I loved this book..The plot was familar (little like JR Ward), but it was different too.
If your into paranormal romance, this is a must read

While I am a fan of Gena Showalter, this once again is one of her fun to read but forgettable books. I get caught up in the moment while reading but a week or so later can't tell you what it is all about. This book is her take on the recent infatuation with immortals or otherworld beings. I enjoyed the premise of the book but I reccomend this only for a light and fun read. Seek out Sands, Ward or Joyce if you want a deeper reading experience. This book and from the excerpt for the next book is a 'beach' read.

First off, I must say that I'm a picky reader and I LOVED this series. This was my first exposure to Gena Showalter and she's not only a great story-teller, but she is humorous and thoroughly entertaining. I couldn't put the book down and have recommended her to every reader I know.

First time I've read Showalter. Overall it's a good read. What I did like? The dark brooding men - tortured literally. What I didn't like - how can you be an immortal warrior living in modern day Budapest and NOT know what Tylenol is - when you're stuck inside all day surely you watch a little daytime TV.

It's either hit or miss with Showalter's writing. This was way too close to JR Ward's series. This was a big miss for me - I didn't even finish the book.

This was my first Gena Showalter book and first romance novel that I have read. Let me just say that I really enjoyed this book, I love all of the characters in this book! I really like books that have gods and goddesses in them and that also talk about Pandora's box. I have already ordered the next two books and look forward to reading the whole series!

I love Gena Showalter and this series does NOT disappoint at all! I can't wait to read the rest in this series! Highly recommend if you like the paranormal romance as well as Gena Showalter! I have yet to read one of her books that I haven't loved!

This was such a good book. My first from this author and certainly not my last. I am a fan of J.R. Ward, and although similar you can't really compare. Maddox is such a tortured person that it takes one tough chick to help him from the hell he's in. I liked the premise of the characters and how they became the Lords of the Underworld. Again, I can't compare to J.R Ward's Black Dagger Brotherhood because she is the queen of those characters but what I did like in GS stories and NOT in J.R.Ward is the there are no lessers here. Yes, the hunters are the "bad guys" in this book but they are not the only one's and I can feel there's more to the hunters here than the lessers in J.R.Ward's books. I already ordered book 2 and 3.
