Book Description:
His powers -- Inhuman
His passion -- Beyond immortal . . .

All her life, Ashlyn Darrow has been tormented by voices from the past. To end the nightmare, she has come to Budapest seeking help from men rumored to have supernatural abilities, not knowing she'll be swept into the arms of Maddox, their most dangerous member -- a man trapped in a hell of his own.

Neither can resist the instant hunger than calms their torments . . . and ignites an irresistible passion. But every heated touch and burning kiss will edge them closer to destruction -- and a soul-shattering test of love . . .

Though they carry an eternal curse, the Lords of the Underworld are irresistibly seductive -- and unimaginably powerful . . .

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

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.

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.

A few good sex scenes surrounded by silliness. Plot and characters laughable.

I'm don't read paranormal romance very often. But I fell in love with the Main characters of this book. Wonderful story, I can't wait to read the rest of them. Gena Showalter writes an excellent book.

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.

I really enjoyed this book and I am looking so forward to reading the rest of these books. If you like paranormal books you should really like this one.

Starts a little slow getting all the information about the premise but once you get in a little ways it's a great book. Stick with it!

This is one of the best series EVER! I love Gena Showalter's imagination. The men are sexy as heck and just as passionate. This is one of those books you stay up all night reading b/c you have to know what happens on the next page.

Awesome read!

This is a great read! The author brings a whole new look into immortals. After getting themselves cursed by Zeus for opening Pandora's box those present now house demons. What follows is is an adventure into what the immortal men think is the perfect life and what truly is. There is a lot of action and romance to keep you reading until the very end!
