This is a good series for someone looking to read a different kind of paranormal romance, one thats hot and engaging.

That being said this is not the best of the bunch. It has wonderful portions...and really annoying ones.

The Lord of the Underworld are men cursed to house demons within themselves. Maddox is the keeper of violence. He is also cursed to die a painful death each night only to be resurrected each morning. Ashlyn is a woman with a psychic ability-she can her the conversations that took place in an area in the past. She works for an institution that studies paranormal creatures. But her gift causes her great pain-she cannot tune out the voices. Than she meets Maddox and finds that his touch can offer her much needed silence-and well as untold passion.

The best parts are the plot, the ideas, and the world. The use of Greek mythology is clever and entertaining. The other characters that are introduced are also captivating.

I was not wholly in love with either main character, but their romance is hot. There are times when you really feel for them. Ashlyn is a difficult character to relate to. She isn't at all strong or independent when the story begins, and not much about that changes. Maddox is just flat out scary, and not always in a good way. I'm not actually sure at any point why Ashlyn loves him, though their feelings for one another are quite apparent.

I found this book alone to be average, but the series as a whole is well above average. I would recommend it to anyone who likes violence, fantasy, and unconventional romance.
