Book Review – The Darkest Night by Gena Showalter

June 24, 2011 By Maryse 14 Comments

The Darkest Night (Hqn)
What is the difference between a bossy guy that makes you growl with anger and a bossy guy that makes you purr? Well… the purr-inducer is a paranormal hottie that doesn’t know any better. He doesn’t “get” us modern women and he just can’t help his bossiness.  Hundreds of years (thousands?) spent in torture, with out love will do that to a guy. Oh… and he’s irresistably intense.

Hey! What?! *blush* I’m making excuses for this guy? I suppose I have a need to explain and rationalize my reason for crushing on this “hero” so badly (cause really, I should have wanted to kick him you know where!) I mean, I found myself frequently appalled and yet completely… *ahem* smitten. Yeah. Smitten. Let’s go with that 😉

“Let me go, Maddox. Please.”

Another pause, heavier than before. He stepped closer, placing them nose to nose as he had in the forest. His eyes were bright violet now. “Last night I told you to return to the city. You refused. You even followed me. You cried out for me. Remember?”

The reminder stung. “A moment of insanity,” she whispered, looking down at her hands. Her fingers were intertwined, the knuckles white.

“Well, that moment of insanity sealed your fate, woman. You’re staying here.”

Tee hee! Appalled, are you? And titillated too, I bet! He gets worse (even tells her to behave herself). Why, of all the nerve… Ugh!! 😉

I will say, THIS series has probably been the one most recommended to me, since I’ve started reading the genre. Why have I delayed this long? I honestly don’t know. I had a feeling, once I started, I’d probably be enthusiastically in for the long haul, but I waited. I read stuff. Some stuff that I will love forever. Some stuff that I feel wasted my time. I have a feeling this series (yes, I’m only on book one so I may be jumping the gun here) will end up on my top ten paranormals list. I have a fun ride ahead of me don’t I?

And Lily did get my enthusiastic “quick version” story recount. You know when I feel the need to tell her about it, even though I should be working instead… it was good! Oh, and my husband got a dose of it too. Why do I keep telling him these stories? It’s not like he’s gonna *like* ’em, like I do. I swear it makes me giggle how much he rolls his eyes when I tell him all the good parts. I must like to punish myself when I insist he understand that “it’s not as bad as it sounds”!

Many of you already know all about the series, so you all can laugh at my “newbie-ness” (but please so do so in the comments so I can giggle, too), and for those of you who are new to the series too, let’s read it together!!

Long story short. Male “guardians” to the Greek Gods were bein’ all pouty once, when they found out that a female Guardian ( *gasp* the horror!!) “Pandora”, was left in charge of protecting a certain demon-holding box. To teach the Gods (and her) a lesson, they snuck in and released all the evil demons imprisoned in that very box. Stupid men!!! Paranormal or not, they make some pretty dumb decisions sometimes.

They’d only thought to teach the gods a lesson the night they’d stolen dimOuniak from Pandora and released the horde of demons upon the unsuspecting world. How foolish they had been. Their plan to prove their power had failed, for the box had gone missing in the fray, leaving the warriors unable to recapture a single spirit.

‘Cause well… they couldn’t get the demons back in there. The evil demons were wreaking havoc all willy-nilly everywhere, and as the demons were collected, instead of going back in the box, the Greek Gods decided on a punishment. Each of the pouty Guardians were to host one of the demons. In their own body. Forever.

A fitting punishment. The warriors had unleashed the evil to avenge their stinging pride; now they would contain it.

Awesome premise, right!!?

So now there is a skilled, human society (The Hunters) that are out to get these “Guardians” and rid the world of their evil. Through time there have been battles and bloodshed with these “Hunters”. But now, in modern times, the Guardians simply want to reside in their castle in Budapest, to live their lives in peace, while they each struggle with the tortures of these different demons. In return for their quiet lives, they provide the people of Budapest with money, and protection. Because you know, all in all, they’re “good guys”.

Okay, now about this book: There’s this sweet inexperienced female – Ashlyn (tiny and human) that has a strange ability to hear conversations from the past. Anywhere she is, any conversation that has ever taken place. Good or bad. She hears them all. Non stop, since she’s been a child. It drives her crazy. She was raised in a scientific institution that studied her (not much love and affection there), and she aides them in their paranormal research. She’s lead them to vampires, goblins, and all the rest. In their Budapest travels, she has heard many conversations regarding the “angels” and some would even say “demons” that live on the hill, and their ability to aid so many. She decides to trek up the hill (all by herself, late at night 🙄 ) to ask if they can help her control her “abilities” so she can finally get some peace.

On her way up, she bumps into one of ’em (Maddox). He is one of the strongest warriors (he hosts the “Violence” demon). While she is in his vicinity, all of the voices become silent (as if they fear him). She is finally at peace.

In that moment, she forgot her fear. How could this man be possessed by a demon when he came with such lovely quiet. Demons were a source of torment. Not peace.

Was he an angel of mercy, then, as the locals assumed?

But he just wants her to go home and leave them alone. They do not trust anyone that tries to approach their lair (due to the “hunters” and all their ploys). That, and well, she was followed up by some of those very “Hunters” and now he has to kill ’em all (with her stuck in the middle).

“I need your help. Tell me how to control my power and I’ll leave here and now. Or let me stay with you and learn how it’s done.”

He released her, then reached for her again, then stopped and fisted his hand. “I do not know why I am hesitating,” he said, even as he eyed her mouth with what might have been longing. “Midnight is closing in, and you need to be as far away from me as possible.”

And as he starts back, the voices start bombarding her again. She runs after him and clings to him. Begs him to take her with him. Yup. She begs *cringe*.

“I’m not going back. Wherever you go, I’ll follow.” A threat, yes, but one she intended to uphold.

But he can’t. Cause he’s gotta go to Hell. As he does every night at midnight. Poor guy. Yup. Every night, as part of his curse and punishment, he gets stabbed to death, six times by his best friends, and burns in hell until morning. Then he wakes up, lives his day, and starts all over again. And guess what. It’s near midnight, and she’s clinging to the leg of a very angry demon that’s on his way back to a night of torture.

But he can’t seem to shake her off and he sorta feels bad for her cause she’s all weak and cold and falling all over herself to keep up with him, so he gives her a fair warning…

“You’ll come to regret this,” he said,

and when she doesn’t heed it, he throws her over his shoulder like a sack of potatoes, and heads back to his lair. He has no time to argue. He needs to get back as Hell awaits. She’s a permanent part of their puzzle now, and nobody, not even Maddox, knows what to do with her.

This is a story about how an inexperienced human girl, learns to cope with something she should have left well enough alone, and how one of the angriest Lord of the Underworld guys deals with her creeping into his heart. One that he thought no longer existed.

Nice. Very nice. Okay, sometimes a bit *eye rolling* but mostly sigh inducing. I hated him… and loved him. And while she was a bit (okay, a lot) clingy and not very assertive, if you make a point to not take it too seriously, you can really enjoy it.

This has a very BDB-ish feel to it (BDB-ish = Black Dagger Brotherhood). A band of immortal “brothers” who each have their own cross to bear. They love and hate each other, and suffer together. They fight with each other, and for each other. A nice look into how an angry, tortured no-nonsense group of immortal half demon/half guardian lords deal with the intrusion of this new female (and their complete bewilderment, when one of their toughest succumbs to this mere mortal woman). All sense of logic – out the window!

“What’s she to you?”

“Mine,” was the only answer he had. “She’s mine.”

Oh and, there’s other stuff too. Like more Hunters. And curses. And mistrust. And another group of women that suddenly become a part of it all – and a little side (possibly love?) story to go along with it. They still befuddle me, but book #2 is sure to expand.

Off I go to continue my journey 😉

These are great books, I really feel bad for these guys even though you want to smack them for opening the box! Gena writes great characters too, I think she’s one of only a couple of Authors I would buy her stuff without looking at the storyline first!

Oh you guys have me so excited!! I can’t wait to get home tonight so I can read #2!!

Sheeeesh… and I thought Maddox would be unbeatable in crushworthy-ness.

I’m a little apprehensive about the cutter. As much as I love vampires… this guy’s a little *ew* bloody-wise. But, I still can’t wait to read him.

Oh you going to love the cutter! He is so easy to fall in love with! I think I loved him the most! The only book that I thought from this series was so-so was the angel of death’s story. It was eh, but…. It picks up again after that one! Enjoy!

I SWOON for the Black Dagger Brothers (Tohrment especially), these, however, seem to just now begun to pick up speed.

The first few at the beginning could have been stand alones IMO, but not anymore… especially once the SECOND group of Lords are introduced 🙂

Unlike BDB, I have not been compelled to reread them upteen zillion times, but perhaps I should! 🙂

I have just started reading this series too, after having my friend tell me over and over to start reading them. I just finished Death’s story, Darkest Kiss. It was ok, not as good as the first one. I am ready to start Darkest Pleasure and can’t wait

Just found your blog, awesome!

Oh, Maryse, you don’t know what kind of ride you’re in for. Even though you’ve only just completed the first book in this indescribably good series, you have no idea that “goodness” that lies ahead. I can’t wait for you to get all caught up. And, after you breeze through the series (I dare you to try and stop reading), you’ll have to let us all know who your favorite Lord is. As for me, I’m torn between Pain, Lies and Paris (of course). There is also another that I love, but I am hesistant to mention him just yet. Ohh, I’m so excited on your behalf! This series is really, really good and so worth reading — again and again and again! But that’s just what I do!

Becky: So glad you’re reading along with me. Let me know how you like them 🙂

Yvette, I am totally loving it. I’m hoping to finish my reviews tonight. Book#2 was good, but didn’t wow me like #1, but book#3 – oh yes. I’m right back to loving it. I love how she branches off into different stories, so that the other immortal’s “stories” last longer than just one book. Paris… wow. He irked me a bit, but at the end of book#3, when he made his choice. My heart broke. LOVED it. And Reyes, yeah… he might be my favorite. Although, I still have a ways to go 😉

No wait. I still love Maddox’s intensity the most. When he loves… boy does he LOVE.

Tamara & Kim 🙂 YAY!!! really? I already love 1 & 3 so they get even better for you? Excellent news!! #3 kept me reading almost straight through…

Maybe I should just back off but what the hell I love them and nearly gave my mother a concussion when in the darkest whisper gwen finally grew a pair I cheered ‘go gwenny’ the book came flying out my hand hit my mother of the head and bounced off of her skull to the floor at which point I shouted ‘my book’ and ignoring mny mothers obvious pain, dived for the book. That’s how obsessed I am with this series

And!! Here's the original reader question (plus 4 different books were guessed for it): www.maryse.net/reader-questions/reader-question-the-book-about-the-girl-that-works-at-a-cafe-and-...

Couple of details wrong in the question, if this is indeed the book/answer. The H goes to the coffee shop (Grind Me), not a cafe, once a week (not daily) on his way to volunteer. It's a great, fun book.

Loved this book so much.

I’m sure this might be a Shayla Black book 🤔perfect gentlemen series I wonder 💭

This is one of the reading app stories, not available as an ebook. I've gotten the FB ad for it a few times, but I can't remember which app it was. Hinovel, Readict, etc.
