Soundtrack Inspiration
Happy middle of the week!
When I heard this song for the first time, I met some new characters but I didn't know if they should be members of an existing series of mine or have their own. This song has popped up on my Pandora a few times since. Then the imagination fairy smacked me upside the head with an idea and the Shadow Lord world, characters, and series was created. Can't wait to share some snippets from that work in progress. For now, I've got to focus on the Rulers of Darkness, Under Realm Assassins, and a possible stand alone/trilogy Passion's Prey, before I completely dive into the Shadow Lord realm.
For now, I'll share the song that inspired the paranormal / sci-fi series.

I've spent years
working on the final version of Passion's Prey. Seriously, I've rewritten this
book about 10 times. Just trying to make it perfect since Gregory and Amber
deserve nothing less.
Here is a song that has helped while I outline and rearrange over 100,000 words.

Review of The Darkest Secret
 |
| Amazon B&N |
by Gena Showalter
3.5 starts of 5
Description:
Keeper of the demon of Secrets, Amun can manipulate the darkest thoughts of anyone nearby. But when the immortal warrior is chained and isolated to protect those he loves, death is his only hope of release—until he meets Haidee, a fellow prisoner whose beauty and hidden vulnerability draw him into a reckless test of his loyalty.
Haidee is a demon-assassin, raised to despise Amun's kind. Yet how can she hate the man whose touch sets her aflame? But to save him, she must give herself body and soul...and face the wrath of a powerful adversary sworn to destroy her.
Review:
The Darkest Secret is book 7 within the Lords of the Underworld series. Amun, the keeper of secrets, is our leading man. The heroine, Haidee, is a hunter intent on freeing the world of demons. Their romance kicks off a bit rocky. Haidee has been captured and is being held in the Lord's dungeon, since she is the woman who killed their friend long ago. And, after some back and forth, they end up skipping off to Hell together for a mission. It is during this time, while working together, that they get to know each other and catch feelings.

Review of The Darkest Whisper
The Darkest Whisper (Lords of the Underworld #4)
by Gena Showalter
3.5 of 5 Stars
Description:
He is the keeper of Doubt and his entire world’s about to be rocked.
Bound by the demon of Doubt, Sabin unintentionally destroys even the most confident of lovers. So the immortal warrior spends his time on the battlefield instead of the bedroom, victory his only concern…until he meets Gwendolyn the Timid. One taste of the beautiful redhead, and he craves more.
Gwen, an immortal herself, always thought she’d fall for a kind human who wouldn’t rouse her darker side. But when Sabin frees her from prison, battling their enemies for the claim to Pandora’s box turns out to be nothing compared to the battle Sabin and Gwen will wage against love…
Review:
This is the fourth book within the Lords of the Underworld series. The Darkest Whisper focuses on Sabin, the keeper of Doubt. For the past couple hundred years, he has been leading a separate group of the lords of the Underworld and he will do anything to save his brothers from the human hunters that want to destroy the lords. He was the typical alpha male, but he had his sensitive moments and I really liked his characters.

by Gena Showalter
4.5 of 5 Stars
Description:
She has tempted many men...but never found her equal. Until now.
Though she has lived for centuries, Anya, goddess of Anarchy, has never known pleasure. Until Lucien, the incarnation of death--a warrior eternally doomed to take souls to the hereafter. He draws her like no other. And Anya will risk anything to have him.

Review:
Lucien is Death - literally. He collects and delivers souls to their final destinations. He is scared, fierce, a man of few words, intelligent and merciless. He will do anything to protect his fellow Lords of the Underword.

Review of the Darkest Night (Lords of the Underworld, #1)
The Darkest Night (Lords of the Underworld, #1)
by Gena Showalter
4.5 stars of 5
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...
(From Goodreads)
Review:
Amazing!
This series is a refreshing take on paranormal romance - so much more than the traditional vampires and werewolves. Now, don't get me wrong, I adore vampires and werewolves, but these demon possessed warriors are delicious!
The Darkest Night is the first installment with in the Lords of the Underworld series.
Ashlyn has heard a rumor of men with supernatural powers who may be able to help her either understand or cure her of her own. She is wondering the forest and mountains searching for their home when she is attached by a man with hell in his eyes.
Maddox was once a guardian of the Gods (Greek pantheon) who has been cursed to harbor a demon from Pandora's box within himself. When he discovers a lone woman wandering around outside his castle, he is certain she is "bait", meant to lure him out so that the hunters can capture and or kill him. She is successful with luring him from his home, but she is the one who is captured.
While Ashlyn and Maddox work through their misunderstanding, there attraction grows and becomes undeniable - leading to a steamy romance. The main characters were a great match. Maddox was the right amount of tormented hero and Ashlyn was both sweet and sassy.
The side characters were awesome! Everyone one of them is different and they make you want to read more - drawing you further into the Lords of the Underworld's realm.
If you are passionate about paranormal romance, this is a MUST read series.

Sexy Snippets
Today's sexy snippet comes from Passion's Prey
(release date to be announced)
(release date to be announced)
~ Gregory
left her lips and went to her ear, drawing his tongue around the rim and
roughly nibbling the lobe, teasing her with his fags. Scorching waves of heat washed
over her and pool between her thighs. She burned with need. Hot. Wet. Her thoughts
dominated by desire, her body trembling with yearning
He brushed his index finger over her
moistened lips, her chin and her throat. Tickling the sensitive flesh of the
valley between her breasts, he continued. Down. Further. Over her flat belly.
Her back bowed when his finger slipped over her clitoris and between her folds.
Gregory’s growl rocked her with pleasurable
vibrations.
“You want me inside you, don’t you Amber?
You crave me," he rasped, his voice gruff. Wolfish. The sensual, deep baritone
sent shivers racing through her. She was ready to scream at him if he didn't
bring her to climax soon.
"Yes," she said on a sigh as he
pressed his tip to her core.
"Guide me in. Take me in."~

Review of Beauty Awakened
Beauty Awakened (Angels of the Dark, #2)
by Gena Showalter
3 of 5 Stars
Description
His name is Koldo. He is scarred, powerful, his control legendary-and he lives only for vengeance, determined to punish the angel who viciously removed his wings. But if he yields to the forces of hatred, he will be kicked from the heavens, eternally damned.
She is his last hope. Nicola Lane was born with a defective heart, yet this fragile human shows surprising strength as demons stalk her every move, determined to end her. She is the key to Koldo's deliverance...and his downfall. Though he fights duty, destiny and his first addictive taste of desire, his toughest battle will be the one for Nicola's life-even if he has to sacrifice his own....
Review
I love Gena Showalter’s Lords of the Underworld series and the Angels of the Dark series is a spin off.
I enjoyed Wicked Nights, the first book of the series, but the second, Beauty Awakened kind of lost me. Beauty Awakened started out strong but fell flat.

Review:
LOVED IT!
This has become one of my favorite within this series. I felt that this was a great beauty and the beast type love story. Malkom Slaine stole my heart from the first and Carrow Graie was strong and goal orientated.
The book stars with past scenes of Malkom's life then flashes forward to Carrow in a high security cell.

Review of Seduced by Shadows
Seduced by Shadows by Jessa Slade
3 of 5 Stars
Description:
When Sera Littlejohn
meets a violet-eyed stranger, he reveals a supernatural battle veiled in
the shadows, and Sera is tempted to the edge of madness by a dangerous
desire. Ferris Archer takes Sera under his wing, now that she is a
talyan-possessed by a repentant demon with hellish powers. Archer's
league of warriors have never fought beside a female before, and never
in all his centuries has Archer found a woman who captivates him like

With the balance shifting between good and evil, passion and possession, Sera and Archer must defy the darkness and dare to embrace a love that will mark them forever.
Review:
I hate to say this about any book, but this was a tough read for me. Usually I finish a book within 2to 3 days, this book took me a week. The writing itself was great, Slade has a wonderful style.
