Neither can resist the instant hunger that 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?.Dark and Sensual In a remote fortress in Budapest, six immortal warriors are bound by an ancient curse none has been able to break. This curse was brought on upon them by the gods in consequence from unleashing the demons from Pandora's Box. Each warrior houses a demon. Maddox has Violence, Lucien is Death, Reyes is Pain, Torin is Disease, Paris is Promiscuity, and Aeron is Wrath. The Darkest Night is about Maddox, on top of housing his demon; the gods placed another curse on him for killing Pandora. Maddox dies every night at midnight the same way he killed Pandora- six stabs in the stomach with his sword. Reyes is the one who has to deliver the blows and Lucien takes Maddox to Hell. Ashlyn Darrow hears voices; they swarm inside her head never giving her a moment's peace, until she is in Maddox's presence. She has lived a life with no love, parents, or touching. Ashlyn was abandoned at a Paranormal Institute by her parents who couldn't take her ability. Ashlyn has no idea who she works for and what they truly do, she is somewhat delusional. Her life changes drastically when Maddox takes her back to the fortress, there she is met with open hostility from the warriors. Hunters are after the warriors thinking they are controlled by their demons with no trace of man. The hunters are looking for Pandora's Box to suck the demons out of the warriors. Danger follows at the warriors heels while Ashlyn and Maddox fall in love. This is the first Gena Showalter book I have read and I loved it! What a story and so unlike Feehan's Carpathian novels or Moning's and Wolff's highlander series. It was a nice change; I cannot wait for The Darkest Kiss to come in the mail. Gena Showalter produced this trilogy pretty fast. What I wonder though is, since there are 6 warriors why are there only three books? Why not makes a book for each warrior? Maddox, Lucien, and Reyes have their own books, but what about Torin, Paris, and Aeron? There is an e-book by Gena Showalter called the Darkest Fire; I've heard it's a prequel to the trilogy, but that's all I know. I highly recommend this book; it has the right amount of action, romance, and suspense.
