Weekend Book Club--The Darkest Warrior by Gena Showalter

THE DARKEST WARRIOR is Gena Showalter's latest offering in her Lords of the Underworld series. I've been reading this series since the first book was released. (This is book 14.)

Unique, dark, and compelling. If you enjoy paranormal romance, you should give it a try, but I'd start with book one. While The Darkest Warrior probably could be read as a stand-alone book, you'd miss a lot of the history between the characters and the nuances that are in the story.


BLURB:

He is ice…
Puck the Undefeated, host of the demon of Indifference, cannot experience emotion without punishment, so he allows himself to feel nothing. Until her. According to ancient prophecy, she is the key to avenging his past, saving his realm and ruling as king. All he must do? Steal her from the man she loves—and marry her.

She is fire…

Gillian Shaw has suffered many tragedies in her too-short life, but nothing could have prepared the fragile human for her transition into immortality. To survive, she must wed a horned monster who both intrigues and frightens her…and become the warrior queen she was born to be.

Together they burn.

As a rising sense of possession and obsession overtake Puck, so does insatiable lust. The more he learns about his clever, resourceful wife, the more he craves her. And the more time Gillian spends with her protective husband, the more she aches for him. But the prophecy also predicts an unhappily-ever-after. Can Puck defeat fate itself to keep the woman who brought his deadened heart back to life? Or will they succumb to destiny, losing each other…and everything they’ve been fighting for?
