The Darkest Pleasure (Lords of the Underworld, #3)

by Gena Showalter

He can bear any pain but the thought of losing her... 

Reyes is a man possessed. Bound by the demon of pain, he is forbidden to know pleasure. Yet he craves a mortal woman, Danika Ford, more than breath and will do anything to claim her--even defy the gods. 

Danika is on the run. For months she's eluded the Lords of the Underworld, immortal warriors who won't rest until she and her family have been destroyed. But her dreams are haunted by Reyes, the warrior whose searing touch she can't forget. Yet a future together could mean death to all they both hold dear...

I really enjoyed this book. It was fast paced, exciting, and interesting. I do however feel so bad for Paris. His character is sad. I hope he finds his happiness soon. Can't wait to read the next book.

I really enjoyed this book. I think the more I read this series, the more I like it. I really enjoy reading about how the the Lords fight to keep their morals while still satisfying their demons. I really liked Reyes. I think he is my favorite Lord so far. I enjoyed Danika, but not as much as Anya.

The story takes some great turns. We learn more about the Demons and their hosts. There is also some very shocking news about the Hunters. Overall a very good story.

Another excellent book, and finally, Reyes / Pain is able to feel pleasure as well. Danika proved to be a very nice surprise, she's strong, able and ready to do what needs to be done. She will surely be able to help my favorite warriors in their fight against the hunters.

I liked this story better than the last one, it wasn't as good as I hoped. It was just so slow moving; it needed more action. I liked the relationship between Reyes and Danika, though there were some "eww" moments at time. I felt so bad for Paris and wonder what's going to happen with him. The mythology is very good in this series and is the main reason I am going to continue reading it.
