New York Times bestselling author Gena Showalter returns with a brand-new addition to her explosive Lords of the Underworld series featuring William, the story her fans have been clamoring for.
A merciless prince feared by all...
Cursed by a vengeful witch, William of the Dark will die if he ever falls in love – murdered by the woman who steals his heart. His lone shot at redemption is a book filled with indecipherable code. Break the code, break the curse. Now, centuries later, he's condemned to a string of one-night stands...until he finds the only woman in the worlds able to set him free.
A rare creature of myth and power...
One of the last living unicorn shifters, Sunday 'Sunny' Lane works from the shadows as a cryptanalyst, on the run from assassins and poachers. Then the darkly seductive William abducts her, holding her captive in Hell. The closer they get, the more she hungers for his touch...and the stronger a mystical desire to kill him becomes...
Both forever doomed?
At war with his brother, Lucifer, and determined to become a king of the underworld at long last, William must resist the irreverent beauty who threatens his future. But every day Sunny tempts him more, his hunger for her unmatched. Will he risk his heart – and his life – or will the curse ensure his end?
My Review:
I really enjoyed this book! William has been around since book 2, and while Sunny was only introduced in this book, or really, The Darkest Assassin, she really hit the ground running! I enjoyed them together so much, she really pricked his ego, which he needed.
I really enjoyed the fact that we got to see William's background, his origin story, how he got cursed, and how he's connected to Axel. His relationship with this family-Axel and Hades, was pretty great side plot to read!
The main two thrusts of this story were solving his book with the code, and battling Lucifer. Part of the code breaking is the fact that he's cursed that if he falls in love, well, she'll try to kill him. So there's that going on as well. It was so much fun to read!
I'm wondering if we're going to see Axel and Evelina have a book. Maybe not in this series because Gena Showalter mentioned that while this series is pretty much over since all of the original Lords have had books, well, we're going to be getting more books in this world. This is the first book that didn't have a demon-possessed character as a lead, so that would be a good end spot for this series. And these two would be a great couple! Though there are a few demon possessed individuals who haven't gotten their stories yet...And the story arc of this series with the artifacts hasn't finished yet, either...
Loved this book, it was a fantastic read, and I can't wait to see what we'll get next!
