    <body><![CDATA[I wanted to love this book. I really did. As the second in a series where the first didn't impress me I was hoping it was just a fluke. But once again I just didn't quite fall in love with the Lords of the Underworld. <br/><br/>The Darkest Kiss is Lucien, Keeper of Death's, story.

    <body><![CDATA[Ok, I left a review on THE DARKEST NIGHT saying that as the books go on they get better and you become insatiable. This book is where the fun really begins. You fall in love with Anya. She is so different and so much fun to read about. <br/><br/>Now, because I loved Maddox and Ashlyn, I was hoping...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/77423753">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I really enjoyed this book.  This is the second one in the series and am now reading the third in anticipation for the fourth one in September.  This book is primarily on Lucien, but it has all the other warriors in it as well.  The story line continues with the warriors trying to find 4 artifacts w...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/54050401">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This series is fair to good. More fair. The characters are great, the idea for the plot solid, it's just the follow through is off. This book was, in the beginning, not bad. The middle third was not so great, and the ending was really good. It was the middle that killed it. It was monotonous. 50 pag...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/44824861">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Great second book in Gena Showalter's Lords of the Underworld series. (Quick question - why was this originally billed as a trilogy? Yeah, those first three were released in rapid succession, but it seems fairly clear from the writing in the two that I've read so far that she always intended, or at ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/50251978">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This was another great work by Showalter. Anya's character had me laughing my arse off. Lucian was wonderfully dark..and...of course, sexy.  <br/>Lots of action and you could cut the sexual tension with a thread.<br/>There is a lot of different stuff going on in this book, which sets things up for...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/43427987">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Okay - I liked this better than Book 3 - which yes, I read out of order. Anyway, I loved Anya's sassiness. It was a well suited foil to Lucien's seriousness. Certainly we can understand why Death might be a bit serious - he does escort souls to the Underworld or to Heaven. Still, Anya helps Lucien l...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/73084104">more...</a>]]></body>
