4 ½-5 stars – Paranormal Romance

GAWD this cover is gorgeous!

And Strider? He’s a sexy, snarky, narcissistic, surprisingly sweet, possessive, protective, and all around badass, fun-loving warrior. His constant need for challenge to assuage his demon of Defeat and egotistical inner dialogue is freaking hilarious. He’s one of my favorite Lords and Kaia the Kick-Ass (my chosen nickname for her) Harpy is just perfect for him. Darkest Surrender is a great addition to the LOTU series.

“You are not Kaia the Disappointment. Do you hear me? That’s what I was trying to tell you earlier. You are Kaia the Mighty. How many Harpies out there do you think could have brought down the most badass Lord of the Underworld? The same Lord who also happens to be the strongest, sexiest and smartest. And by the way, in case there’s any doubt, I’m describing me.”

Here’s my Strider casting:

ValerieC What I have noticed lately is that there are muscled guys and then they paint up their muscles even more. This is a fantasy cover though, and it's appropriate here. I like the ink, too. In fact, I like this whole series... it's like an old friend now.


Shawna Oh my! Sexy Strider certainly lived up to this smokin' cover, and then some! Loved him!
