Publisher Comments:

She has tempted many men… but never found her equal.

Until now.

Though she has lived for centuries, Anya, goddess of anarchy, has never known pleasure. Until Lucien, the incarnation of death—a warrior eternally doomed to take souls to the hereafter. He draws her like no other. And Anya will risk anything to have him.

But when the merciless Lord of the Underworld is ordered by the gods to claim Anya herself, their uncontrollable attraction becomes an anguished pursuit. Now they must defeat the unconquerable forces that control them, before their thirst for one another demands a sacrifice of love beyond imagining.…

I love this book. When I read the first one I was a little skeptical at first but then I just couldn't put it down! They're funny and sexy and combine that mythological piece with steamy scenes, *sigh*, they are definitly good. This is the only one I need out of the trilogy since I have Darkest Night/Darkest Pleasure.

This book was just as good as the first book... I was getting the feeling that is wasn't when I first started reading but it got me hooked... and it is right up there with The Darkest Night...

Lucien and Anya make a wonderful couple in this book... Anya an anarchy... and Lucien the keeper of death...

fro the very beginning she is attracted to Lucien... for a long while in the book he doesn't want to believe that Anya really liked him... he only thought that she was playing games with him...

Anya falls head over heels for Lucien... and when he is commanded to take her life he discovers that he can't do it... he realizes that he cares about her too...

It's a wonderful book... full of action, suspense, and romance... I can't wait until the third book comes out... and if it catches me like this one did then I won't be putting it down until I've finished it...

My, my, my. I don't know how I'm going to wait another month for the final book in this trilogy by Gena Showalter. I really enjoyed the first book "The Darkest Night" (see my review), but I just loved "The Darkest Kiss". And the hunk on the cover...whew, hold on to your hats ladies, cause he's one steaming hunk of manhood, er demonhood?

He is Death. Since he was the leader of his men and released the demons from the box, it's only fitting that the demon he houses is Death. His job is to ferry the souls to heaven or hell, but allowed entrance to neither. He marked himself with a poisoned blade to remind himself never to love; loving means having to escort that soul and once was more than enough.

She is Anarchy, a minor goddess. OK, OK Anya, NOT that minor! She's not quite sure why she's so attracted to Death, but his scars draw her as does his demon. Two bad boys for the price of one!! She is as irreverent as he is solemn and neither can fight the unholy pull they have to one another.

I absolutely devoured this book! What began with the first book in the series becomes deeper, more complex, and more intriguing. If the final book comes anywhere close to the first two, then all three of these will be in a place of honor on my keeper shelf!!
