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.…

  2. MINE! says:

    OMGoodness! Anya is full of surprises!! I love her naughtiness. Aside from Aeron, Lucien’s one of my top favorite Lords. This was an awesome read.

  3. Alejandra says:

    I cannot express how much I loved this book! Everytime they came close to each other I felt some sort of electricity and I LOVED IT!! AS PATHETIC AS THIS MAY SOUND I TOTALLY FELL FOR LUCIEN

  4. Toni says:

    I loved this book!! I like the fact that if you read books like Kenyons you can relate to the Gods etc, it feels like one big family! I laughed and cried so much with this book and absolutely loved Lucian. It made it hard for me to get into Darkest pleasure though as I only wanted to read the Lucian and Anya parts!! Can’t wait for more!!

    This was my first book by Gena Showalter and I loved it! Lucien was so tortured and insecure and Anya was funny! But so far, Seduce the Darkness has had the best humor in it, along with the romance! Devyn’s obsession with himself was hilarious!

  6. b says:

    This was my favorite character! I think it was at this point in the series that the plot really thickened and the hunt for artifacts emerged. Plus, you can’t help but fall for him. He leads a fairly lonely existence until Anya. And why isn’t he, Maddox, and Reyes in the character list?

  7. Shadow-Hunter says:

    I want to read the book so bad. I have read the reviews and it is killing me. I want so much to able to see what happens, but I can’t untill a week. I am literally going crazy over this book. Anya and Lucien are my favorite characters.

  8. Kathy says:

    Hot!

  13. Rebecca says:

    Cant find this book instock anywhere at Borders and Barnes and Noble. I’m talking like within 100 miles in coastal California. and no I dont want the hardcover. This is weird because all the other books by this publisher are easy enough to find. Anyone know whats going on? I could order online but if hubby found out this dark secret….

  14. Missy says:

    I have been looking for this book for months now, I have looked at my local book stores and in SCIFI bookclub, I can’t find this book. I have Darkest Night, Darkest Pleasure, and Darkest Whisper but I can’t find Darkest Kiss. Is it because they didn’t publish that many of this book or something. Even the library doesn’t have it. I can’t find it anywhere’s and I am so wanting to read this one before I continue with Darkest Whisper. But I love the other books so much that I convinced my neices and daughter to read these books.

  15. danielle says:

    i love this book. out of all the heroines in this series anya is by far my fav. she is kickass and funny and best of all terrifying enough to scare the big bad lords of the underworlds. gotta love that kind of female!!! excellent!

  16. Chelly says:

    Dunno why lucien is the most unliked of the lords, even that i like each one of them, but lucien has a certain je nes ce quoi, he was the reason i discovered this series, and since i just can get enogh of the lords, i just whish that in the next books we get to see more of him.

  17. Yuki says:

    i need this book!!! i went to all the bookstores here in seattle and even went up north to find it. It’s so hard to find!!!!

  18. jess says:

    I have read every one thats out so far in this series and I have to say this one is by far my favorite I so am in love with Lucien:)!

  19. Sammy says:

    I am literally losing it. I read the one with Sabin and Gwen and Anya and Lucien stole my heart. I keep on reading what I can find about the series. I cant wait to read it, been 4 months now that I have waiting for my order to come in. I swear I will read this book over and over again. I never thought I could get so attached to a book! This needs to become a movie, really.

  20. sami says:

    This is the first one and the only one i have read. It was the cover that 1st got my attention (god he is so hot!) but as I read I simply fell in love with Lucien and i absolutely am crazy about his name! The name by itself turns me on. I just ordered the 1st, 3rd, and 4th book and can not wait to get them! I would also love to read a book on Paris or was his search for romance over when the girl he met died in this book? That can’t be it for the poor guy! If she is the one for him let her come back someway! PLEASE!!!!!!!! I liked her and would love to see her re-appear. O and btw, this book was so good i gave it to my bf of 2.5 years and well he actually loved it! Our sex life for the next couple weeks was insane, i must say! ;* Then i lent it to my besty who loved it so much she gave it to someone else and so on. I’m still trying to find my book cause I WANT IT BACK!!!!!! lol For all i know someone could be lying and keeping it all for themselves! i wouldn’t blame them though. anyway, thanx for the awesome book and i am going crazy waiting for the other books i order to get here! also the cover on the darkest passion looks incredibly, can’t wait to read that one! keep up the wonderful writing!!!
