Spark By Anthea Sharp

Spark (Feyguard, #1)Spark by Anthea Sharp
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book has been on my 2013 book list and finally it came out!!! Anthea Sharp again takes us into the Fey world, but this time we get to see a whole new side of things.

After the events in Feyland: The Twilight Kingdom, Spark heads back into her normal life of tours and signing first stop SimCon but when she meets Aran, she's hoping for more then just another fan.

Aran a wise hacker of the world has come to SimCon trying to get his hands on some play time in Feyland. When he happens to meet Spark and gets a personal invite to try the game, he thinks he has it made. What he doesn't know may just set the stage from trouble.

This being the first book after the Feyland series I fall in love with Spark. It was nice to get to see her on a more personal level and to move away from Jennet and Tam's story.

So what did I think about this one.... I'll get back to you after I'm done reading it again! Just kidding! The plot was new and for someone that works for Cons it was nice to see the underdogs that run things behind the screens get some page time. I also know how it feels to be running from one place to another at a Con or show and Sharp has got it down to the last T.

For characters Spark and Aran where great, they felt well rounded and realistic. But I still question about what Aran role will be in the Feyguard now that he know what lays behind the codes. Also I will say I would love to see more of Niteesh, the cutie little guy need his story told ^_^

Overall amazing book, colorful with its ideas and storytelling. I can't wait to see who story gets told next!!!

The Darkest Lie By: Gena Showalter

The Darkest Lie (Lords of the Underworld, #6)The Darkest Lie by Gena Showalter
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Book 6!!!

So end of book 5 Aeron knows he has to save Legion and this is where this book picks up. Part of the Lords are heading to Hell some are working on the keys to finding the box.

Gideon is the holder of Lies, he can tell when someone is telling a lie no matter what, till he meets Scarlet. Scarlet herself is a holder of one of the demon lords, or maybe lady, holder of Nightmares.

Gideon can't place it be he knows her, or thinks he should. When she comes out and tells him they were married, he has no memories of this at all.

It's a fight to see what is truth and what is a lie for the couple.

Out of all the books so far, I was thinking this was going to be weak, but in the end it really was great. My top 3 fav ladies of the world have to be Gwen, Scarlet and Anya.

The Darkest Passion By: Gena Showalter

The Darkest Passion (Lords of the Underworld, #5)The Darkest Passion by Gena Showalter
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Welcome to book 5 of the Lords of the Underworld series.

Aeron has been a through a lot, not only is he the holder of Wrath, he had to tried to kill one of his best friends woman to being so close to hell he came back with a friend. When a angel falls into his life he is unsure of what to do next.

Olivia has been watching over Aeron for sometime and when he breaks a heavenly law she is sent to take his head but can she do it? From what she has seen, yes he may have broken the law, but unknowingly and with everything else he has done he shouldn't have to die for just one thing. The longer she waits the more she see, the more she see the more she can't help longing for him. When she most make up her mind she falls... right into his lap.

This books beings a lot of the angel lore into the series.

Over all, Gena knows what she is doing when it comes to the twists in her stories.

The Darkest Angel By: Gena Showalter

Heart of Darkness (Includes: Lords of the Underworld, #4.5)Heart of Darkness by Gena Showalter
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

So this is the another short story from the LOTW series. This takes place between book 4 and 5.

Title The Darkest Angel and can be found in "Heart of Darkness"

So we meet Bianka in book 4 of the Lord of the Underworld. She is one of Gwen's sisters and also a Harpy. When she is "kidnapped" by Lysander an Angel Commander and demon assassin who finds Bianka's beautiful deadly and that she needs a lesson in goodness. What Lysander did see coming was what Bianka may teach him.

Very cutie story that leads nicely into the 5th book.

The Darkest Whisper By: Gena Showalter

The Darkest Whisper (Lords of the Underworld, #4)The Darkest Whisper by Gena Showalter
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

So we are on to the 4th book of Lords of the Underworld!

So far out of all the female characters I have liked Anya the best, that is till I meet Gwen.

Gwen is a woman who wants to live outside of her dark side but that is not always easy. Being a Harpy can be hard, it also does't help that no one fears her like people fear her sisters. Being the youngest doesn't help too. When she is freed from the hunters she only has one thing on her mind. The man that saved her.

Sabin the holder of Doubt can't seems to keep his eyes for of Gwen. There was something about her. Something that pulls him to her. What he doesn't understand is why Doubt attack she the most. Is she weak?

When Gwen's sisters show up, it is up to Gwen to find her footing with Sabin. Maybe a little training from him would help her control her Harpy.

Over all, this book beings in a whole new side to the series. I don't want to get into it too much you'll just have to read it!!

P.S. The sisters are also awesome!

The Darkest Prison By: Gena Showalter

The Darkest Prison (Lords of the Underworld, #3.5)The Darkest Prison by Gena Showalter
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This story takes place in between book 3 and 4, and can be found in "Into the Dark"

So what happens when two Gods from different backgrounds are bound together out of lust! This story happens!

Atlas, the Titan God of Strength was the Greek Goddess Nike's slave. (Nike is the Greek Goddess of Strength) What happens when the tables are turn and its Atlas's turn to be in the lead?

With Nike now under Atlas control will she give into him after the pain he left her with the first time.

Again I love short stories that add to a really good plot already. It was a sweet story over all.

View all my reviews

The Darkest Pleasure By: Gena Showalter

The Darkest Pleasure (Lords of the Underworld,  #3)The Darkest Pleasure by Gena Showalter
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Book 3 (WOOT!) of the Lords of the Underworld series.

Danika Ford and her family where first seen in Book 1 but now Danika is back. Is she yet another key in helping find the box? She is a woman on the ran but all she knows is that the Gods want her dead. With her side-kick Gilly they try to figure things out.

Reyes hasn't been able to stop thinking about Danika. He must find her before Aeron can. With little time to lose he makes his way to her. Only to find that that warmth he felt every time she was around before is hotter. What is a man to do when he can't feel pleasure without pain? Being bound by the high Demon Lord of pain isn't going to make this relationship any easier.

There is a lot of side tracking in this book but it brings a lot of things together in the end. I will not go into you'll just have to read it.

Over all, slow start but boy is the ending great.
