A review by dragontalon
The Darkest King by Gena Showalter

3.0

Well... this was definitely different. Very different. I have read a few of Showalter’s books so I was not too surprised. So Sunny was cool at first, then she kinda had an array of personalities. It was alright but I was not too impressed. She gave in a little easily when she knew nothing about her captor except she wanted him. I mean, your species was slaughtered but lets not worry about it so you can rail William? Ok. Loved her “punishments”.... at first. And thought they were funny. Then they just got childish.

William was ok. I am not into domination so the scenes were just a little much when I was actually interested in plot. He a typical “hard ass” then melted when around her. When in reality he was a softy all the time, telling Hades he loved him? Not really what I expected from a prince of darkness. Overall he was pretty cool. Didn’t take shit.

The plot was pretty well developed but had many holes. Nothing happened suddenly or without build! I honestly really loved how the immortals were all humanized! They all had weaknesses, love interests and ideas. They werent just all knowing and all powerful all the time. They had risks and fears.

I felt bad Sable just.... vanished. Sunny became a Queen of Hell but she was not too worried while shacking up with the Prince.
