The Darkest Seduction by Gena Showalter
5.0
I have been waiting for Paris' book for a long time. It didn't disappointment in the slightest. I read a lot of reviews about how the relationship between Sienna and Paris seemed 'forced', but I actually really liked how natural they seemed together. It's a romance novel, folks. People don't fall in love and want to be married/mated/bonded to each other in a few weeks' time. I read romance novels to suspend belief and enjoy the...well...romance of it all. A few of Gena's couples seemed forced to me, but I think it's because I just never really cared for the females. Gena hasn't always done a very good job writing her female characters, so despite what Sienna was, I actually really liked her. She had her flaws, but so does everyone, but she was still a head strong female who didn't let the big tough 'hero' fight her battles for her. She held her own, and I think she fit Paris very well. I was surprised at the ending book, that Gena went there in that respect, but I'm interested to see where she goes from here. At least I hope she continues the series so that Torin, Kane, and Cameo can finally have their stories. The only person's background that I want finally answered is William's. I'm not particular if he has his own book, just that Gena finally reveals his true self. (I have a theory that he is the angels' One True Deity.)
Personally, I loved this book. I think it's writing was far superior to her others, but I think it's because she made it bigger and allowed herself to actually expand on the story and not try to fit all this plot into 300 pages. I'm interested to see where she goes with her new angels series. I have a feeling that Kane's story will be intertwined with one of the angels', so perhaps we'll get his book through that. Only time will tell.
