“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.…”

This is the second book in Gena Showalter’s Lords Of The Underworld series and it does not disappoint. Lucien and Anya are perfectly matched to go up against each other and the sparks were flying right off the get-go. Ms. Showalter is a master of fusing fun, passion, danger, mystery, the forbidden and the paranormal all into a grand adventure and love story. The search for Pandora’s box continues as well as for some ancient relics that may help “The Lords” find it. Several other characters’ story-lines are developed while taking us through Lucien and Anya’s story, and I for one, am definitely hooked. This series is evolving into one that I hope will last for several more novels!
