“He is the keeper of Doubt and his entire world’s about to be rocked.
Bound by the demon of doubt, Sabin unintentionally destroys even the most confident of lovers. So the immortal warrior spends his time on the battlefield instead of the bedroom, victory his only concern…until he meets Gwendolyn the Timid. One taste of the beautiful redhead, and he craves more.
Gwen, an immortal herself, always thought she’d fall for a kind human who wouldn’t rouse her darker side. But when Sabin frees her from prison, battling their enemies for the claim to Pandora’s box turns out to be nothing compared to the battle Sabin and Gwen will wage against love…”

The Darkest Whisper (Lords of the Underworld) |
It is just getting harder and harder to talk about each of these books without spoiling anything lol it’s one of the reasons I usually do a Series Review post sometimes =) but I decided to give it a try with this series hehe
Sabin is the Keeper of Doubt and though he is an interesting character, being the leader of the second faction of Lords that has been separate from our original ones for a few millennia, he was never one my favorites to get his HEA.
After The Darkest Whisper, he is still not my favorite, I am still dying for Paris’ and Torin’s HEA, but I do like Sabin and I did enjoy his story. However, the biggest appeal was with his counter part, which was a huge surprise and made for a great read.
Gwen is a Harpy and we meet her when the Lords save her and other immortal females from imprisonment and abuse by the Hunters. It was great to get to know such a different race full of history and very interesting customs and beliefs.
Sabin is a leader and a warrior through and through, his biggest goal in life is winning this war and he will do anything to get it. Gwen is known by her family and friends as Gwen the Timid and has her whole life felt like she was inferior and weaker than any one of her sister, until the day she meets Sabin and through their acquaintance, and because Sabin sees in her Harpy powers and great weapon to win the war, she learns that she is much stronger than she believed possible.
As much as Sabin was never my favorite, him and Gwen together definitely sizzled my computer screen and worked out great in my opinion. As she felt more comfortable with being herself, she became more and more a strong, determined and powerful woman with a great sense of humor, a character that you couldn’t help but get behind a hundred percent .
I loved the plot in this book, secrets being reveled, a lot of action and a great storyline that just keeps you riveted and obsessed with each page turn. I’m really enjoying the twists and turns that Gena is throwing at us and I just cannot wait to see what come next in The Lords of The Underworld. If you have not read this series yet, what the hell are you waiting for?

I also can't wait for Paris' book! Every time I read about him now he just breaks my heart. I thought it was sweet of Sabin when he wanted to kiss Gwen's wings after he tied her up. I got an ARC of The Darkest Passion and I excited to start reading it

That was really sweet, though i hated that he tied it up in the first place hehe
oh Paris...
OMG Im almost done with Passion right now!!! I putting up my review this friday! cant wait to see what you think =)
Well, I need the books to start it, so I guess that is the only thing stopping me from starting this series. You are making it harder and harder with these reviews, however. More for the wish list... :)
I think I need to start this series. I keep saying I have to, but then well I have a ton of other stuff on my TBR. LOL Great review. ♥ Parajunkee
Finally...my favorite part of blogging-commenting on Larissa's posts :)
I love plots with twists and turns. So this series might just be for me. But one thing,I don't know why people get so worked up over spoilers. Somehow they never spoil the book for me,provided it is a good and interesting read.
I really need to take this book off my bookshelf and read it already! I really can't wait for Paris' book to come out.
When you posted the first review I must say I wasn't all that impressed with this series, but I'm starting to get doubts and thinking I should give them a try.
@Melissa
The wish list is bursting isnt it?? LMAO
@Parajunkee
I so know what you mean!! Getting the ARC for the new book really pushed me to read the series =)
