The Darkest Secret (Lords of the Underworld #7) by Gena Showalter

The Darkest Secret (Gena Showalter)

SUMMARY

Keeper of the demon of Secrets, Amun can manipulate the darkest thoughts of anyone nearby. But when the immortal warrior is chained and isolated to protect those he loves, death is his only hope of release—until he meets Haidee, a fellow prisoner whose beauty and hidden vulnerability draw him into a reckless test of his loyalty.

Haidee is a demon-assassin, raised to despise Amun's kind. Yet how can she hate the man whose touch sets her aflame? But to save him, she must give herself body and soul...and face the wrath of a powerful adversary sworn to destroy her.

MY REVIEW

Amun: Demon of Secrets
Butterfly: on his right calf
His curse: Secrets. His demon absorbs the darkest thoughts and deepest mysteries of anyone nearby. Amun is suffering silently from horrific images, nightmares, deepest darkest thoughts, the memories of anyone that approaches him. He can of course use them against his enemies, but the price to pay is much worst.

Haidee: A demon-assassin. A Hunter; One of the Lords’ worst enemies. She was also a Bait to kill Baden centuries ago. Luckily in this series nothing and no one stays dead forever.
Supernatural ability: A small piece of Hate is buried inside her and it makes her freezing cold all the time. When she dies, she always comes back BUT there is a price to this. She forgets. She is full of tattoos from previous lives which show her the way.

Poor silent Amun… He avoids talking because every time that he talks secrets are exposed and friends are killing each other and wars start and many melodramatic bloody things are happening. As a result he is using sign language.

Aeron and William took Amun into Hell on a rescue mission to save Legion, who is now changed and she is not an ugly demon minion anymore.
Legion is a beautiful demon minion now and deeply ruined after so much time in Hell and in other demons’ retention. She had made a really bad deal and she had to pay.

The problem is that Amun returns in a much worst condition. The silent warrior is back and hundreds of demons are back with him, eating him from inside, destroying his soul.

The Angel warriors are at the Lords’ castle uninvited and they are waiting to kill Amun if nothing changes. Lords are ready to fight and save their best friend.

Deep at the dungeons of Lords’ castle Amun and Haidee meet and Haidee will think that Amun is her long lost boyfriend Micah. They are almost identical. So, she will try to save them both from the ruthless Lords. Amun will find peace for the first time with Haidee. The voices will be silent:

“Only when I’m with you do those things become manageable.”
Wariness fell over her lovely features like a curtain, but she didn’t attack. “Why me?”
“I have no idea.”

And he will want her frantically:

Amun hadn’t had a lover in a very long time, but he hadn’t forgotten the basics, and he’d never been so driven by instinct. Touch, taste, possess, own.

After all the misunderstandings are clear, Amun and Haidee will need to leave for the great mission. They have to go back to Hell and put all these demons back!

If Hadee is ice, Amun is fire. They complete each other. One of the nicest love stories in LOTU’s world.

He gave her what no one else had ever been able to give. A past to cherish. A present to enjoy. A future to anticipate. And he wanted her, too. She knew he did.

Not even Strider could destroy their love and he will lose this challenge. Strider’s turn to fall in love will come in the next book…but his lovestory will start in this book.

What can I say? I loved everything in this book, however I am a huge fan so I am easily pleased ;)
