SPOILERS AHEADMy problem with this book was its length, there was way too much going on, so much so that I wanted the book to end already, I had enough of the drama. This is less of a review more of a recap, to serve a purpose for me, help me remember the developments because PNR series tend to get so complicated.We know that Aeron the keeper of Wrath was chained by Reyes when he gave into bloodlust and was given a task by Cronus, kill Danika and her family. It was then that he met the female demon minion Legion and got her with him, treating her as his daughter, something for which he had always yearned for. Paris sacrificed Sienna to save Aeron and since then Aeron has been trying to cheer him up, finding females for him, something the sex demon needs. Honestly, I am tired of Pariss whining already, all he does is be sad and drink.When he brought Legion with him he broke heavenly law and Olivia formerly a joy giver angel and newly promoted Warrior was given the task of killing him, something she couldnt bring herself to do, instead she observed him and toyed with the idea of falling so that she could experience fun, joy. Her mentor Lysander (of the Elite Seven and Biankas consort), warns her what would happen if she fell, she would be in hell at the mercy of demons and would lose her immortality but she still falls and when she meets Aeron she is hysterical, her mind filled with images of demons attacking and molesting her and her body bloody. Olivia comes across as very gentle at first, she has led a sheltered life but soon she does become a more stronger and confident person. She knows Aeron has only fourteen days to live, Lysander told her she can return to heaven or someone else will kill Aeron and she wants to experience life with him. At this point of time she doesnt love him and even ponders on this and comes to the conclusion she wont give up her life for him.I had a hard time with Aeron, he wasnt very nice at first to Olivia, even though he knew she fell for him, he is very confident that she could not have possibly killed him. He is someone quite isolated that wants to take care of friends and cant comprehend how humans can enjoy their so short life, which he later himself experiences. He is happy taking care of Legion and Paris, he doesnt need another person to care for but Olivia is not taking no for an answer and helping her is Camero and Kaia.Other developments, a bunch of them find the Unspoken Ones who are butt ugly and know where the artifacts are and pit Galen and the others to see who will kill Cronus for them. Galen on the other hand is evil as ever, managing to find the invisibility cloak (which Olivia later steals from him), and putting the demon of Distrust into one of his female soldiers. More trouble for the Lords come in the form of Scarlet, another demon possessed Titan, who houses nightmares. They learned in earlier books that the imprisoned Titans were forced to house demons and Lysander tells them Cronus has Greed and his enemy wife Rhea, Strife. Rhea is the mother of Scarlet and working with Galen and also gives them poisoned water, used as bullets against the Lords.Gideon is giddy to meet nightmare and Scarlet tells him she is his wife, their book is next so lets see how that goes.Legion, oh my god, I HATED her, she was so damn annoying. She loves Aeron and not as a daughter and when she tries to attack Olivia and is stopped she goes to hell where she meets Lucifer, where she does the most hateful think ever, make a deal with him. He will make her pretty and she has nine days to get Aeron in bed and if she fails Lucifer will possess her body (later she finds out he plans to kill the Lords).I didnt enjoy the romance as much, it felt one-sided will Olivia doing everything, she even gave up her honest voice for him and when Galen was torturing her refused to go back to heaven because she made a promise to Aeron to tell him goodbye.Aerons demon loves Olivia and it takes him a while to give in to her, he wants her to go back and has been warned by Lysander, but when he completely falls for her he learns what Legion has done and has to help her even if it means sleeping with her.Legion was so hateful and I loved it when Olivia told her what love really is, it is making the other person happy, even then she doesnt let the others know Olivia has been taken and when she sees Aeron in agony realizes her folly and goes to kill Galen.Aerons actions in the end kind of made me warm up to him a little, he died for Olivia, knowing full well he could not have betrayed her with Legion and that his death would make Lucifers pact void and give Olivia her wings back. Of course in the after life he meets Baden, who tells him that he allowed himself to be seduced by Haidee and killed because he was tired and Pandora is also there. He of course returns immortal but without his demon because of Olivia. His demon is in Sienna. In the end too everyone is ready to break Legion out of hell because after everything Olivia managed to bring pardon for her.Too goody shoes heroine who sacrifice everything for a hero I am lukewarm too, doesn't work much for me. The book seemed never ending with too much crammed in.

3 Very, Very, Very Low Stars (and that is only because the story is well written)I'll make this review quick and to the point. If I don't, I will do nothing but rant!! I've never been a fan of Aeron and after reading his book, I'm still not, though he did redeem himself at the end. But Legion, Aeron's little demon pet fiend...OMG! I hated her character with such a passion that I almost gave this book 1 star! She completely and utterly ruined this story for me. Even the awesome heroine couldn't save it. This will definitely be one book in the series I will NEVER read again. Well, I guess I didn't quite achieve the "no ranting" part.

It's so hard for me to rate this book beacuse I liked it a lot and it was so much better than a few of its predecessors -therefore I think I'm harder on it. I liked Olivia and Aeron and while in some aspects they work as a couple, I just can't shake the uneasy feeling I have. Olivia is so plain and it's such a shame because I think she could've been written so much better. Like I've said before: there's so little development when it comes to these women. It's sad and kinda insulting. That's the only negative thing I have to say about this book, and the series as a whole. There were a lot of things going on in this book and so much drama. I loved it.

http://shamelessromancereviews.blogsp...BEST YET! LOVED IT FAN-FRIGGIN-TASTIC!!FIVE STARS!!!! First things first, the cover -HOT Gotta love a guy with a back like that,I cant tell you how many times my husband must walk in on me with a little bit of drool hanging from my mouth in an almost catatonic state while I have been thinking about these men! Plus Aeron has tattoos and I myself am a lover of Tats.So how does a man possessed by a demon, literally covered in tats, oh AND has wings *drool* - wind up being involved with an honest to the word Angel? Well you will just have to read it to find out wont you!So to go on without revealing anything I can say that the action was great, the romance was phenomenal and the intertwined story lines are getting deeper and deeper - Paris especially. By far the best LOTU book to date!Lies book is next so I don't really know if Im going to be able to handle a whole book of Gideon language.

Angelic being, Olivia, has been watching the Lords of the Underworld for some time now- one particular Lord to be specific- Aeron the keeper of the demon of Wrath. When Aeron gets into trouble with the Angelic council for aiding anther lessor demon and releasing her into the world, Olivia has no chance to save him- unless she falls. Making the ultimate sacrifice, she leaves her heavenly home and joins Aeron on earth as a mere mortal- well, a significantly diminished angel anyway. Aeron is instantly drawn to the ethereal woman that crawls her way to the Lords doorstep one day, but he wants nothing to do with her and is determined to be rid of her. He has no choice, because no woman is safe around the demon he keeps inside of himself to protect the world only the demon is strangely soothed by Olivia.But things get even more complicated when the little demon hes begun to think of as a daughter makes a pact with Lucifer to win the man she loves with a very adult passion. Meanwhile the Lords continue to seek out the powerful artifacts that will destroy their arch nemesis and send him to hell once and for all while walking a tightrope between the aid they need from the capricious gods and keeping them at a safe distance.Will Aeron and Olivia submit to the passion brewing between them like both so desperately want or will both commit the ultimate sacrifice to save each other from destruction?Okay, a lot going on in this novel and to be honest it served as a major distraction from the potential for a passionate romance between Aeron and Olivia. There was so much going on I simply couldnt get to know the h/h like I need to for me to really fall for book. Much of how Olivia fell in love with Aaron was relegated to back story- she watched him from the heavens for quite some time before she fell to be with him, and that we didnt see, but were told about it. Still, the other stuff going on was important for the over arching story- so I cant completely fault Showalter for wanting it in. (How this book ends is actually very important to other characters coming up!) I just wish we could have had more depth from Aeron & Olivia.Oh and another thing that *really* bugged me, was Aerons little demon friend Legion. She was mean and spiteful and not likable at all I know, I know, shes a demon, Zeek, its in her nature, but it just made me wonder why Aeron preferred her all the time? I simply didnt get it and in the end she just annoyed the crap out of me. ::shrug::So, whereas Im decidedly less than enthusiastic about this entry into the Lords of the Underworld series, it is important to the totality of it and shouldnt be missed.
