The Darkest Secret by Gena Showalter

5.0

So, don't ask me which is my favourite, because I REALLY can't pick anymore. This one gives more into other characters than just Amun and little Haidee, the demon slay-ah. Seriously. Her powers are sickly cool. I didn't see any of her tricks coming. Probably should of as it made sense who the demon ended up being that killed everyone. I found it so lovely that their lives were so intertwined. My heart broke in the final battle scene, and then again at Amuns 'last dinner' with his words to Strider.

I'm not going to lie. strider is a wank. He thinks he's top shit, and it's not defeat that will be his downfall it's his over confidence in himself. He's always going on about how people love him and want him, but he does nothing to make that possible.

He's rude and cruel and yet people are nice to him because they don't want him to experience the pain when he's defeated, but really, they all walk on eggshells for him and he prances around and accuses everyone of being cruel and giving him challenges when they're forever trying NOT to. Kaia will put him in his place, and for that I'm thankful. Because he's such a wank I want to hit him up the head. He's probably the only lord I don't like, even Paris isn't that bad, and he KNOWS he can get anyone into bed. Eh. He makes my brain bleed.

Anywhoooo. This one is all happy, happy, sad, happy, happy, miserable, depressing, kill me, I'm dead. And YAY for a girl not being delicate and looking like every other girl ever - minus Gwen but that was just her skin- this chicka has blonde and pink hair and one arm that's a whole sleeve and more tattoos on her back! And with that, I'm happy.
