The Darkest Secret by Gena Showalter
5.0
What can I say?
I think Gena totally went “See, I told you I could redeem myself after the last few okay LOTU books.” I have to say that the whole story drew me from page one. I was sucked into the vortex of twists, turns, and things I totally didn’t expect. For one when I first heard that Haddie was Amun’s woman, I was like how does that even make sense? Strider was all over her goodies. Then Gena did something I totally didn’t expect. She gave me true love in the truest and proper form. She handed the idea that they died within one another’s blood as the idea that they were in fact soulmates, that no matter what they would be forever bound; and unconditional love was the underlying theme.
I loved Haddie, I thought for sure I would want to chew her up and spit her out. But she was vulnerable! she was so vulnerable she came alive for me. I cried for her, I shouted when she died I was so in need of Haddie having a good ending that I was tempted to cheat and peak, I didn’t, but I was so very tempted.
Amun gave me a man that was tortured but he accepted that inner torture. He didn’t piss and moan about it, it was a part of him and it made him a stronger man in the process. The story was fantastic; it is officially my new favorite Lords book in the series. I still say Torin is my fav, but it might be hard to beat this book for me!
