"To Part is to Die"

-Gideon & Scarlet
***
"The Darkest Lie" is the 6:th instalment in the "Lords of the Underworld" series that only gets better with each book.Gena Showalter`s vivid fantasy world are addictive,mind-fuzzing and overwhelming with its charismatic characters,action scenes,humor and sensual romance that leaves you wanting for more.In this book Gideon who is possessed by the demon of Lies wants to possess the beautiful woman who claims herself to be his long-lost wife.A wife he clearly doesn`t remember ever meeting and a wife who also clearly hates him.

Scarlet is the daughter of goddess Rhea who is possessed by the demon of Nightmares.For decades she has strived to go past the horrible tragedy of her past.I felt for her sorrow and my heart just broke for what she had to endure.She is very hot-tempered and has very powerful gift of using her Nightmares when she is strongest at her sleep.That was how Sabin captured her in the early book.But some part of me felt that she let herself be too easily captured and i understood too easily why when she told Gideon to come to her in his dreams.I thought her a very badass,strong and courageous heroine who loved Gideon with every breath she took.She handled his lies well and equaled him both in strength and passion.I am so happy for her finally finding Gideon and having her deserved happy ever after!

Gideon, a blue-haired warrior possessed by the demon of Lies can`t ever tell a single truth without suffering for it.He stole my attention already from the first book and i thought him so alluring,sexy and gorgeous by his ways of thinking,his sarcastic humor and his skills as a warrior and lover.Scarlet quickly overtakes his mind,heart and soul.It was beautiful watching him falling in love with her and romancing her.Damn he made my mouth water of his sexiness!!!I can`t imagine having to tell lies every single time.Every time he meant "i love you" he had to say "i hate you" or his meaning for darling or angel had to be "devil".But the moment he truthfully confessed to loving her and suffering painfully for it made me shed tears.God i love this man!!!!And i find Scarlet a wonderful heroine for him,these two together both in bed and out of it are perfection!!!

I am so getting myself ready for Amun`s book now cuz this man NEEDS a woman!He is in so much pain now that my heart is breaking for him!!!I am also excited that it will be Haidee who will be his heroine who seems to really hate these guys and even killed their friend Baden decades before.And Galen is getting crazier and i am the only one who knows its because of Legion,hihi.Torin is calling to my heart,damn he is one love-starved warrior and i can`t wait for his mate to appear.I wonder if Paris will find that his mate Sienna is alive anytime soon,damn i feel for his grief so badly.I actually found King Cronus a lot of fun in this book,despite him actually being a devious psycho villian.Oh wow i really am badly invested in these series!This book is defenitely another favourite of mine.
