[The Darkest Surrender] (By: Gena Showalter) [published: September, 2011]

In the eighth book of Lords of the Underworld, we meet more Strider and Kaia. I've been looking forward to this book for a while and I wasn't disappointed. Strider is more stubborn than he thought, but Kaia managed to get around that, which made me love her. They had a lot of chemistry and it was amazing to see them get their happy ending. The plot was also important for the series as a whole. We finally know the fourth artifact and what it is capable of. In addition to meeting Lazarus, a character who seems to be important upfront. I'm still curious to know what happened to Rhea and Galen, as it's all very suspicious. I loved seeing more of the harpy world, and I'm sure this one will be explored even more. I was happy that Kane gained a significant share in this book, even with the rather tragic ending. There are 3 more books before him, so I think he's still going to suffer a little,  poor guy. William stealing the show whenever possible, I want to know more about all this mess about his family and what he created. I think this is going to tie in with Kane's story so I can't wait. It's impossible not to look forward to Paris's book, finally, his and Sienna's time has come, after so much suffering I'll be able to see this happy ending. Reading, fun and completely satisfying. Gena Shoalwater will not disappoint.
