The Darkest King

Written by Gena Showalter

Narrated by Max Bellmore

To become a king of the underworld at long last, William must resist an irresistible beauty—or a curse will ensure his end…

A merciless prince feared by all…

Cursed by a vengeful witch, William of the Dark will die if he ever falls in love—murdered by the woman who steals his heart. His lone shot at redemption is a book filled with indecipherable code. Break the code, break the curse. Now, centuries later, he’s condemned to a string of one-night stands…until he finds the only woman in the worlds able to set him free.

A rare creature of myth and power…

One of the last living unicorn shifters, Sunday “Sunny” Lane works from the shadows as a cryptanalyst, on the run from assassins and poachers. Then the darkly seductive William abducts her, holding her captive in Hell. The closer they get, the more she hungers for his touch…and the stronger a mystical desire to kill him becomes…

But which desire will prove stronger—lust or death? And who will give in first?

[NNEAMAKA PAYNE · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

The big bad wolf huffed and puffed and blew her panties down!

Another fabulous book by Gena Showalter!!!! The darkest king was everything that I wanted and waited for!! For years I've read her Dark Lords of the Underworld and William has captured my attention from the beginning! William is one of the most self-absorbed, self-loving blows your own horn guys who thinks that he's every woman's dream and boy is he right about that. So, when gena announced last year that darkest king would be big Wily's book I was excited but at the same time a little unsure. When gena hooked Gillian up with puck instead of him I was secretly glad I loved their relationship, but I didn't see her as his fated mate. William needed someone who's ego was strong enough to deal with such a self-absorbed and over the top character like our panty wetter and she had to be not only strong but a little bad assed and able to get it for that and I think Sunny Lane was just what he needed! Beautiful but deadly! I loved her so much! Not only is she beautiful and smart and hilarious she's A fucking unicorn how cool is that!!! Together their unstoppable and the chemistry and hot steamy sex between these two was kindle melting worthy!!! We finally found out a some more about Williams past like how he and Hades and Lucifer came to be and more on his brother Axel a member of the sent ones. Loads of action with plenty of twists and unexpected happenings with a great storyline that continues all these years later to hold my attention and keeps me hooked needing more. The lords and their ladies made appearances and one of my favorite characters Rathbone shape shifters and one of the kings from hell and all around hot as fuck bad boys made his way into William's book and i can't wait to see the woman that tames this sexy beastie!!! I got a feeling that his time is coming soon. Until next time Luv's loves.
