"The Darkest Passion" is full of surprises. Of course, is the relationship between Aeron and Olivia in the foreground - and Aeron is still sturerer Lord than any other ever before, but many other things are still focused.
The hunters are more dangerous than ever, especially since they now get even special help from "above". Your plans seem more and more to be working, Galen everything seems to succeed where he tackles. The Lords are tortured, fought and tortured. Legion, Aerons little demon, attacks out of desperation to take drastic measures and do not notice what she has done so. It kindled a real cat fight between her and Olivia. Aeron, torn between the two, does not want to admit even here a long time, as it appears to Olivia. And that often leads to complications.
Towards the end it is again really sad - and I mean really sad. I have in any other part previously suffered so much as in this. I still have so much hatred felt in any other part like this.
And at least now I know why Cronus is the way he is. Even he has a little secret.
The dialogues are partly to shoot funny, especially the conversation between Olivia and Gideon. Meanwhile, I've created my own list with quotes from this part, because it's just too many.
It immerse new enemies (unfortunately - now there are just too many) and also new allies on. Also you get information about the remaining two artefacts, what the hair also scuffling.
Even Ashlyn and Maddox's little secret gets a new twist, which I do not of course tell.
In conclusion, I can only say - Oh no I do not think that I write - that "The Darkest Passion" or "Black Passion" is the best so far, most exciting and most emotional part of the Lords of the Underworld series. Although I have not read the book in English only and not 100% understood everything, so I will buy myself the German version. Nevertheless me the story from beginning to end has seized in its spell. Meanwhile, I do not even know more who I should hate more. Legion, Cronus, Galen? Lucifer? Or maybe all together? I dont know. What I do know is I will not hesitate to begin the next part first thing tomorrow. Because I want to know what happens next, now after all - but also has changed everything.
In any case applies here: handkerchiefs keep ready! At least if you have already read the previous parts.
