Publisher's summary

His powers - inhuman; His passion - beyond immortal. All her life, Ashlyn Darrow has been tormented by voices from the past. To end the nightmare, she has come to Budapest seeking help from men rumored to have supernatural abilities, not knowing she'll be swept into the arms of Maddox, their most dangerous member - a man trapped in a hell of his own. Neither can resist the instant hunger that calms their torments...and ignites an irresistible passion. But every heated touch and burning kiss will edge them closer to destruction - and a soul-shattering test of love.
Don't miss the other books in the Lords of the Underworld series.

listening better than reading

I have read this first book of Showalters years ago and found it hard to follow and all the characters hard to keep in mind. I gave the audible version a try since I'm curious about the other hunks stories and main story too. Somehow listening, by a very decent voice actor, made the picture much clearer. Thank you for making this available and I will be listening to more of this series.

Love this series! Have listened multiple times.

Because of this series, Gena Showalter is a must read for me. Damaged alpha males, romantic story lines, humor and lots of action. I am a happy listener.

It was a cool story, at times it was really hard to know which character was speaking and/or thinking! I just a got really confusing.
which is why I only gave 3 stars
