Publisher's summary

The Lords of the Underworld return in this enthralling tale of an immortal warrior determined to win and the beautiful seductress he can’t resist.

Possessed by the demon of Defeat, Strider cannot lose a challenge without suffering unimaginable pain. For him, nothing stands in the way of victory. Until Kaia, an enchanting Harpy, tempts him to the razor’s edge of surrender.

Known among her people as The Disappointment, Kaia must bring home the gold in the Harpy Games or die. Strider is a distraction she can’t afford, because he has an agenda of his own - steal first prize, an ancient godly artifact, before the winner can be named. But as the competition heats up, only one prize will matter - the love neither had thought possible.

Get this guy some water...

The mouth sounds! Ugh. The narrator has too much fluid in his mouth at some points and not enough the rest. I don't like the sound of mouth noises. It distracts from the story. Please find a different narrator for the rest of the series.

A Must Read!

Fantastic like all of the books in this series. I wish this reader would lend his voice to other paranormal books. His deep voice is exceptional.

I enjoyed this one because lots of action

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

I recommend reading the series from the beginning and I do recommend all of them thus far

What was one of the most memorable moments of The Darkest Surrender?

When Strider and Legion have their final confrontation. It really surprised me.

What about Max Bellmore’s performance did you like?

I think Max Ballmore does a wonderful job with this series, and you always know which character is speaking

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

Actually two first when Kaia fights her mother. Then when Kaia has her show down with Juliet.

Any additional comments?

I love that in between you have small snippets of other story lines like what Paris is up to and trying to do in maybe 4 chapters, also 3 chapters about William. You know up coming books will be about these characters.

surprising and intriguing

lords of the underworld are surprisingly good books. there attention grabbing and each uniquely interesting and different. rate this series right up there with my all time favorites being sherrilyn kenyon "darkhunters" and kresley cole "immortals after dark". so in my opinion that's a pretty high praise.

Awesome!

One of the best in the series yet. Max Bellmore's performance is amazing. The story line was great. It wasn't overly sexual. It actually has an excellent plot with great subplots leading into the next books. I don't think I will ever get enough of the Lords. Hello movie exects! This series would be a great movie!
