The Darkest Seduction - the most disappointing LOTU book (if you don't count Zacharel's spin-off)

LOL-no way-Strider's book was the biggest disappointment! Torture to get thru-I enjoyed Paris's and Sienna's book. Albeit there was a alot of whining on both their parts in it!!! Ugh(eyeroll)!

While Paris's book isn't my fav, I do agree I thought it was way better than Strider's.

Truly? I'm honored to share a name with Torin's special lady :) And I agree...so glad he's not being paired with Viola.

Overall, totally loved this book. I like Paris and Sienna together and I love that she becomes a power house at the end of the book, though I'm expecting some of those deals she made to come back to bite her. Not a fan of the way the wind is blowing in regards to William and Gilly, however.

I bet reading the scenes with her will be a lot of fun for you, Keely. No need to insert a different name. Hahahaha!

I think making Sienna queen of Titans was kinda overrated. Personally, I think it should have been Scarlet.

At least I like Kaia. I felt like strangling Sierra throughout the book.

LMAO! I can agree with that about Sienna too Priya, but then again, I usually feel that way when it comes to PNR in general. Everyone, males and females alike, are weepy when they are in love and they think the other person deserves something better or just blatantly doesn't want them to start with! Ahhhhh romance!!!! Such a pain, but so worth it in the end when that HEA comes!!

LMAO

Well, I wouldn't mind a surprise and no HEA at the end but I guess this would disapponint many readers.

Btw, am I the only one who's already missing Budapest?

I am missing Budapest so much

You are not alone!!! It's been so long it seems!

Striders book was a disappointment for me. In my mind it didn't happen.
I never read a book with no HEA always wanted to.

^THIS!!!

I finished this one today, and I really enjoyed it! Yeah, it's not a perfect book, but it was fun. I didn't have great expectations since I didn't enjoy the two previous book, but this one made me excited about the series again.

Sienna`s sister did n`t die, she was kidnapped . And I agree with you there might be a connection . I just need to fish the book to see what it is .

I thought Siena's sister did die. She was kidnapped. Then died. Let me dig my book out. I could be thinking of a different character from a "dream" sequence type thing. Argh. We need to diagram this. Lol.

Sienna's sister, Skye, was kidnapped and she did die. She was killed by Cronus in front of Rhea in Darkest Seduction.

I`m still reading the book , but I think Cronus would do it . Let me get back to you after I finish the book .

Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to spoil it for you. I thought you were commenting after having read it.

Oh , don`t worry dear . I like to know coming events ..
and so you would know I read any spoiler I found .

LOL, I'm the same way. I love spoilers. I like to know if have to brace myself.

OH, MY GOD, it was great . The best in the whole series . I was happy that Cronus died , and his wife .

Yes, Cronus and Rhea got what they deserved.

Now, did you understand why Paris' demon was all of a sudden OK with being faithful to Sienna and trying this relationship thing? I'm still confused about that. Is it because she's Queen now and super powerful and he doesn't want to tick her off? I think I remember Paris saying something about the multiple facets to Sienna's personality but that just doesn't make sense to me. Thoughts??

Yeah I didn't understand that either Lulu. The reasoning was too convoluted and little bit forced for me. The demon of promiscuity since the very beginning of this series was presented as this non-discriminate demon who wanted its way with anyone no matter what. So to go from that to accepting Sienna and wanting to be only faithful to Sienna abruptly at the end just didn't ring true for me. Paris himself seemed surprised and a little confused by it too. While it wasn't the main obstacle, his demon played a major role in the angst and conflict between Paris and Sienna throughout the story and pretty much through the entire series. So yeah...the end result was a little too neat and tidy for me.

Melody wrote: "While it wasn't the main obstacle, his demon played a major role in the angst and conflict between Paris and Sienna throughout the story and pretty much through the entire series. So yeah...the end result was a little too neat and tidy for me."

Exactly. He's got the demon of Promescuity and said demon is all of a sudden OK with trying "this relationship thing"?

In the earlier books, it made sense pretty much how the other women tamed the demons inside their guys. Ashlyn charmed Violence, Anya charmed Death, Gwen terrified Doubt and made him doubt himself (which I thought was the best!), etc., so I thought there should have been something more concrete.

Now, could be that Gena has a bigger, broader message about conquering your demons and vices within yourself (and with the help of a good woman) which I've thought was maybe the underlying message of the LOTU. So . . . once Paris decided on Sienna and realized he loved her and wanted to be faithful, then the demon of Promescuity was defeated so to speak.

Hi girls , about Paris`s demon , I thought pairs had convince the demon that they should be faithful to Sienna . Remember when he argued with the demon telling him they should only want Sienna because she has (multiple facets to Sienna's personality)like you said , in that time the demon agreed with Paris although reluctant to let the other women go , saying they should (get her often) . I thought that was kinda clear . And since he knew Paris would never have another one but Sienna he has to jump on board or Paris will let himself fade and die .

I think Paris had a strong desire and powerful will that he could do such a thing . In my opinion he is the strongest of the Lords , it take a lot of will power to subdue his demon .

Lulu you said [ could be that Gena has a bigger, broader message about conquering your demons and vices within yourself (and with the help of a good woman) which I've thought was maybe the underlying message of the LOTU.

I think Paris did convince the demon but it seems a stetch for Promescuity to go along with it so easily, though he did push back by forcing Paris to be aroused around Kaia and Viola when he didn't want to be. Still, overall I'm kind of liking my theory that it was always up to Paris to defeat (or control) the demon and when he truly fell in love, controlling that demon became easy.

I think Gena just could have maybe made that more clear (if that is the case). Maybe somebody should ask her . . . I tend to need things made crystal clear lol.

LoL, me to , so you would never make a wrong assumption . And by the way I kinda like your theory too , it`s a good one .

I thought his demon fell in love with Sienna. The different facets to me meant that she had so many facets that she would always satisfy him. That and the fact that Paris was set on her convinced the demon. I think something about her intrigued him from the first time they met her.
