Lucien’s Story

www.read-that.com book review

Lucien is possessed by the demon of Death. Ever since the Warriors for the Heavens stole and opened Pandora’s Box, the Gods felt the rightful punishment to be was to house the demons the warriors let out. Lucien, along with 11 other warriors received this punishment along with being sent to the earth to live among humans but they’re still immortal.

The Hunters are a group of people that think if the Lords and their demons inside them weren’t alive, then there wouldn’t be disease, death, violence, wrath, among others. Their ideas are based on those they loved and lost to these things from free will not from the Lords. After killing one Lord already, they realized that they cannot kill the demon, it only runs amok and reeks havoc in it wake. Now they try to capture the Lords and contain them until they figure out a way to extract and contain their demons. Since it has been centuries since the Gods condemned them, the hosts cannot live alone. The demon would survive but the man wouldn’t.

Lucien was given a task by the Titan God, Cronus. He was sent to kill the Goddess of Anarchy, Anya. Anya is chaos in a word. She’s beautiful and out to find a way to be happy and have fun. When she gets bored, chaos reins. It seems that Cronus thinks that she’s too much a liability and wants rid of her. Or is that the real reason? Lucien didn’t want his friends to suffer for something he was responsible for, so he was off to kill her. She wasn’t easy to catch or contain and he soon felt a strong attraction for her but couldn’t sacrifice those he loved. While trying to outsmart the gods and also find the artifacts needed to find Pandora’s Box, Lucien is over his head. He might be a warrior but none of his weapons or training taught him how to deal with love.

What a rush. I have so enjoyed this series that I will have to read them again soon. This whole storyline is right up my ally. I love having separate books for each of the warriors and not leaving out the other characters. There is a great plot throughout and surprises along the way. It’s humorous to see these tough as nails warriors being reduced to putty in their woman’s hands or mouth. There is sex but not too much. I think that Showalter has the perfect amount in her writing skills. Definite Kudos to the author. Great Read
