The Darkest Night: Lords Of The Underworld #1

This series is adult with a capital A. Don't give this to a fourteen year old as a gift. Don't give it to your mother either. Keep it in the guilty pleasures and midnight binges box that's underneath your bed.Showalter's narrative style isn't great. Her writing is flowery and saccharine – which is jarring considering the dark and violent events that transpire. Be warned: There's almost as much blood spilt in this series as there was during the Red Wedding. (#toosoon #RIPRobb #peoplewhohasthagaredouchebags) You might find it difficult to digest the Tarantino-esque murder sprees in the books, but there is something intriguing about the darkness of this world.This is also a fresh take on the paranormal genre – instead of vamps, tramps and wolves; this series is about Greek gods and demons. It's not for everyone, but if you've run out of options, this is a decent series to sink your teeth (HA) into.
