Gena Showalter’s Seduce the Darkness- I have A New Fantasy Crush
13 Jul, 2009 in All Reviews 10 CommentsI have been waiting for this book to come out foreva since her Lords of Underworld series. I was beyond excited to see this book came out a day earlier then it’s release today ( did a mini jump with a hooray fist-pump in the air for all of Barnes and Noble). Gena Showalter’s Alien Huntress series truly just keep’s getting better and better. Devyn is the rakish King from Enslave Me Sweetly, and is a bit of a male slut, which just makes me want him more. Naughty bad boys, gimme sum, sum! Enter Bride, a female vampire the only one of her kind, abandoned at a young age and left to fend for herself without any knowledge of how her species survives. After searching for her friend she run’s into none other than our roguish bad boy Devyn.
I finished this book in less than a day and liked it so much that I re-read it again. Normally I’m not drawn to male lothario’s, but Showalter does a terrific job of creating a charming, albeit, a bit ho’ish male character. Devyn has some of the best lines that I’ve read in a long time! It’s not often that I find myself wanting to befriend a fictional character, but you just can’t help yourself. Devyn is just so much fun! I found myself grinning and laughing out loud at his outrageous comments while secretly developing a tiny fantasy crush.

Seduce The Darkness - Gena Showalter
Favorite Quote:
“You’re scary you know that?” Dallas said with quiet affection.
“I know. It’s hardly fair to others that I’m a triple threat. Pretty and talented.” (Devyn)
“That’s two moron.” (Dallas)
“I thought it’d be rude to mention my cock.” (Devyn)
Favorite Scene:
Underground vampire lair. Who wouldn’t fall in love with a man that battled childhood fears to go underground for the woman he loves? Sigh.
P.S. Is to too much to ask to look like a Rakan, skin the color of gold… sign me up!

I totally agree. I loved this book and I just couldn’t get enough of Devyn. I totally adore his witty attitude. And he’s hot, you know he mentioned that a few times.
Great Book.
So glad you liked it too!
Oh, I loved the quote, it pretty much nails Devyn’s personality. And your right, there was so many good ones in this book. I really did enjoy this book. I need to go back and get the back list on this series. Gena makes the aliens in this books so sexy, like it’s better to be other world than Earth.
Totally agree so many good quotes it was hard to find the right one. My 2nd fav book in this series is Enslave Me Sweetly, where Devyn (my fantasy husband) is first introduced.
Ugh..I haven’t read Gena Showalter yet…I really need to start!!! Your review makes me want to move her up my tbr pile now!
If you like Kresley Cole I think you’ll like Gena Showalter, I think they were twins seperated at birth. Hopefully you’ll get a chance to read her, *sigh* although not enough hours in a day to fit in all these awesome books.
Best quote EVAH!!! lol
Love the quote too *g* And oh yay, I already have 2 of these books in my tbr pile!
@Fiction Viven he’s so dreamy
@Stacy honestly this is one of Showalter’s best character books. I was snorting the entire way through
