Blurb
Having endured weeks of torture in the bowels of hell, Kane wants nothing to do with his beautiful rescuer, Josephina Aisling. The half-Fae female threatens to awaken the demon of Disaster inside him—a beast he2527s determined to kill, no matter the price.
Josephina is hunted by a brutal enemy—her royal family—and Kane is her only source of protection. He2527s also the only male to ever set her aflame, and even he succumbs to the heat. But as they navigate the treacherous world of the Fae, they are forced to make a choice: live apart…or die together.
Review
Kane, keeper of Disaster, survived weeks in Hell after brutal torture and rape by
demon minions and even more torture from two of the Horseman of the Apocalypse
who rescued him from the minions. His real rescue came in the form of a
half-fae/half-human blood slave named Josephina.

Both Kane
and Josephina are in very dark places in their lives and they2527re ready to die.
Literally, die. Kane wants to kill Disaster, the horrible demon who lives
inside his body, but to do that, Kane must die, too, which he2527s fine with.
Josephina has been tortured for centuries by her royal Fae family because her
eldest sister, Princess Synda, is a beloved spoiled brat who is never held
accountable for her actions and crimes. Josephina is always punished in Synda2527s
place.

Kane and
Josephina2527s love story blooms gradually and I really enjoyed watching both of
them grow out of their dark shells. Josephina has a hard time trusting people
and that2527s completely understandable after what2527s she2527s suffered. The Fates,
aka the Moirai, prophesized Kane would marry the demon keeper of
Irresponsibility, Synda, or the only female Horseman, White (William2527s
daughter), but he can2527t stand either of those two women. He2527s drawn to
Josephina.

My main
problem with this story is that Kane constantly calls Josephina ‘Tink2527 or
‘Tinker Bell.2527 I absolutely love with guys give their women cutesy pet names
but he called her Tink as her regular name, not a pet name, as though the name Josephina
wasn2527t good enough for him. This is very insulting. Even Josephina told Kane to
stop calling her that, but he wouldn2527t and she started to like the name Tink
after a while and started to call herself that.

Of all the
demon-possessed warriors, Kane seems to have it the hardest with Disaster. With
the other guys, their demons loved their women and it2527s like a threesome-type
relationship. Not in this book. Disaster hates Josephina and will do anything
to kill her.

I soooooo
love the scenes with Cameo and Lazarus stuck in the Paring Rod. Strider
beheaded Lazarus two books ago, but Lazarus is alive and well in spirit-form
inside the Rod. He teams up with Cameo to escape and sparks ignite between
them.

Torin
meets Mari, the one human in the world who is supposedly immune to Torin2527s disease,
but she2527s also Cronus2527s prisoner. Turns out she might not be immune, after all,
and Mari has a very powerful friend who will punish Torin if Mari dies.

I2527m
anxious for William and Gilly2527s story, but I2527m frustrated he2527s acting as her
protector while tomcatting around and trying to keep it from her. Granted, they
aren2527t lovers yet and he2527s free to sleep with whomever he wants (he usually
does), but he shouldn2527t hide his whorish ways from the girl he2527s crushing on.
She deserves to know the truth about his real character and not what he wants
her to know. Gilly is a smart young woman, but she2527s blind when it comes to
William and he2527s taking advantage of that. At the end of the book, however, I
think her eyes are finally open but I doubt it will stay that way.

To fully
understand this book, unfortunately, you should read the first two books in the
spinoff series, Angels of the Dark: Wicked Nights and Beauty Awakened. While a
few events in those books are recapped in The Darkest Craving, there are unanswered
questions for readers (like me) who hadn2527t read the spinoff books.

This is
the last book I have so far in the LOTU series. Since the spinoff series is
intermingled with the main series, Burning Dawn (the third Angel book) comes
after this one, followed by The Darkest Touch (Torin2527s book), and then Baden2527s
book that came out in the summer of 2016. Will I continue collecting the LOTU
books and now the Angel books, as well? I don2527t know. I2527m invested in the
characters but I2527ll probably wait to buy the books when I find them on a big
sale.
