Liked It1 of 1 members found this review helpful “Maddox was once an immortal guard to the gods, but was cursed when his pride was wounded when he was not chosen to guard the dimOuniak, a sacred box housing demons so vile and destructive they could not even be trusted in hell. When the gods chose the female warrior, Pandora, Maddox and the other...” see full review » see other reviews » |
Didn’t Like It1 of 1 members found this review helpful “I am an avid reader of romance and have no problem with steamy books however, this book felt gratuitous to a fault. I also couldn't stand the old language and ways of the Lords. I know that they are really old but it is as though they have not had any exposure to anything more modern than their...” see full review » see other reviews » |

“Maddox, the name of Violence. Doomed to die everynight till he crosses path with Ashlyn. Gentelness tames Violence the demon, the man. I loved the story between Maddox and Ashlyn. How they just belonged to each other. They knew it. They felt it from the very begining.

Great story. I enjoyed the story about the other demons and would love to find out about Reyes finds love. ”
“1. I wasn't exactly sure if I was meant to find certain bits so funny. Obviously bits were made to be funny like the guys thinking pills were 'pebbles' and some of the other random crap they thought, showing just how isolated they were, but then during the 'heated' moments, some of the stuff Maddox and Ashlyn says is just hilarious in a very cringey and cheesy way!

2. WHY SO DRAMATIC? I know you're in a house full of demons that could kill you within a second but like, must you have a giant break down every damn second?! This was especially true in the scene where Dannika (sp?) was getting brought into town and it was like a 5minute scene of her screaming... Shut up. This wouldn't of annoyed me if every moment of their interaction would of been like this but it wasn't. At other times they were completely calm and accepting of the situation.
3. While the first chapter was a slight 'info dump' it actually worked out in the end. For this being the first book in a series, we were fed information about their world in a way I could actually stand and in a way that actually made sense which was a welcome change to the general 'first book info dump'.
4. The pace of the main relationship was excellent. More and more in PNR's I find myself getting annoyed at how fast they seem to go with the main relationship but for this book it was near enough perfect. Even though it did happen quite quickly time-wise, in the book itfelt like much longer and it was totally believable.
5. I also like the pace of the friendships in the book. The acceptance of Ashlyn by the Lords was truly believable.
6. I really didn't like Anya. I mean, I knew there was going to have to be some sort of way to end it and it was cutting it close to really bring in a whole load of explanation and 'way out clause' but Anya felt rushed. Hopefully we'll get to know her!
Overall this is a really great book, but I thought it definitely had its flaws, especially in terms of writing.”
“I was a little worried about this series. I'd seen so many negative reviews and dislike for it that I wasn't sure I wanted to try it. I'm so glad I did! I loved this book! I will admit I agree there was a lot of background to pack into the first book, but with all series, there will always be a lot to take in at the begining so it didn't put me off too much. The characters are so well written. They're all complex and dark, well all but Paris anyway! I'm a big mythology geek so I love this take on the story of Pandora's box. I'm really looking forward to reading more.”

“Loved it. The lords are all possessed with demons but still find a way to be good and do good things. ”

“Suffers from first book syndrome - slow to start and lots of world building that can feel excessive in parts. The mythological background meshes well into the storyline and the take on Pandora's box is original.

The main couple are compelling and well developed, however, the interaction with the secondary characters is contrived - the angst between the Lords is overdone at times. The action heats up toward the end and the hero's little problem is resolved in an interesting way.
Will continue with the series.”
“Another random, accidental, impulse read :( ”

“Enjoyable, but a little rocky in some places. Although the series gets wonderful as it goes along, so worth reading.”

“I was rather disappointed with the flow of this book. Some areas seemed rushed, where as others seemed to drag. In the end, I just didn't feel the connection with the characters. Going to try book #2 to see if it gets any better.
