Many of their traits are emphasized by their demons. Torin is responsible for many of the plagues that have ravished the world.Īll the Lords are very different and have a variety of personalities. If they are immortal they may survive but then they become a carrier of that disease and cannot touch anyone themselves. If he touches anyone they sicken with some horrible disease and if they are mortal, die. He can’t have any type of skin to skin contact with anyone. Torin is infected with the demons of disease. The series is about the twelve of them finding love while also searching for Pandora’s box, in order to rid themselves of their demons and live their lives.ĭarkest Touch is Torin’s story. They rejoin once again when one of them ends up in trouble. They split into two groups, one wanting to destroy their enemies the hunters and the others just wanting to live their lives without problems any longer. Finally they each are able to get control. For many centuries they a ravage and destroy the world because they do not have control over their demons. Each Lord houses one demon from Violence and Promiscuity to Pain and Misery. In so doing they released the demons inside and as punishment Zeus then puts the demons inside each of the Lords. One day they decided to kill Pandora and open Pandora’s box, upset because Pandora was given the privilege of guarding the box. The Lords of the Underworld are immortal warriors that used to serve Zeus. The Darkest Touch is actually the eleventh (and newest) book in the series.

And The Lords of the Underworld is my favorite of the many series she has written and is writing.

I have read a number of authors and books that are considered paranormal romance but Gena Showalter happens to be my favorite. I do like the romance element but I need a more substantial story with some type of fantastic element to keep me from getting bored or distracted. Just a plain romance novel generally fails to hold my attention which is why I tend to gravitate toward paranormal romances. Romance isn’t my favorite genre of story in either books or movies.
