My Review:

I didn't expect the legend of Pandora's box to be used in this way. The Darkest Fire was interesting and it captured me from the beginning. The romance was sweet and the ending was unexpected. I do know that the Lord of the Underworld series is an Adult Paranormal Romance, thus, I expected a more mature content as well as language.

The problem I found in this book was the way it was written. Yes, the story and concept were interesting but the writing was rather childish. I felt like I was reading a fairy tale. The way the words, sentences and dialogues were construed were very unadult-like and I felt kind of weird while reading adult contents written in that manner.

Nevertheless, Pandora's box and those Demon Lords really intrigued me and aroused my curiosity. Therefore, I will read the first book in the series and then decide whether to continue on with it.
