I liked this book but man it sure was a slog to get thru. I do enjoy this series but each book does kind of have that moment where I’m like “this could be 100 pages shorter”

I’ll keep reading the series just the same

Vi avverto subito che Paris è il mio signore degli inferi prediletto... quindi in questa recensione sarò decisamente di parte!

Il romanzo ha inizio con la ricerca di Viola, la dea minore dell'Aldilà, che possiede un segreto preziosissimo per Paris: come fare per riuscire a vedere l'anima di Sienna?

Paris è disposto a tutto per ottenere l'informazione e poter finalmente iniziare la vera ricerca di Sienna: e, infatti, lo ritroviamo immerso nell'oscurità che ormai dominata quasi interamente le sue azioni. Un'oscurità che rischia di annientarlo.

Divenuto spietato e violento, Paris non ha nessuna remora nell'uccidere chiunque si frapponga tra lui e la sua Sienna. E questo sebbene i suoi sentimenti per lei siano ancora contrastanti: odio per quello che gli ha fatto, attrazione perché è l'unica donna con la quale potrebbe costruire una relazione.

Ma neanche Sienna sa esattamente quello che prova per Paris. Convinta di non essere bella abbastanza per lui, dovrà combattere contro la diffidenza che Paris prova nei suoi confronti e il suo passato ingombrante di migliaia e migliaia di conquiste.

E come sviluppare questo amore in fasce, sapendo che le loro strade dovranno dividersi? Sapendo che Paris potrebbe distruggere la luce di Sienna con la sua oscurità?

Purtroppo, però, Paris non è l'unico ad interessarsi alla dolce Sienna. Angeli, divinità dell'Oltretomba e del Cielo se la contendono: in qualche oscuro modo, Sienna sarà una pedina fondamentale della guerra tra Bene e Male che sta per scatenarsi. Vecchie e arcane profezie stanno per avverarsi...

E intanto la guerra tra Bene e Male si scatena, con un finale piuttosto sorprendente. D'altronde è la stessa Sienna ad ammettere, alla fine, rivolgendosi al suo Paris: «Ho sempre saputo che eri destinato a grandi cose.» E, dopo tutto quello che Paris e Sienna hanno passato, è impossibile non dichiararsi d'accordo.

The two stories contained within this volume are part of each author's larger series. 'Untouchable' by Kresley Cole is part of her Immortals After Dark book series and 'Tempt Me Eternally' by Gena Showalter is part of her Alien Huntress book series. I've read neither series for the record.

Initially when I heard about this book I was excited because I really enjoy Showalter's books. Playing With Fire is my favorite, but I enjoy her Atlantis books as well. For some reason I've never read her Alien Huntress books. Kresley Cole is one of those authors that I know I should read, since I enjoy paranormal romances so much, but haven't had any interest in. That said, I have to admit I loved Cole's Danii a lot. Valkayrie coolness aside, I liked that because of who she is she's been untouchable. Not because of a past guy who did her wrong, or father issues or anything like that. She's straddling two worlds and neither world wants much to do with her (talk about paying for the sins of the parents).

Murdoch was kind of awesome, but also rather vexing. He's a self-proclaimed manwhore and feels he has good reason to fear being bonded, but he's a little short-sighted. Or else he's hanging with the wrong crowds. Either way he ignored the good that came with the potential bad. This is a romance, so it is inevitable, but there was a merry chase involved.

Showalter's story fared a little less well for me, but I can't tell if its because I didn't enjoy it or because I have no idea about the world she was writing in. The premise is pretty cool--we can all be like Mystique from X-Men!--but I suppose since I was familiar with the world a lot of it fell flat. I did like Breean though and was mostly envious of Aleaha.

Minor pet peeve, I can't remember how to spell any of the four romantic leads names without looking it up.

This is a good book for a winter's evening however, the romance will take the chill off your skin and should be a treat for fans of either series.
