The twists involving her character her pact with Lucifer, the possibility that Aeron will have sex with her and her encounter with Galen are seriously creepy. I have no idea what Aeron sees in her and I just want her to die already. Despite the build up of his demon in previous installments, it is completely under-utilized here and all we get from him is the repeated "mine, mine, mine".
She is constantly throwing herself at Aeron and fawning over him even when he rejects her - "confident and aggressive" NOT!Īeron lacks emotional depth and goes from hunky alpha to wimpy omega. Her status as a fallen angel is the most interesting thing about her but this fails to reach its potential either in her thoughts or actions as demonstrated by her constant need to remind both Aeron and the reader that she is actually fallen. Olivia is the worst type of heroine - passive, needy and insipid. They have absolutely no chemistry and their relationship feels forced.
Each mythology is compelling in its own right but they do not mesh well.Īfter reading The Darkest Kiss and The Darkest Pleasure, Aeron's book was at the top of my list but, unfortunately, his romance with Olivia falls flat on its face. I also dislike the introduction of Christian lore into a series that has previously focused on elements from Greek myth. Nevertheless, the pace eventually picks up and the last 1/4 is exciting. The first 1/4 of the book is slow and disjointed. While I am thoroughly enjoying this series, The Darkest Passion does not live up to expectations. Note: This series MUST be read in order otherwise it is virtually impossible to follow the storyline and references to secondary characters. Fascinated by the fallen angel who claims to have forfeited immortality to experience life and love with him, Aeron finds himself torn between fulfilling his desire for Olivia and appeasing his faithful demon companion, Legion, who will do anything to dispose of the angel. Olivia is a warrior angel charged with assassinating Aeron, the keeper of Wrath, but refuses to carry out her mission and is exiled from Heaven.
