MY TAKE:    I am an avid Gena Showalter fan and am working my way through her backlist. The latest book of hers that I've finished is actually three stories in one.  It's a treat that includes two Lords of the Underworld tales and one from her Atlantis series.  All three are really good examples of why her different series are so wildly popular.  They are full of romance, adventure and steam.  While I enjoyed all three of them immensely, I would have to say that the last story "The Darkest Prison" was my favorite.  The story of Nike and Atlas had me glued to the pages.  I liked the bonus guide at the end that gives you a little more info on the characters from the Lords of the Underworld series.




If you haven't had a chance to try any of Ms. Showalter's books, I highly recommend that you do so right away!  The books shown below are the first in each of her series, but all of the ones that I've read do quite well as stand alones too.

Awaken Me Darkly (Alien Huntress, Book 1)  

The Stone Prince
