Synopsis via Goodreads

Having endured weeks of torture in the bowels of hell, Kane wants nothing to do with his beautiful rescuer, Josephina Aisling. The half-Fae female threatens to awaken the demon of Disaster inside him—a beast he’s determined to kill, no matter the price.

Josephina is hunted by a brutal enemy—her royal family—and Kane is her only source of protection. He’s also the only male to ever set her aflame, and even he succumbs to the heat. But as they navigate the treacherous world of the Fae, they are forced to make a choice: live apart…or die together.

WHY I'M WAITING: 

I've been a loyal fan of Gena Showalter's "Lords of the Underworld" series since the beginning. These books are the main reason why paranormal romance became my first favorite genre ever. ("First" because I'm beginning to lean towards NA, but that's a story for another time).

In a world of alpha male vampires and werewolves, GS switched things up with the incorporation of Greek mythology. And these alpha males are something else entirely. They're each demon-possessed warriors, and are on a quest to find Pandora's box at all costs. Except, things don't exactly go as planned (And do they ever, really?) when each warrior finds their mate, and their number one focus shifts to something like : 

To Do List

1) Protect mate at all costs.

2) Find Pandora's box. 

Being a part of a series filled with laughs, amazing characters, and tons of nonstop action, GS's next installation of her Lords of the Underworld's The Darkest Craving is a book I will be anxiously awaiting for the next....*glances at calendar longingly, hoping that the days fly by* thirteen days.
