An Alien Murder Mystery Set in Chicago

Awaken Me Darkly by Gena Showalter

December 14, 2019 by teresaelectro Leave a Comment

I hadn’t read anything from Gena Showalter and decided to take on Awaken Me Darkly. The salacious cover reminded me of the Silk Stalkings series on USA Network, which I adore and own several seasons on DVD. I didn’t know anything about the Alien Huntress series but I was game to dive into the audiobook. In this first book of the series, we meet Mia Snow, a rising star in the Chicago PD. She runs the Alien Investigation and Removal team of agents. They hunt alien […]

The Dumbest Kiss

The Darkest Kiss by Gena Showalter

June 17, 2014 by alwaysanswerb 4 Comments

This book. Don’t read it. It was a Vaginal Fantasy pick, but an awful one. The plot was uninteresting, the pacing jarring, the writing juvenile and uninspired, and the characters flat and insipid. Here’s the rub: Lucien is one of the Lords of the Underworld, punished for opening Pandora’s Box by having the demon of Death coupled to his soul. He and Death are one; they cannot be separated. He has to perform Reaper-like tasks and escort souls to their final resting places (these are boringly […]
