Please welcome Gena Showalter to Parajunkee's View
Q: How do you stay true to the world you created with the Lords of the Underworld series and keep from getting writer's block?
A: To be honest, I’ve never really experienced writer’s block. There’s always something one of the characters wants to say. Although…I have experienced “HTF do I start this bad boy?” With Paris’s story (coming in 2012) I wasn’t sure whether or not I was on the right path – I wasn’t – and ended up rewriting the beginning. Four times. Little wonder “four” is now my new F-bomb.
In this sexy new installment of New York Times and USA TODAY bestselling author Gena Showalter’s Lords of the Underworld series, the haunted Amun meets a woman who tempts him like no other.
Keeper of the demon of Secrets, Amun can manipulate the darkest thoughts of anyone nearby. But when the immortal warrior is chained and isolated to protect those he loves, death is his only hope of release—until he meets Haidee, a fellow prisoner whose beauty and hidden vulnerability draw him into a reckless test of his loyalty.
Haidee is a demon-assassin, raised to despise Amun’s kind. Yet how can she hate the man whose touch sets her aflame? But to save him, she must give herself body and soul…and face the wrath of a powerful adversary sworn to destroy her.

I LOVE Gena Showalter's Lord of the Underworld series because the men are so Alpha and so human in their emotional failings and successes. Suffering, vulnerabilty and strength make for one hell of a combination in a gorgeous man! Gena's books are an emotionally charged delight!
I love the series because the men are hot and dominating and so yummy! The women tend to be kick a$$ as well!! I <3 Gena!
Thanks for the giveaway!

I love this series, because of the characters. We can identify with them, and everytime that they cry or laugh, we do that with them. And the covers are amazing lol
Thanks for the giveaway. I just love the characters. And the men are so hot!

I love how such powerful sexy beings have lives like normal people and relationships. And the sex ain't half bad ;0). The story is always fresh.

I LOVE the series because it has gorgeous, sexy men and beautiful, empowered heroines. I also love the storyline, how there's always something happening, not just between the two main but with everyone else around them.

I love this series because I can pretend it is true... that hot ambulance guy at the coffee shop or that dark stranger always sitting in the library. This story lives on in my imagination all day long. :D

Who could not love this series!?
You nearly cry when you need to lay the book aside to sleep. The way of Gena's writing is interesting and fascinating.
I really love the greek myth and she wrote there such a unique story.
The storyline is not clumsy or boring, you always get surprised.
The characters are just bad ass, funny, sexy, cunning and they seem to be real.
Even the heroines are so sympathic and they really fit to their man.

I love LOTU because all of the characters are alphas and so tortured in their own distinct way. I fell fro Maddox right off the bat.

I love this story not only for the smoking hot Lords (not that they don't help) but also for the way the story is told. Gena has a way of keeping you on the edge of your seat wanting to know what is going to happen next in their quest! You get so drawn in to the story and feel like you are living the story with the Lords and their ladies that you are phyically invested in their lives!

They are sexy, sexy, hot, hot, and lots of action in all contexts! :D Tweeting away too!
Loved the book! It's a must read for the LOTU fans. :)
I'm addicted to my lords. Every time i read a book i begin to change my mind and switch myself into the books - enjoy every single moment with the heroes and don't want return home. Maybe this is the reason why i can only think about Gideon atm (cause i'm reading his story :P).
The lords are everything i'd like to have from a man. Strong, kind, lovely, careful... don't want to continue or i'll start to dream again, haha.
I love this series because I feel it's something new and exciting with each and every character. Gina's writing style is awesome and her story lines are superb. The characters have the perfect amount of humor, seriousness, romance, and kick assness in their personalities. They way the intermix with each other is awesome. Especially when someone finds their woman. It's great. Oh and of course, who wouldn't love a series with macho hotties :D I'm completely addicted to these books!!
As you can see from my picture I love the LOTU series. Gena's writing is great! I think the most intriguing thing about the series is that it was men who opened Pandora's box. I love how they were then punished by the gods. I also love that they care so much about the Budapest residents and how they take care of the city. The whole series is great!

I am a big fan of Showalters work. I have read almost every book she has written. I waited for this book to come out and already I can't wait for the next one. I really look forward to reading Paris' story. He is my favorite Lord.

I love LOTU because they are fun and funny. Each Lord book is something new and different. The concept is cool. And, I just plain like Gena Showalter's writing style. The books all read so smoothly. Thanks for the contest!

I LOVE this series #1 because I think it is such an original and interesting story line- men (and a woman) that opened Pandora's Box and now are living with those demons. Their personalities are so different and their significant others each complete them in their own unique way. It's a kick-ass world to read about.

I could mention a lot of things why I love Gena Showalter and her books, but maybe the most important thing is that her stories and characters makes me HOT. Each character has a different personality and I think it's hard to carry out. And Gena is writing better and better, each new book has something new and someting really-really exciting. I can't get enough of her books :)
