The Darkest Kiss was kinda so-so. I'm just invested enough in the Lords of the Underworld as characters to want to continue the series, but one thing I've noticed that doesn't bode well for me finishing it is that Showalter is very formulaic. This is my third Showalter book and they all pretty much follow the same path. Bad boy meets girl, they resist but feel destined to be together. Heavy petting ensues, they declare their undying love to each other, the big bad shows up, the couple fight, they win, and they live happily ever after.
