Description

Romance and manga becomes one in Harlequin Manga!

Those crimson eyes look like they want nothing more than to turn this whole world to ash.... But I would die happy if he killed me right now. Ashlyn has a strange power: she hears the voices of the past that linger in this world. Since she was a child, she's lived a noisy and lonesome life. But when she hears the rumors of angels living in an ancient castle in Budapest, she can't help but venture into their forest. There, she sees a muscular man covered in fresh blood, a man who advances on her with murder in his eyes. But instead of fear, she feels a complete and total silence descend upon her. And an indescribable sense of security...

This is the manga version of the series and this is the first part of book one. I read the first book ages ago and I really enjoyed seeing the book come to life in picture form.

The story is engaging and it nicely introduces the Lords and tells us their back story. We also get to understand who Ashlyn is and we have an intro to her special abilities which have set her aside from friends and family in the past.

The manga version is done really well and manages to capture the first part of the prose version of the book. This is set to be a thoroughly enjoyable manga series.

A neat way to re-read the Darkest Night. Beautiful artwork helps bring the story to life. So enjoyed it.

There's a hidden world in Budapest. And it's not normal.

24-year-old Ashlyn has been born with incredible abilities: she can hear all conversations around her from past and present. So, when she bumps into a castle where the voices in her head quiet down, she is determined to find out why. But the castle is not inhabited by angels, as legends say. It's inhabited by Guardians, cursed with inner demons. But even that isn't enough to keep her away from the handsome, mysterious Guardian who keeps his secrets at bay - and the feeling is mutual.

Dark, mysterious, and with generous amounts of romance, The Darkest Night is an interesting read that combines adventure, fantasy and mystery. This is the first chapter of the story, and it's absolutely worth the read - especially if you're a fan of the original book.

Ms. Showalter writes stories which has something in itself. Add manta layer to it with beautiful drawings and I'm done.
The story followed really well First part of The Book. Now I can't wait to grab the second part.

A fantastic read

An engaging book i highly recommend
The story follows a young girl who has the power to hear people's thoughts, she meets a stranger one day while looking for 'angels' and the voices stop. Who is he and why does he captivate her.?

The plot is an interesting one, its a retelling of Pandora and the box. The only problem i had reading this was the art., i could not see how the demons looked like however everything else was okay.

If you are looking for a quick read enjoyable read this would be perfect.

I love Gena Showalter. I love Manga. What a perfect combination. This is a great introduction to her books for anyone who hasn't read them before and one of my favourite series too. It is adapted well, the only criticism being as it is a manga you lose a lot of the details I loved, but because it's manga you can't do much about that. The art work is lovely and I loved the character design of the men in the book, just wasn't as keen on the main character design.

The first book in a paranormal series about fallen Titans, this manga will keep you hooked with its intense plot, deep yearning of two individuals who fall in love despite their different nature, and incredible art. I am usually not much into paranormal , but this series deserves being the exception. Highly recommended.
