Don't you just love that cover?
This series has been on my "To Be Read" list for a long time! I borrowed Darkness Becomes Her, Book 1 in the series, from the library and it is currently sitting in the pile on my nightstand! I love mythology, so I'm looking forward to the series!
For those of you not familiar with the series, here is the book trailer for Darkness Becomes Her:
