This is an awesome idea. Really happy I got my hand on it. You know how it is with these kind of Paranormal Series, after a while you kinda forgot what was "that guy's" problem, or who was his love interest, or maybe what was his special ability / curse etc. After ten (and more) books it meshes in together, especially as most of us read more that one Paranormal series and all the characters get mixed up in our head... So having this guild helps put order in our head especially when there's a new book out and you want to remind yourself of some details before or during a read (that was probably a year away from the previous one).
This is why I originally made the "Series Pages" in my blog.. I realized that I forgot too many details as time goes by. So as I was building the Series Page for the Lords of the Underworld I used this guild to add up all the important details about each of the Lords (now available under each novel).
I'm not sure why I didn't write my review of this one after I read it (and build the series page) must have slipped my mind with all the writing I did for the blog but well, I'm getting to it now! Especially since next I'll be reading "The Darkest Touch" - Torin's (long awaited!!!) book.
I got this book in a compilation with 2 short novellas in the series - The Darkest Fire & The Darkest Prison - called "Into the Dark" but now you can also buy each one of those separately. The book contains an interview between Gena and Kresley Cole, a LOT of information about each and every Lord, Gena explaining how she got started with this series, interviews with the Lords, chit-chat with the women beside the Lords, FAQ, missing demons from Pandora's Box and a general glossary of characters and terms.
Really a great and informative but also fun guild, recommended to the series junkies (like me :))

ABOUT THIS SERIES
Lords of the Underworld is a Paranormal Romance series by Gena Showalter
which follows 12 warriors who carry inside them a demon. The warriors
are "good" or rather, they aren't bad, but the demon they carry inside
of them does it's best to try and do evil through them. In the past,
when the warriors were just given the demons they couldn't control them
but now most of them just want to live their lives in the peace they can
have.
In each book one of the warriors finds his HEA. Every woman has a special ability or have some special connection to the world around them.
There is a global plot continuing as each book progressed. First there are the gods. This series uses both the Greek Gods as well as the Titans but there are more supernatural being out there (like Angels who appear in the spin-off series). Second there are "The Hunters" who try to destroy the warriors, blaming them for the troubles of the world (in their eyes committed through the demons that live inside them).
The world building of this series is amazing. There is a lot to learn about the powers that keeps the world at his balance. As the series progressed we learn more and more about them and the spin off series "Angles of the Dark" gives another angle of what happens in the heavens.
NOTE - I stopped reading this series in the 11th installment. Up until this book this series was one of my favorites, but since that book was HORRIBLE I decided not to continue on. Later on there was a HUGE issue with the author with a rather strange decision in changing a promised and much anticipated coupling.
