Publisher's summary

New York Times and USA Today best-selling author Liliana Hart's first book in her suspenseful Gravediggers series, featuring an elite group of mysterious men who might be dead to the world but are also tasked with saving it - and no one can ever know.

The Gravediggers aren't exactly what they seem. They're the most elite of the world's fighting forces - and all they have in common is that they've been betrayed by the countries they've died for. Because they are dead. To their countries, their militaries, and their families.

Sometimes the dead do rise....

Deacon Tucker is a dead man walking. A former black ops agent, he was disavowed and stripped of all honor before being recruited as a Gravedigger. But his honor and good name no longer matter, because no one knows he's alive, and he'll never get the recognition he deserves. His mission is simple: save the world or die trying. And for God's sake, don't ever fall in love. That's a rule punishable by death. The kind of death a man can't be brought back from.

Tess Sherman is the only mortician in Last Stop, Texas. She has no idea how Deacon Tucker ended up in her funeral home, but she'll eat her hat if he's only a funeral home assistant. Deacon is dangerous, deadly, and gorgeous. And she knows her attraction to him can only end in heartache.

Deacon is on a mission to stop the most fatal terror attack the world has ever known - what's known as The Day of Destiny - a terrorist's dream. But when he discovers Tess has skills he can use to stop them, he has to decide if he can trust her with secrets worth dying for. And, most important, he has to decide if he can trust her with his heart.

quit disapointed...

i have been Liliana Hart fan since her first books,and Makenzie series were amazing. sexy,hot and full of adventure. however this wasnt good book to start off next series. i alredy bought all 3books that are out, but after this one i wouldnt have done that. this was very avarage story.

Good start to a new series

What did you love best about The Darkest Corner?

I liked it all but the concept of The Gravediggers and how the team members became a part of the group was clever. I look forward to reading the next books and learning more about each character.

What was one of the most memorable moments of The Darkest Corner?

I'd have to say the first scene when an event occurs that is relatable in today's breaking news terms.

What does Jonathan Todd Ross and Devra Woodward bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

I thought they did a great job and enhanced the characters - really glad I chose to listen as well as read.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

I'd have to go back to the opening scene and the vulnerability we all share in today's world.

Any additional comments?

Looking forward to listening to the next book in the series. I pre-ordered!

I love this book!!!

The whole idea is outstanding and the story is the kind I love.
Now on to the next book in this series.

No suspense—more “romance which means sex”. Weak story line

Weak story line. We made it through chapter 15 and very little suspense. Not what I anticipated-should be described as erotic drama not suspense. Wanted to like this but very disappointed!!
