A Goodreads user asked Gena Showalter:

How do you NOT make your books so cliche?

Gena Showalter I'm a big fan of taking an ordinary idea and twisting it to create something totally different!

Pandora's box...opened by men (Lords of the Underworld)
Two kingdoms at war...in the afterlife (Everlife series)
Atlantis...home to monsters of myth (Atlantis series)
Alice in Wonderland...modern day with zombies (White Rabbit Chronicles)
Aliens...already walking among us (Alien Huntress & Otherworld Assassins)

Dear Gena! I love you and your books, even if there are not so many in my foreign language translated (Hungarian). But I read all of them which was published in Hungarian. I would like to ask you whether you had a playlist during writing? Are there any favourite music which you like listening? Or something that give you inspiration? Could you mention some of them? Best wishes from Hungary! :) <3

Where did the idea/inspiration of the Lord's tattoos come from? And how did you determine which demon/affliction each lord would be paired with?

What about Pandora? She was one of those rescued but disappeared after everyone arrived back at the Fortress.
