 Great addition to the Immortals series! August 17, 2008
I have been reading romance novels since I was 15, so a good 20 years now. In my mind nothing like a cup of tea and a good romance novel to escape and unwind at the end of a day.
Just to give a sample of my taste, other authors I enjoy are: Jen Holling, Connie Brockway, Johanna Lindsey, Julie Garwood, Christina Dodd, just to name a few.
This entire series is such a page turner. I had a hard time putting any of the titles down. More evenings than I care to admit I stayed up way to late "just to read one more chapter".
You can feel from the beginning how Cade yearns for Holly. It's like a love that can never work... until fate if you will throws a curve and maybe just maybe there is a chance. Of course first he has to figure out how to trick the the crazy crafty wizard, get the sword and still keep his true love. Hum... well all in a days work. I wanted Cade to find love after reading about him in Wicked Deeds on a Winters Night. I was happy to see him getting his own story and to see that it was a human of all things that first caught his eye. Very great story. At the end I cried for Holly. That feeling of utter betrayal she was feeling really just jumped off the page at you. Great great read!
I enjoyed the glimpse of supporting characters so you felt that any of them would be enjoyable to read about in their own series. I'd love to see crazy Nix find love of her own LOl. The entire series is fast and there is not a lot of review of what happened in a prior book. You open the book and off you go. These are not slow moving. I laughed, I cried, I blushed. Boy Ms. Cole writes some steamy scenes. Wow! And I am amazed that nothing repeats. Each book is so different, the plots are so different and the way the main characters relate is so different. Yes they do all have hansom men and lovely ladies. But the dynamic relationship between the main characters is simply fire from page 1 to the end. Out of all my years reading romance. I have never read modern romance before. I can say without a doubt that these are the best romance books I have read and that is truly saying a lot considering how many authors works sit on my shelf.
 Kinda Boring July 31, 2008
I love Kresley but oh boy did I have a hard time getting through this one. It felt very rushed but sorta slow at the same time... make any sense? And the story just wasn't that interesting. I found I didn't really care what happened to the characters either unlike Kresley's other books.
LOVE IT July 28, 2008
I LOVE KRESLEY COLE'S IMMORTALS AFTER DARK SERIES. THEY ARE ALL GREAT BOOKS THAT LEAVE YOU WAITING FOR THE NEXT ONE!!
 Fun read July 21, 2008
I love both lead characters Cadeon and Holly, and the author gives them enough dimensions to be strong. Their courtship and relationship is sweet and steamy. Never would have thought horns were sexy, but this book changed that, and the love scenes are great. I also love how Cadeon is the more thoughtful and caring character, while Holly is learning to be a warrior; a fun play on how the opposite sides of them are coming out.
I thought the ending was a bit rushed. The importance of her being a Vessel seemed kind of dropped.
Spoiler ahead:
Don't really understand what impact her child would have in the Lore.
Score for Cade July 15, 2008
This book is about making the right choice. Gamble wrong and you loose everything - Gamble right and you win everything. Cade is a rage demon that has been looking for his mate for over 900 hundred years. When he finally finds Holly he is 99% sure she is his life mate but it turns out she is human and he can never have her (so he thinks). Over these same 900 years Cade has been trying to help his brother win back his crown/kindom. Which will help Cade regain his brother's faith in him and remove the shame placed on him for causing his brother to loose his crown.
This is a wonderfully written story about choices, love (with steamy scenes), and honor. I enjoy the cat and mouse games that Cade and Holly play as the get to know one another. I also like how Cade and Holly play on an intellectual level. I think this book had a lot of seduction however, I would have ejoyed a few more hot demon love scenes. This book also has some of my favorite characters re-surface like Nix and Reign. This book will definitely keep you entertained and interested.
