Best in the series

It's obvious that people have different tastes, but I am happy to see that almost everybody appreciates Mrs. Cole's writing skills! She is very talented and recognizable in her writing (which is MAJOR thing in our days). I was not a fan of the genre prior to her series and now I am really impatient getting the two new books scheduled for this year.
I don't intend to comment the plot, there are many reviews doing it. Personally, I've loved Sebastian because he is not the usual very sure and dominant male, but he is intelligent enough to find the best way in reaching his female (and not only in bed, even if the love scenes are very well written and their number is very well balanced in the entire book). These two really fit together in my opinion. I've also appreciated the idea that "brides" are vampires' mates, but this does not mean love has to be automatically involved, you still have to try hard for it!

Loved this book! Even better than book one.

I love Sebastian and Kaderin, their passion burns up the pages. This is the second book in Kresley Coles Immortals after dark series. I loved the first book but this one is even better.

Wicked

I am not going to do a rendition, I see this has already been done. This book was a great sequel to the Immortals After Dark series. The story was great, had tons of passion, the sex was HOT. I could not put it down. I am greatly looking forward to more Kresley books.

Kudos to the author, keep them coming






Wicked? More like combative.

We briefly got a chance to know something of Kaderin the Cold in the first installment of this series. Her hero, Sebastian, we did not. We did meet his brother though. From the beginning of No Rest for the Wicked we find out that the brothers have not seen one another in years because Nikolai turned Sebastian against his will... and Sebastian is none-too-happy about this. When the emotionless Valkyrie, Kaderin, comes to kill him (as she has done with any vampire she can for centuries) they are both surprised that she holds back.

Instantly attracted by some unseen force the two are thrust together by the cliched 'soul-mate' mentality of many a paranormal romance. That could have killed off the story pretty quickly but Cole cleverly plotted her story around a global treasure-hunt of mythological proportions compared to The Amazing Race. Add in a prize that both Kaderin and Sebastian would both be willing to risk their lives for and you have a pretty entertaining adventure.

The romance itself was a little forced, and I personally did not like Sebastian's ways of trying to woo Kaderin. But his more beta-male personality was very refreshing and he was more gentlemanly than the Lykae we met in the first and second books. The plot was entertaining, the romance only a little dry and the ending will please most romance readers.

Not as good as the previous two...

I like the Immortals After Dark series, and I will continue to read them despite the average rating that I give this book....

A Hunger Like No Other was a really great book (see my review)...this one not so much..here are the reasons:

* I don't watch "The amazing race", although I know it's popular. I thought it was kind of hooky that Cole would try to infuse the popularity of a TV show into a paranormal romance. It didn't sit well.
* The romance was more of a "I can't believe your my Bride so I guess I'll have to live with you" romance. I never really believed that these two would've "chosen" each other.
* I thought that Kaderin was an extremely unlikeable lead and for that matter so was Sebastion. He was kind of a weak personality in contrast to Kaderin's strong personality.

All that said..I am a huge Lykae fan and the character of Bowen is intriguing and I can't wait for his story next.
