 A delicious read. January 6, 2009
I have read all of KC's Immortal series and have loved every one. Some more than others. This was definitely one of the top 3 and I have read it a few times now.
Initially, I was not looking forward to this one, as the idea of the horns on the head was a little off putting, but it worked surprisingly well!
With all the saucy and steamy scenes we can expect from K.C, this book also has a fun side to it thanks to the loveable Cade who injects humour in with his delicious alpha male ways.
A definite must read for all Kresley Cole fans!

This is one of the best books i have ever read. Its plot will have you stuck to the sofa making you unable to put it down until you've gotten to the end. I wasn't sure about it at first but after starting to read i couldn't stop. I now look very forward to reading the other books in the immortal series.
 Good but not fantastic July 28, 2008
I have read all of the Immortals After Dark series and each one was really well written with excellent character development, well handled action scenes and super charged eroticism. However, it is not surprising that after five (or six if you include the anthologised story) smashing stories the standard would drop eventually.
This book is not bad, it just isn't up to Kresley Cole's usual standard. The romance seems rushed, even forced and although there are plenty of fun moments - the action scenes are as good as ever - and there are the usual array of fascinating denizens of of the Lore, it is not enough to cover a somewhat floppy plotline.
That said, I am still glad I bought the book (I just don't re read it like I do the Wroth brother stories)
Great story, bit short in the ending but still great... July 28, 2008

I loved this book. I was not convinced that I would enjoy this book considering the lack of Vampires or Lycans but Cade the rage demon really made me change my mind.
Cade is a rage demon who has spent 9 centuries being punished for losing his borthers crown, and Holly doesn't know it yet but she is a halfling (half human, half Valkerie). We know from the previous IAD books that Cade believes her to be his mate, but thinking she was fully human she was forbidden to him. Cade has seemed very superficial in previous IAD books but this latest story has done well to portray him as just in his reserved and stand-offish nature. I also love that Holly is not perfect. She utterly flawed and wonderfully quirky.
One of the main advantages to the world Cole has created, is that it's diverse, full of different species, laws, mythologies, characters and locations. But the added bonus is that she show's no partiality to any of them. The Immortals After Dark Series is building up to the "Ascension", a war that occurs every 500 years. It pits species against species, forces new alliances and does what it's supposed to - thins out the Lore population. Each book in Cole's IAD series is a prequel to the war yet to come and demonstrates how the different species are aligning, that the line between good and evil is very blurred and that anything can and will happen. I cannot wait for the next in the series to come out, and I cannot wait to get to the Ascension....
I would thoroughly recommend this book from Kresley Cole. It's fast paced, well written and doesn't seem forced or cliched. Enjoy...
A very nice addition to the serie June 7, 2008

I enjoyed this book very much even if it is not as much action as the first ones in the serie. The characters are special: a demon, the first in the serie and a girl that is very far from the typical heroine. The ending was a bit abrupt, but the rest of the book was well developed and very much worth reading.
