I am not a huge fan of romance books. I find that after awhile they all are formulatic and all you need to do to read a different book is change the couple's names and the location of the story. I recently found that I do enjoy some of the paranormal romance stories out there, but they aren't as near and dear to me as their cousins, urban fantasy. After seeing the Immortals After Dark showing up on my recommendation list for ages I read "A Hunger Like No Other" awhile back and I was floored! The writing was so good, the characters so evolved...and the romance was actually romantic..and hot hot hot! After reading so many romances sometimes the love scenes feel more like you are reading an instruction manaul ie: "Phillip inserted tab A into Manuella's slot B. She moaned." Somehow Kresley makes her scenes unbelieveably erotic and unique. I actually don't skip ahead the sex scene pages and I do that far too often when I read. "No Rest For the Wicked" continued to be unique and exciting. This story was about Kaderin, a Valkyrie, who was 'gifted' with the inability to feel. This 'gift' helps Kaderin become a kick butt figter and force to be reckoned with. She unabashedly kills vampires from the Horde, evil and killing bloodsuckers. So when she meets Sabastian she wants his head. But soon she finds that he isn't an evil vampire, or an evil person. He recognizes that she is to be his Bride. But its going to take a lot of effor on Sabastian's part to convince her of that. When Kaderin signs up on to be in a Legendary Hunt, an otherworld version of the Amazing Race, Sabastian joins her...willing to offer help she doesn't want to accept. There is enough story here, enough action in their journey to more than keep my interest in the book. Cole never loses sight of the fact that romance or not, she has to keep the story flowing. The love scenes are plentiful but they don't overtake the story. And unlike other paranormal romances (some I enjoy), this book is nothing like its predecessor. Looking at this book as a romantic novel, there is no way this story could be less than five star. If if I were to look at it as a paranormal tale without the main focus on the romance I would still give it between 3 1/2 to 4 stars. I eagerly anticipate reading the next books in this series.

I was always just into the usual vampire fantasy romance novels. Then I read a few of the pages of the first book in this series on Amazon. I didn't want it to stop so I knew that I had to get this book series. It has been awesome and I can hardly wait till Christmas so that I can get the rest.

This is about a 3 1/2 star book. I'm disappointed because I loved the first one and had high hopes for this one. It started out great. Intense, lots of chemistry, the brooding, tortured, and ultra-sexy hero, etc. But somewhere along the way KC lost it! For me, the reason for this lay in her heroine. I couldn't like her! I really wanted to, but after pages and pages of over-the-top mean and cruel behavior, not to mention utter selfishness, I just couldn't get behind her at all! I kept expecting redemption at some point and I never really got it. Sebastion, on the other hand, was nothing but selfless. But the fact that he just kept taking her abuse and going back for more detracted from his over-all studliness. Frankly, he started seeming a little pathetic. There was a point where he got fed-up and he was going to try to be the only vampire to forsake his bride. I found myself cheering him on! I was so hoping he would get ruthless and cold and give her a taste of her own medicine and that would be the changing moment for her, but no. That went absolutely nowhere! So, like some of the other reviewers, I found the middle of the book very repetitive. I was easily able to put it down for extended periods of time. The end did pick-up and get exciting again, however, it was a bit rushed and easy. I've come to the conclusion that it's not the vampires that I don't like. It's the Valkyries! I really didn't care for them as secondary characters in Emmaline's story either. I liked Emmaline a lot! Being half vampire was an intriguing twist and she was very different from her aunts. But I'm just not impressed with the rest of the species in general. They seem to be generally unsupportive of each other. I expected Kaderin to have an ally in Myst, but even she advised against bringing a vampire to the coven. (It was okay for her, I guess, but nobody else!) Hadn't they already accepted Nikolai? (Albeit grudgingly.) I just wasn't buying that conflict. No, generally speaking, I find the Valkyries annoying. I know they are supposed to be funny with all their various quirks , but it just doesn't play that way for me. I feel like, if they truly love their sister, they'd be glad that she's found some happiness after 1000+ years of not feeling rather than giving her grief! Oh well! I'm just going to resign myself to the fact that the Valkyrie books probably won't be my favorites. There are other series out there like that too. In the mean time, I'm going to go on to the next. I love the Lykae, and Bowen in particular! And neither hero nor heroine is a Valkyrie. It could be a beautiful thing!

A cold blooded Valkerie bloods a Vampire warlord. HOT, SEXY, & Exciting all the way through. From the first chapter thru the end, you will be needing more, more, and more!! I am addicted to The Immortals After Dark series, I can't put them down. You will love Sebastian, and everything he does to win over his Bride. He is intelligent, and sets the pace for the next book. I promise you will not be disappointed!
