I don't write a ton of reviews, but after 13+ books in this series I had to admit...I'm addicted!
The stories are enthralling, and surprisingly each one is very different even though the general plot stays the same. the author has done an amazing job with the varied story lines and characters. just today I found myself yelling NO out loud at a moment in the story, as I carried my phone around with me all morning dying to finish this story!

the narrator is superb. period. he does such an outstanding job with the multitude of voices needed, accents, languages, etc. no two main characters ever sound alike, which makes the story even harder to stop listening to!

sex scenes...sizzling.

I loved the story but missed the banter with Nix and the other Valkyrie. Thank you looking forward to the next book.

This series is amazing each book is unique, and very much breath taking. The narrator is my favorite male narrator!

Amazing

Although I really enjoyed this story, the MFC drove me a little crazy. It must be my age of 34 or something but this chit was just very immature at times. The love triangle/unrequited love was slightly irritating. But not so much that I didn’t still enjoy it. Another good story to add to the long list of Ms Cole.

Another good story

Okay, so usually I don't listen to books of this type. I usually listen to horror and science fiction, with a little fantasy and non-fiction. I usually scoff at books of this nature. In fact, it was an accident that I even downloaded this book. What has happened to me? I was taken in from the beginning...and couldn't stop. And I couldn't believe the...um...feelings the book..um...made me feel. I want my husband to listen to it.

And oh yeah, I could probably listen to Robert Petkoff read a dictionary...if he read the way he read this book. :-)

Dayum!!!

I read/listen to a LOT of paranormal romances. So much so, that sometimes they all start to sound alike, blur together and lack... something. Romances in general seem to have gotten so "formula" lately, full of eye-rolling moments and predictable stupid/silly, contrived conflict... But when it's good, it's really good, so I keep reading mediocre to find the "gems."

For me, the Immortals After Dark series is a standout. And probably one of the reasons I keep reading the genre. I'm never disappointed with a Kresley Cole book!

Take this one... It's not only deliciously sexy, but it has an exciting and nail-biting story. And the characters... I not only didn't want to scream at the heroine for being an idiot (well may-be once, but not like most stories I read) but I found the characters interesting, and sympathetic.

The narrator -- Robert Petkoff, who reads all the books in the series so far -- was an acquired taste for me. I didn't know what to think of him initially. I loved his male voices, but hated his female ones... But he's VERY talented at accents and his dramatic reading grew on me. His male voices are incredibly masculine and sexy, which is a huge attraction. But a very male voice trying to sound feminine... *cringe* It's a testament to the story and to the otherwise excellent narration that my annoyance can be mostly forgotten. After an hour or two, when I'm into the story, I hardly notice that the female characters all sound like drag queens. I wonder how much better it would be with a woman narrator reading the female parts.

FYI - I gave this story 4 stars (4.5 to be more exact), which means above average to me. I like to reserve 5 stars for books I think are epic and extra special. (Like Outlander, by Diana Gabaldon.) I give most of the books in my library 3 stars. Enjoyable, but forgettable. The 2 star books have moments, but very few of them, and the 1 star books are downright irritating.

I hunger for more Kresley Cole books on Audible!

Every story in this series is unique, captivating, and erotic as hell! This story includes royals of two different countries, a battle to the death contest to win the princess' hand in marriage, misguided love, attempted murder, and a battle of wills. Overall, a nice edition to the series.

Story VERY GOOD! and the Narrator was DEAD ON with the accents...he had to do many from male to female to scottish to british to back woods voice and it was extremely great to listen to someone that read with sooooo much emotion that maybe the characters did have per the author....Loved it and recommend all of Kresley Cole's stories...but this one was really different and good and NOT predictable...

The Narrator Robert Petkoff DEAD ON with accents!
