 Who knew demons could be so HOT! July 1, 2008

Kresley Cole has managed to deliver another spectacular book. I started with the first book Hunger like No Other, and was totally hooked from there. She is currently my favorite author.
Anyway, to the specifics of the book.
Cade has been an intriguing character for a couple books now and it is great to get to know him. I also like the development of Holly. The best thing Ms. Cole does is character development. I like that she makes them something other, while at the same time giving them fun quirks, great personalities and deep emotions, therefore helping us relate to them.
The other thing I love about her books is the fast pace of the story. This one was true to that theme taking off in chapter one and not letting me put my book down until the last page. And the only reason I put it down then is because I'm out of pages. The next story has already been set up and I cannot wait to read Cade's brother's story.
Couldn't Put This Book Down - Even For Dinner! June 27, 2008

I basically stumbled onto author Kresley Cole over here at Amazon. A few of my fellow supernatural romance lovers recommended her first book in the Immortals After Dark series -- and after coming off of a JR Ward high -- I was willing to try something new -- anything.
Was I pleasantly surprised.
Dark Desires After Dusk is another great mixture of supernatural characters, action, suspense, romance, and a great alpha main character. I loved the plot in this one - and it made for great intense reading one Saturday night.
I even skipped dinner and had my hubby go out for take-out!
Bottom line -- you don't need me to reiterate the plot details for you about this book, just get it! In fact grab the whole series. This is one author who never disappoints.
LOVED THIS STORY SOOOO MUCH!!!!!!!!! June 25, 2008
OMG!!! This book was great. Kresley writes the best stories with the best characters. Her male characters are the stuff of our best dark dreams. I couldn't even imagine guys his cool or this hot. The love scenes make me want to jump my husband so he gets a bonus from these stories too. I can't wait for the next books. I'm hooked.

I've been reading this series in the hopes of finding another in this genre that is as good as Sherrilyn Kenyon's. So far, no gold. I'm not saying that these books are bad, but they just don't move me emotionally. Whereas I read Kenyon's books over & over, I don't think I'll ever read any of The Immortals more than once. They're an entertaining read, but I don't connect with the characters on more than the level of mild interest. The background of this series is very entertaining with the whole angle of The Lore & all the Immortals battling back & forth & interacting, but their romances are just not working for me. I'd rather read these books with the story focused on the machinations & political maneuverings of the various Immortal groups rather than going through the whole hackneyed thing where a tortured alpha male finds his true love & she redeems him in spite of herself. The sex scenes aren't entrancing or romantic in any of these books--they read more like something from Penthouse's letters section. I think less graphic sex and more emotional involvement might be the key. So, with this book I once again enjoyed the stuff going on around the hero & heroine, but didn't connect with them much and didn't much care if they ever got together. So I'd say to go ahead and read it and then donate it to the library's book sale if you didn't buy it there in the first place.
