Dark Desires After Dusk (Immortals After Dark Book 6)

Even with some of my favorite paranormal romance series, an author gets to a point where she can't really improve upon her past books or continue to bring anything new or interesting to the table. I figured that it was mostly a consequence of the heavy demand and tight schedules, but Kresley Cole proves that it can be done! I absolutely loved Cadeon and Holly's story, and enjoyed every last page.

Most of this series have been great and earned spots on my keeper shelf, but this book has to be my favorite so far. There are so many layers to the story, all skillfully interwoven. A Valkyrie halfling with OCD tendencies is flung together with a roguish demon mercenary, and the combination really works. Unlike so many paranormals with the whole 'fated mate' plot device, this one actually works - the characterizations and relationship are so well done, as well as the balance between subplots and secondary characters with the main story.

I could rave about this book, but I'll refrain. :) All I'll say is don't miss this book if you're a fan of the genre or this author!

Simply put, this book is a fantastic addition to the series, probably my favorite so far. Cade and Holly are the most unlikely pair I've ever met -- Cade with his frat-house sloppiness and Holly with her compulsion for an ordered life. They are an endearing pair and it's funny to watch as Holly loosens up (reluctantly), and Cade becomes more personally responsible.

Of special note (to me, at least), is Ms. Cole's skillful handling of dialogue. The verbal interaction between these two is among the best I've ever read, ranging from funny to serious to downright poignant.

Five stars all the way.

This probably has been my favorite so far. I have listened to it twice. Cade and Holly are so funny. Their smart remarks back and forth to eachother had me LOL several times! I will probably listen to this one again.

Definetly love this installment in the series. It's really good a demon and his OCD female its certainly different. I really like the fact that she's not a typical heroine, she has her own idiosyncracies etc. it makes her unique...on to book 6

k.cole has written another romantic, passionate love story . The Woede brothers are very attractive ,strong and all heroes. They are founding very interesting brides ,for now Holly .I'm waiting for the next adventure , possibly Rydstrom's.
