Dark Desires After Dusk (The Immortals After Dark, Book 5)

I agree with the other "meh" review. This one isn't as good as Kresley's others...in my opinion..even though it is in the minority here. Sometimes I think people who dislike a book, just don't take time to write a review so sometimes the ratings are skewed a bit...

You know how sometimes you read a great book and you feel as though the characters are visiting and you don't want them to leave....well, I had Cade's and Holly's bags packed the minute I finished the book (which I had to make myself do)...

Not very strong back story, diluted dialogue, characters I couldn't really bond with, too agonizing slow, too much descriptive "wanting" of each other controlling the pace....

I'll definitely be waiting for the next one though....there is always one book in a series that isn't the strongest..

So long Holly and Cade...

I was going to give up on Kresley cole because I wanted Nucking Futs Nix to fall in love with Crazy Conrad Wroth because they are both crazy and I wanted Murdoch to fall in love with Regan because he was said to be a beserker...but this book kind of got to me with Cade being so understanding and nice to the girl. And at the end where he would do anything to get her back...it is great.

I have been reading romance novels since I was 15, so a good 20 years now. In my mind nothing like a cup of tea and a good romance novel to escape and unwind at the end of a day.
Just to give a sample of my taste, other authors I enjoy are: Jen Holling, Connie Brockway, Johanna Lindsey, Julie Garwood, Christina Dodd, just to name a few.

This entire series is such a page turner. I had a hard time putting any of the titles down. More evenings than I care to admit I stayed up way to late "just to read one more chapter".

You can feel from the beginning how Cade yearns for Holly. It's like a love that can never work... until fate if you will throws a curve and maybe just maybe there is a chance. Of course first he has to figure out how to trick the the crazy crafty wizard, get the sword and still keep his true love. Hum... well all in a days work. I wanted Cade to find love after reading about him in Wicked Deeds on a Winters Night. I was happy to see him getting his own story and to see that it was a human of all things that first caught his eye. Very great story. At the end I cried for Holly. That feeling of utter betrayal she was feeling really just jumped off the page at you. Great great read!

I enjoyed the glimpse of supporting characters so you felt that any of them would be enjoyable to read about in their own series. I'd love to see crazy Nix find love of her own LOl. The entire series is fast and there is not a lot of review of what happened in a prior book. You open the book and off you go. These are not slow moving. I laughed, I cried, I blushed. Boy Ms. Cole writes some steamy scenes. Wow! And I am amazed that nothing repeats. Each book is so different, the plots are so different and the way the main characters relate is so different. Yes they do all have hansom men and lovely ladies. But the dynamic relationship between the main characters is simply fire from page 1 to the end. Out of all my years reading romance. I have never read modern romance before. I can say without a doubt that these are the best romance books I have read and that is truly saying a lot considering how many authors works sit on my shelf.

I love Kresley but oh boy did I have a hard time getting through this one. It felt very rushed but sorta slow at the same time... make any sense? And the story just wasn't that interesting. I found I didn't really care what happened to the characters either unlike Kresley's other books.

I LOVE KRESLEY COLE'S IMMORTALS AFTER DARK SERIES. THEY ARE ALL GREAT BOOKS THAT LEAVE YOU WAITING FOR THE NEXT ONE!!
