Demon From the Dark, the next installment in The Immortals After Dark Series by author Kresley Cole hit bookstores this week. If you don't know how much I enjoy this author you can find my previous reviews on past books below. :)
Cole is an amazing story teller, period. She creates a world so vivid and entertaining it leaves you wanting more and fast! Action, romance, great dialog, exciting adventures, funny humor and just all around entertainment. What more could a girl ask for?
Plot to this book as follows:
City girl Carrow is a free spirited gal who loves to party like a rockstar, enjoys a wicked time with her girls causing mayhem. She meets -hottie with a naughty body- cavemen (literally) Malkom who's from another world, brute beast with a few trust issues. Ok, understatement of the year! He trusts no one, but in his defense he definitely has his reasons. Poor guy. :( Can two so different fall in love? Can he learn to trust?
The beginning of this book had a "me Tarzan - you Jane" feel going on, and yeah that story has been done a time or two before but NEVER like this. Book gives you a few updates on characters from previous stories including some new ones that are on the way; more build up! Ugh. Why cant the books come out weeks apart instead of months....*crying like a baby*
I personally would have enjoyed a little more Nix, but thats because she is one of my favorite characters. Regin's plot thickens a bit more, another classic line from her that unfortunately I can't put here due to it's... ummmm semi-graphic nature. lol pg. 291 ;)
A funny excerpt from the book:
"Is it the military?"
Nix narrowed her eyes at Mari. "Define military."
"You know, solider, army, et cetera."
Nix squinted again. "Define army."
"At least tell me if they're human!"
"Define- "
"Shut it, Nix!"
This book is a must read! :)

This book consumed me-devoured it in 4 hrs!
ReplyDeleteI actually found the nix scenes not as classic as her others ones. They were almost a little too forced like Kresely was trying too hard instead of them just being funny. But I gotta agree that I love that one-liner from Regin!
ReplyDelete@ Anonymous I think maybe Cole is saving Nix dialog for up coming books, not wanting to over play her? I dunno. Regin is a hoot! I dig that chick, who wouldn't want a BFF like her? lol
ReplyDeleteThanks for the comments folks, keep em comin. :)
ummm so there was a lil typo on the end part of this blog. I don't know if anyone caught it but my apologies if u did.
ReplyDeleteAll fixed now! ;)
I liked the book. I did miss Nix. I can't wait until her book comes out. I wish they could've shown some Valkyrie and Witch interaction. They're funny. I found Malkom to be sweet and I'm ready for the next installment of the series. I can't wait to meet Kresly Cole in person next month at FEVERCON.
ReplyDeleteJealous! You're going to Fevercon? *crying* So lucky......tell me how it is please. :)
