Dark Desires After Dusk Immortals After Dark Book 5 Kresley Cole 9781416576754 Books Reviews

It was a good read. I'm not sure why, but Cade was my lease favourite of the Lore folk to date. Well, him and Will. His story really bugged me too.

Cole always blows my expectations out of the water, but this book just didn't ring my bells like the others. But thems the breaks. It was a good read, and as always I loved that Cole kept to her usual flare and style of writing. We get to see Ryndstrom and Sabine, and as always the ever foxy proto-valkyrie Nix!

I really love this series and this book kept me enthralled from beginning to end.

*Spoilers* (not that you wouldn't know if you have read Ryndstroms book)

I kind of liked that Cade got Holly knocked up. I mean, kids are always something that get mentioned in almost every IAD novel, but are thought of in future terms, which I normally appreciate, as it gives the couple time to be just that... a couple. But in this book, Cole chose to go a different route and have Holly be pregos, which I suppose is apropos considering she's a vessel and all but hey.

Overall, a great read. Keeps you interested from the first page!
How can one not enjoy anything written by this awesome author. Such a wonderful series and Dark Desires After Dusk just a great addition.

Cade is on a mission, get the vessel to the sorcerer that will give him a sword, that will be able to kill the all powerful sorcerer that is on his brothers throne. Sounds pretty easy, just remember the old saying nothing is worth having if it comes easy.

Holly is bright and intelligent, sheltered and distinct in her personality and needs. Her OCD sometimes gets a tight grip on her. She adopted and never knew her mother but always the adored daughter of the Ashwin's. Holly worked hard and kept her life very simple, because of the past she is always very careful about her emotions.

After her remedial class was cancelled, Holly got an up close and personal view of things she only thought was a myth. The supposed non existing creatures were after her, she had a huge sexy demon protecting her. The prim and proper little miss Holly's world will never be the same.

Got to love Nix...she just freaking rocks!

Enjoy the story and the characters that wonderfully mesh into a book that keeps you entertained. Recommended... Enjoy
You can’t say I’m not persistent. Even if it does take me forever to get anywhere. Sarah and I started this buddy read back in 2014, in anticipation of the release of Book 15…in August of that year, I read Book 3. In February of this year, I read Book 4. Now it’s only December and I’ve re-read book 6! Woot! Progress! Maybe we can actually get caught up in time for the release of Book 18…

So, I think by now it’s fairly clear that I like these books despite quite a few things that would normally make me rage. I can’t even tell you why they don’t here. But they don’t.

These characters can do horrible things to each other, seriously, beyond the pale kind of things. Betrayal, lies, big misunderstandings…doesn’t even touch the tip of the iceberg. I’m not kidding. If you’ve made it this far and think the things that these beings do to their mates is outrageous….you’ve not seen anything yet.

I’ve been trying to figure out for years why these books don’t push my buttons like some others with (far less) provocation. I’m not sure I have a good answer yet. But I can say that the absolutely impossible and extenuating circumstances that Kresley Cole puts her characters in helps a more than a little. The circumstances don’t excuse the treatment, but I can understand the position that they’re in. And even if I couldn’t forgive it, I can understand how the other character can. Which makes it easier for me to not hold it against them.

By the end of every single one of these books I’m left happy for the couple. Regardless, or maybe because of, all the pain, trauma, deceit and conflict that’s come before.

And I feel like I start every one of these book reviews off talking about the series in general. Maybe because it’s such a consistent and long series and I consistently have the same amazement and feelings while reading it. And despite me not waxing poetic about it for paragraph upon paragraph here, you can trust that the world and plotting in this series are as amazing as ever.

I noticed while reading this time that I’d forgotten nearly everything that happened. I think this is as close as I’m ever going to get to reading this series for the first time again. And I adored that. I was just as caught up in the trouble, and the drama, and the growing conflict this time as I know I was last time. I didn’t know how they were going to get out of it, how they were going to stay together, and I was rooting for any way except the way that was sure to cause the most pain.

Sometimes there are no good paths.

But Holly and Cade manage despite it all. Let me talk about Holly for a moment. I adore her. She’s a geek and a nerd, plain and simple. Additionally, she’s got OCD – the real thing (though hers isn’t as bad as I know some people have to live with), not the thing the majority of us call when we have to be incredibly well organized. And I love how it’s a real part of her life, and not brushed aside as either debilitating or ridiculous. I think it’s handled with a fair amount of care. And that does create a bit of a problem for me. Holly doesn’t lose all of her ticks and tendencies, but her OCD does pretty much go away after she stops suppressing her Valkyrie side (which is why her OCD manifested in the first place apparently). I like that it’s not completely gone, and even at the end she still likes things in multiples of three and has her need for certain things to be the way she’s always needed them to be. So maybe it’s not a case of it disappearing all together, but that it’s not the consuming part of her life it was previously. It definitely “gets better” by any standard. While it’s not like I wanted her to suffer forever or anything, I hate the idea that everything has to be “cured.” So….I’m not sure I’d have done anything differently, but it’s always kind of niggled at me.

Cade. Damn, I have conflicting emotions about Cade. Much like Holly herself in this book. He’s a chauvinist. And I hate that about him. But at the same time he’s never truly disrespectful to women or females. He has a ton of respect for women of the Lore and their abilities to protect themselves, fight, and kick ass. And he never tries to rule Holly’s life. He just says some incredibly stupid stuff. He’s also completely considerate, kind, and thoughtful. He knows Holly has troubles with food that’s been prepared or unpackaged. So he takes her to dinner and accounts for it. She can’t have the lips of the water bottles be touched or she can’t drink it. When he learns of this, he just opens another bottle for her, ensuring that there’s no transference. There’s never any disgust or making fun. There’s no judgement whatsoever. He just does what he can to make her life easier and more manageable. And he teaches her to fight. Plus he tries, really, really tries, to do what’s right.

The choice on what’s right isn’t always an easy one though.

And I think that’s another thing I love about this series. They make me think critically. This world isn’t black and white, it’s not good versus bad. It’s all shades of grey and variables and a million different choices and decisions that bring about a single course of action. The complexity makes my brain hurt sometimes, and I can’t wait to dive into the next one.
This. Is easily my favorite book in the series along with the book about Neomi and Conrad Wroth.
I love both books
