Customer Reviews
What a match
In this installment of Kresley Cole’s immortals after dark series, we have the pleasure of meeting Chloe Todd, a professional soccer player, unwitting immortal, and mate to the hottest lykae in Louisiana.
Uilleam MacRieve is damaged. After years of abuse as a child and his imprisonment in the Orders island prison he is ready to call it quits. But then Chloe is thrust into his world.
Can he overcome years of hatred and love an enemy?
Kresely Cole doesn’t disappoint. You love and hate each of the main characters as the story proceeds. Chloe is tough, sometimes to her detriment. MacRieve is bitter and always right. Watching each of them overcome and grow is amazing.
Always amazing
Rivals all the others , steamy , exciting , sad, breathless and sexy . Love this series !!!!!
Ending Rushed, Hard to suspend disbelief
I reread this in anticipation of Munro coming out in a few months. Some of the scenes and dialogue really pulled me out of the moment. Overall I enjoyed the book but it didn’t give me the same satisfaction as others in the IAD series.
[Spoilers below]
The characters are hard to like and the relationship is abusive on its face. But if you can get past all that, there’s an intriguing story about healing and forgiveness and prejudice.
I’ve waited 7 years for the cliffhanger ending to continue and I’m hoping I like Munro’s story more but I’m having my doubts as these MacReive men seem to have issues with consent.
