I love the world that Kresley Cole has created in her Immortals After Dark Series. The world of Lore filled with fey, werewolves, ghosts, demons, women strong, tortured and violent as the men with witty, pop culture dialogue…and incredibly hot smoking steaming scenes. She takes us through vivid journeys that even though your sane brain tells you…no not possible….the impossible become possible!!!!
Demon from the Dark is one of the most touching and poignant stories I have read in the series so far.
The Order, a group of evil and cruel humans, whose aim is to destroy and kill all immortals, has kidnapped Carrow Graie, a witch who hides her pain and sorrow behind a party-animal life is forced to cross to another realm and bring back Malkom Slaine, a ruthless half-demon, half-vampire or they will kill someone close to her.
Malkom is such a tormented, lonely alpha hero. As a small child, his prostitute mother had sold him as a blood slave to a vampire, where he was abused and tortured repeatedly and after escaping, became a warrior fighting vampires. After all the betrayals, torture and forced to kill his best friend, he flees to a desert wasteland, where he has lived in isolation for thousands of years, forgetting how to speak and trying to keep alive to continue his vengeance against those you want him dead. On the verge of losing his sanity he discovers a beautiful, green-eyed woman that touches his heart and he realizes she is his mate and will never let her go. He will give his life for hers.
Carrow is at first terrified of this dirty looking, huge monster but after he takes her to his cave home, where he shows her such tenderness and kindness, her feelings begin to change.
Both feel something deep and profound for each other. Their chemistry is unmistakable. I loved the scenes where he watches her bathing in an amazing rock pool deep in the cave….wow…it’s a pretty steamy scene. And when she cuts his hair and washes him, so touching…I could almost feel Malkom’s wonder and what he was feeling….such a long time since anyone had touched him, shown him any tenderness.
The build-up to Carrow and Malkom escaping the realm was taut, nail-biting.
Malkom is one of my favorite heroes….honorable, passionate, caring and loving and nothing means more to him than protecting Carrow and her niece Ruby…he will do anything for them, even dying for them.
Such extraordinary characters…..love the way the author gets us to meet up again with characters from previous books and meeting new ones that will lead to their own books.
Please do yourself a favor…….READ THIS BOOK. It will touch your heart!!!!
Kresley Cole, you are amazing and I thank you for sharing this world with me…….
