Serpent's Kiss by Thea HarrisonMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Serpent’s Kiss is the 3rd book in Thea Harrison’s Elder Races Series and is the story of Vampyre Queen Carling Severan and Wyr sentinel Rune Ainissesthai
In the last book, Storm's Heart, Carling saved Tiago's life at Rune request with the understanding that he would owe her a favor in the future. And the time has now come. Carling's power is slowly fading and the signs are that she is dying. Rune agrees to help her find a cure for the serpent's kiss, the disease that is killing her.
Carling turned out to be totally different to what I was expecting. In the last book, she was a total b...tch!!! Cold and unfeeling!!
But we get to see the real Carling here, not the face she shows the world. I liked finding out a bit about her past and how she became a vampire.
I adored Rune from the first time he was introduced. He's a total alpha male, kick
ass but with a tender side to him. His love for Carling was unwavering and he's not prepared to let her die....
One of the things I liked in this story is how much time the two spend together, getting to know each other......
The interaction, the sexual chemistry and banter between them is fabulous....
“’Don’t worry, darling Carling,’ he said. ‘I won’t let you fall.’
Darling Carling. She found herself grinning. What a truly awful endearment. Only he could pull off something so ridiculous.”

“’Are you purring at me?’
‘I might be,’ Rune said. His deep voice was rougher, and lazy with intimacy. ‘Unless you’ve done something wrong. Then I’m growling at you again.’”
And I absolutely loved the scenes with Carling and her dog....and her cooking meals for it!!!! Total blast!!!
We get to see some of the characters from the previous books....which made me very happy!! We also get more of Khalil, the Dijnn and Grace, who are going to be in the next book, Oracle's Moon.
I can't wait!!!
I am becoming a total addict for this series and I'm only on book 3!!!
