 Hmm another winner. January 7, 2009
SB (Palmdale, CA)
Cadeon is super sexy and likes to play devilish games. I never knew what a demon was except for the Christian version until I started reading her books. There are a lot of paranormal characters that I'd never heard of but I like them. It's interesting. I was pretty much a vampire/werewolf type of girl but now my horizons are expanding.

This KC favorite is about Cade who is a rage demon and finds Holly who is his chosen female. The guts of the book are about Cade fighting with himself because in order to save his brother's crown he has to give over his woman (Holly) to a sorcerer who will help get his brother's crown back but wants to impregnate her with the ultimate evil.
Holly, though KC did a great job of developing her character and giving us a firm understanding of who and what she is, she really annoyed me. I tried to like her, I tried to picture being her, I just didn't want to be in her shoes at all (except for the getting to be with Cade thing). She was a very weak excuse for a heroin. She has OCD and whined about things touching her water.
This is a 4 star book simply because of Cade. I love him, he is hot, tough and funny. Some of the things that come out of his mouth are crude, rude, and absolutely hilarious.
I would highly recommend this book based on the characters (though Holly annoyed me, you had a firm understanding of her), and the surrounding unconventional love story was really good. So far in this series KC has not disappointed me.

I have loved all her books, read several times, did NOT like book 4. Was worried I wouldn't like this one. Read it in two days. Loved the quirkiness of Holly, made her so believable and Cade was hilarious. I also love Cole's world of the Lore, can't get enough of it. Love that Nix!
 Dark Desires Will Overcome Your Senses November 9, 2008

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. As a matter of fact, it went by too fast. I had been captivated with Cade since Wicked Deeds on a Winter's Night, and I was holding my breath for his book. But the wait was richly rewarded. Holly is a perfect heroine for him. She brings out the protective side in Cade, but also the playful side. And if anyone needs to live a little, it's Holly. I loved the whole plotline and found it wildly romantic. This book was also a good action book with scenes that show that Holly is a powerful woman in her own right. I just adore Cade, even more then I did before. He is sexy beyond belief, and very funny also. I loved his devotion to Holly, and how he challenged her but cared for her at the same time. It was great to see Holly come into the woman she was meant to be. She learns that it is a good thing to trust one's instincts as well as one's intellect. She also learns to acknowledge her sensual nature, and what better teacher than Cade. Cade and Holly had some serious chemistry, but there was also a deep emotional connection. This book just further increased my love of this series. With each book, I more eagerly await more books in the Immortals After Dark series. Kresley Cole's imagination is incredible, teamed with some excellent research. So I end by saying, take this ride wild, but you might want a cold drink and a fan while you read it."
Holly and Cadeon November 7, 2008
T. Patterson (usa)
Cadeon is determined to atone for the biggest mistake of his life and will stop at nothing to do this. When he obtaines the key to his redemption, in the form of a halfling by the name of Holly, Cade figures out that the one woman he thought he could use and then discard is haunting him as much as his past mistakes. Holly was raised as a human and never knew that some stories are real. She discovers that demons really do exist and that the brutal demon that begins to lead her on a quest to avoid her transformation to immortality is going to end up with her heart. As she is pushed into the immortal world of legends, with a demon that seems determined to protect her, she starts to enjoy the world around her and the family she never knew existed. Can Cade use Holly to make up for his past mistakes? Or will he keep what he considers his?
***Kresley has done it again. The IMMORTALS AFTER DARK series continues with this tale of a ruthless demon and beautiful halfling. Cade's story was great, almost as good as Bowe's story. I highly recommend this book and I am looking for more in this series. I find it amazing that Kresley's imagination allows her to continue with this series without becoming redundant. I do recommend that you read this series in order so you don't miss out on some good surprises.
