Fantasy Dreamer's Ramblings

I finished the Immortals After Dark series by Kresley Cole last night. By finished I mean, I have read all books in the series up to Kiss of a Demon King.

I loved this series, it was fast paced. Every novel unique with it's own story line but tied nicely into each other stories. As you moved through the books, you get glimpse of how the characters from the previous books are fairing in the new lives together. Ms. Cole has build a sexy world of mystical characters that belong to the Lore. The Lore has beings such as Lykae, Vampires, Valkyrie, Demons, Nymphs, Phantoms, Sirens and more. These novels are full of very passionate sex, much a bunch of action and mysterious intrigues. If you like the alpha male and witty, intelligent heroine type of book, these are definitely it.

Here are links to book excerpts on Kresley Cole's web site and my ramblings:
