Publisher's summary

Number-one New York Times best-selling author Kresley Cole continues her electrifying Immortals After Dark series with this thrilling tale, revealing secrets of the Lore, fierce realm of the immortals....

All fear the enemy of old.

Driven by his insatiable need for revenge, Lothaire, the Lore’s most ruthless vampire, plots to seize the Horde’s crown. But bloodlust and torture have left him on the brink of madness - until he finds Elizabeth Peirce, the key to his victory. He captures the unique young mortal, intending to offer up her very soul in exchange for power, yet Elizabeth soothes his tormented mind and awakens within him emotions Lothaire believed he could no longer experience.

A deadly force dwells within her.

Growing up in desperate poverty, Ellie Peirce yearned for a better life, never imagining she’d be convicted of murder - or that an evil immortal would abduct her from death row. But Lothaire is no savior, as he himself plans to sacrifice Ellie in one month’s time. And yet the vampire seems to ache for her touch, showering her with wealth and sexual pleasure. In a bid to save her soul, Ellie surrenders her body to the wicked vampire, while vowing to protect her heart.

Centuries of cold indifference shattered.

Elizabeth tempts Lothaire beyond reason, as only his fated mate could. As the month draws to a close, he must choose between a millennia-old blood vendetta and his irresistible prisoner. Will Lothaire succumb to the miseries of his past - or risk everything for a future with her?

good story

Would you consider the audio edition of Lothaire to be better than the print version?

yes because I can listen while I do other things. Reading requires me to stop what I am doing and concentrate on the story. I am an avid reader so this frees up a lot of my time to complete other tasks. Also it is nice to have the option to listen in bed and lull off to sleep.

What other book might you compare Lothaire to and why?

Maybe others in the series, I have not read other books quite like Lothaire aside from the others in the series and I read vampire novels all the time.

What does Robert Petkoff bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

The accents, more dramatization, clear expressiveness.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Most audiobooks I listen to all the way, like I said I can do other things while listening. I find it much more entertaining that tv.

LOVED it

another great audio book. loved it and will most likely listen to it again for sure.

AAA+ READ

Loved this book. It kept me interested the whole way through. The narration was fantastic. I just really enjoyed the story in this book and the characters. I have actually re-listened to it. I also enjoy that other characters from this series, (valkery) are brought into it, i especially liked getting another side to nix the all seeing valkery. Overall, if you enjoy this series you will really enjoy lothaire. Only disapointment, no other books after this one YET>

I liked how he suprised us with his since of humor. Never really expected it from that big bad vampire.

When the Valkyrie cheered Elizabelth's brassy gift of her middle finger to Lothaire after he sent her his black heart as a gift.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

When he finally got it! Thick headed man!

Any additional comments?

I dont' have time to read. I wish the whole series was available in audible.

Love Kresley Cole, but not the male antagonist

Okay, just so you know, I'm a huge Kresley Cole fan. Love her work. ** very small spoiler alert coming up **

That being said, gosh, it's Lothaire that's just a non-stop airse hole to the heroine. Being an easy going feminist, nothing crazy, it's hard to take.

And...normally I really like the narrator Robert Petkoff, but his take on Lothaire somehow sounds like Arnold Schwarzenegger. That really yanks you out of the story when he talks. I can't completely recommend this book, but can totally recommend her others and the Arcana Chronicles. Man, that series is the best! tags --> #hmm, #Violent, #Depressing, #tagsgiving, #sweepstakes
