I really like the read.

I like how all the caricatures interlock. Interesting how after a thousand years sentiments change. The Gods are surely plotting.

Love!

Love the author, loved the narrator and loved the story. I was captivated the entire time. Money well spent.

Great as always

Another great entry in this series. Kresley Cole is always a delight. And the voice is incredibly soothing.

Love Immortals After Dark!

The whole series is awesome and Robert Petkoff as the narrator makes each character come alive! Cade and Holly (main characters in this book) are among my favorites in the series! You can’t go wrong with any of the IAD books!

My Favorite of the IAD finally in Audio.

The author and narrator both shine in this outing from the Immorttals After Dark series. I think this book just really encapsulated the joy and humor that I love about the series. Robert Petkoff does it again. He brings the naughty Woede to life. I think this is my favorite book from the whole series just because it is so funny and also so very sexy.

Grab these horns and roll!

Seriously, Robert Petkoff should have his own fan-club. He does an absolutely superb job performing this story and I found myself savoring this audiobook like a fine wine. The accents of Cadeon and Ryndstrom are spot on amazing and downright sexy. The way he performs Holly was cute, well-delivered, and not annoying whatsoever--which some male audiobook readers tend to make women. Even the way he performed Groot was hilarious--over the last several novels he's done in this series, he definitely has a honey-sweet way sorcerers speak that he's able to vary but keep on the accent.

Kresley Cole, I've said it before, is amazing. She's able to entwine the steamiest sex scenes and the most high-action climaxes of any author I've ever read. It's so absolutely visual--reading her books is as good as watching a movie with the way she's able to string along our imaginations. There's never a slow moment.

A thing she does really well is her characters--she does not use cookie-cutters. Cadeon is sort of an anti-hero that you're cheering for all the way and Holly is strong, loveable, and hanging onto her sanity by her new-grown claws.

I absolutely cannot wait for the 6th book in the series.

Another Great Book in the IAD series

This series only gets better with each book! Dark Desires After Dusk it the 5th full length book in the Immoratals After Dark series by Kresley Cole, and like many paranormal romance series you COULD read this one without reading the earlier books BUT WHY WOULD you? This series is some much fun and you get to see other characters before and after they find their mate. And you would miss all the hilarious Valkyriev moments.

So Dark Desires After Dusk is about a demon, Cade and a human Holly. Ever since Cade saw Holly he knew she was his mate but since she was only human he's stayed away. Why? Because humans and demons cannot mate. The humans would not make it through the claiming, so Cade has watched over his female from afar. Until....a group of immortals try to kidnap her. That's where everything gets turned upside down.

Cade and Holly embark on a road trip from hell in order to keep her safe. Sexual tension is high and emotions are running wild. Not to mention they everyone wants to kill Holly.

Cole really knows how to write a PNR with humor and high heat levels. And these books are fantasic on audio. Robert Petkoff brings these nutty characters to life. I'm sure I would not laugh as loud if I was reading the books. Robert puts so much dazzle into the Valkyriev women that he has me spitting my drink out at times. And he knows how to make the men with those yummy accents purr. Both the writing and narration for the IAD series is just top notch.

The audios for the series are slowing being released as Robert records them and I can't wait for the next audio, Kiss of a Demon King which releases May 7, 2013.

Loved it! The Audiobook was well worth the wait!

Any additional comments?

I have read the print of this book several times and could not wait for the Audiobook...well worth the wait! I loved it! Robert Petkoff did an excellent job of bringing Cadeon to life. The accent was perfect. I am already looking forward to the next one!

My Favorite So Far!
