Wicked Abyss Volume 18

By: Kresley Cole

Narrated by: Robert Petkoff

This fairy tale doesn’t end with a kiss in this spellbinding Immortals After Dark tale from #1 New York Times bestselling author Kresley Cole!

The terrifying king of hell...

As a boy, Abyssian “Sian” Infernas had his heart shattered by a treacherous fey beauty who died before he could exact vengeance. Millennia later, a curse has transformed him into a demonic monster—just as she’s been reincarnated. Sian captures the delicate but bold female, forcing her back to hell.

Meets his match.

Princess Calliope “Lila” Barbot’s people have hated and feared Abyssian and his alliance of monsters for aeons. When the beastly demon imprisons her in his mystical castle, vowing revenge for betrayals she can’t remember, Lila makes her own vow: to bring down the wicked beast for good.

Can two adversaries share one happily-ever-after?

As Calliope turns hell inside out, the all-powerful Sian finds himself defenseless against his feelings for her. In turn, Lila reluctantly responds to the beast’s cleverness and gruff vulnerability. But when truths from a far distant past are revealed, can their tenuous bond withstand ages of deceit, a curse, and a looming supernatural war?

Beauty and the Beast.

What a great story. I have always been a fan of the beauty and the beast story and this is a great twist added to one of my favorite series. I couldn't wait to listen to it and it paid off. I hope Kresley Cole never stops writing this series. I laughed so hard when Lila pulled here first trick on Sian. I loved this world before when Lanthe and Thronos were stuck in it and now I love it even more. There wasn't a lot of action in this book, but it has a lot of mischief and that really brought the story to life. And as usual Robert Petkoff is awesome.

THIS WAS STEEEEEEEEEAMING HOT!

I think this may have been Kresley Cole's hottest IAD book so far! WICKED ABYSS had all the usual suspects--humor, sex, and action--but the sexiness factor was through the roof. The narration was excellent as usual. Petkoff really gets into it, but can be a bit one-note on the female characterizations, but overall, he's a keeper. I found the storyline very interesting because I like the demon-lore more so than the vampires, and the fairies are always fun. The only negative I see with this series, is the span of time between each book. I could be wrong, but it felt like more than a year since the last IAD book. I had to try and recall characters, mates, bloodlines, and who had what objective in the series--it was a lot! Despite that, I will always be a devout Kresley Cole IAD follower. If you're looking for hot and hilarious paranormal romance, you've got to get this series today. This was well worth a credit and five steaming hot stars.

loved it!

Ms. Cole did it again. I loved both characters...matching both in witt and charm. A sexy demon indeed!

First time reading this author/series

I loved this book!!!! I purchased it on a sale for "thrillers" so I was not expecting what I got. A demon, a fey princess, seriously????? there was romance, comedy, heartbreak, this was freaking perfect. I will start the entire series soon.

Perfectly Kresley...

I really enjoy Kresley Cole's books... this one is fantastic. The story is fleshed out very well. will develop characters and a rich storyline... Another couldn't put it down book.
