An immortal assassin is caught between desire and duty in this sizzling new novel from Kresley Cole’s #1 New York Times bestselling Immortals After Dark series.
A foundling raised in a world of humans
Growing up, orphaned Josephine didn’t know who or what she was—just that she was “bad,” an outcast with strange powers. Protecting her baby brother Thaddeus became her entire life. The day he was taken away began Jo’s transition from angry girl…to would-be superhero…to enchanting villain.
A lethally sensual enforcer on a mission
Whether by bow or in bed, archer Rune the Baneblood never fails to eliminate his target. In his sights: the oldest living Valkyrie. Yet before he can strike, he encounters a vampiric creature whose beauty mesmerizes him. With one bite, she pierces him with aching pleasure, stealing his forbidden blood—and jeopardizing the secrets of his brethren.
A boundless passion that will lead to sweet ruin…
Could this exquisite female be a spy sent by the very Valkyrie he hunts? Rune knows he must not trust Josephine, yet he’s unable to turn her away. When Jo betrays the identity of the one man she will die to protect, she and Rune become locked in a treacherous battle of wills that pits ultimate loyalty against unbridled lust.
I must say after the last book in this series I was a little hesitate to read this one. But Ms. Cole restored my faith with this one. I liked that we learn about Josephine as she does and that this book brings a whole new cast of players to this series. Rune and his compatriots are going to be an interesting addition to these stories. . I am most looking forward to see how this plays out and am hoping to get Nix's story but sincerely hoping that that won't be the end of this series.. I've been reading these stories for almost as long as they've been out and thinking about the end is bittersweet.. But we aren't there yet. I can't wait to see what else the Accession holds in the coming stories.
This book has it all action, adventure, love and smexy times. This was a darn enjoyable read and i am so looking forward to next read and am impatient for it. I give this one 5 stars and I bought it with my own money.
In this highly anticipated fifteenth novel in the Immortals After Dark series, #1 New York Timesbestselling author Kresley Cole spins a sultry tale of a mighty warrior scarred inside and out and the beguiling sorceress with the power to heal him—or vanquish him forever.
Eternal Obsession As a boy, Thronos, prince of Skye Hall, loved Lanthe, a mischievous Sorceri girl who made him question everything about his Vrekener clan. But when the two got caught in the middle of their families’ war, tragedy struck, leaving Thronos and Lanthe bitter enemies. Though centuries have passed, nothing can cool his seething need for the beautiful enchantress who scarred his body—and left an even deeper impression on his soul.
Endless Yearning Lanthe, a once-formidable sorceress struggling to reclaim her gifts, searches for love and acceptance with all the wrong immortal suitors. But she’s never forgotten Thronos, the magnificent silver-eyed boy who protected her until she was ripped from the shelter of his arms. One harrowing night changed everything between them. Now he’s a notorious warlord with a blood vendetta against Lanthe, hunting her relentlessly.
Can the heat of desire burn brighter than vengeance?With their families locked in conflict and battles raging all around them, will Thronos and Lanthe succumb to the brutal chaos that threatens everything they cherish? Or will the fragile bond they formed so long ago spark a passion strong enough to withstand even the darkest doubts?
This is one of my favorite series but this book was not my favorite book in that series. I kept wanting Lanthe to totally kick his ass. His attitude about her having sex with other guys before they were together was awful. But she did make him pay for that. And he does sort get better in the end but still he behaved like an ass in most of this story. Their back story was very sad and I didn't know if they'd ever get together and then when I thought they were good others got involved and it all went to hell again. But I must say the end of this book was a good ending for these two. And I am so looking forward to the next book to see where things go.
I give this book a 4 stars because even though i didn't like the male character that much I liked Lanthe and this world. Also I bought this book with my own money and all opinions are my own.
