What is Dark Desires After Dusk by Kresley Cole all about?
Demon mercenary Cadeon Woede is tasked with delivering halfling Holly Ashwin to secure his redemption, but she’s his fated mate. As they race through a dangerous paranormal world, lust ignites and loyalties are tested. Fated mates, betrayal, and irresistible tension collide in Dark Desires After Dusk by Kresley Cole, the 6th steamy installment of Immortals After Dark.
What Makes Cadeon Worth the Hype?
Dark Desires After Dusk by Kresley Cole is the first demon book in the Immortals After Dark series. And you might know how I like demon horns. And the infamous horn job! LOL
Cadeon is the sexy, funny and carefree demon we met in Wicked Deeds on a Winter’s Night. He has known that his mate is Holly for a while now, but she’s human, and he can’t claim her because she will not survive it. So he’s stayed away, but he’s constantly watched her.
A Standout Heroine in the Immortals After Dark World
Holly is a bit of a geek, has some difficulties dealing with real life, and has a huge case of OCD!!!!! It can get a bit frustrating while reading, but it also makes for some very funny moments. And there’s always the fact that Cadeon has to get her out of her buttoned-up shell.
And, oh, did I mention that she’s a virgin?!?!? But a very curious one at that??? And our sexy demon is not shy AT ALL to let her explore and satisfy her curiosity. As my thoughts drift to that patch of blond hair trailing down and disappearing into his jeans.
Except now Holly is not human anymore, she is part Valkyrie, and she is the Vessel, a very important part of the Ascension. And everybody wants her because they want to get her pregnant. Her child will be a very important part of the battle.
We do get to see Nucking Futs Nix! As always I adore her! She’s so funny! And always on target even in her crazy ways. Always has a purpose. Rydstrom was also supposed to be part of this adventure, but “something” happens to him and he …. can’t make it! Oh boy… setting up the next book perfectly!
Steam, Humor, and Stakes: A Perfect Blend
If you’re reading through the Immortals After Dark series in order, Dark Desires After Dusk delivers on both steam and story. With fated mates, a reluctant hero, and a heroine discovering her powers, it’s a must-read for paranormal romance fans who love a little chaos with their chemistry.
