This will contain, what I deem to be, minor spoilers.
This is my favorite series - absolutely no question. I would rate the majority of the books in this series as 5-stars, with the secondary majority 4-stars. In the case of this one - I think the anticipation had my hopes up too high. I mean, let's review: We "witnessed" Thronos dragging Lanthe off in Demon From the Dark, never to be seen again - until this book. I read DFTD the day it was released, so that occurred four years and four books ago! So when I finally got this one, I all but devoured it in one day. And it is a good book - I have high expectations for her books in general, but after such a long wait, the bar was set pretty high for this one. But Ms. Cole delivers with this series and high expectations are usually rewarded. She always tells a good story and the world-building/plot-driven aspects are always right on target. I know when I read an IAD book the couple will be hot, the plot will go somewhere, and I'll enjoy the ride.
I would have made this four stars, but for the fact that I reread these books all the time - so for sheer rereadability, this one won't be seeing much screen time. I just found it to be lackluster. Not in the same realm as the worst books in the series, but definitely not in the top half of the best books either. I've pinpointed this to a few reasons:
1) The aforementioned wait, with expectations growing too high and many books released since the cliffhanger scene in DFTD.Read more ›

Caution *SPOILERS*
I repeat **SPOILERS**
Wow! Just wow! Kresley has actually outdone herself. She's apparently said that this is her best IAD novel.... EVER. I'm not totally on board with that statement (as unfortunately my heart belongs to Mari and Bowen's story!) but by the gods! This book did NOT disappoint! We first met Lanthe and Thronos in book number 7, so their story has been a long time coming. After escaping the Order, and the Island on which they are imprisoned, Throno's FINALLY has Lanthe! For centuries he has hunted her, and now that he has her, he wont be letting go any time soon....
I really shipped Throno's and Lanthe. Watching their story unfold was really special. I liked where Kresley chose to take the direction of their relationship and I also like how fleshed out their time apart as children growing into adults was. It really gave their relationship that extra something. I liked that she chose different for our female and male leads, having our male lead play the virgin while our female lead was more... promiscuous! Not to say that this hasn't happened before in other IAD novels (Carrow and Malkom) but Lanthe and her male conquests had a lot of back story, which for some reason as a reader, I really liked and appreciated.
My heart broke for the couple a lot of times throughout the book. When Lanthe relived Throno's memory of when he found her again when she was 16?! By the gods, I think hearts broke all over the world reading that part. Ugh, or when she relived his memory of falling as a boy from the tower?? So sad! It seemed heartbreaking to me that this couple had wasted so MANY YEARS with misunderstandings and half spoken truths. What ever happened to just sitting down and talking it out?! Oh, I forgot..Read more ›

I've enjoyed almost all of K.C.'s IAD novels (exceptions being: Dacian spin-off Shadow's Claim, Macrieve, and Pleasures of a Dark Prince-took my time reading each which is very rare since I usually read all her books in rapid succession), but I'm disappointed to add Dark Skye to my exception list as well.
(Spoilers Here, Look Away If You Will)
I had high expectations based on their perceived relationship/personality glimpsed from the beginning of Kiss of a Demon King. I liked Lanthe, the love-lorn sorceress and Thronos, her best friend turned enemy. I was hoping there'd be tension amongst both factions since it was told that they had been centuries-long enemies but the blame seemed only one-sided toward the sanctimonious Vrekeners. I was under the impression that Sorceri were devious, treacherous, and selfish (against others and their very own) beings yet they come out as self-righteous victims. Why? Because they don't hide who they are? You can't tell me that every Sorceri shied away from Vrekeners in fear? They do have powers, right? Where's the vengeance, the bloodshed? Year long centuries of being hunted would've joined them into an (albeit reluctant) alliance but the Sorceri are too power hungry and willing to steal from their own species that they don't even bother with Vrekeners (Who happen to have a trunk full of Sorceri powers just there for the taking?). Why is there no mention of them attacking any Vrekeners or at least planning an attack (except in self-defense which doesn't even count because then it's expected and accepted).
As for Vrekeners...
