 Sexy, romance-fantasy-horror novel August 25, 2008
F. Hanna (Isle of Man, UK)
This was my first foray into this genre. I must say, I was initially put off by the cover as it looked like one of those novels that desperate or under satisfied women read - and to be fair...it was - as it jumped right into the passion pit within the first ten pages. BUT...it was well written with a good story line and great character development that made you understand the feelings / agendas of each individual. I liked the author's style of letting readers into the thoughts of the two main characters at important moments. I did think Emma held out a bit too long in satisfying her desires, and Lachain was a bit overly sensitive to her reluctance for a sex-starved, middle ages type Scotsman. As well, there were a couple of storylines that went unanswered (Lucia & Garreth and Furie) - maybe in a sequel. Other than that, I liked the book for what it was and would recommend it to adults who like this genre.
Scorching sex scenes August 21, 2008
Kaylee Godfrey (England)
I was unsure when I first started reading this book. I am no prude, I like the ocassional sex scene, but this book from page one is sex on legs!
Yet despite my initial reservations, a plot materialises and the heroine becomes a stronger and more powerful character, and the hero becomes softer and more noble.
There is one sex scene that is the hottest I have ever read - so be sure to have your partner near to hand!
If you are a prude when it comes to sex scenes, then this is not the book for you.
 lord protect us from americans in scotland August 18, 2008
Mrs. F. Starkey-norman (UK)
well-lets cut to the chase: its not the most original idea-conflicted unsure Virgin vampire with un tapped talents meets incredibly handsome bit of rough for mutual admiration and some incredibly trite self examination-and a bit of nookie
However-if you have ever acyually met a scotsman/visited scotland-the great hilarity id the go at a written scottish accent.its one of the best bits of comedy i have read in a while.
the descriptions are of a chocolate box (think St Andrews golfing holidays)What no rain? lots of Occh-does not a highlander make.
Och now then lassie can ya no do betta than that?
VERY DISSAPOINTED!! August 12, 2008
Nirmala D. Edelstein
I cannot believe how on earth this book gained such good reviews! I am an avid reader of all sorts of paranormal vampire romance, it is by far my favorite genre, and usually I trust the amazon reviews, but this book does NOT deserve all these good reviews unless I suppose you have never read another novel in your life and you have no point of comparison, but the without wanting to go in to the MANY reasons why I think it's so bad, I just felt it was my duty to balance out this totally undeserved score. The book reads like a australian surfer girls idea of gothic, there is too much smart ass cliche, too much focus on the whiny girls feelings, not enough story developement, you wait for them to get together for ages, and when they finally do, you don't understand how it happened, or what pushed the decision to be made in the first place. It's just awful, cliche, terrible, and I hate being negative but honestly, don't waste your money, and go buy J'R Wards Black Dagger Brotherhood series instead!!!
Well crafted paranormal romance book and a superb series... July 29, 2008
Jessica Simpson (Berks, UK)
This book is difficult to review as I am writing this after having read all the books in the series. I remember absolutely loving this book at the time of reading it, but I now realise it is not as good as the stories that follow it in the Immortals After Dark series. I think that the IAD books (so far) are all 4 to 5 star books which equal overall a 5 star series. They are more than the sum of their parts.
The plot of this, the first in the series, is not the most original in terms action. Boy tortured for 150 yrs, finds girl, girl doesn't want him... you've all read this before. However Cole takes a simple story and adds her own orignal take on it. You can tell reading it that she has taken time to build up the way all Lore species link together before writing it. You can sense a plan when you learn more of the "Ascension". A war that occurs every 500 yrs to thin out the Lore population. I think what I enjoyed the most about this book was the promise it showed with regards to the future series without detracting from the story of Lachlain and Emmaline.
There are bad points :-
The scottish accents in this book are awful, Emmaline is iritating in parts, and Lachlain is pig headed to the point of ridciulousness at times. It feels slightly rushed in places.
And there are good points :-
The characters are endearing and lovingly written. There's a lot of interesting backgorund on the Lore, which will all be expanded in furture novels. There is no definate evil, or perfect good, everything is a greyish blur where ultimately it's the individuals morality governs whether they are good or evil. The plot and backgorund of the species is all thought about in advance leaving this book to link fluidly to susequent stories. And it's hot hot hot!
Essentially, Cole will remain one of my staple paranormal romance authors and I hope to continue enjoying the IAD series. I hope you enjoy this book as much as I did.
