I'm a big fan of paranormal fiction and this is one of the best books I've read in this genre. I didn't want to put it down until I finished it, and I just want more, more, more!

`

This book is one of the best in the Immortals After Dark series and really one of the best books that I read this year.

Kresley Cole owns the paranormal genre and proves it once again with this book Trust is not a given between any two people even those so fated to spend eternity together. It is an earned feeling and if the person you love most breaks the bond of trust you have in them, the faith you had may never return. Malkom Slaine had been abused, abandoned and almost killed by everyone that was ever dear to him. He is unique in the Lore as he had been turned into a demon and his powers were strong. But life had not been kind to him and he had been left to rot in the demon plane that is a virtual hell where he now is forced to live with none of his powers working and his daily life a battle to survive. Carrow Graie is a witch who lives with her coven in relative safety and never expected to be taken prisoner by “The Order” a human group bent on the destruction of the paranormal community which consists of everyone Carrow knows and loves. Her powers have been stripped and she is living in a cage listening to others beg for their existence. But The Order will give her back her freedom and return her powers if she can retrieve Malkom and convince him to transport through the portal so the enemy analyze him. The fact that they are holding Ruby, one dear 7 year-old witch that Carrow adores as collateral for this to happen seals this deal. This manipulation forces Carrow to use whatever she has to in order to bring Malkom back to face whatever fate should occur to free Ruby and ensure that she is safely returned to their coven. However, Carrow never thought that the one male she can’t care about is the one she has been fated to and perhaps the one that can give her purpose in her out of control life and make her happy. Love has been fleeting and rarely given so when Malkom extends his hand to show her affection Carrow is more likely to bite it than kiss it. Malkom knows from his now beating heart and over whelming desire to mate that Carrow is the one woman he has been waiting for and he will have her no matter how it has to happen. He takes her to his shelter, lets her care for him and shows her in his rudimentary way what she means to him. But Carrow knows that she has a mission and that mission is not to fall in love with this demon but to get him back through the portal and the clock is ticking. Malkom makes the mistake of trusting her and the steps that occur after forces their relationship to collapse and the struggle to regain the feelings they once shared require giant leaps not baby steps. Freedom comes at a high cost to both of them and protecting Ruby is their number one priority. But can Malkom get past Carrow’s deception and move forward toward a life together or are they stranded on the island of despair and loneliness never knowing what true passion and emotional release can feel like? Kresley Cole is one of the writer’s who has created an alternate universe that is so deep in characters and plot that you have to stop and remind yourself this is not real. She is the master of this genre and the books in this series grow more fascinating and intriguing while remaining fresh which is a difficult task. Ms. Cole has written such wonderful characters with Malkom and Carrow that you find yourself not only rooting for their success to freedom but also that they figure out how amazing their love is. Thank you as always Kresley for writing these works of art. Mary Gramlich is The Reading Reviewer
