"Another great book from Cole. Some laugh out loud moments with Nix and Regin and just so much fun to read. Cole is great at writing conversations and the reflective thoughts of the main characters are well balanced. I am now very ready to read about Cade and then Rydstrom's adventures!!"

“Literal lost souls are the unlikely protagonists of Cole’s latest paranormal romance. Placing huge roadblocks in front of these potential lovers makes their struggles all the more poignant and daring. You can trust Cole to always deliver sizzling sexy interludes within a darkly passionate romance.”
— RT Book Reviews“Conrad leaps off the page and into your heart. He’s unexpected and unpredictable, fiercely determined to get better and to protect his mate, and an absolute fantasy lover in his devotion to Néomi’s pleasure. Their sizzling attraction transcends the limits of the physical; Conrad loves her before he ever touches her, and the evolution of their romance is among the most believable and engrossing I’ve ever read. Cole’s Immortals after Dark series continues stronger than ever with this latest installment.”
— Fresh Fiction“Prepare yourself for a wickedly exhilarating ride through the world of the Lore with Kresley Cole’s latest offering. I can’t recommend Conrad and Néomi’s book enough. Fabulous, Ms. Cole! Simply fabulous!”

— L8blmr, 6/4/2013" Don't know why, but something about this book just didn't make me enjoy it as much as the others of this series that I've read thus far. Don't get me wrong, it's an enjoyable read, but while I really liked/loved Mari and Bowen's story, Conrad and Neomi's just left me a little flat. "
— Susan, 4/14/2013" I loved Conrad and Neomi. The book was great! "
