I have a soft spot for the Immortals after Dark series by Kresley Cole. This is the series which took me from a casual paranormal fan to someone who actively sought out new books with vampires, shifters and other creatures who go bump in the night.
It’s been a few years since my last Kresley book but I enjoyed this one as much as I had the previous ones in the series. One of the things I enjoy most about this series is how it tries to put a different spin on things. Each book focuses on a different Lorien finding their predestined mate and that’s no different in Munro. But what is different are the circumstances around their meeting and potential mating. Munro, a 900 year old Scottish werewolf, gets his opportunity to find his mate in this book but he never expected her to be a human circus performer from the 1920s. Kereny Codrina isn’t just a mortal from a different time but she spends her nights actively hunting Immortals and isn’t about to stop just because a werewolf crashes her wedding.
I enjoyed so much about this book. The characters are a lot of fun and Kerney is such a strong woman. She might be human but she’s more than capable of coping and holding her own against all the Lore might throw at her. Their chemistry is great and the banter between her and Munro reminded me of everything I love about their series. The time travel aspect was a lot of fun too. It was interesting to see the rules around it and limitations. It didn’t contradict previous books in the series and I felt like I understood why other characters didn’t use it in the past to change their futures. I wasn’t sure I would like the time travel element but it added a lot to the plot and to Munro and Kerney’s journey.
The ending wasn’t my favourite. I felt the pacing got a little odd towards the end and I just wasn’t as into the story for the last 20% as I had been for the first 80 but I still appreciated how this book does its part to move the whole series overall plot forward a little. We got to see a little of other characters who are yet to find their mate. But what I loved even more was seeing some of those who we had followed in previous books. Lothaire is one of my favourites from the Immortals after Dark series and it was a pleasure to see him again. Especially because he is the same in essence as he was before his book. He doesn’t somehow become all lovely and kind because of finding Ellie. But rather he is still up to his old tricks.
I hope I don’t have to wait so long before Munro and the next book because I had forgotten just how much I enjoyed this world and the different Immortals who inhabit it. This is still my favourite paranormal romance series and whilst Munro wasn’t my favourite instalment I still enjoyed the characters and their journey.

Anche stavolta una bella storia, ho apprezzato poter leggere fino alla nascita della nuova famiglia, di solito se ne accenna soltanto. Mi è piaciuto anche ritrovare qualche vecchio personaggio, sapere come vanno le cose nel clan dei lupi, oppure in Dacia, o dalle streghe. Meno pagine di sesso, o per meglio dire: solo scene davvero necessarie alla storia, magari spiegate per capitoli interi, ma almeno utili a capire il rapporto tra i protagonisti e non messe lì ridondanti e noiose come è successo in altri libri della serie.
Facendo il punto della situazione mancano davvero ancora tanti libri per chiudere le trame suggerite fin qui: la storia della ragazzina dei Daci, (e ricordiamoci che uno di loro c'è ma non è stato ancora presentato!) poi quella di Kristoff e la sua compagna, poi i Møriør misteriosi di cui già si è accennato (il drago mutaforma che non vuole più diventare umano, Orion che sa già qual è il punto debole di Nix...) e per non parlare del personaggio che compare nell'epilogo di questo libro!
Temo davvero che non ne verremo fuori in tempo per la prossima ascesa!

The queen of paranormal is back with a vengeance- what a fantastic journey back into the consuming story telling of the incomparable Kresley Cole and the utterly addictive Immortals After Dark World. The series that ignited my love for romance and supernatural storytelling yet again stokes the flames- I could not put this story down. Munro is everything I love about Kresley Cole- it's brilliantly woven, passionate, completely consuming, and thrilling from the first word to the last. Everything I wanted and more- a triumphant return to the IAD world!

I hated this book. It was so boring. I was looking forward to Munro's book. He was so understanding in Macrieve, but this was just like plugging random names in a generic IAD book.
4/5 stars
I liked this book A LOT, even though I have to say I wish some things would have been developed more, like Munro’s son, Ren’s parents, etc. Nonetheless, Munro and Ren’s relationship was perfect and I loved the cameos/mentions of previous IAD couples/characters.
Lothaire is still my favorite comedian and Nïx my favorite soothsayer.
And OMG that epilogue!!! OMG!!!!!
Kresley CERTAINLY came back with a bang

So worth the wait!
Kresley Cole never disappoints me. This book had me laughing, cursing and scared out of my wits throughout the story.
I wasn't a fan of Kereny for most of the book but finally grew to like her.
The ongoing plot is so complex and exciting that it makes me hungry for more. I can't wait to see what is next.
