Munro
by Kresley Cole
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.
