 Let's hear it for Vamps January 20, 2010
K. Creech (Wilts, England)
I just love the vampire genre of novel, and this one certainly does not disappoint. A red blooded tale of love conquers all
Fantastic!.. November 15, 2009
Soph "PiNkZ" (LONDON)
Wow, Finally this book is in stock, through weeks of currently unavailable's and 1-3 week delivery dates, it finally arrived. I am happy to say that even though this book has two stories from two different series, they could have well been individual books as the page count is almost, almost that of a full novel, especially for kresley cole and her after dark series. i'm a little annoyed as i've just finished reading the alien huntress series of gena's and in the last book there were new charectors with no explaination. i just found out why, they are the second story of this book.
Daniella ice maiden, can not be touched, her skin burns. murdoch, former warrior famous for his bed talents ... she bloodies him (this means a vampire with no sexual awarness or a beating heart gets 'brought back' to life, still a vampire though, but can feel his heart beating, breathes etc).. they have ups and downs and lots of things going on in previous books that make sense in this one. if you havn't read the immortals after dark series, it is imperative that you do.
I haven't actually read the second story in this book as after i finished the above one i got a new delivery of feehan ghostwalker books, so i have been side tracked, but i only have 2 feehan books to go, after that, ill flip back to the alien huntress one,)
Definately a five star alone for kresley cole's book and gena's is an added bonus.
excellent holiday read December 26, 2009

I was so excited about the next installment of the Immortals After Dark series and I have to say 'Untouchable' by Kresley Cole did not disappoint. Kresley manages to make Murdoch the player sweetly sexy, and Daniela's character one emphasises with (which is pretty impressive I initially thought I'd be thinking "shut up wingeing about not being able to make skin contact-miserable cow")I found the plot well thought out- throughout the story I had no idea how it was going to end; furthermore the conclusion was one which satisfied without having to rely on some random act of luck/wizardry etc. My personal highlight was how the romance developed- many of the sexy scenes are implicit or rather imaginative. Before reading this story I had had a long break from Cole and I had forgotton how genuinely refreshing it is to have female characters (including main leads) who truly kick arse. Go team. I am not sure about this as a stand alone if you are intending on reading the series do start at the beginning- 'Untouchable' will give too much away of a couple of the other stories which benefitted much from Murdoch's air of mystique.
Now onto Showalter- this was my first taste of Alien Huntress series and it did seem to work well as a stand alone. I did find this read very entertaining, however I just could not buy into the plotline- it felt a little "oh come off it". For anyone new to Showalter try the Lords of the Underworld series- and yes I know "you can believe in demons but not aliens?" is a little hypocritical.
Two great series continue...... October 18, 2009

Writing buddies KC and GW contribute to this two story "anthology". These two authors prove why they are both currently so popular in the fantasy romance genre; however whilst GW's story is very good, KC's offering is fantastic.
Untouchable by Kresley Cole
Although a valkyrie Daniela the Ice Maiden is unable to tolerate the touch of any but her own kind; which proves somewhat annoying that the Ice Fae (Icere) are so intent on killing her. Murdoch Wroth believes fate must be laughing at him. A notorious womaniser prior to his turning, this vampire has spent over three centuries celibate; unable to become aroused until meeting his Bride. Yet who has heard of a vampire with a Bride he is unable to touch, a woman unable to touch him in return and sate the lust she has aroused?
I liked that this book spans a time period which incorporates events that occur in the first four books of this series and also the short story (and official start of the IAD series) found in the anthology "Playing Easy To Get". The unlikely union of ice maiden/valkyrie and vampire blooms whilst Myst is captured by her own vampire, Emmy is hunted, Karedin takes part in a deadly competition, Mariketa the Awaited comes into her monumental power and another of Murdoch's brothers falls in love with a ghost.
This short story is definitely on par with the other full length novels found in the "Immortal After Dark " series with all the entertaining elements expected from this author; sharp verbal sparring, battles aplenty and some hot nekked action. 5 stars
Tempt Me Eternally by Gena Showalter
AIR agent Macy, aka Aleaha Love; the shape shifter able to assume the form of anyone she touches makes her first (but brief) appearance in book 4 of this series "Seduce the Darkness" (although this book starts prior to the events which take place in book 4). As part of the AIR team assigned to track a group of aliens arriving on Earth, Aleaha is way out of her league; having only recently assumed Macy's face and life but obviously lacks the training.
The enemy she and her team face are not the expected Schön but a group of Rakan; a golden race universally believed to be peaceful (well that is until they start killing AIR agents). The Rakan prove far more aggressive than assumed; whilst their leader Breean is positively predatory, going as far to claim Aleaha as his victor's prize.
I enjoyed this short story but throughout it I couldn't understand why GW didn't include Eden, the Raka female lead from "Enslave Me Sweetly". So despite the action and passion plus the significant presence of other AIR agents in this story, I found myself wondering at odd moments why Eden wasn't involved in the plot line at all. 4 stars
Good Anthology December 25, 2009
A. Lovera (Venezuela)
It was a good story from Kresley Cole, I loved the story as I love the Wroth brothers. But as it often happens with anthologies, the second story didnt reach me. I felt like the book was overpriced because of that.
