She is terrified of what she has done, of what is happening to her but all is not over. The book begins and we jump right into action – it opens with Holly being taken by a cast of demons who want to mate with her (all of them) and all hell breaks lose – her Valkyrie part comes into play and the woman simply slays every single one of them in a mix of fury and fear. So, Cade’s mission is to take Holly to Ogrot and the prospect of losing his mate after searching for 900 years is as unbearable as the thought of not regaining Rydstrom’s throne and atoning himself. The Vessel is a woman who makes an appearance at every Accession – the upcoming battle that happens every 500 years where all factions of the Lore fight each other – and who is fated to bear a child of either ultimate good or ultimate evil, depending on who the father is. Then, right at the start they learn that Holly is not only half-Valkyrie but also has a GREAT!WOMB!VESSEL! and is the price Orgot is asking to hand over the One Sword to kill their enemy. Turns out, Holly is very strong.Ĭade found her one year before and he has stalked her ever since: learning about her, protecting her – it’s pretty much a self punishment for him. Even though she has never had anything more than a few chaste kisses with the man because she is afraid of hurting him. She also has a long-term boyfriend, Tim, whom she hopes to marry someday.
Holly is a Maths university teacher/researcher who has Obsessive Compulsive Disorder – she has compulsions to perform tasks such as cleaning a spotless house twice a day, always arranging objects in groups of three – as any OCD sufferer she has the fear of losing herself and the repetitive routine is a relief for her. He can never have her because she is human and humans could never survive mating with a rage demon. You see, Cade just found his Mate, Holly. They lost the race, but the search for weapon that could kill the usurper still guides them – and in Dark Desires, a chance of getting The One Sword that will slay their enemy Omort, is to be given to them but at a very high cost to Cade.
Cadeon and his brother Rydstrom wanted the key so that they could go back and regain Rydstrom’s throne.
We first met him a few books back participating in the Hie – a supernatural race around the globe for the high prize: a key to turn back time.
I mean, how could I not: Cadeon Woede is a handsome rage demon with a chip on his shoulder – the need to atone for the mistake that has cost his brother’s throne 900 years ago. And I had such high hopes for this story. What I am going to say not only goes against the wave of reviewers who loved this book but also breaks my heart since I am a die-hard fan of Kresley Cole’s Immortal After Dark series, but this was my least favorite so far.
