Kresley Cole

Traces the story of ruthless vampire Lothaire, following his determined pursuit of the Horde's crown before his efforts are thwarted by Elizabeth Peirce, a mortal who harbors a secret power that will kill her if Lothaire uses it to achieve his goals.

Lothaire

   Number-one New York Times best-selling author Kresley Cole continues her electrifying Immortals After Dark series with this thrilling tale, revealing secrets of the Lore, fierce realm of the immortals....

   All fear the enemy of old.

   Driven by his insatiable need for revenge, Lothaire, the Lore’s most ruthless vampire, plots to seize the Horde’s crown. But bloodlust and torture have left him on the brink of madness—until he finds Elizabeth Peirce, the key to his victory. He captures the unique young mortal, intending to offer up her very soul in exchange for power, yet Elizabeth soothes his tormented mind and awakens within him emotions Lothaire believed he could no longer experience.

   A deadly force dwells within her.

   Growing up in desperate poverty, Ellie Peirce yearned for a better life, never imagining she’d be convicted of murder—or that an evil immortal would abduct her from death row. But Lothaire is no savior, as he himself plans to sacrifice Ellie in one month’s time. And yet the vampire seems to ache for her touch, showering her with wealth and sexual pleasure. In a bid to save her soul, Ellie surrenders her body to the wicked vampire, while vowing to protect her heart.

   Centuries of cold indifference shattered.

   Elizabeth tempts Lothaire beyond reason, as only his fated mate could. As the month draws to a close, he must choose between a millennia-old blood vendetta and his irresistible prisoner. Will Lothaire succumb to the miseries of his past—or risk everything for a future with her?

Immortals After Dark #11

Okay, so where to start? this book took so many revelations that had me shook, got me taking a little break because I was just curious for Lothaire's love interest lmao. Did I mention Kresley is finally focusing on the world building of the Lore? My mind is still processing the twist especially the ending! I spent my time staring at ceiling connecting the characters to the other. But sad to say this book didn't give me much angst (hence, only four stars) but I think this is the funniest book in this series. They are so opposite but both stubborn, it's ironic. 🤣 Lothaire and Ellie are My People for real.

★Review★

This book and the 2 before it (with Malkom in Demon from the Dark and Declan in Dreams of a Dark Warrior) have been my favourite. I clearly like the hero a little bit evil and completely messed up!

This book was just so much fun to read. I adored Elizabeth. She was smart and brave and quite frankly gave as good as she got. 

And Lothaire - insane, unapologetically evil, looks down on pretty much everyone else, and bloody funny! I loved him. 

I highlighted so many parts of this book I loved, if I put them here, then I would have a large portion of the actual book in my review. 

And thankfully Soraya did not have much page time, as I hated her and just wanted Lothiare to get his handsomely stupid head out of his ass when it came to her.

Oh and the scene between Lothaire and Nix.....heart melting. Have to be honest, for a split second I was fantasizing a Nix and Lothaire future for a very tiny split second. Maybe as they are my two favourite characters I think in the series. 

But, no, I really loved Lothiare and Elizabeth together. And this for me has so far been the hottest book of the series. 

And I like how, even though Lothaire had found his bride, he is still Lothaire.......he is not good, he won't turn good. He might fight on the side of good, but you know he will only ever do it if it is in the best interests of him and Elizabeth. Lothaire remains......Lothiare. In all his glory.

Basically this review is a massive spoiler so stop here if you want to remain pure.





Still with me?

Alright, I've been told/warned that Lothaire is super-extra-bananas. It took me FIVE DAYS to read this book. Typically a romance novel will take me one-two days tops. Well, Lothaire was just so much epic what-the-fuckery I just really needed to sinky my fangs, er, teeth into it and let Kresley Cole sweep me away. If not, there would be no way I could ever buy a happily ever after for the ultimate enemy of old, the ultimate bad guy, Lothaire.

I laughed out loud so many times because seriously, the dialogue in this story is choice. The banter between Lothaire and Ellie is just fire. And while Lothaire is SUCH A JERK, I couldn't help but kind of love him anyway? Super problematic but whatever.

Also, Ellie is my hero and I love her so much. She was by far too good for Lothaire, I'm just glad she's happy now. I was so mad when he turned her without her consent, and I'm glad she chopped his damn head off. Who knew 1/8 of an inch was all you'd need to grow a vampire head back?

ALSO THE SEVERED BODY PARTS. My gosh so many. The heart in a box and the accompanying note, dead.
