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.

Check out this and my other reviews at My Blog, Facebook, Google+, Twitter and Pinterest ★Book Basics★ Genre : - Paranormal Romance Series : - 12th in the series. Love triangle? - (view spoiler)[No (hide spoiler)] Cheating? - (view spoiler)[No (hide spoiler)] HEA? - (view spoiler)[Yes (hide spoiler)] Would I read more by this author/or in this series? - Yes Rating - 5 stars ★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.

My absolute FAVORITE so far!!! I freaking love Lothaire and Ellie!
