No Rest for the Wicked Immortals After Dark #2

Kresley Cole — 2015

A vampire soldier weary of life... Centuries ago, Sebastian Wroth was turned into a vampire—a nightmare in his mind—against his will. Burdened with hatred and alone for ages, he sees little reason to live. Until an exquisite, fey creature comes to kill him, inadvertently saving him instead. A valkyrie assassin dispatched to destroy him... When Kaderin the Cold Hearted lost her two beloved sisters to a vampire attack long ago, a benevolent force deadened her sorrow—accidentally extinguishing all of her emotions. Yet whenever she encounters Sebastian, her feelings—particularly lust—emerge multiplied. For the first time, she's unable to complete a kill. Competitors in a legendary hunt... The prize of the month-long contest is powerful enough to change history, and Kaderin will do anything to win it for her sisters. Wanting only to win her, forever, Sebastian competes as well, taking every opportunity—as they travel to ancient tombs and through catacombs, seeking relics around the world—to use her new feelings to seduce her. But when forced to choose between the vampire she's falling for and reuniting her family, how can Kaderin live without either?

Check out this and my other reviews at My Blog, Facebook, Google+, Twitter and Pinterest ★Book Basics★ Genre : - Paranormal Romance Series : - Third 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★ I think this is my favourite so far. I loved Kaderin, loved her. And Sebastian, again a great hero who just feels so much for his Bride. I loved the whole competition theme. And felt so much for two of the other competitors who really wanted the prize. Kaderin and Sebastian were a great couple, again having to overcome their thoughts about the others species, but unable to deny what they felt for each other. Here Kaderin struggles the most, with the return of feelings, why she is doing the competition and what she thinks will happen if she wins. This book was action packed and I enjoyed every minute.

Continuing my read-a-long with the Fated Mates Podcast, No Rest for the Wicked takes one turned-against-his-will vampire and the emotionless assassin Valkyrie who wanted to murder him, but turns out to be his bride. Oh, and this vampire has never had an erection until he meets Kaderin the Cold-Hearted (his bride) and she hasn't felt sexual desire until he kisses her. So delicious. I liked the addition of the legendary scavenger hunt contest, a contest Kaderin has competed in, and one, at least five times. Seeing her at turns foiled and helped by the lovelorn vampire was super fun. And wow, the sexual tension is for reals in this book! I'm loving how Cole includes so many awesome secondary characters, and I'm really looking forward to learning more about Bowen and his quest to save his long dead mate, which Kaderin foiled in this book. Slight spoilers: Bastian is a virgin (see above). He's also 6 1/2 feet tall. Yum. Hot plane sex, which thankfully isn't ruined by all the lightning somehow. Bewitched chains is the new BDSM The time travel aspects confused me a little bit. Hoping they'll be discussed in the podcast.
