Shadow's Seduction by Kresley Cole
4.0
I'm so glad that my IAD withdrawal has been temporarily sated. Did I looooove this story? No. But I really enjoyed it, nevertheless. There's something about Kresley Cole's writing that sucks you in and gets you invested in some of the petty and ridiculous hijinks that these immortals get up to. This is one of the books in this series that requires a A LOT of suspension of disbelief. A lot of things magically resolved themselves, which is expected from a PNR but this time...hmmm, too good to be true. There were loopholes, that even I, someone who doesn't always keep up with details, noticed.
But don't get me wrong, as a fan I was highly entertained. This combined two of my favorite genres: M/M and PNR, and did it well. I think this could be one of KC's first MM romances, but her writing prowess allowed her to seamlessly fly through some of the expected issues you'd expect from a first time writer of a genre.
My favorite character in this book was Mirceo, who reminded me a lot of Josephine from the previous book. He was vain, mouthy and a tad immature for a 30-year-old vamp. His mate, Cap, was perfect for him. I'd really love to see more of him in future books. And their ass-kicking duo needs at least a subplot in the final book when all of these Loreans finally get together for the final show down.
I miss Nix in this one. And this plot doesn't touch on the upcoming Ascension as much as I would've liked. We also got a lot of cameos from the rest of the Dacians, and I now am so excited for the next book.
