Publisher's Summary
An immortal assassin is caught between desire and duty in this sizzling new novel from Kresley Cole's number-one New York Times best-selling Immortals After Dark series.
A foundling raised in a world of humans
Growing up, orphaned Josephine didn't know who or what she was - just that she was "bad", an outcast with strange powers. Protecting her baby brother, Thaddeus, became her entire life. The day he was taken away began Jo's transition from angry girl...to would-be superhero...to enchanting villain.
A lethally sensual enforcer on a mission
Whether by bow or in bed, archer Rune the Baneblood never fails to eliminate his target. In his sights: the oldest living Valkyrie. Yet before he can strike, he encounters a vampiric creature whose beauty mesmerizes him. With one bite, she pierces him with aching pleasure, stealing his forbidden blood - and jeopardizing the secrets of his brethren.
A boundless passion that will lead to sweet ruin...
Could this exquisite female be a spy sent by the very Valkyrie he hunts? Rune knows he must not trust Josephine, yet he's unable to turn her away. When Jo betrays the identity of the one man she will die to protect, she and Rune become locked in a treacherous battle of wills that pits ultimate loyalty against unbridled lust.

Sweet story
Would you try another book written by Kresley Cole or narrated by Robert Petkoff?
I love the IAD by Kresley Cole & cannot wait for the next instalment. The only thing I'm put off by Robert Petkoff's narration is the voice who puts on for the female characters. Alot of the times its the same voice unlike for the male characters.
How would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable?
This story has gotten a lot of bad reviews mostly going on how different it is to the previous books. It's the same main story how male finds his mate to complete him in between conflicts. The previous books all focused on the so called 'good guys', where as this story introduces us to the so called 'bad guys'. Mostly Rune Baneblood, a darkfae hybrid whose blood is deathly to everyone but his fated vampire / phantom hybrid mate. In the previous books it was always the hero finding his mate & chasing her down convincing her they belong together. But this time once the hero finds his fated mate he is the one that runs away with his female chasing him. A lot of people didn't like this, mostly how Rune goes on how he can't be monogamous. I found it refreshing to have the roles reversed with the heroine doing the chasing. This story opened u a whole new wide universe to the immortals after dark lore with the potential for so many new characters. The only thing I didn't like was how it was described as other worlds more on a sci-fi different planet level instead of different paranormal universes. That I found a bit hard to follow.
It seems there finally was a small step forward for the 'ascension'.

Best line - "You got a woody, I got a wetty" - Josephine.

Very Hot ☺️
That was actually one of my top favorites from the IAD series. I notice some reviews said they didn't like the reverse of the woman pursuing the man but I loved it (and it's not like he was really trying to resist anyway lol) - both leads were strong willed and focused, unless one made the other pant haha. I found the sexy scenes more ummmm guttural, well the hero was which was very hot and the language was more 'crude' then in other books but maybe I was noticing more 😆 any who it was a fun adventure and I would read it again!

Favorite of the series!
I've had to listen to this one twice since it's just so good! an amazing performance from Robert as always. the story has everything I like. Two badass leads with a great backstory coming together. Even though Rune had his flaws at the end, I liked that element as it made me empathize with Jo.

surprising
this was surprisingly good. I was feeling really unconvinced that I was going to like it as I'll knew it was going to be based on 'the other side', but it was quite enjoyable and I'm glad that I took the time.

Wowza this one is raunchy!
I'm not usually one to blush, but this story provoked a few. The main female character was wonderful and there was also an exciting peak at Nix's impending Accession.
