There were three short stories in this book. The first sucked. The second was alright. But the third, which was Kresley's was phenomenal. I didn't expect anything less from her. Running from your mate for 5 years? Wow. But, always a happy ending. I loved it. Nikolas Wroth, a vampire, heart beats for Myst the Coveted. Read to find out more!

Technically this is Kresley’s first full novel and I am going to say that it was wonderful. Her most recent stuff is better but that doesn’t mean that I don’t give two thumbs up to this one. Lachlan, after being tortured for 150 years scents his mate and will do anything to get her - even rip off his own leg. Poor Emmaline is gentler than a fly but after meeting Lachlan she toughens up and becomes his Mate. Even killing a vampire in the process. It wasn’t easy to make Emmaline fall for Lachlan though. Read to find out how he did it. I will say her lust for him was one key part ;)

This book was very nice. It states that it is written by both authors but really, there are just two unsimilar books in it. Kresely's book took up 3/4 of the novel. Gena's just filled in 1/4 of the end. I won't even tell you what it's about. I think I like Kresely's writing better than Gena's. Gena is more down and dirty while Kresely is more about the chase.

Murdoch Wroth, a vampire finds his Bride, a Valkyrie/Icere named Daniela who is untouchable. An Ice Queen/Maiden who lives in New Orleans. Her Icere followers are out to kill her. Once the king is dead, she is sought out to rule her kingdom and take her rightful place at the throne. After meeting Murdoch she realizes what love truly is. One problem: no skin to skin contact. Being an Icere, Daniela can only touch her kind. If her skin even grazed Murdoch's she is in agonizing pain. All Murdoch, a sex symbol, also known as a man whore (in his previous human life), wants to do is touch his Bride to no avail. It drives him insane. He even tries to kiss 3 other girls to see how to compare, but none of them come close to Daniela. It is pretty sad. Read the book to find out how they overcome their problem! :) I would recommend if you like Kresely's book as I do!

Loved it, but expected more. This book started off exciting. I am always excited to read anything from Kresley. The whole capture dragged on a lot to me. It was a great book, don't get me wrong, but I think I expected more. More what, you ask? No idea. It didn't have the normal spark that all her other books have. I would still recommend it, but she has other books that I would put before this one. I loved the whole reincarnation thing. The whole 'meant to be together' theme. Great work!

Kresley Cole has done it again. She has made me fall in love with two more characters in her book. I have loved Lothaire since the beginning but I also love his Bride, Elizabeth that we just met for the first time in this book! Kresley has made me laugh, tear up and keep reading until my eyes hurt with this book. I’ve never been frustrated with any of her books but this one, but it’s only because I was upset with Lothaire and his selfish actions. Kresley did an amazing job at showing how hard it is for one to learn to love after a millennia of being alone.

It begins with a young girl named Elizabeth who is possessed by a vampire queen named Saroya. Lothaire was told that he would meet his bride on the mountains and as predicted she was there. While possessed Elizabeth (Saroya) kills many people for the fun of it. Lothaire met Saroya after a blood bath and that was when his heart began to beat again. The entire time he thinks Saroya is his bride but really Elizabeth was. He vowed to the Lore to Saroya that he would expel Elizabeth’s soul from her body. Elizabeth is this hillbilly girl with an attitude who would do anything for her family. When Lothaire rescues her from death row, which he willingly put her in, she is supposed to fall madly in love with him, but that doesn’t happen too easily. Lothaire finally realizes that Elizabeth is his bride but knows he could never be with a human so he decides to turn her into a vampire against her will and telling her she could never see her family again. Taking the choices away from a hard headed hillbilly, Lothaire? Not a good idea.

Much more happens that I found to be a little bit of a filler. It is not the normal action packed books that Kelsey normally writes but it was still good. Elizabeth was being held captive from the prison, to Lothaire’s house, to Hags place, to the Valkyrie Coven. Not much happens in confinement. Oh well, I still loved the book. I think Kelsey made it like that so she could show the struggles which Lothaire had to face. I loved how she interpreted the puzzle pieces into this book. Also, I would kill to see Lothaire in a wife beater! I loved the gift that Elizabeth gave Lothaire right after receiving a gift from him while she was being held captive in the Valkyrie Coven. I kept trying to think what it would be, but never guessed it. Well played Elizabeth, well played. To find out how our hillbilly/vampire Elizabeth forgives Lothaire from taking away her free will, you must read. Truly a touching story made for a man with a black heart!

Let me start off by saying that it took me over 5 days to read because once I started, I wanted to Re-Read Kiss of a Demon King. That book is an intro into the lives of Sabine and Melanthe. But that book belongs to Sabine and Rydstrom where this book belongs to Melanthe and Thronos. I wanted to know the most about Melanthe before I started this book. 

When Melanthe was little, Thronos' father, the King of Skye murdered her and Sabine's parents. They found them dead in their bed. Sabine and Melanthe fought with the Vrekeners to avenge their parents that same night in their bedroom. Sabine ended up killing the King while Melanthe told Throno's to jump out the window and to not use his wings on the way down which caused him deformations because he wasn't an immortal.

Growing up, Melanthe was in love with Thronos as young children. Their friendliness had to be hidden since the Vrekeners and the Sorcery were enemies. No one knew about them. Melanthe thought that Thronos ratted her parents whereabouts to the King, and that's why he killed them. She never forgave him. 

This book begins on the island with all the captured Immortals. After the cells and broken open and all the immortals are free, Melanthe tries to escape but Thronos finds her and kidnaps her. Melanthe is his Mate. He needs to have her. He has this vendetta towards her, but Melanthe hates him and wants nothing to do with him. They try to escape the island but cant since Thronos wings can barely fly with his weight let alone holding Melanthe. After a series of events, Melanthe (Lanthe for short) creates a portal - thinking she is going home. Thronos follows her into Pandemonia. They are trapped there until Lanthe can create another portal out. 

Their struggles with one another are so heart wrenching. I loved seeing both sides of their hardships with one another. They both hate each other but slowly learn that their hate is misplaced. Thronos' brother was the one who had been tormenting her for 500+ years. She was just trying to stay alive. Lanthe learned his pain as well. They learned to forgive each others pain towards the other. 

**SPOILERS**

I was so happy for them once they escaped all the different portal locations. There was a lot of content in this story, but it was super easy to keep up with it all. 

I could NOT believe when Morgana came and made Thronos forget about Lanthe. Not only did he make her forget about him, but she also destroyed their homes, letting them crash into the ocean! It was so painful to see them both struggling. Lanthe struggled because she needed to get her husband and baby daddy back, and Thronos struggled because he didn't know what he was missing but a huge hole in his chest. I was so happy when they finally reunited. Read to understand where I am coming from. This story was so magical!
