About this book
Sebastian Wroth is a vampire who has spent centuries languishing in a crumbling castle, nursing a soul-deep exhaustion and a hatred for his forced immortality. He has long since given up on finding meaning, until the lethal and exquisite fey assassin, Kaderin the Cold Hearted, arrives to finish him off. Known for her ruthless efficiency and an emotional void left by a tragic past, Kaderin finds her mission derailed the moment she encounters her target.
This dark romance is a masterclass in the grumpy-sunshine trope, as the brooding, suicidal vampire suddenly finds himself desperate to live for the woman sent to kill him. When they are pitted against each other in a legendary, high-stakes competition where the prize can rewrite history, their lethal dance turns into an intoxicating game of survival and seduction.
As a staple of the urban fantasy genre, this story delivers a perfect blend of adrenaline-fueled adventure and intense, soul-searing passion. Kaderin must decide if her quest to resurrect her sisters is worth sacrificing the man who finally made her feel again. For readers craving a paranormal romance with depth, sizzling chemistry, and a hero who will steal your heart, this epic journey is an absolute must-read.

\"He beseeched with those eyes, and she realized he hungered for an end. He wanted the death blow she'd come to his decrepit castle to deliver.\" FINAL DECISION: Amusing and adventurous, this book is the story of two people who have been alone for a long time. I especially loved how Sebastian is a tough, strong alpha hero but also sweet and a bit innocent around women. THE STORY: Sebastian Wroth is a reluctant vampire. Turned against his will by his older brothers, Sebastian has spent three...

Here's the book that hooked me on this series. It had depth that the novella, The Warlord Wants Forever necessarily lacked and the characters are FANTASTIC - without any of the 'coming into her own' of the heroine like in A Hunger Like No Other. It also included everything I love about the world, and as an added bonus: the Talisman's Hie - an Amazing Race type event, on supernatural steroids. Kaderin hasn't felt a thing, not the sorrow that was tearing her apart, not joy, hate, love,...

4.5/5 Honestly I felt this book was even better than #1. Sebastian was so much easier to accept and had a greater depth than I was expecting. I sympathized with him and also loved Kaderin as she wasn’t like other heroines. She took hard to get to a whole new level and not because she was playing games. The internal battle she fought with herself and the difficult choice she had to make at the end made her character such a vibrant and fun one to read. So the break down is thus, Kaderin can’t...

This is about a 3 1/2 star book. I'm disappointed because I loved the first one and had high hopes for this one. It started out great. Intense, lots of chemistry, the brooding, tortured, and ultra-sexy hero, etc. But somewhere along the way KC lost it! For me, the reason for this lay in her heroine. I couldn't like her! I really wanted to, but after pages and pages of over-the-top mean and cruel behavior, not to mention utter selfishness, I just couldn't get behind her at all! I kept expecting...
