Demon from the Dark Immortals After Dark Series Book 8 Kresley Cole 9781439123126 Books

The hero for this book is unique from his predecessors, and although this book also features a kidnap scenario, it's way different from Kiss of the Demon King's plot. Kiss involves a personal vendetta, while this one involves a secret human organization experimenting on immortals. A little similar to Stolen by Kelley Armstrong, perhaps, but Kresley Cole puts her own spin into it.

Carrow was never on my radar and I never liked her whenever she appeared in any of the previous books, but she is now one of my favorites from the heroines so far. In this book, she is sent into the desolate demon realm where Malkolm resides and lures him back to earth, only to get captured by the humans to be used as a lab rat. She is forced to do this because her adopted daughter is held hostage, but this causes Malkolm to lose trust in her. They escape from the lab but are trapped in an island and the girls have to depend on Malkolm for survival.

Aside from Carrow's personal conflict with Malkolm, there is also the bigger conflict regarding the war between the factions of the immortals looming on the horizon. I really like that Kresley Cole is able to juggle the Accession, the mini-war between the Pravus and Vertas immortals on the island, and give us glimpses into Regin and Lanthe's stories without deviating from the main plot. A LOT of authors tend to deviate away from the main characters when they're setting up the bigger picture, but Carrow and Malkolm are fleshed out and beautifully characterized here.

I can't wait for the next book!

Demon from the Dark Immortals After Dark Series Book 8 Kresley Cole 9781439123126 Books Reviews

Malcolm, a demon who has led a life filled with torture and betrayal, was turned into a vemon and forced to kill his best friend by the vampire that captured them. After that he vowed revenge on the demon who betrayed them both. He holed up in a cave that controlled the water that the surrounding area needed, knowing that the betrayer would come to try to get the water back.
In the mean time, Carrow, party girl and witch extraordinaire is being held captive on an island where mortals are conducting experiments on members of the lore. Her niece who is seven, is brought in after her mother was killed in battle. Carrow immediately takes responsibility for the child and says she will adopt her. The people running the Order tell her if she travels to the demon realm and captures the vemon she and Ruby will be free.
When she gets there, through a portal, she has a week to get him and return to the portal.
When Malcolm smells her scent he recognized her as his fated mate.
The story takes their meeting and Carrow coming to care for Malcolm through the usual perals Ms. Cole provides for her H and h. I read the next book, about Regan the Radient before this by accident but I felt doing so contributed to this story, and I prefer this book over Regans. I loved the character development in the book and the way Carrow and Malcolm grew to care about each other and when Malcolm felt Carrow betrayed him he came to understand that she did it for Ruby.
My favorite of the IAD series. I really like the beauty and the beast vibe, between witch Carrow and "Demon!" (vemon) Malkom Slaine. I couldn't put this novel down. I honestly have a soft spot for characters that are written in such a way that they will go to any length to be with and protect their fated mate. Malkom wanted his mate so much that he was willing to give up his deep seated revenge to go to the ends of the realm with Carrow, wherever she went, he went, no questions asked. The over powerful vemon with a soft and vulnerable side, and a charming, funny and sexy witch to match who must make a choice.... And, what I really loved about "Demon From the Dark," Carrow and Malkom didn't hate on each other like a lot of other IAD series characters are written. There wasn't any turmoil of, "Is she/he the one?" Instead, add a circumstance that denotes betrayal but an honorable one at that... BAM! Love story. And a sexy one at that!
"Those who betray me do it only once."

FINAL DECISION I love stories with tortured men and Malkom has been tortured throughout his life. He meets Carrow and his sweetness and innocence -- even while he is offering her ghoul heads as courtship tokens -- is lovely.

THE STORY Carrow Graie aka Carrow the Incarcerated is a witch and a party girl whose magic originates from the good feelings of others. Her joy, however, hides a pained heart. Rejected by her parents, Carrow desperately wants to gain their attention. In the midst of her personal strife, Carrow is captured by a human group experimenting on members of the Lore. Carrow is offered freedom if she agrees to help capture a vemon (vampire demon) named Malkom Slaine. Malkom is a demon outcast who was unwillingly poisoned by vampire blood. He now lives alone desiring revenge. When Carrow appears, he realizes that he has finally found his mate. Malkom has killed everyone who has betrayed him. What will he do when he realizes that Carrow has as well?

OPINION Both Carrow and Malkom have sad pasts. The tension and drama where Carrow betrays Malkom ripped my heart out. Malkom is immediately such a good and sweet man who hasn't had a life that has allowed him to show that side of himself. As he accepts Carrow as his own and courts her in his awkward and often mistaken way, he charms the reader and ultimately Carrow herself. These two seem likely doomed from the moment they meet. I also liked the caveman/city girl relationship these two have at first where they do not communicate well.

Cole once again perfectly melds the relationship between Carrow and Malkom with a plot that advances the overarching storyline of the series. While big things happen here, both old and new characters appear, the story never loses focus on the relationship of Carrow and Malkom and the question of whether a man who has been betrayed by everyone can love the woman who also betrays him.

WORTH MENTIONING This book sets up the next round of books.

CONNECTED BOOKS DEMON FROM THE DARK is the tenth book in the Immortals After Dark series. This book can be read as a standalone although new readersr should be aware that there is an overarching story of the series.

STAR RATING I give this book 4.25 stars.
