Product Description:
In this subsequent installment in the Immortals After Dark Series, USA Today Bestselling author Kresley Cole delivers a scorching tale about a forbidding vampire who lives in the shadows and the beautiful assassin who hunts him there.
A soldier weary of life . . .
Centuries ago, Sebastian Wroth was turned into a vampire -- a nightmare in his mind -- against his will. Burdened with hatred and alone for ages, he sees little reason to live. Until an exquisite, fey creature comes to kill him, inadvertently saving him instead.
A Valkyrie assassin dispatched to destroy him . . .
When Kaderin the Cold Hearted lost her two beloved sisters to a vampire attack long ago, a benevolent force deadened her sorrow -- accidentally extinguishing all of her emotions. Yet whenever she encounters Sebastian, her feelings -- particularly lust -- emerge multiplied. For the very first time, she's unable to complete a kill.
Become competitors in a legendary hunt.
The prize of the month-long contest is powerful enough to change history, and Kaderin will do anything to win it for her sisters. Wanting only to win her, forever, Sebastian competes as well, taking every opportunity -- as they travel to ancient tombs and through catacombs, seeking relics around the world -- to use her new feelings to seduce her. But when forced to choose between the vampire she's falling for and reuniting her family, how can Kaderin live without either?

What a great story. My heart went out for Sebastian. He was so alone for so long, finally he found his mate. Yes, Kaderin was annoying in the beginning, but once her "feelings" kicked in, she became likable. All-in-all, this book is a keeper.

If you like paranormal romance with great humour I think you should give Kresley Cole's Immortal After Dark Series a chance. Her creative twist on werewolves, vampires, valkyrie, demons, and witches is imaginative and highly entertaining. Take a look inside her book and see if you agree. To see what sort of reading perspective I come from, I love the following paranormal romance authors: Christine Feehan, Larissa Ione (Sydney Croft), J.R. Ward, Robin D. Owen, Lora Leigh, Alexis Morgan, Sherrilyn Kenyon, Susan Sizemore, Lara Adrian, and Lynn Viehl.

Liked the heroine, strong willed and ready for action at all times. On the other hand, the vampire hero is quite whiney, lost and weak. I started the series with this book and then found out there is a previous installment. Recommendation - start with the very first book for sure. All in all, the series is great, but don't judge only based on this book.

Ms. Cole, again, did a great job in character development in No Rest for the Wicked, and the Tailsman's Hie did not disappoint at all.
While the Kaderin and Sebastian did hit it off a little too early in the story for my taste, the actual "falling in love" part of the story was very well written.
Character-wise, although Kaderin is a very strong-minded female, her stubbornest never went beyond reason. As much as I would constantly wish she could fall for Sebastian a little earlier, because he is such a gentle and loveable guy, her holding back never got to a point when I got annoyed with her doing so. I also love Sebastian a lot, because he is such a great character, although he does have some issue with his brothers.
The whole Talisman's Hie was very intense, and it tied very well with the development of the two's relationship. Basically, it's another book I couldn't put down until the very last page.
As much as I like Book 1, A Hunger Like No Other, of the seris a little more, Book 2 of the Immortals After Dark Series is definately a wonderful read and will not disappoint.

After reading the very first book in this series "A Hunger Like No Other", I started this one. I liked the very first book a lot but found that it seemed to lose some momentum - this one didn't!
Such a reprieve to find a strong heroine that doesn't constantly do ridiculously silly things and rely on the hero to get her out of her fixes.
I really enjoy the way Kresley Cole writes dialogue and thoughts as well, believable, witty and funny. It's a nice change to read a romance that doesn't constantly repeat words and/or phrases over and over again until you want to scream if you read it one more time.
I'll definately be reading more of this series!
