Kresley’s husband and editor, The Swede, also came and shared his experience. You can buy Kiss of a Demon King currently in three different ebook formats: Sony,(…)

One part of story Disappoints: we never see Ryd’s piercings, alas. I’m a dirty bird Wanted nasty hot sexxors This has all(…)

Dear Ms. Cole: One of my favorite things about the Immortals After Dark series is that all the books are different. Sure, there are some unifying themes – justice v. retribution, finding one’s place in the world and in love, independence v. autonomy, just to name a few – but the stories and the couples(…)

Dear Ms. Cole: As soon as I finished Dark Desires After Dusk, I went back to track rage demon Cadeon Woede’s character in Wicked Deeds on a Winter Night and Dark Needs at Night’s Edge (am I the only one who’s starting to feel these titles are blending into one long tongue twister?), curious to(…)

Dear Ms. Cole: Somewhere in the middle of Dark Needs at Night’s Edge I felt that this book occupies a very important moment in the Immortals After Dark series. As Jane said previously, this is a series one can pick up at any point and not be completely confused. But for those of us who(…)

There is a host of reasons to like Kresley Cole’s works. My top two are they are relentlessly fun and deliciously subversive. The fun is probably readily apparent, but this article is about her subversivity. Cole takes very traditional tropes and reverses them completely. For example, Cole’s books are female-centric with the female myths playing(…)

My favorite part is the 4:19 mark. I laughed so hard that Ned came over to see what was going on. Kresley is giving us some books to give away next week or so. Stay tuned. Update: Here is the link for all the videos. Updated to add: I’m currently being grilled as to why(…)

Kresley Cole is one of my favorite authors because her emphasis is on strong heroines. In both her historical series, the McCarrick Brothers Trilogy, and her paranormals, The Immortal After Dark series, the stories revolve around strong, independent heroines matching wits and sometimes, swords, with the heroes. I had the opportunity to meet Ms. Cole(…)

If You Deceive, the third and last installment in Kresley Cole's entertaining MacCarrick brothers series, gives the oldest and most difficult brother, Ethan, the chance to find his "forechosen mate . . . For his true lady alone his life and heart can save.–? Not surprisingly, the most difficult brother also proves to be the(…)

So here's the thing about Kresley Cole's books: they completely blow my nice, logical grading curve, and the most recent re-issue of the second MacCarrick brothers historical, If You Desire, is no exception. Use whatever tired metaphor you want –" this is where the rubber meets the road, caught between the devil and the deep(…)

Dear Ms. Cole, A variety of supernatural beings walk the earth in the world you have created in this book. The heroine, Emmaline Troy, is half-vampire, half-Valkyrie. Her Valkyrie mother died in childbirth and Emma has been raised by the Valkyries, warrior maidens who don’t know anything about her vampire father. Vampires are capable of(…)
