Nadz@Totally Addicted to Reading
I heard great things about the Immortals After Dark series but read none of the books. The opportunity arose for me to read Munro, book 19, in the series. Big risk, but I was assured it could stand on its own. However, to get a feel of the world before jumping into Munro, I decided to read the first two books in the series, starting with đ§ď¸The Warlord Wants Forever.
Â
The Warlord Wants Forever was an interesting, unique and bizarre tale. The story hidden in the pages of this book was dark and steeped in heat. Myst and Nickolai burned up the pages with their sexy times.
Â
Mysts actions at the outset revealed her cruel and vindictive side. Not that Nikolai was any better, as he planned to torture for information. The only difference, he didnât follow through on his plans. During this time, he made a stunning discovery: Myst was his mate. A fact he discovered through a process known as blooding. Myst abandoned him, which she believed was the merciful option, as her sisters wanted to kill him. Her decision left him in mental, physical, and sexual torment. Five years later, after searching high and low, he found her and proceeded to take his revenge.
Â
Few readers like myself would be on board with how this aspect of the story played out. The hero forcing the heroine to do his will, simply because she was his mate, and no other woman would suffice. I understand the need for revenge but taking away someoneâs free will is a bit extreme.
Â
Myst is quite the heroine. Sassy, strong, determined, funny, and a fighter. One would be hard-pressed to believe she had a crush on the hero based on her attitude towards him, but she did. Nikolai was possessive, obsessive, and dark.
Â
The story may not have wowed me, but it piqued my curiosity as it relates to the world and the variety of supernatural species.
