A Hunger Like No Other: Immortals After Dark

Don't expect this to be a work of classic literature, but of all the paranormal romance series out there, Immortals After Dark is one of the most fun. There's romance and steam, but the thing readers of the series talk about most is that it's laugh-out-loud funny. There are 15 books in this series – for readers that want to get lost in a world without waiting for authors to release new books, this is perfect. Whether Cole meant this series to be so funny is a mystery. Considering how cheesy these books can be you have to wonder if these authors are taking the mickey.One of the most enjoyable things about this series is that the female characters are all powerful creatures and posses equal parts physical strength and intelligence. (If this is your kind of thing, you'll love the Valkyries.) Equally interesting is that the heroes are flawed individuals with traumatic histories. This is important since their behavior can be off putting and it helps to understand why they do certain things.The idea that fate plays an important role in the characters' lives isn't a unique idea, but it's a decent concept to base a series on.Cole isn't a good writer. But there's a subtle humor to her narrative voice, which is a fortunate because her ability to write original erotic scenes is abysmal. If you're looking for high caliber smut – look elsewhere because you won't find it here.
