Kresley Cole does not talk too much about the romance which remains poetic or that kind of stuff. Cole talks about physical pleasures in detail and it is not love at first sight rather it is about the temptation at first sight which the author talks about. So much has been written in the past in the books such as A Hunger Like No Other: Immortals After Dark, Book 2 and No Rest for the Wicked: Immortals After Dark, Book 3 about these things. Still the writer finds new color in the same type of relationship through the use of attractive words. Robert Petkoff’s narration was an extra topping in this novel.
