I like that this book really approaches the issues of the prejudices, lack of understanding, and old emnity between the different immortals groups. By the time the ending of the book arrives, she has changed and changed Lachlan. Her progression throughout the book is amazing. Emma is fragile and innocent and doesn’t believe in herself. He is frightening and demanding and definitely the alpha male. Lachlan is very close to his beast side when he meets Emma. Sexy, funny and exciting, this novel was a fast read because I couldn’t put it down. OPINION: I can’t believe that it took me so long to discover the Immortals After Dark series. Her encounter with the wild Lachlan begins to transform Emma into the woman she was meant to be. Young in immortal years, Emma fears pain and is highly protected by her adoptive family of Valkyrie. Emmaline Troy aka Emma the Timid, is half vampire and half Valkyrie. When he discovers her, he is shocked and dismayed to discover that she is a vampire - the mortal enemies of the Lykae. Having search for her for centuries, her appearance gives him strength. A werewolf and the leader of the Lykae Clan, Lachlan escapes from his torment when he scents his mate. THE STORY: Lachlain Macrieve has been tortured by vampires for over a century. There is humor and paranormal adventure and pure sexiness and romance. “He’d waited a millennium for a helpless parasite.”įINAL DECISION: Fabulous story between a sexy werewolf and a half vampire/half Valkyrie.
