What a ride! The action and adventure kept me glued to the book. I finished this in two days. There's so much humor. The opening chapter with the storytelling at the insane asylum had me guffawing a lot. Reading a book like this is a treat. I love the world Kresely Cole has created. She manages to make demons, vampires, fey, Valkryie, werewolves and humans live in a world that is believable and fascinating. Kiss of a Demon King is not a stand alone book. You need some familiarity with the previous stories in the Immortals After Dark series to truly enjoy it.
The heroine in this story, Sabine, has magical powers. She can create illusions that are very realistic. She's the type of heroine I love. She's very witty, merry, strong without being ice-cold, capable and unafraid of sex. She is neither good nor evil. Complicated is the best word I can use for her. The hero is your usually caring, incredibly sexy alpha male. He also happens to be a rage demon and their king though he is extremely virtuous, unlike Sabine. They had a lot of sexy scenes. A lot. No complaints from me there. If you're bothered by graphic language, this book isn't for you. The hero and heroine brought out the best and worst in each other. They're both extremely strong-willed. Much of the story was a battle of the wills. Neither one gives in easily. These two really don't know the word "compromise." I felt at times the slightly BDSM relationship they had was emphasized over the budding romance, but other than that minor quibble, I would recommend this book to others who like the IAD series.
