Wicked Abyss
Wicked Abyss, (Immortals After Dark, Book 18), by Kresley Cole
Blurb:The terrifying king of hell...As a boy, Abyssian “Sian” Infernas had his heart shattered by a treacherous fey beauty who died before he could exact vengeance. Millennia later, a curse has transformed him into a demonic monster—just as she’s been reincarnated. Sian captures the delicate but bold female, forcing her back to hell.Meets his match.Princess Calliope “Lila” Barbot’s people have hated and feared Abyssian and his alliance of monsters for aeons. When the beastly demon imprisons her in his mystical castle, vowing revenge for betrayals she can’t remember, Lila makes her own vow: to bring down the wicked beast for good.Can two adversaries share one happily-ever-after?As Calliope turns hell inside out, the all-powerful Sian finds himself defenseless against his feelings for her. In turn, Lila reluctantly responds to the beast’s cleverness and gruff vulnerability. But when truths from a far distant past are revealed, can their tenuous bond withstand ages of deceit, a curse, and a looming supernatural war?I'm a huge fan of Kresley Cole, especially this series, and I loved this book. It's very Beauty and the Beast, which just happens to be my favourite fairy tale - complete with library!As always Kresely Cole has a spunky, badass heroine, who you can't help cheering on, especially when she was making traps for Sian, and a hot but troubled hero, who you can fall in love with! The banter between them was brilliant to read and I found myself laughing out loud several times. Likewise, the chemistry between them was well written, as it always is, and the development of their relationship was believable... well as believable as a relationship between a fey princess and the King of Hell can be!As for the setting... It was interesting to see this idea of Hell. It's wasn't particularly hellish but I liked it nonetheless and would like to see more stories set there. It would have been nice to have seen other demons though, especially the legions. Also, the more I hear about Morior, the more intrigued I am - I really, really hope Uthyr the dragon and Darach get their own books - plus, I'm intrigued as to what will happen between the Morior and Nix and her allies.I think it's fair to say I can't wait for the next book in this series!My favourite quotes from 'Wicked Abyss':'Note to self: be in charge of future political plots or be excluded from them.''He recalled his threat to throw her to the legions. After this attack, he thought it more appropriate to threaten the legions with her.''Holding sway over one of the most powerful beings in the universe meant she was powerful.'' "Why shouldn't I believe you were involved in your parents' plot to tale my crown?""Because it still sits upon your goddamned head." '
