First Thought when Finished: Demon from the Dark by Kresley Cole has given me a new favorite leading man in Malkom!
Overall Thoughts (quick review): Poor Malkom! I swear that guy just can’t get a break but having him fall for Carrow was not something I saw coming. Their personalities were combustible when together and that made their romance HAWT! They were great characters even though I was determined not to like Carrow. She won me over though and that is a testament to Kresley’s writing. The story of what brought these two together was action packed and well played out. It will pull on your heartstrings as both Carrow and Malkom feel not-wanted, not-worthy, and overall like outcasts. Together they work through everything: lack of common language (in the beginning), feelings, wants, and desires. I am sad it took me this long to get to this series but I am glad that I am here now.
Audio Thoughts:
Narrated By Robert Petkoff/ Length: 12 hrs and 25 mins
Robert Petkoff is perfect for this series. He has the right amount of macho for the guys and he has a nice suave for the ladies. He pretty much nails Kresley’s writing style every time!
Final Thoughts: On the next one!

Ooh, I haven’t read this particular story but I love when the romance and sparks are flying everywhere!
I liked Carrow more than I thought I was going to. I’m such a huge Valkrie fan, but really all the characters in this series are awesome!
I would give this one a listen. Although it sounds mostly like a romance, I like the paranormal aspect.
I have not read an audio book yet. It sounds like I should try it though. Thanks for rating this one.
This is another series I have been considering to do on audio. Since you recommend the narrator… that is good enough for me!
Cole is an author I want to try, and it sounds like this hit all the right markers for you 🙂
I have enjoyed the ones I have read 🙂
Ok I want to meet this HAWT guy.
I loved this one too. It is one of my favorites in the series (which is one of my favorite series). Glad to hear that you liked it as much as I did. 🙂
I love this audiobook 🙂 Loved it when I read it, and so much more when I listened. I’m glad you enjoyed it too.
