 An Amazing Story From Start To Finish!!! November 6, 2006
65 out of 72 found this review helpful
Kaderin the Cold Hearted as a Valkyrie who is haunted by the loss of her two sisters and the reason behind their deaths. She now makes it a policy not to hesitate and to do what she must when faced with evil. So why when she is sent to kill a vampire does she not follow through? The answer is clear. Fate has plans for these natural enemies and it's going to make her life miserable. Sebastian is a Vampire that makes her feel emotions for the first time since the deaths of her sister. But this vampire is not just any vamp...he claims that Kaderin is his bride and he will stop at nothing to make sure she eventually realizes it. This couldn't come at a worse time since Kaderin has a contest that she participates in every year and this year the grand prize is something she can't walk away from. Her future happiness is at stake...er in the balance.
Sebastian Wroth was turned hundreds of years ago by his brother...a brother that he has never forgiven. He awaits death eagerly...or at least he did until Kaderin arrived. How could this pint size bundle of anger and beauty be his bride? It doesn't matter...all that matters is making her admit to the truth that they belong together. She won't come willingly and there are a great many things he doesn't understand about Kaderin...it's a good thing he's patient and determined to not let his future get away from him. Now...if fate will be so kind as to cooperate.
I must admit I love Ms. Cole's writing. No matter the genre historical or paranormal she demonstrates her creative side with the stunning stories she manages to tell. Needless to say "No Rest for the Wicked" is no different. For readers that are looking for something new in the Paranormal/Fantasy genre...look no further. Ms. Cole delivers on all counts. This story never lags and our main characters combined with the numerous secondary characters are highly entertaining. Sebastian and Kaderin are a dynamic pairing and the chemistry that burns between them is unbelievable. What is even better...Ms. Cole never lets that tension weaken. In other words this is a romance that will enthrall, entertain and convince readers Ms. Cole is her for the long run. I am one pleased to realize this.

Sebastian Wroth had been turned into a vampire against his will, so when Kaderin the Cold Hearted appears to kill him, he's surprised to care! For the time in hundreds of years he feels alive. Kaderin has been without feeling since the death of her two sisters long ago, but now she's been given a chance to go back in time and save them. In order to do so, she has to win a contest, a contest she has won many times in the past, but now the stakes are so much higher and she has no intention of letting Sebastian get in the way. But, Sebastian is determined to keep up with Kaderin every step of the way and to use every situation he can to seduce her!
When I finished this book I sat in a moment of stunned silence...before I went back to read it again! Without question No Rest for The Wicked proves that Kresley Cole's, The Immortals After Dark Series, has what it takes to keep me eagerly panting for more. Intensely sensual, with every fantasy creature imaginable and loaded with action that never stops, No Rest For The Wicked is a paranormal romance lover's dream! I will be impatiently pacing in anticipation of Bowden's story!

Even better than the first one November 4, 2006

This installment of the Immortals after Dark series is excellent. I love this new world and the use of all the mythological creatures. I am looking forward to the next one.
Sebastion Wroth is the brother of Nikolai from A HUNGER LIKE NO OTHER. Nikolai forced Sebastion to drink his blood and become a vampire. Sebastion has spent the last several hundred years hating his brother and wishing he were dead. He has no hope until he meets Kaderin the Cold-Hearted, a Valkyrie who is lost in guilt over the death of her two sisters a thousand yrs ago.
Kaderin showed mercy to a vampire who repaid her by killing her sisters. She mysteriously received the blessing of no emotions, that has allowed her to live with the guilt. But when she meets Sebastion all her emotions come back. She has entered the Hie, a scavenger hunt, to win the key of Thane. A key to time, if she wins she can go back and save her sisters.
The minute Sebastion sees Kaderin he knows she is his Bride. The one woman who can make his heart beat again. Although she quickly leaves him he is determined to find her and once he does he must win her. Decideing to help her win the Hie, he enters the race against her wishes.
The tasks are all over the world and all are hard. Each one earns points, the most points wins. Sebastion wants only to help and protect Kaderin. This is a wonderful mixture of fun and romance, with a great ending.
There will be another book and I am so ready for it. The teaser at the end sounds marvelous.
Don't miss this one, if you like romance and fantasy.
 It didn't work for me... July 30, 2007
17 out of 40 found this review helpful
I've read a lot of romantic fiction and romantic paranormals and I found this storyline to be really silly. The 'bride' thing reminded me of Feehan's Carpathian life mate scenario which has been done to death in paranormals. The idea of a Valkyrie as a heroine was interesting but never really explained and there wasn't a lot of detail. Sebastian didn't interest me at all. I felt no attraction between the hero and the heroine. It was all part of the 'forced lifemate' scenario. It seemed the characters just met before they were having sex.
Overall, this was very unromantic and not very interesting. I just didn't care about any of these people. Perhaps if I was new to the romance genre and had not read a lot I would think this was better. But compared to the tremendous amount of excellent romantic fiction, this just did not measure up. 1 star.
National Treasure/Amazing Race meets Angel October 21, 2006

This was one fun read.
Sebastian is a Vampire, who does not want to be a vampire.
Kaderin is a Valkyrie, who has lost her emotions
Valkyries and Vampires are mortal enemies.
The Contest: The HIE
The Prize: The ability to change time.
I know I am sounding like an Ad, but that is the best way I could give a teaser and summary for this novel without giving too much away. The novel has to be read in order to discover the journey that Sebastien and Kaderin undertake to discover love and what they really want. Kaderin has scars that need healing because she saw her family destroyed and lost all emotion. Sebastian was turned unwillingly and is sick of the loneliness and self-hate for centuries. The HIE(the Amazing Race/National Treasure like) contest offers a prize that both want to change their lives. But when faced with the change do they really want to give up what they have achieved? I also loved Kaderin's love for her family and the internal struggle she undergoes is quite poignant.
All in all I loved this 2nd book in the series and look forward to more.
