I could go on about this book for absolutely ages. It is hands down my favourite one of the IAD series, I would read it again and again.
Kresley Cole took a bit of a leap I feel with this one as she introduced a new couple that had not been mentioned or even hinted to before. Whilst Jo has connections to other characters from previous books, Rune's background is again entirely new. I think KC risked these characters therefore not really being accepted by IAD readers but they are absolutely brilliant. Funny, confident, feisty, full of individual personality that gets full development. I love both of them and I love the story they are given. I love the book after this that follows the same group of characters (Wicked Abyss) where Jo and Rune show up again!
I could say more but just... 5 stars, brilliant in all ways.

Josie is a gem. Rune doesn’t make the best decisions but in the end, redeems himself. I finished book 6 and jumped to this one since technically you can read them out of order, but I think I did myself a bit of a disservice doing so. Felt a little out of the loop on things, esp since Nïx is so central to this plot and I didn’t really know what was going on Accession-wise at this point. Overall though, steamy as usual and I felt like these two had a more emotional connection than IAD6 I had just read.
