But Rune’s latest target is none other than our favourite Valkyrie oracle, Nix, and when he takes his shot at her, she just happens to be with Jo’s now-grown brother (the mysterious ‘Thad’ who has appeared in a number of books now… She is turned on beyond belief, but less than impressed at Rune’s sluttiness, and after some quick banter, she dismisses him. Rune and Jo first meet when he is engaged in such activities in an alleyway. It just so happens I’m rich beyond measure. I pay them well in their favorite currency: stiff fuckings with a stout cock. The man is sex on legs, and he proudly and willingly uses his appeal to get the information he needs for his job as an assassin. He is a dark fae (half fae/half demon), and also goes by the name Rune the Insatiable. Rune Darklight is a member of the newly-introduced Møriør, a mysterious and elite group of warriors. I survived probably because I’m wicked strong and all.” Reluctantly and heartbreakingly leaving her baby brother, Thaddeus, in the care of a loving family, she dedicates herself to watching over him and protecting her little section of New Orleans, defending the weak and using her vampirish/ghostish powers for good. Living on the streets and caring for her infant brother, it’s not until she’s 11 that her life shifts and she discovers that she is something ‘other’, but she’s not quite sure what that is. Josephine is a kickass heroine who has no memory of her life before the age of 8. They do and take what they want and they make no apologies, which I love, and their chemistry is absolutely insane! I loved them both instantly, and together they are something truly special. Both new to the series, Rune and Josephine are strong, funny, brave and smart with wicked senses of humour, high sex drives and they are both refreshingly blunt and honest. Wow, I loved this book! I’m a huge fan of Immortals After Dark, and this book takes everything I love about this series and takes it up a notch, and it was so freaking good! And that’s mostly down to the awesomeness of the two lead characters.
