Kresley Cole’s Dark Series

June 24, 2008

Kresley Cole.jpgShe may be categorized as a romance book author because, after all, Kresley Cole does write about love and relationship as the main idea of her books. She also created a series that is well written and delightful and yes, naughty and erotic as well on a topic that few expected - something usually left only for science fiction and fantasy. She is one of the authors of what is now called paranormal romance. In this series, she writes about the creatures of the Lore.
The Lore have been around for ages. We’ve all heard of vampires, werewolves (Lykae), ghouls, Valkyries, witches and more. In this case, they’re living really close by, closer than some think - like New Orleans, London, Paris…and a few more places. They have their squabbles and powers. They have competitions like the Talisman’s Hie and the Accession - the big shebang which happens about every 500 years which naturally is of major importance to everyone, whether one is of the lore or not, though mortals have little say in it But I get ahead of myself.

Now these are romance books so most boys will cringe rather than be caught dead anywhere near them. You bet these are by no means your chaste, general patronage love scenes. These are books to paint images in your head of scenes normally only viewed if you buy porn or are experienced yourself. That makes some happy, others uncomfortable.

Personal opinion, get past all the scenes that the publishers said must be thrown in (hey! we all know sex sells but need it be poured in so thickly?) and there is a very interesting story. For all we know, there really are creatures of the Lore hangin’ out and about. Who’s to say?

There are so far, six stories in the series. As you all know, I try to avoid spoilers so these are not going to tell you what actually happens in the books. Let me introduce you to the cast of characters and their stories.
