Summary

*A captivating paranormal romance from NYT & USA Today best-selling author Kym Grosso. Experience the mysterious and alluring world of The Immortals of New Orleans.*

After a series of girls are ritualistically murdered on the cold streets of Philadelphia, seasoned detective Sydney Willows is forced to work with sexy, alpha vampire, Kade Issacson. As the case develops, so does Sydney's attraction to her new partner—no matter how hard she tries to fight it.

Kade, determined to solve the case and mete out justice, is captivated by the independent, fiery detective. While he attempts to protect her from a very real murderer, his concern for the beautiful, but very human detective, grows. She could easily end up dead should she tangle with supernatural forces that are beyond her control.

The investigation leads them into the dark and dangerous underbelly of New Orleans, where together, they search for the perpetrators of the Voodoo killings. When Sydney becomes the target of the killer, she ends up fighting for her life and love in the Big Easy. If she makes it out alive, will she give into the intoxicating desire she feels for Kade?

Kade’s Dark Embrace is the first book in The Immortals of New Orleans series. Although many of my fans prefer the series in order, each book is written to be listened to standalone.

Critic reviews

"This is a fast paced read that had me hooked from the beginning. Ms. Grosso grabs your attention and doesn’t let go. Sex scenes are steamy and well written.... If you are looking for a great new series I hope you will consider Kade’s Dark Embrace, you will not be disappointed!” (Night Owl Reviews)

Action Packed Vampire Advneture

What did you like most about Kade's Dark Embrace?

I loved the different twists and spins going through out the book it kept you hooked and wanting to know what was going to happen next !!!

What was one of the most memorable moments of Kade's Dark Embrace?

I just loved the whole story it was one of adventure, exploration of the unknown as well as battling evil that is around threatening their futures .

What does Ryan West bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you had only read the book?

I love the smoothness and flow of the way he told the book and also with him saying some of the names and other unusual names you get to hear it how the author want's to be said!! also much more imagination is used when describing some scenes

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

No i wish i could but listened to it snippets while getting on with daily life !!

Total drivel

This is the worst book I have ever had the misfortune to listen to. I have no idea what book everyone else downloaded but it couldn’t have been the same book I did.
The narrator had an inflection in his voice that made everything sound like a question. That may be because he was wondering what the hell he was reading and considering if he was paid enough. He had a lovely timbre to his voice and a simple read would have been much more entertaining.
I also have to say that his South African accent was impressive- if the character hadn’t have been Australian, he’d have been spot on.
The lead female character is extremely unlikable and although she is described as a badass detective at every available opportunity, she rushes in head first into every dangerous situation and she loses her weapon every bloody time. Someone should have superglued the f***ing thing to her hand.
Also she must be a supermodel with fairy dust in her knickers because she is instantly lusted over by every man who sets eyes on her, even though she is an ill mannered shrew. I am all for strong female characters but this one is just argumentative for the sake of it. Darwin’s natural selection would have killed her off years ago for simple stupidity.
I liked the male lead character but you are left wondering how can he be arsed with this nightmare of a woman.
Sorry. Definitely not for me and I will not be following the story arc into the next books.
This author was recommended to me as I am a big fan of Kresley Cole. Not even in the same league. Please don’t waste a credit.

Cheesy!

Really thought I’d like this book, but the detective mystery was lame, and the romance and steam was cringe worthy and cheesy. The narrators performance I think added to the cringe worthiness and his Australian accent was atrocious. Just his accent alone would put me off listening to the next book about Luca the Aussie vampire. It’s a shame as I wanted to like this book and the author, but her style of writing just did not gel with me. Sentences such as “please kade, please kade, I’m coming, I’m coming, I’m coming dont stop.” Just made me cringe and not feel all hot and steamy. If you want some insta love cheesy sex scenes with a lacking plot of a story, them this is the book for you.

Just didn't do it for me.

I'm not sure if it was the narration or the book on a whole :-( but I found the female lead was annoying and that there was not enough detail in Kades background or in anything to be honest. I love my vampire/ werewolf/ supernatural goings on books but this just didn't cut it for me.
