Narrator Robert Petkoff breathes life into the latest in Cole’s wonderful Immortals After Dark series. Rune—who is part demon, part fey—is charged with assassinating the Valkyrie Nix. While on his quest, he encounters the vampire Josephine, who fascinates him. Petkoff immediately draws the listener into the story, starting with the introduction of Josephine and her baby brother. The listener will delight in Petkoff’s rich accents for each character. His portrayal of Josephine communicates her vulnerabilities and strengths. While being familiar with the other books in the series is beneficial, it’s not necessary. Petkoff and Cole are a perfect marriage of narrator and author. S.B. © AudioFile 2016, Portland, Maine
