Spent St. Patty's Day with my favorite Irishman. 🍀 Declan Chase aka Aidan the Fierce. I listened to this book for the first time (#fatedmatespod), but have read it countless times. Listening to the series is giving me a whole new appreciation for the IAD world. Dreams of a Dark Warrior is my favorite book in the Immortals After Dark series, written by @kresleycole . Yep, I said it. My FAVORITE! Regin the Radiant has (IMHO) stolen every scene she's been in up to this point in the series. She's flippant and snarky, with the most outrageous sense of humor that makes me laugh out loud! She's also fiercely loyal. Her suffering in this story provided more insight to her strength and resiliency, and my heart broke for her when she cried in Chase's arms. I LOVE HER more than any other character in the series! Her hero, Aidan? He had his good and bad points. I appreciated that he trained a young Regin for battle, but always felt as though he still didn't see her as an equal. His many reincarnations over the years were "meh". As Declan, he's definitely not on the "right side" of things; nonetheless, his character is fantastic. Like Regin, he's loyal and invested in his cause. Given his past, I see him fighting against the immmortals as being completely reasonable. Why wouldn't he torture and murder the Immortals he'd been trained to think wanted to destroy humanity? Also, who wouldn't want to destroy the beings responsible for wiping out your ENTIRE family?! He's a tortured hero with major issues, but he sets them aside so that he can be what Regin needs! More importantly, he sees Regin and appreciates her strengths. It was so rewarding to see them accept one another, flaws and all. I loved that Regin fell in love with the man, and not the Aidan reincarnation. With a terrific cast of secondary characters (Natalya, Thad, Brandyr, Lothaire) and lots of action, this book kept me captivated from one chapter to the next. #bookstagrammers #readromance #bookstoread #mimirecommends #mimireadsromance2019 #IAD #immortalsafterdarkseries #fatedmates #kresleycole #readersofinstagram #reader #books #fatedmatespodcast https://www.instagram.com/p/BvIKW1UgzCU/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=tbbm7y4i3tze
