Book Review
Kresley Cole’s No Rest for the Wicked
Kaderin the Coldhearted lives to kill vampires. Sebastian Wroth was turned against his will and longs to die. They meet and discover that Kaderin is his blood bride. Kaderin resists. She’s got a prize to win and isn’t interested, okay, she’s a little interested, in Sebastian. The pace is fast and enjoyable until the end when the sugary ending almost ruins it.
