Okay so Nikolai from the first story has nothing on his brother Sebastian. Sebastian oozes sexy. Being on of the brothers that Nikolai turned against his will, Sebastian has wanted to die for his entire immortal life but when Kaderine busts through his castle doors and tries he realizes there is a reason to be happy about his immortality... his Bride! 
 Sebastian's vulnerability is endearing but would have ended up making him unappealing if not for his commanding and wicked side. He's not dominating but he's rather a take charge and please my woman type of guy and that is very sexy. Kaderine seems to think so. 
 I liked the reactions of Kaderine who begins feeling after centuries of emotionalessness due to the lose of her sisters. And every moment of her competing in the Hie was fascinating and worth the read. 
 I am looking forward to Regin's story after Kaderine gave that criminal boss her number. 
 Cole really is weaving an excellent story.
