Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

The first title in a new four-book paranormal series. Created at the dawn of time to protect humanity, the ancient warriors have been nearly forgotten, though magic lives on--in vampires, werewolves, the Celtic Sidhe, and other beings. But now one of their own has turned rogue, and the world is again in desperate need of the Immortals. Original.

Review:

"This drawn-out kickoff to a four-novel series follows Adrian, one of five immortal brothers who possess more power than any other creature in the universe and who fight to maintain the balance between dark magic and life magic in a modern fantasy world. When Adrian meets the tiger-eyed Amber Silverthorne, a witch full of strong life magic, a whirlwind romance and a world-saving quest ensues featuring a variety of sweltering loves scenes and sword-and-sorcery battles. When they aren't scorching the sheets, the pair hunt down a powerful demon who killed Amber's sister for unknown reasons. With the help of a vampire, a shape-shifting dragon, a werewolf and a Seattle detective, the two trek from Seattle to L.A., on to the Arctic and back, hoping to find answers, vengeance and possibly Adrian's brother, Tain, who's been missing for centuries. Though it would have benefited from a tighter plot, intriguing characters and a genuine sense of humanity pick up some of the slack, giving this promising series a stimulating first act."

GREAT READ!
This is the first book of the Immortal series. There are several contributing authors to this series: Jennifer Ashley, Robin T. Popp, and Joy Nash. Jennifer Ashley has done a wonderful job in The Calling. The story starts out with a witch named Amber. While trying to discover how her sister had been murdered, she attracts the attention of a powerful demon. Darius, the ancient warrior who had been chasing the demon, comes to Ambers rescue. The story combines mysticism, great characters and story line, suspense, and of course steamy love scenes. It was truly a delight to discover this series.
