'After some of the events I've witnessed I felt like I was a shell
with nothing alive left in me. I hadn't been going around killing
people, but people were hurt - the memories just kept trickling in
like rivulets of fresh acid dripping into my brain until I wanted
to scream. It was in my blood, I knew. A darkness. The darkness. I
had inherited it, along with my immortality and my black eyes.' New
name, new town, new life. Nastasya has done it too often to count.
And there's no end in sight. Nothing ever really ends . . . when
you're immortal. Captivating, intense and with an incredible and
original voice, IMMORTAL BELOVED is a haunting story of friendship,
love and secrets, tragedy and loss.
What is your birthright? Vivi Neves has rejected everything her
parents hold dear - their heritage, culture, traditions - and their
dark family secret: they're haguari - cat people, shapeshifters who
turn into jaguars, as their ancestors have done for thousands of
years. Then, tragically, her parents are killed. Vivi can cling to
her own beliefs and live her life the way she wants -or she can
embrace her heritage and avenge her parents' deaths. With danger
closing in on her, her decision is forced . . . and she's pulled
deeper into a mystery that gets darker and more dangerous until
finally she must face her heritage . . . or die.
He is the thorn in my side, nightmare of my past, destroyer of my
family . . . And the one whose fevered kisses I had relived over
and over as I lay exhausted and unable to sleep. And yet night
after night, he - who had kicked down hundreds of doors - had not
brought himself to knock on mine. Nastasya has lived for more than
400 years but things never get any easier. As she learns more about
herself, she questions whether it will ever be possible to break
free from the darkness of her former life. Can she turn away from
the one person she wants to be with above all others? Should her
past determine who she should - or should not - love? Desire, death
and painful secrets are revealed in this compulsively addictive
sequel to Immortal Beloved.
"Every ending is a new beginning."
In the first two Immortal Beloved novels, 450-year-old ex-party
girl Nastasya Crowe spends five months at River's Edge, a rehab for
immortals with troubled pasts. In between uncovering her family's
epic magickal history and flirting with Reyn, a heartbreakingly hot
Viking wonder boy, Nastasya finally learns that being good is a
choice within her power. Just as she's starting to truly change,
she discovers that someone is killing immortals around the world
and that River's Edge and her new friends may be the next targets.
Armed with her own brand of kick-butt magick, Nastasya joins forces
with her immortal friends and teachers as they battle an evil that
has plagued the world for much too long. By claiming her heritage,
Nastasya fights back against darkness...but can she also fight
against true love? Probably not if Reyn has anything to say about
it.
With vivid historical flashbacks, stark emotional reckoning, and
laugh-out-loud dialogue, the Immortal Beloved trilogy is a
fascinating and unique take on what it would mean to live forever.
At the end of DARKNESS FALLS, the second Immortal Beloved novel,
Nastasya has fought back against the dark immortals with her own
brand of magick... but can she fight against true love? In the
exhilarating finale to the Immortal Beloved trilogy, Nastasya ends
a 450-year-old feud and learns what 'eternally yours' really means.
"You can run from your past, but it will always catch up."
""Nastasya has lived for hundreds of years, but for some reason it
never seems to get any easier. She's left behind her days of
debauchery to find peace and forgiveness at River's Edge, a safe
haven for wayward immortals. There she's uncovered her family's
epic history, reclaimed her magickal powers, and met Reyn, whom she
dubs "the Viking god. " Just as she settles into her new life,
Nastasya learns that her old friends might be in town....
Reuniting with her gorgeous and dangerous ex-best-friend,
Innocencio, Nas wonders if she'll ever be truly free of her dark
legacy. Is Incy dangerous, power-hungry, and wicked? Or is he the
only one who truly understands Nas's darkness? Either way, Nas is
desperate to find out who she really is-even if the answer kills
her.
