MY THOUGHTS

FIRST IMPRESSION: Immortals who are not Vampires…I think I like this. 

MY REVIEW IN ONE SENTENCE: A slow-burning, contemplative tale...that is both historical and contemporary.

Nastasya has lived an incredibly long life and because of this, she has so many stories to tell. This story actually snuck up on me slowly, there isn't a lot of action, but there is a lot of introspection. I do have to say for someone who has lived as long as she has…she has a lot of growing up to do. With that being said, I still think she is a cool, and seriously badass chic. I liked her because she seems to be on the right path now.

The world of Immortal Beloved is alluring yet intimidating. It seems to me living that long could get really boring, especially with the life she had been living. On the other hand, think of all the books you could read with that kind of time.

The Distance Between Us by Kasie West

"I've missed my hot chocolate. I just think of you as the guy who brings it to me. Sometimes I forget your name and call you hot chocolate guy.” 

My Thoughts:

I loved Caymen, her snark, her indecisiveness, she was effervescent.  She was excellently portrayed by Jorjeana Marie.  I really believe she captured her sarcastic personality well.  I would highly recommend listening to the audio version.  The story's overall believability is what ultimately pulled me in and kept me hooked.

Sex Factor:  None, a squeaky clean romance.
