It’s time for readers to get excited again because Gena Showalter has returned to the Rise of the Warlords series!
With this installment, she pairs up an unlikely couple together. Halo is a cold and merciless assassin whereas Ophelia is a fierce and spunky harpy warrior. However, the two make up a wonderful couple as they repeat the same fierce battle again and again. Normally, I’m not a fan of stories that involve infinite loops. With these types of stories, it can feel repetitive or boring. However, Showalter does a good job of creating new differences that keep it exciting.
My favorite aspect of this story was the characters though. It’s been a long time since I’ve fallen in love with a hero and heroine like this. Despite their differences, I thought that both were very interesting characters. So as they started to fall in love, it created a lot of wonderful tension and chemistry.
I had a blast reading this book and I have no question that readers will enjoy this action-packed book. Showalter is an amazing storyteller and I can’t wait to see what she has up her sleeve next!
Book Summary
New York Times bestselling author Gena Showalter delivers The Immortal, the second dark and sexy book in her Rise of the Warlords series, featuring a cold, merciless assassin and a stubborn harpy warrior... one fated to die by the other's hand.
Halo Phaninon, assassin of gods, is as cold and merciless as a machine. For victory, he crosses any line. When tasked to kill twelve of mythology’s fiercest monsters in twenty-four hours, Halo eagerly accepts. Except, each morning he awakens to the same day, forced to relive new horrors. Only one other person retains their memory—the beauty who threatens his iron control.
Ophelia the Flunk Out hates her disaster of a life. She’s the family disappointment, a harpy warrior without a kill and powerless—or is she? Nearly every night she’s doomed to repeat her own murder, but each morning she arises to spar with Halo, the ruthless warlord increasingly determined to save her…and lure her to his bed.
Halo’s insatiable desire for the stubborn Ophelia drives him wild…and he only craves more. If he remains in the time loop, they stay together. But if he escapes, they lose each other forever.
