I have always wanted to read Showalter but have always had other books on the table at the time. I still have books waiting to be read, but I figured THE IMMORTAL was worth a read if it was anything like J.R. Ward's books. And I was right!!
It took a few pages to get into and understand, but as soon as Halo and Ophelia met, everything sorted out in my mind what was happening. Now I read the blurb of the book saying Halo was going to kill Ophelia over and over again, and I was confused but I still wanted to dive in. As soon as the first kill I couldn't put my kindle down! This is the first book in a while that I stayed up late reading. Everything was on point, the world-building, the villain, the characters, the sexual tension. And let's not forget the ending!
I'm so glad I picked up THE IMMORTAL. Now I have to read the first and I cannot wait until the next in this exciting series.
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.
