Publisher's summary

Nastasya has spent the last century living as a spoiled, drugged-out party girl. She feels nothing and cares for no one. But when she witnesses her best friend, a Dark Immortal, torture a human, she realizes something's got to change. She seeks refuge at a rehab for wayward immortals, where she meets the gorgeous, undeniably sexy Reyn, who seems inexplicably linked to her past.

Nastasya finally begins to deal with life, and even feels safe - until the night she learns that someone wants her dead.

Cate Tiernan, author of the popular Sweep series, returns with an engaging story of a timeless struggle and inescapable romance, the first book in a stunning new fantasy trilogy.

Enjoyed this book!

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

Def made me laugh. Lintz makes Nastasya SO funny!!! Her sarcasm and wits, snide commentary on everything going on was just great. Lintz did a fantastic job.

Any additional comments?

This book was better than my expectations. Nastasya's voice throughout the book was SO funny! It was very entertaining to hear her sarcasm and comments.
The writer/character did milk a couple of things and made me think "okay, okay. I GET IT! MOVE ON!" some times, but overall she had me laugh and enjoy her story.
The movement of the book is a little slow but that didn't bother me most of the time. I loved how Tiernan skillfully put in Nastasya's background, and how vivid everything was.
The characters are good, interesting characters I haven't quite read before. Some of the people she encounters are so wise and lovely, some are hilariously obnoxious, and Nastasya herself is hilariously obnoxious right back to said characters that it just made me laugh.
This is a story of growth. Make no mistake. There's no giant-world ending-we're all going to die-conflict here. You know something big and dangerous is definitely coming in Nastasya's future, but it doesn't take place in this book. This book is more of introducing you to the characters, their pasts and experiencing Nastasya's growth as a person.
Even with the lack of mind-blowing conflict, it was still a really really good read. Nothing every felt too much like a waste of time.
I definitely enjoyed this book and will be reading the next one.

A+

I have been a fan of Cate Tiernan since the sweep series. This book was wonderful and I have already recommended it to several friends.

Amazing read!

I loved this book!!! It was funny and heartbreaking. I love the sarcasm and magic!

Murder, Mystery, Magic & Immortals in rehab, oh my

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Yes! The book is excellent, unique and intriguing that will draw you in from the first chapter until the very last.

The characters were some of my favorite from my recently read books especially Reign.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Definitely! It's very hard to put down.

Any additional comments?

4.5 Stars!

Excellent book with mystery, magic, and super hot immortals in rehab. You may be thinking that this is a semi-strange combo, but it works, trust me.

I listened to this on audible and the narration was wonderful.

I loved all the characters especially Reign. I'm hoping we get to see more action between him and our main character in book 2. I have a feeling it is going to get a bit steamy. I can't wait to start listening to the sequel.

magical

I love Cate Tiernan's books!

And it's only because I've already read some of her work that I knew to stick with this one. The main character is so cringy I could not stand her... I thought about stopping the book, but I realized she started out like that for a reason, I stuck with it.... and now I love the main character! She's flawed, messy, imperfect, but very relatable.

Loved it

Cate Tiernan is one of my favorite authors but the narrator really brought this book to life amazing loved it

This was an absolute fantastic series

With a fresh and new storyline, the characters are brought wonderfully to life. The only disappointment is that the third book of this series has not been made into audio format. I read this series and then purchased the audio books. It honestly should be made into a movie. Way better than Twilight.

Awesome to hear the stories being told.

Would you listen to Immortal Beloved again? Why?

Yes, I already have.

What did you like best about this story?

Everything. The wonderful detail and full plot.

Which character – as performed by Kelly Lintz – was your favorite?

Nasty. Loved Loved her character and the way it was spoken.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

Having her realize and feel everything that she has ignored.

Any additional comments?
