Sometimes being immortal makes you wish you were dead.
Celeste Crenshaw has survived her parents' grisly murders, grueling and gender-biased police training, a battle with rogue vampires, and even her own death. While immortality might seem a dream come true, can she accept the strings attached?
Celeste spends the start of her immortal life being mentored by the Elders of the Hollow Earth. They release her once they feel certain Celeste has honed her supernatural powers. But little do they know, Celeste isn't wholly committed to granting eternal life to those deserving. Upon a return home to her immortal lover, and the Kansas City Detective Squad, she battles mortal foes, not so unlike the demonic undead. And when a fellow detective falls victim to a murderous gang member, Celeste faces a gut-wrenching decision and the possible wrath of the Elders.
Firstly thank you to Partners in Crime Tours, CamCat Publishing and D.B Woodling for having me on this tour and sending me the book.
The cover drew me to the book originally, the blurb then kept me there and the brilliant storyline and writing made sure I couldn't put it down. I did feel that the beginning was quite abrupt but I think that's because I hadn't read The Immortal Twin (something I will be rectifying) first which, from what I understand, ends where this book picks up. But I didn't feel that was a problem in the long run, I got plenty of background information about all the brilliant characters which filled in any blanks I might have had from not reading the other book. I did have to suspend the history nerd in me when reading about the Elders to begin with but by the end of the book I loved their characters and the way they wove in and out of the story.
I really enjoyed Celeste learning how to use her supernatural powers and how she didn't always manage it, I especially loved reading about it from the different Elder's points of view it made me laugh a few times the way they saw her.
I've loved reading this book as you can probably tell, and I can't wait to read The Immortal Twin but I'm really really hoping we get more of The Immortal Detective series soon, especially with how it ended! Fingers crossed I get to read more in the new year!
Thanks so much for posting. I am just into this book myself. It is really fun so far! :-)
