'After some of the events I've witnessed I felt like I was a shell with nothing alive left in me. I hadn't been going around killing people, but people were hurt - the memories just kept trickling in like rivulets of fresh acid dripping into my brain until I wanted to scream. It was in my blood, I knew. A darkness. The darkness. I had inherited it, along with my immortality and my black eyes.' New name, new town, new life. Nastasya has done it too often to count. And there's no end in sight. Nothing ever really ends ...when you're immortal. Captivating, intense and with an incredible and original voice, IMMORTAL BELOVED is a haunting story of friendship, love and secrets, tragedy and loss.

Nastasya (or Nasty) is an immortal. And she's spent the last century or so of her life partying with a group of fellow immortals. And none of them are particularly great people. But when her best friend uses magic to break a man's back, Nasty starts to reevaluate her life choices. Almost a century a...
Nastasya is an immortal party-girl who decides to change her meaningless life. The process to find herself is difficult for her and even more difficult for us. Throughout the trilogy, Nastasya talks and talks, decides and recounts, loves and hates over and over again. The books have some good scenes...
3.5 stars. Immortal Beloved was a great, entertaining read, but when I think back on it nothing really ever happened and the book was pretty predictable.
