I liked this book a lot better than book one…. It had a lot of growth from the characters to the story.

We pick up shortly after where the last book ended and see how Leah handles her immortality. Just when they think all is set and done and they can live in peace things get messy.

I really enjoyed the pace of this book it was not too fast, nor too slow.

I really thought I knew where this was going but there were a few surprises along the way and we get thrown for a loop, which I really loved .

I really enjoyed that Jack and Leah not only grew themselves but with the story.

I found both Jack and Leah a bit annoying last book, while I was still not a big fan of them I liked them better this book, that it I just got used to them. While I liked them individually better, I didn’t really care for them together. It was all a bit much and maybe seemed a bit too pushed overall and Jack sometimes came over more of an immature brat than jealous.

Artagan was still my favorite but we also mee t some pretty cool new people.

Overall I really enjoyed more than last book and thought it was a interesting book that kept me captivated to the last page.

An endless love, for an endless price.

Jack’s immortality is exposed when he prevents a liquor store heist, forcing him to flee to protect his secret—a secret not even he understands. But when he meets Leah Winters—a mirror image of his decades-lost love, Lydia—his very soul is laid bare. He begins to question his sanity. Is she real, and if so, what does that mean for Jack and his secret?

Jack’s not the only mystery man in town. A stranger named Artagan hints at knowledge Jack is desperate to possess. But can he trust Artagan, or does the dark newcomer harbor deadly secrets of his own?

As Jack’s bond with Leah grows, so does the danger to her life. Jack must discover just how much he is willing to risk in order to save the woman he already lost once.

I enjoyed this book.  I wasn’t sure in the beginning I would. It started out a bit slow and the back and forth was a bit much in the beginning. But I really ended up enjoying it and had a hard time putting the book down. The Mystery to what Jack is kept me glued to the page… the same with Leah…. It was clear early on that there is something more to her, but not what.

The book really picks up after the first 30 pages and the pace increases to a steady and enjoyable pace.  I also really liked the concept of the story and liked that we learn along with Jack what was going on.

Some of the things happening were a bit too convenient for me to fit in the story but it really didn’t bother me all too much. The beginning also reminded me a bit f the Vampire Diaries (TV show) in the beginning with the whole doppelganger theme. But again not too much and it had enough of its own content to not bother me too much and be new and fresh.

Neither Jack, nor Leah were my favorite both had a semi annoying site to them, but overall I enjoyed them. Another thing that bothered me a bit was Grady and his flip-flopping attitude towards Jack. It just didn’t feel right and a bit forced like just to be there for the drama.

I absolutely loved Ed and his shop. But by far my favorite was Artagan and I really wanted more of him and I have high hope for that in the next book.

Overall I enjoyed it and ended up enjoying it more than I thought I would and after the cliffhanger I’m curious to see what happens next.

Jack Hammond has been around for 170 years. He can’t die. After his true love succumbed to an illness he tried many ways to end his existence and none of them worked. So, every few years he moves around to keep people from being suspicious of his 20-yr-old looking face. However, when a liquor store robbery in LA goes wrong, Jack is shot twice with fatal wounds. He knows he has to skedaddle or face questions he can’t afford to answer without the risk of ending up in a straight jacket or a test laboratory. Ending up in Portland, Maine turns out to be the best move he’s made in his long life though it doesn’t seem so at the time. Who the hell is the mysterious stranger who calls himself Artagan and seems to know all about Jack? Also, running into his long lost love’s doppelganger throws Jack for a loop and he doesn’t know if he’s coming or going. Should he stay away from Leah Winters for his sanity’s sake or is it already too late? Jack has gone from a fairly monotonous life to one that is almost too exciting. Well, we know it won’t kill him. Or will it?

This is quite an interesting take on immortality. I was expecting a new trend on vampires or some kind of new fangled twist on Highlander, but this story goes in a much different direction than I was expecting and it revolves around Artagan.

I have to admit that in the beginning I thought Jack was a bit of a whiner baby. “Oh, my love died and I don’t want to go on without her, but I can’t die, so wtf? I guess I’ll just mope around for 170 years and do nothing with myself.” Ok, I get that it’s different, that Jack hates being an immortal. Not everyone wants to live forever. But 170 years of that crap? Come on, Jack! Pull up your big boy jockeys and do some interesting shit. But don’t worry, dear readers! He does after he meets the mysterious Artagan and Leah, the spitting image of his love Lydia. *That’s* when things get interesting! There is resolution to this story, but the gauntlet for the next book is definitely thrown down. I’m looking forward to seeing where this series is headed!

I want to start off saying that I am not a romance fan.  When this came up for blog tour, something made me grab it up.  It sounded like such a different storyline - and ended up completely surprising me.

Jack has been alive for over 100 years - and not aged physically a day.  Not only that, but he heals very quickly and he has no idea why.  He loved once - loved completely - and lost her.  He has never gotten over this, but when he meets a random stranger, he not only feels things he hasn't felt in a long time - but part of him knows that this is his lost love.

What a fascinating story.  It brings a whole new light to the idea of reincarnation and that one true love.  It's a great story, mysterious, and it keeps you so interested in the story that you just can't put the book down.  My first night reading, I was up til 3am still reading because I wanted to know what was going to happen next. 

This is not my first Red Adept Publishing book and I'm not one of those people that really pay a lot of attention to who published the book, BUT I have not gone wrong with this company yet.  They really know what they're doing when it comes to choosing books.  I not only will read more books they publish, but I will also be finishing this series.  Great job, Jen. :)
