Lets Get Nasty =)

I'd like to begin by saying I don't believe I have read anything by Cate Tiernan that I haven't liked! She is wonderful =) The author of the Sweep/Wicca series and of Balefire has blown it out of the park AGAIN in her newest series Immortal Beloved.

Nastasya, well that's what she is calling herself these days, has been around for more years than you can imagine. Centuries for that matter. For well over 400 years she has lived as an immortal, skipping from country to country with multiple identities and multiple skeletons in her closet. She is unhappy and disgusted by her meaningless existence and is searching for peace and acceptance of who she is.

After being frightened beyond belief by her best friend Incy she decides it is best to run and hide from her so called friends and try to the best of her ability to come to terms with her haunting past. She runs to Rivers Edge, a place for "wayward immortals" for help from the one person she has met in her 400 years who seems able to bring stability and safety to her life.

Though once at Rivers Edge Nasty runs into more than she has bargained for. She meets Reyn, the picture of perfection and absolute lust -- mixed with uncertainty and remembrance. Reyn is gorgeous, yet he is gruff, standoffish, and all around unwelcoming. She is instantly drawn to him, of course, otherwise she wouldn't be a "stupid" girl. But she is also fearful of this attraction because through it all she can't get over how familiar he looks, and anyone from her past is not only something she doesn't want to remember it's something she should we wary of.

Nasty has been running from her past for as long as she can remember, but there is a constant reminder of these horrors burned right into the back of her neck. The scar she works so hard to cover and disguise. The scare she fears will reveal who she really is and put her life in jeopardy.

With both of her immortal parents dead, along with the rest of their bloodline, Nasty is the last one standing and the only one who holds the key to the line of lost power in her immortal house. To protect herself she must relearn the past and discover who she can trust. Most importantly she must trust herself to use and control the power bestowed upon her and continue to choose light over dark. This constant power struggle will be a life long battle for good and evil, does she have it in her to take on this responsibility?
