A Fire Fairy Review
I received an e-copy of the book in exchange for an honest review.
My Soul Immortal is a story about Jack Hammond, an immortal trapped in the nightmares of his past. He carried the guilt on the death of his father and Lydia, the love of his life. After a night that could possibly reveal his true nature forced him to move to another place. And there he met Leah, a dead-ringer to his Lydia, and Taragan, a man who might just be like him, and holds the key to all his questions.
Believing himself to be damned, he tries to stay away from Leah, but their attraction can't be denied. As more mysteries are revealed, the more danger dangerous it becomes for Jack and Leah. Will they finally find eternal love or will Jack face his fate that's worse than death?
As a romance book, I was surprised that the story was told in Jack's POV. It was a refreshing change from the usual heroine's POV. But sadly, it still felt like it was on a girl's POV. I had a hard time liking Jack's character at first. He was depressing, whiny, and weak. Leah's character was even stronger than his. It was a good thing he redeemed himself towards the end.
The first few chapters of the book were good. It was interesting and I wanted to read more to find out the secrets of Jack's immortality. Unfortunately I got bored in the middle chapters. It felt like a lot of fillers were added just to make the book longer. The romance was bland and I didn't feel the spark or chemistry between Jack and Leah. I figured this isn't just about romance but still, I wanted more. There was one time that I thought about not finishing this book but I decided to continue anyway. I'm glad I did because the last chapters were great. It was exciting and I'm just so happy that Jack finally decided to be man enough. I loved the ending and the author has given enough teaser for me to look forward to the next book. Yup, I would definitely read the next book.
I give My Soul Immortal 3.5 fairy wings. It was a good book, I was entertained in some parts but I got bored in some. The book holds a lot of promise and I can feel that the series will just get better with the next book. I want to recommend this to readers who want a paranormal story that isn't heavy on romance. I also want to recommend this to male readers who reads YA paranormal.
