Immortal Unchained by Lynsay Sands
4.0

Another surprise from Lynsay Sands, as my first exposure to her was lack-luster. The first two books I read from her were just okay, so I'm ecstatic that the last two I've read were actually good. I also appreciated that I can read this series out of order and it still makes sense.

Immortal Unchained gave me a bit of a deeper subplot, reminiscent of The Island of Dr. Moreau; shit got dark and I was deeply invested. The romance was good as well, nice and steamy with the lovely trope of "we're alone and stranded, let's try to survive/escape." I honestly eat that trope up, I could read stuff like that all day and luckily the first half of this book delivers on that theme incredibly well. Also, for the second half of the book, I found myself obsessing over a side character. Thorne. Oh my God he needs his own book. I need to know everything about him.

Anyway, I would recommend this book if you want a quick, steamy adventure with a really dark subplot.
