The Immortal Who Loved Me by Lynsay Sands

3.5

I've been working my way through this series, one after another. They formulaic, but I can deal with that to a degree. I was wanting to know how the whole Leo thing wrapped up. It was not what I was expecting and felt like a let down.

The whole was this SA/rape or was it not grated on me as it was most definitely SA. I did almost throw my headphone off and stop when there was a hint he would be excused because he was drunk. Like no, please stop now.

I was so confused by who Hazel was and it took reading some other reviews to realize the author isn't referencing her own previous work to keep the plots/characters straight. That made me also realize I may be tuning them out somewhat since I didn't even pick up on Vincent drinking bagged blood.

Basil was boring, Sherry was funny, Stephanie's story is what I want to see more of. I know Justin's book is next, and which I have been waiting for since I do like his character.

Did not finish book.

May be good, but I'm already sensing the vampire/werewolf love triangle and I'm not in the mood for that.

This book destroyed me. I've been sitting here ugly crying for the last hour of the book. I'd give it a higher rating, but it was slow moving, which made it hard to get into initially for me.
