GALAXY BOOKSELLER PICKS ----- Eternally Yours: Immortal Beloved #3 & Darkest Fear: Birthright #1

Both stories, while they are from the same author are for me, like night and day- Young Adult vs Adult, the Beginning vs the End, modern storyline vs one rich in history and while the two protagonists do share similarities in their avoidance of the big issues Immortal Beloved's Nastasya is wounded and yet coming to grips with a lifetime of running from herself where as Birthright's Viviana Neves comes across as a bit selfish and annoying.

Having said this of Vivianna I do remember being the seemingly ancient age of 17 and feeling just as strongly in regards to my own ideals as she does in her views of her shape shifting heritage and I was just as passionate and sure which no doubt was seen as stubborn ignorance, that i was right and my feelings were justified. However, in the end wether they were or weren't doesn't matter as inevitably they slowly changed anyway, all part of the natural progression of time and experience as Vivi is about to find out. We meet Vivi a seemingly average high school girl, she has a best friend she adores and parents who she loves but doesn't agree with.. fair enough the sticking point they can't see eye to eye on is rather abnormal. Their family is part of a long line of Jaguar shape shifters and instead of jumping for joy at her hereditary superpower Vivi feels like a freak and shies away from any form of involvement in her parents proud heritage until brutal attack on her family forces her to dive a little deeper into herself and her other side. While it is early days yet with a colourful cast, mysterious love interest and an exciting setting like New Orleans I am looking forward to seeing her growth and understanding as the series progresses. 
 
Flipping to the other side of the coin and the grande finale for the Immortal Beloved series which I loved so much! Nastasya is spirited and employs sarcasm like a master, her humour has me giggling to myself constantly and breaks up the tension and darkness in the plot. Nastasya has come a long way and her character development is clear, the feelings she slogs through are confronting and honest and her 'wholeness' is so close you can almost touch it - until of course her self doubt chimes in and ruins things. Her struggle I found very relatable I mean truthfully haven't we all fought similar demons, self doubt and to a degree loathing? Of course not everyone has the privilege or ability to run from these feelings for four centuries!

As with the previous books the layers of her 450 years are described with intimate details for each period that make you feel for a moment in time that you were there, Beautifully written and so unique this is a series I have thoroughly enjoyed and can highly recommend.
 
No matter the series, I can't wait to see what Cate delivers next. ~ Amber

-----

Nastasya has spent the last century living as a spoiled, drugged-out party girl. She feels nothing and cares for no one. But when she witnesses her best friend, a Dark Immortal, torture a human, she realises something's got to change. She seeks refuge at a rehab for wayward immortals, where she meets the gorgeous, undeniably sexy Reyn, who seems inexplicably linked to her past. Nastasya finally begins to deal with life, and even feels safe - until the night she learns that someone wants her dead.

Reviews for Eternally Yours (#3 Immortal Beloved)

'In the end, I got the finale I wanted. There are a few shocks along the way but then it wouldn't be a good finale if there weren't. For me, Eternally Yours ticks all the boxes and finishes the Immortal Beloved series off nicely. I'm looking forward to seeing what Cate has in store for us next!' * themidnightreaders.blogspot.co.uk * 'I had actually forgotten how much I liked Nastaya's voice - it feels like she's talking to you, allowing you to feel her uncertainty and success with her whilst at the same time expressing herself through humour'. * books4teens.co.uk * 'It is her direct, sarcastic and insightful narrative that makes these books so readable and addictive . . . I also adore the love story element . . . I am so sad that this series has come to an end. I've come to associate this series with cold winter nights and a little bit of salvation. I'm going to miss it hugely but I can't wait to see what Cate Tiernan writes next.' * thebookette.co.uk * 'It's a satisfying finish to one of the best trilogies I've read in many years... Bristling with magick (both kinds), great suspense and woven through with Nastasya's dark humour, Eternally Yours more than does the first two books justice . . . Cate Tiernan has already established a name for herself, but this trilogy more than solidifies her credibility in the genre, showcasing her talented storytelling ability, her intricate devotion to detail and knack for witty dialogue. Eternally Yours is a flawless finish'. * keepcalmandreadabook.wordpress.com * 'Eternally Yours provides a satisfactory conclusion to the series with astounding character development on Nastasya's behalf.' * bookangelbooktopia.com * 'What an awesome end to the series! . . . I really liked this book, it was a very fitting conclusion and I'm happy with the outcome . . . there are a good few revelations, all leading up to a very epic ending that will leave you on the edge of your seat . . . I will definitely remember this trilogy.' * bookpassionforlife.blogspot.co.uk * 'Eternally Yours was a great ending to a series I've really enjoyed reading, and I definitely recommend the series to any paranormal romance fans!' * planet-print.blogspot.co.uk * 'Tiernan gives Nastasya a strong, distinctive voice and wonderfully realized perspective on the joys and horrors of history.' * <i>Publisher's Weekly</i> on IMMORTAL BELOVED * Cate Tiernan has written something very special with this series. * Novelsontherun.blogspot.com * 'Eternally Yours was written in such an engaging way, with brilliant characters and development. There's plenty of kissing and soul-searching and humour. This was a really excellent book to round out an incredible series! Highly recommended'. * flutteringbutterflies.com * 'Eternally Yours, without a doubt, is Cate Tiernan's best work yet. This third and final book of the Immortal Beloved series could not have brought a more brilliant and wholly satisfying conclusion to the trilogy. With as much cleverly-crafted wit, realistic depth and meaning as the previous books, with as much entertainment and magickal fun, it shines just as brightly as its predecessors. If anything, it is better; the humour is sharper, the characters better developed, the storyline a fraction more complex.' * realmoffiction.blogspot.co.uk *
