What a thrilling ride! First and foremost, I loved the characters, Lina and Archos. Replete with the painful loss of her grandmother, twenty-year-old Lina’s pain is subdued when gorgeous and mysterious Archos, her neighbor, enters her life. There’s a constant push and pull, battles of emotions in their relationship. The author’s ability to capture Lina’s emotions for Archos—annoyance, attraction, distrust, love, and lust— is so palpable it kept me turning the page to see how the burgeoning passion between the two would culminate. And conversely, Archos battle between duty and passion is heart-wrenching making him all the more lovable. Ms. Lozano writes romance tastefully, with burning touches and lingering kisses that makes the reader ask for more. The romance between these two is hot but dangerous, with love, conflict and high stakes juxtaposed between dueling mythical creatures (Immortalis).
As the story unfolds, Lina and Archos true selves illuminate in a thrilling battle between the Immortalis. The author sets the tone between dark and light, evil and good ominously through Lina’s gift of visions. The depiction of the Immortalis’ powers, otherworldly attire, and their magical movements in shadows is so detailed; the reader senses every icy and fiery prick of danger. Lina’s visions kept me guessing who her true protectors and enemies are, even her friends Angie and Gabe, who enter her life as quickly as their friendship develops.
Cleverly, the author builds suspense and mystery by revealing little by little who and what Lina is. When she turns twenty-three, what will she evolve into during her awakening? I can’t wait to see. I’m sitting in the stardust of Lina and Archos wanting them to carry me away on their amazing journey, which I know they will in the second installment to come. I’m hooked! I’m a fan of Immortalis waiting breathlessly for the next journey. Mrs. Lozano, thank you for the wonderful read. I would highly recommend this book to all fans of Fantasy, Romance, or anyone looking for a great read.
5 Stars – Leah Lozano’s debut novel Immortalis: The Guardian is a must read! You’ll enjoy how Lozano brings her characters to life and draws you into the story! The main character, twenty-year-old Lina who tends to look through rose-colored glasses, discovers there are dark forces at play, and she must figure out how to save herself from those evil forces. Then enters Archos, her ever-present neighbor—see if you can resist his charm! I must admit I have a bit of a crush on Archos. He is always there guarding and watching over Lina, even if she is unaware. While the world around them intensifies, watch the battle between the two as they venture into danger and romance. Immortalis takes us on an epic fantasy journey! I will definitely be reading book two in this action-packed series by Leah Lozano. Readers that like fantasy, romance and suspense will love The Immortalis Series.
