Darkness Falls (Immortal Beloved) [Paperback]

I was extremely excited to be able to read an Immortal Beloved novel, having been so lucky as to win it from a book blog giveaway; hence once I began reading Darkness Falls I was unable to put it down. Captivating and spellbinding this is a story that I lost myself within, following the immortal Nastasya as her past catches up with her. After living for more than four-hundred years she still faces desire, death and heartache, as more truths that were concealed are now revealed and brought into the light. Following on from book one Immortal Beloved Cate Tiernan begins to expand on the storyline, enlightening the reader on the characters and the main character who is shrouded in mystery and hidden secrets. Intense, intriguing and full of twists and turns, this book is full of suspense that makes you sit on the edge of your seat gripping the pages. Both the joys and the truthful horrors of history are shown to you, through the eyes of such endearing and fascinating characters that bring the tale to life making it so realistic. Wanting to find out more I was completely engrossed, mesmerized by such electric tension and words that sent chills down my spine. I was truly blown away by this outstanding novel that did quite literally take my breathe away, as it was something original, unique and something quite special. Darkness falls is most distinctive within its genre, being nothing like anything else I have ever read thus I cannot praise the author enough as her work has exceeded all my expectations.
I am extremely excited by this novel and cannot wait to read book three in this incredible trilogy, which is readable and thoroughly enjoyable; being a page-turner. Fans of fantasy fiction and the supernatural, young adult fiction or fictional works with an immortal theme will without a doubt absolutely love `the immortal beloved' novels. I found it so interesting to observe a character's life that was extended and how different it was to a mortal being's, where they must endure the passing of time and many ages. This unusual, remarkable narrative will capture your soul as it did my eyes with its striking and beautiful cover, standing out with a most absorbing storyline that draws you in as the darkness engulfs you, clouding your vision as daily life is blocked out whilst pulling you into Nastasya's story.

This is a book to loose yourself in, that is soul searching as thoughts on the meaning of life spring into ones mind. It is a spectacular trilogy that many readers will love from the adult readers to teenagers and those with curios minds, seeking out questions whilst wanting to loose themselves in a good book. It is a novel that you can read anywhere and that never looses its momentum or drive, as you race through its pages wanting to find out the answers to the characters questions. I feel so privileged to have been able to read this wonderful book that I enjoyed so much, where I was able to connect with the characters immersing myself within their story. The style of writing is fluid and easy to read with the balance of action, romance and detailed description just perfect so as to make it authentic and real as you envisage the world around you. I cannot enthuse enough about this amazing book. It is full of love, heartache and sorrow and yet is powerful in the fight over evil.
