Product Description

Product Description

Becoming a vampire is easy. Living with the condition...that's the hard part.

Newbie vampire Alyssa never asked for this life, but now it's all she has. Rescued from death by Lysander, the aloof and sexy leader of the Peregrinus vampire clan, she's barely cut her teeth before she becomes a target.

Kallisto, an ancient and vindictive vampire queen – and Lysander's old mate - wants nothing less than final death for her former lover and his new toy. She's not above letting the Acta Sanctorum, and its greatest vampire hunter, Santino, know exactly where the clan can be found.

With no time to mourn her old life, Alyssa's survival depends on her new family. She will have to stand alongside Lysander and fight against two enemies who will stop at nothing to destroy them.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent read 28 April 2010
By Louise Wise
Format:Paperback
I picked up this book because I loved Twilight but wanted a more "adult" read, and I got just what I asked for! It took me to a dark, gritty place within few flips of the pages and I was hooked.

Immortalis revolves around the main characters Lysander and Alyssa, after he "turns" Alyssa after a brutal attack that would have killed her had he not intervened. They are up against vampire hunters as well as a vampire "queen". The character Alyssa was loveable and a little ditzy in places, and Lysander a brooding hunk who seemed impatient with his new charge as she blunders about in her new identity as a vampire.

Salidas paints a very vivid picture, which is a whole lot darker than Twilight, and you'll go on a journey full of strange mythical characters that somehow makes you believe they exist. You'll be looking over your shoulder long after you put the book down.
I understand Immortalis is the first of a new series of vampire stories, and I can't wait to get my hands on the others.
Recommended.

4.0 out of 5 stars Easy and enjoyable read 29 Dec 2010
By Pw Taylor
Format:Kindle Edition
This is an easy book to read due the relatively fast paced writing style. The basic plot is good and the main characters are sufficiently interesting to be bothered about how they survive or otherwise in the end. In terms of Vampires and a story based on the way they live their lives this is pretty good - having read other vampire stories this rates up there with the better ones.

Would I spend more of my hard earned cash on this author? I certainly will be buying the 2nd book in the series, which from my perspective is the acid test

4.0 out of 5 stars Immortalis book 1 25 Sep 2010
By Sarah Gibson TOP 50 REVIEWER TOP 500 REVIEWER VINE™ VOICE
Format:Paperback
When Alyssa is walking home alone late at night she is brutally attacked by 2 muggers. Lysander rescues Alyssa but she is so badly injured that she is almost dead leaving Lysander no option but to change her into a vampire or watch her die. Waking up to discover she has been turned into a vampire comes as quite a shock to Alyssa - she had no idea that vampires even existed. While trying to come to terms with her new life Alyssa also has to deal with a powerful vampire mistress who isn't happy that Lysander turned her without permission and the Acta Sanctorum - vampire hunters. Will she survive long enough to learn how to use her new abilities?

I first heard about Immortalis Carpe Noctem when I saw it was going on a tour arranged by UK Book Tours, it wasn't a book seen before but it sounded interesting and I couldn't resist signing up to read it. I'm glad I did as I've discovered a new author who I will definitely be keeping an eye on in the future. This book is the first in the Immortalis series and I'm looking forward to reading future books as they are released.

I really enjoyed watching Alyssa deal with being turned into a vampire - she has been introduced to a whole new world without having any choice in the matter. As Lysander says in the book "Becoming a vampire is easy. Living with the condition, that is the hard part" I'm sure Alyssa would agree with this statement! I've not really read anything that covers the issue of being turned without prior knowledge of what is happening and goes into as much detail as this book did. I thought Katie Salidas did a great job of showing how hard that must have been for Alyssa.... Read more ›

2.0 out of 5 stars It's no Twilight, that's for sure 30 Mar 2011
By Jenna Talwarts
Format:Kindle Edition
I downloaded this as it was so cheap and I'm glad that it didn't cost more.

The story is ok in itself, but there's no development of the characters, no real back story of what Alyssa was like before and very little of Lysander's (even though he'd been around for 2,000 years). The villainess in the piece was flimsy and two dimensional and the whole story got wrapped up far too conveniently. The whole book had quite a hurried feel to it and it felt like the barest bones of what could have been a very good story.

Alyssa seemed to me to be a petulant kid, and there was no development of relationship between her and Lysander...one minute he was cold and aloof and the next they were involved with each other with no real explanation of why or the nature of the attraction stemming from either side (other than she thought he had nice eyes and a muscular chest!)

I shan't be downloading the second one, unless it's even cheaper than this one was!

Great storyline could not stop reading until the end. Really enjoyed the ways the characters interact with each other in the story and how the concept of time can affect people views.

2.0 out of 5 stars Meh... 25 April 2013
By Lemonpuff
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
Characterisation is so weak and I could find so little attraction between Lysander and Alyssa, he states that she's so important to him but that is not demonstrated to us readers. In fact, the most detailed aspect of the book is how deep feelings ran for the ex-lovers! Which, if I were Alyssa would make me feel insecure... are those feelings truly past with Lysander? Why did Alyssa and Lysander not discuss that she had in a very slutty way, taken an innocent life? And, it seemed to me that they were in that club for all of ten minutes, even though the victim downed three bottles of champagne!
Very poor, but I just managed to finish it. I cannot recommend this book and no way I will be reading the next instalment of the most annoying obstinate petulant naive little girl whom behaves like a 13 yr old, you'd never guess she's 25!

The book scene is awash with vampire novels at the moment and very few can be as dire as this one. There is nothing original about the plot and the writing is undistinguished. Read more
