Niahm (pronounced Neeve) Parker is thoroughly content
with her life in the small town of Goshen. Her parents, who travel frequently
for their work, have raised a headstrong, independent teen. While her peers can
hardly wait for the opportunity to leave, Niahm plans to stay forever.
When Shane Coleman and his nephew Sam move into town,
it's the biggest event to happen in as long as anyone can remember. It’s quite
remarkable for anyone to move into Goshen rather than out, but when it’s
discovered that Sam is 17, it requires some serious burning of the phone lines.
All the teen girls are thrilled to have a new hottie in town—all except Niahm.
Sam Coleman represents a threat to her perfect way of life.
Sam is drawn to Niahm against his will. He'd prefer to not
be bound to this angry, stubborn, unlikeable girl. Unfortunately, he has no
choice. However, Sam didn't plan on falling for Niahm. For Immortals, love is
not only forbidden, but dangerous for her. He finds himself in a fight not only
for Niahm's heart, but to protect her from being harmed by those who seek to
destroy Sam and those like him.
Niahm finds herself attracted to the tall, copper-headed
boy, who becomes her friend and then her support when tragedy strikes. Soon,
she begins to realize that there may be more to Sam than she ever suspected...
much more. But what he truly is, she can't begin to imagine.

Ok, if I like a book I’ll rave about it a bit and tell you
all the things I liked blah blah blah.
However, if I love a book I will gush.
Well watch out folks because I’m about to get my gush on! This book was stupendous! I have to say Cindy C. Bennett is one of my 3
favorite indie authors. When I get word
that she’s written something new I get giddy.
Her books Geek Girl and Heart on a Chain are two books I recommend on a
regular basis.
Immortal Mine is her first venture in the paranormal genre
and she came through like a champ! Cindy
writes these characters that just grip you by the heart. They are so pragmatic. Niahm is no different. Her reactions to things that happen to her
are some of the same I think I would have in her situation. Then there’s Sam. Every girl should have a Sam. Sam is the kind of guy that goes above &
beyond for someone he cares about. I
appreciate that they don’t just fall in love the first second they see each
other. Cindy allows their relationship
to grow and develop. There are great
supporting characters as well. If you’ve
read Geek Girl you’ll find a reference to the main characters in this book that
I thought was fun. The pace of the book
was perfect for me. She was able to move
things along without getting wordy or drawing out any particular event. Oh, and the Gaelic was such a neat
touch. I love all things Irish so that
was so interesting to me. I am going to
have a difficult time waiting for the next book.

Jeanette - Thank you so much (once again!). You are so incredibly good to me and my books. :o)
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you liked the Gaelic. I worried that it might be too distracting, but like you I love all things Irish (and Scottish as well) so I decided to add it anyway.
Sounds like a good book. When a reviewer gushes over a book like this it really makes me want to give it a try. I'll keep this one on my TBR list at goodreads.
