Stories are beautiful, dare I call them magic? Okay, let’s say that, only if they are told well. And Rodney Peel narrates Cheryl S. Mackey’s novel with a passion the likes of which I’ve not heard in a while.
Immortals is the beginning of a truly engrossing tale of which I fail to categorise. Maybe it’s fantasy, action or adventure? But as a fan of horror, I couldn’t help feeling my flesh crawl with delight when…well, I won’t spoil it for you.
Eternal life: a gift in a time of peace and serenity, is the idyllic dream of the idealistic, but when the veil of war darkens and looms heavy, forever is a curse. What was once a sea of tranquillity, of free will and hope, is now slowly flowing, thickening like black poison, evil eddying beneath the surface where stillness and peace once resided.
It is a moral tale of the responsibility that comes with great power. The fear of living forever in a world where the evil dead refuse to lie still, their will to destroy almost as potent as an immortal’s dream of death.
The author is a storm chaser, she’ll hold your hand but beware. Expect to be pushed into the eye of the hurricane.
A tale of fantasy and bloodshed, zombies and skeleton armies. An assault on the senses. I look forward to the second book of this series.
I award the book 5 stars.
