When Marley Turner receives an e-mail from her sister Lizzie raving about the new man in her life then disappears shortly thereafter, Marley travels to New Orleans to meet the mysterious Damien du Bourg. Infamous for the notorious sex parties he throws, Damien denies knowledge of Lizzie, but is intrigued by the innocently determined Marley and agrees to help in her search for Lizzie.

Through Lizzie's communications, Marley comes to realize there is more to Damien than meets the eye -- that he is, in fact, 200 years old. With supernatural and all-too human forces working against them, it's a race against time to save a sister who doesn't wish to be saved.

Told through letters from the past, MY IMMORTAL is slightly confusing in its back and forth, past and present telling. Marley is a bit too innocent to be a woman of the present, Lizzie is stereotypical as the rotten sister jealous of all that is Marley's, and Damien is a bit too broody about his lot in life. Ms. McCarthy is an excellent storyteller, as evidenced with her Vegas Vampire series. In comparison, MY IMMORTAL falls a bit flat.
