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.
In the late 18th century, a spoiled, selfish plantation
owner struck an unholy bargain with a fallen angel: an
eternity of servitude for the gift of immortality. For over
two hundred years, Damien du Bourg has held up his end of
the bargain—by inspiring lust in everyone around him…
Stumbling upon Damien’s plantation on the outskirts of New
Orleans while searching for her missing sister, Marley
Turner enters a world of shocking decadence. Drawn to the
tortured man at the center of it all, Marley feels a
powerful sensuality stirring inside her. For the first
time, it’s Damien who can’t resist the lure of a woman. But
his past sins aren’t ready to be forgotten—or forgiven…
