Deidra MacKay is a witch who has the gift of communicating
with animals. Instead of bringing her joy though, her gift
has done nothing but cause her misery. As a young girl, she
learns her ancestor made a pact for the magic with a baobhan
sith (a blood witch or vampire). Since a baobhan sith gave
her family their magic, she wonders if the creature can also
reverse her magic. When a witch hunter comes looking for
her, the fear of burning drives Deidra to take up the hunt
for the baobhan sith, leading her straight to Stephen Ross.
Crippled as a young man, Stephen Ross has now become a
bitter recluse who lives alone in the mountains, away from
the pitying eyes of his family and friends. When Deidra
arrives at his home looking for a baobhan sith, he becomes
intrigued with her story. If a blood vampire could cure
Deidra of her powers, then perhaps one could heal him and
make him whole again. Joining her on her mission to find the
blood witch, Stephen never imagined the feelings he would
begin to have for Deidra, but he's not the only one who
wants her. A witch hunter is determined to persecute Deidra,
and if he gets to her before they can find the baobhan sith,
Stephen may lose more than he ever thought possible.
MY IMMORTAL PROTECTOR was a captivating read. Jen Holling
has woven a compelling tale full of hope and determination.
You can't help but empathize with Diedra and Stephen's pain
as they both struggle with their demons, the internal ones
and those of the human variety. As an animal lover, I can't
even begin to imagine the pain Deidra went through whenever
she ignored an animal seeking her help. Holling describes
Stephen's back pain in such detail that you can practically
feel the pain radiate off the pages. The complex characters
along with the unique and engaging storyline make this book
a must read for all paranormal lovers. I'm really looking
forward to the next book in this series.
