Book Review: "Immortal" by Gillian Shields

       Sometimes you find a book you love, quite by accident. I was browsing through the aisles at the local branch library, and picked out a few novels that looked interesting. “Immortal” by Gillian Shields was one of my choices. It is one of the better paranormal romance stories I have read in a long time! In fact, I've already requested the second book in the four-part series from the library.

       Evie Johnson is sent to Wyldcliffe boarding school, as her father has to go overseas for his military duty, and her mother has died in a tragic drowning accident. On her way there, stuck on the road late at night in the rain, she meets an intriguing boy named Sebastian. At first, Evie is just trying to adjust to life in the strange, mysterious new school. Something just doesn't seem quite right. She isn't sure who she can trust, but it isn't long before she's spending her late evenings out on the moors with Sebastian, with whom she feels a special connection. But what does he mean when he says it's dangerous for her to keep seeing him, if he truly loves her?

        It's more than a paranormal romance. It's a mystery that needs solving, with parallels drawn between generations of strong women, in a conflict between good and evil. It was well written, and a fast paced book that I didn't want to put down! I'm excited to read the rest of the series.
