The Immortal Who Loved Me

The Immortal Who Loved Me (Argeneau, #21)

The Immortal Who Loved Me is the latest book in Lynsay Sands' Argeneau series.

A few hours ago, Sherry Carne would have sworn that vampires didn't exist.  That's before rogue immortals rampage through her store leaving bloody chaos (literally) in their wake.  The kicker comes when Sherry learns that one of the vamps on the bad guys' trail may be her life mate.  Her head says it's impossible.  The rest of her takes one look at Basileios Argeneau and has much more interesting ideas.

Whatever Basil expected in a life mate, funny, outspoken Sherry isn't it.  But mind-blowing chemistry and instinct don't lie.  They tell him something else, too- that Sherry's connection to the immortal world goes deeper than she knows.  And that she's in the kind of danger only Basil can save her from- if she'll just trust him, now and forever...

The Breakdown:
1. At first I really enjoyed this series, but lately I feel as though Sands has begun to run out of ideas for new plots and the books are growing stale.  After this book, I am just not sure if I am going to continue with reading the series.

2. I felt the development of the characters of Sherry and Basil was mediocre at best.  It seemed like Sands spent so much time with them having sex that I missed really getting to know the characters. The bits I did see of them felt a little like recycled pieces of past characters.

3. There were a couple of bright spots to the book.  First, Sands did get catch up with the immortals of Port Henry, which was nice to see how they are all doing.  Second, she did have interesting developments in Stephanie's character in the book that has me questioning what's in store for her.  Lastly, she finally brings the Leonius story to a close, and thank goodness, because it was really starting to drag.

To Read or Not to Read:
Probably Skip This One
