Luckily for me, this is an engaging book. Alessandra is a refreshingly strong heroine, a private detective that has not let her past emotional trauma get in her way. James is also a drool-worthy hero and Scottish to boot.

After visiting a fortune teller as a teenager she gets a dire prediction that quickly blooms into a painful reality. Fast forward 5 years, and she is marked by her experience, but still thriving. Until her destiny crashes into her normal life, leaving everything off kilter in it's wake. Can Alessandra (Ally) accept her crazy new path in the world, and her connection with the mysterious James. A Scottish alpha man, practically a caveman in his thinking when it comes to Ally. A race hangs in the balance, will Ally master her fate and figure out the prophecy to save us all?

It was a real pleasure reading this book. The ability to get into everyone's head left no huge questions as to motive, everyone was an open book and that was so refreshing. I like the combination of supernatural characters in the book. It doesn't try to "explain" the creation of any of them, which is fine. The world is well created and explained in the "now"... what we need to know now about how the creatures are, and what to expect.

There were a few twists that a saw coming, and many that I did not. It was a comfortably paced with rich imagery of Scotland and male "eye candy" encouraging a quick enjoyment-filled read. There was only one thing I was wishing there was more of, although based on the characters and the story I understand why it was lacking: more steamy scenes. There were a few more innocent steamy scenes, but I was hankering for some hot Scottish physical loving, and left aching...

Overall, I relished the story and the characters. I give it a solid 4 stars and will most definitely be looking for book #2 to see if I might just get my wish....(less)

Review of "Immortal Prophecy" by Samantha Adams

Ally is a girl who is given an ominous prophecy from a fortune teller with her friend, Katherine. Ally grows up and meets the man of her dreams and soul mate, James. Literally, she meets him and her heart flies.

However, James, an immortal, is used to having his way. They share a magical moment at a ball. Then James whisks Ally to Scotland to protect her.

Of course Ally is not a woman you can push. She doesn't want to accept James and the prophecy....more

I read Adams’ Immortal Prophecy in one sitting. It is a very gripping story with romance, suspense, and supernatural beings. What more could you ask for in a YA story? The story was predictable and unexpected all at the same time. I found myself lost in the flow of a typical romance or suspense story, only to be thrown for a loop when the scene ends in a way I could never have fathomed.

All of the major characters are very strong and could stand on their own in a spin-off series. It was so refre...more

This book was amazing and totally brought me in. I was sick and was reading in bed and I felt more alive than I usually was when I was sick. Ally is a strong character and believes that it is her destiny to save the immortals and humans from the vampires. Although she is in denial at first, she quickly sees that she is the only one that can stop them and they would have to let fate play it;s course.

When her parents were killed five years ago. Ally isn't the same person after their deaths she keeps everyone at arms length including her grandmother Adele and her best friend Kathryn(Kat). She's become a private investigator because she's seeking the truth always. Ally's life is threatened by a strange man and rescued by handsome stranger. The strange man is called Vincent, who happens to be a vampire, determined to kill Ally before she can fulfill the prophecy. Handsome stranger, who is Ally's protector and soul mate, is James Carlisle. He's been waiting for the day that Ally will become his yet is worried about what Vincent will do next. Ally knows nothing about the prophecy or her future as an immortal. Ally is stunned by her attraction to James. Ally's safety is threatened, so James and Adele move Ally to Scotland until the danger is past. Ally is hurt, upset, and angry with Adele and James for keeping secrets from her. She tries to cope with all of these changes and wants alittle distance to figure things out. Ally also has dreams which seem to be based in reality. When Kat is kidnapped Ally wants to go to her rescue but wants a plan of attack before setting out. Can Kat be rescued? What do Ally's dreams mean? Will Ally accept being an immortal? Will Ally forgive James and Adele? Your answers await you in Immortal Prophecy.

What I found fascinating about this book is that the immortal can be killed or severely damaged. The powers these immortal have are really incredible to behold:creating fireballs, read minds, control minds, and so much more. I loved watching Ally's internal struggle from the beginning to the end of the book! She really was a breathe taking character to watch grow. She is real, believable, and has insecurities just like everyone else. I wasn't too sure about James from the beginning then I watched his devotion and care for Ally truly a mind blowing experience. Vincent is really the guy you love to hate from the get go. I really want to see where this story is going. I'll be watching out for the next installment.(less)

It focuses on Alessandra as she learns she is a half immortal and her destiny is to kill an evil vampire named Vincent, who happens to be trying to kill her first. She struggles to come to terms with destiny and tries to change her life and refuses, at first, to accept it. She is a strong female character who won't let anyone push her around, something I really like. She wants to make her own life, but the outcome is already decided for her and once she can accept that, she can enjoy falling head over heals for her soulmate James. James and Ally are the perfect soulmates for each other and I look forward to seeing their relationship bloom.

I found most of the book to be a page turner where I just couldn't wait to see what happened next, but there was a bit of a dry patch in the middle where there isn't really all that much going on. It's more focusing on the relationship between Ally and James, which is good, it was just a bit dry. All in all, I am looking forward to seeing what comes next in the series, the cliffhanger was really good.

However, I would normally give a book like this a 4/5, since I really liked it, but I'll be going with a 3/5 because there's a few small issues that could be fixed. I believe this book needs another edit to fix a few minor issues. Sometimes it can be a little difficult to read. There's too little use of compound words, it wouldn't be so bad if it was just how one or two of the characters talked all the time, but it's not. There would be, in some cases, one character saying "it's" and then in the next sentence "it is" but there wouldn't be any emphasis on the "is". I think some of the wording could be fixed with a few more compound words, making for a smoother read. Sometimes I can see how there should be a bit of emphasis on the word, which should maybe be put into italics or something so the reader knows to put some emphasis there. Then there are other times where it seems a comma is missing, but that's easily fixed as well. If these little issues are fixed, I would be likely to give this book a 4/5 since the story is really good, it just needs a little polish.(less)

“There are two men that seek you. One has found you but you don’t know him yet. The other man that is unknown has not yet found you but when he does you must be ready. His purpose is evil. You will experience the death of two people close to you when this unknown man gets closer to finding you. Someone is hiding a secret from you, and when it’s revealed it will shatter your world and change your life forever in ways you cannot imagine.”

When 16-year-old Alessandra receives the above warning from a fortune teller at the fair she is understandably shocked and scared, and her shock turns to disbelief when her parents die in an accident that same night.

5 years later she has learned to live with her parent’s death, but the prophecy still haunts her. Now working as a private detective she spends her time seeking out the truth for other people, but still can’t discover the truth behind her parent’s untimely deaths, and the prophecy she was given at 16.

When in the course of her job she comes across a man who to all intents and purposes appears to be a vampire, she is jolted out of the life she knows and thrust into another world of secrets, immortals, and vampires. A world in which it seems there is another well-known prophecy surrounding her – one concerning a very powerful vampire who is set to die at her hands, a prophecy that the vampires are intent on not coming true.

Now Alessandra finds herself whisked away to a remote country, struggling to come to terms with her new life, and the subject of yet another prophecy that she did not want or desire. But when the lives of her best friend and her soul-mate’s brother are in jeopardy, she realises that maybe there is something inside of her that could help her to fulfil the prophecy’s concerning her after all.

I enjoyed this book. Even though there were weird prophecy’s surrounding her, Alessandra (Ally) stayed calm and in control of her life, even through the grief of her parents death, and then when strange things really began to happen and she realised that it was something to do with the prophecy, she stayed amazingly down-to-earth.

Her guardian James, though stressed and distracted, did his best to protect her and not force things on her, and always did what was in her best interest, even when she was being difficult!

The idea of soul-mates was sweet, although it was a little strange that there was nothing concrete to confirm that these pairs were soul-mates – which Ally found a little difficult to accept, and it was nice that Ally had a friend to share things with at the beginning of the story.
Overall this was an enjoyable read, and I look forward to the next instalment.
Thanks Samantha!
7 out of 10.

Samantha Adams, author of Immortal Prophecy (the first book in a saga), has penned a very engaging and colourful story.

There is a problem, or problems, with this book. Unfortunately.

First off, I had a hard time believing that a 21yr old girl was a successful P.I. The only way that could happen is if she became a private investigator directly out of high school, and I have a hard time picturing anyone hiring someone that young and inexperienced to delve into private and possibly dangerous territo...more

Is there really such a thing as destiny or fate?? Well, there certainly is for Alessandra! The concept of this story was great. The beginning really grabbed me and I wanted to learn more about the prophecy. Unfortunately, there was a lull in the middle. The writing became almost too descriptive. The storyline seemed to be lingering behind the details and trying to get out. I pushed through the lull and was rewarded with more action and plot thickening at the end.

I purchased this book on Amazon when it was available for free.

I found the book to be interesting it was a great read. I finished the book in one day.

The story was creative with having both Immortals and Vampires.

The characters were well thought out and detailed. The idea that all Immortals have a soulmate was beautiful.

How you become an Immortal wasn't revealed in this book hopefully it will be explained in the second book when released.

Okay, I had a bunch of books to get through so maybe that's why this book didn't stick with me. Like a lot of books, this book grabs you in the beginning promising you much. But then again, it seemed to fizzle and drag in parts. Still I would suggest anyone who is thinking of reading to give it a try. It's not a bad book.

I signed up to read and review this book courtesy of the author.

When I read the summary, it seemd like it would interest me. However, I struggled with it. I could not get past the fifth chapter (Approx 30% in)

To be fair I'm not going to assign a rating. The concept is solid and it sounds like it would be a good read. It just wasn't for me.

If you have thought of reading it, I still encourage it. Just because it wasn't to my tastes doesn't mean it isn't yours.
