Mine Immortal: Guardian of Monsters

Varcolac #2

by Kristin Ping

As part of the Ancient race in the supernatural world, three-thousand-year-old Varcolac Jason Chase, also known as Jericho, knows he has a lot of enemies and allies. But his world is turned upside down when strange dreams about a human girl starts plaguing his nights. It could only mean one thing, and it was something he never expected. Varcolacs get one true mate in their lifetime, and Jason Chase thought his didn’t exist.

After the death of her mother, twenty-four-year-old South African Morgan Freeman heads back to the one place that had always felt like home—the cruise lines. But this time it’s different. Meeting Jason Chase, the man of every woman’s dreams, was so not part of her plan, but it feels like they’re a match made in heaven. But something doesn’t feel right. Nobody could be that perfect, right? When the truth finally comes out, her heart is shattered and the world she once knew ceases to exist.

Morgan Freeman, a girl from South Africa, not the American actor, has had it rough. She just wants a bit of normalcy, her brother, and just maybe she can rid herself of the "virginity curse". After her mother's death and her brother's disappearance, she is able to make it back to the cruise ships, to work. She enjoyed it once. She even had a few friends that she became close with from her last cruise job. Now, its like starting over and the guy she's partnered with, Jason Chase, seems nice enough. Actually, he's drop-dead gorgeous and he's actually a nice guy.

Jason decided to work one more contract before calling it quits. He's been having strange reactions, signs that he may be close to his mate; a mate that he can do without after seeing what his sister put her mate through. Until he meets her, Morgan.

I love/hated this story. Most of the story was built around getting to know Morgan and Jason. There is a boatload of info needed and I like how the author used a character's love of reading to deliver much of that info. I also thought the lockpass was interesting. There were some things, like Jason's tatoo, that seemed really important, but was only given a passing glance. There were parts that were confusing and felt incomplete though I don't like to say that, especially knowing this is a book in a series. There were many things left hanging.

There was a boatload of sex. I didn't like how being a virgin was portrayed as something bad, dirty and wrong, as though it was a disease. I mean, Morgan made sure to let it goooo. I thought her reactions after intercourse were more realistic than "first-timers" in typical romance stories (I appreciated the honesty). Her wonderings and frustrations were refreshingly real. Jason was frustrating toward the end, but I understood why.

There were issues with editing that may be taken care of by release day, so I will not make a big fuss. Overall, I enjoyed the book. I definitely want to know what happens next. So many questions need an answer.

I received a copy of this book from BookSprout and the author for an honest review. 3.5-4 stars

When her mother was terminally ill, Morgan Freeman, a young South African woman, returned home to care for her. Years pass, her mother is gone, so Morgan decides to return to her job on a cruise line, where she felt at home, and she had been happy. Jason Chase, aka Jericho, is a three thousand year old Varcolac, and his life will be turned up side down when Morgan boards the ship he, too, is working on, and he realizes that she is his true mate. Morgan is flabbergasted when Jason shows an interest in her, every woman aboard the ship, passengers and crew, practically throw themselves at him. Jason will have his work cut out for him trying to convince Morgan that she's the only woman he wants.

Sexy, unique, and sometimes funny characters. When Morgan finds out the truth about Jason it could be the end or their relationship. Wow fascinating plot with unexpected twists, and a completely different narrative on werewolves and vampires. Fantastic book, I loved it!

I finished reading book one of the series and was so wrapped up in it I HAD to read book two which I did in one afternoon, and a great afternoon it was. I particularly liked the fact that it partly takes place on a cruise ship which was pretty cool to me since my reading spot is behind my house over looking the pacific ocean in Hawaii. I was able to envision Jason on the ship right out iin my view. I find in many series that the first book of the a series grabs my attention but the second one is a let down. This was definitely not the case, in fact I think it only managed to further entice me read everything Kristin Ping has written and I intend in time to do just that and suggest you do the same.

I loved Jason’s and Morgan’s story, Jason is a Varcolac he never thought that he had a mate but when a human girl is always in his dreams he knows that she is the one. When Morgan’s mother passes away she goes to the one place where it had always felt like home and that’s on the cruise ships to work. Morgan is partnered with Jason aka Jerico he is absolutely gorgeous bet he has secrets and when Morgan finds them out she is pulled into a world that she never knew existed. Fantastic story I loved it and I highly recommend this book it’s definitely well worth the read.

Excellent Read!
“Mine Immortal” is a well-written fast-paced paranormal tale that had me hooked in the first chapter. This is more than just a vampire tale, “Mine Immortal” is a tale of magic and super-naturals. The storyline is intriguing and unique, the scenes are vivid and authentic, and the characters are extraordinary, funny and real. This was an excellent paranormal read.

I really enjoyed this book. It had twists I don't see coming and the cliffhanger was GREAT! However I just couldn't give it 4 stars because of the lack of editing. While words were spelt correctly they were just wrong. One example is "you don't belief me". There was a mistake like this on every other page. If this sort of thing doesn't bother you, you will love this book. If it does I suggest you give this book a miss.

The third book in the series continues the focus on Jason and Morgan. There is a lot going on with questions about Morgan’s nature since she is not human and a vampire coven targeting Morgan, Jason and his pack. Morgan is also struggling with trusting Jason after she overheard that he may only want her for her powers.

Fast paced book with a good story line. Morgan and Jason are well written characters. Waiting three thousand years for his mate to appear is not what Jason was expecting. Can a human and a Varcolac make it work? Read and find out.
