Well all I can say is that I did not expect that! 
 I was very hesitant when I went to read this book because of the synopses and for some reason I expected vampires and I was gladly surprised that there was not. 
 Nastasya is over 400 years old and not innocent by any means like other immortal type books I have read. Shes jaded and is trying to find herself and unnoticeable stumbles across a big part of her past. 
 She's taken in by a past acquaintance that has a mother like aura to her, where she will learn to live life to its fullest and with goodness.... also known as the immortal rehab. 
 The immortals are not truly immortal. They age at a much slower rate then humans and can mate with both their kind and mortals. They can also be die but it will take a lot more then the average human. 
 Of course a good book is not complete without some drama which we see. Reyn the man with a hidden past whom she despises and lusts for and Nell for being the annoying preppy goody two shoes. 
 I went into the book knowing nothing and by the end I can say even though I have learned a lot about Nastasya, we are most likely only skimming the surface. We have a lot more to learn about her past and I look forward to seeing whats next.
