Synopsis
New York Times bestselling author Gena Showalter delivers The Immortal, the second dark and sexy book in her Rise of the Warlords series, featuring a cold, merciless assassin and a stubborn harpy warrior … one fated to die by the other’s hand.
Halo Phaninon, assassin of gods, is as cold and merciless as a machine. For victory, he crosses any line. When tasked to kill twelve of mythology’s fiercest monsters in twenty-four hours, Halo eagerly accepts. Except, each morning he awakens to the same day, forced to relive new horrors. Only one other person retains their memory—the beauty who threatens his iron control.
Ophelia the Flunk Out hates her disaster of a life. She’s the family disappointment, a harpy warrior without a kill and powerless—or is she? Nearly every night she’s doomed to repeat her own murder, but each morning she arises to spar with Halo, the ruthless warlord increasingly determined to save her … and lure her to his bed.
Halo’s insatiable desire for the stubborn Ophelia drives him wild … and he only craves more. If he remains in the time loop, they stay together. But if he escapes, they lose each other forever.
Review
The Immortal is the second book in the Rise of the Warlords series and tells the story of Ophelia and Halo. Although this is the second book in the series, it can be read as a standalone.
After finishing The Warlord, I had to start in The Immortal, the second book in the Rise of the Warlords series. I really enjoyed the first book in the series, and I was really interested in the next couple. Ophelia and Halo are both such lovable characters, I really enjoyed reading in their perspectives and I was excited for their happy ending! Like the first book, I read a combination of the ebook and audiobook.
The Immortal is about Ophelia and Halo. Ophelia was such a fun character, she was really badass but also really funny and sassy. She’s a mix of a harpy and a nymph. Halo is an Astra, and I think he’s one of the most badass Astra. I really loved this couple, they were so perfect for them and I was waiting for the stardust moment. LOVED IT!
The Immortal was such a good book and I think it’s even better than the first book! I really loved Ophelia and Halo, I couldn’t get enough of them and I was so happy for them. I really enjoyed reading and listening to this book, and I’m excited to pick up the next book in the Rise of the Warlords series, The Phantom. I cannot wait to see what Gena Showalter came up with next!
