Eternally Yours (Immortal Beloved, #3)
by: Cate Tiernan
After 450 years of living, Nastasya Crowe should have more of a handle on this whole immortal thing....
After a deadly confrontation at the end of Darkness Falls, the second Immortal Beloved novel, Nastasya Crowe is, as she would put it, so
over the drama. She fights back against the dark immortals with her own
brand of kick-butt magick...but can she fight against true love? In the
satisfying finale to the Immortal Beloved trilogy, ex-party-girl
immortal Nastasya ends a 450-year-old feud and learns what "eternally
yours" really means.
Laced with historical flashbacks and
laugh-out-loud dialogue, the Immortal Beloved trilogy is a fascinating
and unique take on what it would mean to live forever.
