Half-demon Detective Samantha Taylor investigates drug trafficking in demon bars. One night, while on stake-out at a local demon bar, a man she never thought to see again shows up unexpectedly. It is sexy Immortal Warrior Tain, who she helped rescue a year earlier from enslavement to a powerful demon. Tain needs her help in solving the mystery surrounding the abduction of several young demon women from the streets of
Although Tain's past haunts him, he seeks peace by healing others. Unfortunately, he is not sure that the madness that trapped him for centuries is completely cured. Since his rescue, he has not been able to get the beautiful Samantha Taylor out of his thoughts; yet he fears that being with her could awaken old nightmares. When Tain asks for Samantha's help, she wonders if she can hide the fact that she is in love with him as they work together. She is convinced that because Tain spent years being tortured by a demon, the last thing he would want is a half-demon woman longing for him. Can these two work together in order to discover the identity of the person kidnapping the young women? Is it possible for Tain to overcome the past and forge a future with half-demon Samantha?
In 2007, Jennifer Ashley and two other authors wrote a series of books titled IMMORTALS. These books are about five Immortal brothers created at the dawn of time by different incarnations of the Goddess and sent to Earth to protect humankind. One of the brothers, Tain, has been captured and imprisoned by a demon. The first four books in the series revolve around the brothers' attempts to rescue Tain and the ultimate destruction of the demon imprisoning him. While it is not vital to read the first four books, buy them anyway to enjoy the rich history of the characters and their world, which progresses in this novel, IMMORTALS: THE REDEEMING. Tain's and Samantha's story begins in these earlier books.
IMMORTALS: THE REDEEMING is the first book in this new Immortals series. Samantha is a half-demon raised by her human mother. She works in the paranormal division of the Los Angeles Police Department and tries to make a difference in the world for humans and paranormals alike. Tain is an Immortal Warrior, whose mother, the Goddess Cerridwen, gave him to his human father to care for until he is fully-grown. When he becomes an adult, Cerridwen retrieves him from his father and charges him with caring for and protecting the human race. After enduring centuries of torture, Tain is not sure what purpose he now has in the world until he stumbles upon the abduction of several young demon women.
The first Immortal series is a favorite of mine and easily earned a place on my keeper shelf. Ashley’s IMMORTALS: THE REDEEMING picks up the story threads a year later and runs with them. This exciting adventure is a non-stop thrill ride from beginning to end. Tain's quest for redemption is an enthralling journey that no paranormal romance fan should miss. Don't walk, run to the nearest bookstore for your copy of IMMORTALS: THE REDEEMING!
