Immortality

A Love Story

De: Dana Schwartz

Narrado por: Mhairi Morrison, Tim Campbell

"The Scottish accents of narrators Tim Campbell and Mhairi Morrison introduce YA listeners to this historical romance/mystery set in nineteenth-century Edinburgh." —AudioFile

Immortality: A Love Story is the eagerly anticipated sequel to Dana Schwartz's #1 bestselling gothic romance, Anatomy: A Love Story.

Hazel Sinnett is alone and half-convinced the events of the year before—the immortality, Beecham’s vial—were a figment of her imagination. She doesn’t even know if Jack is alive or dead. All she can really do now is treat patients and maintain Hawthornden Castle as it starts to decay around her.

When saving a life leads to her arrest, Hazel seems doomed to rot in prison until a message intervenes: Hazel has been specifically requested to be the personal physician of Princess Charlotte, the sickly granddaughter of King George III. Soon Hazel is dragged into the glamor and romance of a court where everyone has something to hide, especially the enigmatic, brilliant members of a social club known as the Companions to the Death.

As Hazel’s work entangles her more and more with the British court, she realizes that her own future as a surgeon isn't the only thing at stake for her. Malicious forces are at work in the monarchy, and Hazel may be the only one capable of setting things right.

Reseñas de la Crítica

Praise for Anatomy: A Love Story:

"Schwartz's magical novel is at once gripping and tender, and the intricate plot is engrossing as the reader tries to solve the mystery. She doesn't miss a beat in either the characterization or action, scattering clues with a delicate, precise hand. This is, in the end, the story of the anatomy of the human heart." - Booklist (starred review)

"...an intimate look at how society decides who is worth healing and who is worth exploiting in the name of science. " - Bulletin for the Center of Children's Books

"A fast-paced, utterly engrossing tale of mystery, romance, and cadavers. Dana Schwartz deftly blends the historical with the supernatural, racing from macabre graveyards to Scottish castles with two compelling young heroes I dare you not to root for. I grinned, I gasped, I cried and ended this book breathless and craving more.” —Alwyn Hamilton, New York Times bestselling author of the Rebel of the Sands series

“Diabolically delightful. A love story, a murder mystery, and a horror novel bound up together in ghoulish stitches." —Maureen Johnson, New York Times bestselling author of the Truly Devious trilogy

"Lionhearted heroine you’ll root for from page one? Check. Dark academia vibes? Check. Cheeky romantic banter that will make you blush? Check, check and CHECK. Read this gripping, ridiculously clever tale only if you’re fully prepared to be haunted by its revelations about life and death while also swooning at the idea of flirting with someone in an open grave." —Emma Lord, New York Times bestselling author of You Have a Match and Tweet Cute

"[R]eaders will eagerly turn pages... A suspenseful, intricately plotted gothic romance, perfect for fans of macabre historical fiction. Recommend to readers who enjoy Kenneth Oppel’s 'The Apprenticeship of Victor Frankenstein' series or Megan Shepherd’s 'Madman’s Daughter' trilogy." - School Library Journal (starred review)

Great sequel!

Love this book so much right from the beginning! The sequel and continuance of Hazel’s story had some twists and turns which kept me on the edge of my seat.

Dana Schwartz please write more historical fiction!

I love Dana Schwartz

Interesting book, I would recommend it to fans of Dana Schwartz's Noble Blood podcast

Great story but wished for alternate ending

I loved the story but without spoilers, Simon’s introduction took my mind to a different place. It was flirty and and challenging and really made Hazel come to life with an independence that I wanted for her. Jack is my boy, my day one from Anatomy so when she thought of him my heart would sink because I myself as a reader was caught between the two. I personally would have preferred something different but I genuinely feel that Simon and Jack should not exist in the same world. They’re both amazing. Also loved Princess Charlotte!

retcon'd the first book

it wasn't as strong as the first book surprisingly. it felt like this book retcon some emotions and decisions from first book. there were some hard to swallow character decisions in this book which took me out of the story, it went beyond suspension of disbelief, and against the established character.
great voice acting,

Loved it!

This story was just amazing! I love how Dana intertwined the historical with the fantastical. Without giving any spoilers it's impossible to explain what I loved the most about how things resolve. I loved the characters, old and new, and I especially liked Simon.
Overall, I highly recommend this sequel!
