Publisher's summary

From the best-selling author of Summer Unplugged, The Immortal Mark is the first in a new paranormal romance series by Amy Sparling.

The only thing Cara got for her 18th birthday was an unexpected invitation to move out of her uncle's house. College isn't an option for a poor girl with average grades, so when her best friend Riley finds them a mysterious job opportunity that includes room and board, Cara is interested but thinks it sounds too good to be true.

The night before their interview, Cara has an epic night out with Theo, an impossibly handsome guy she just met. He's charismatic, a little mysterious, and it feels like she's known him her whole life.

When she runs into him at her interview, he's cold and elusive. He makes it very clear that he doesn't want her working with him, which only makes their mutual attraction burn hotter. Cara takes the job for Riley's sake and promises herself she'll avoid this jerk and his mood swings, no matter how hard it is to keep away from him.

Soon she finds out her millionaire employers aren't normal guys who live and travel in luxury. They're immortals. Theo wasn't trying to ruin her job prospects. He was trying to save her life, because the girls they hire never make it out alive.

Boring

Literally one of the most boring books I have listened to in a long time. Narrator was fine but literally soooo boring. Nothing really happens except three things and they are dragged out for hours.

Great YA/Teen Series But It Does Conclude in a Cliffhanger...

This book is a great start to a very unique YA/teen series. There is a touch of paranormal but not much. There is also a bit of romance. Cara and her best friend Riley have gone through a lot! They have such horrible luck and when things seems to be looking up they actually get even worse.

The narration was well done and brought the story to life.

I like the fact that the main characters are young but not immature for their age. They actually seem pretty smart trying to work with all the curve balls that life has thrown at them. They have been dealt a bad hand but they try to figure out how to land on their feet.

I really enjoyed the unique story even though it concluded in a cliffhanger. I'm looking forward to reading/listening to the next book to see how they will get out of their situation. Hopefully, Theo will do his best to help them.

Wow the narration is bad!

Could not get past the first chapter! It felt and sounded like a teen was reading her senior paper out to her class, and was so nervous she put on a fake southern accent. So stilted and unnatural it was unbearable. Giving it some stars for story, I’m sure if you can stand to listen there is a decent one there.

Has Potential

At only five hours long, I expected this to be a quick listen, full of interesting characters and an engaging plot. What I got instead was far from my expectations.

The story itself caught my interest easily - it has an original premise and there were some good ideas to be fleshed out. Unfortunately, the story frequently felt like that - not quite fleshed out, more like an overall layout than an actual, fully realized story. There were several noticeable places where the help of an editor could have improved the story immensely, such as smoothing out redundancies and inconsistencies.

The main character (sigh)... she was not a favorite of mine. I struggled to continue listening as she ran hot and cold, couldn't make up her mind, and was just all over the place. Granted she just turned 18, but given her life experience and current home situation, you'd expect her to behave more maturely than she did. Pair that with her male counterpart, who couldn't articulate a sentence to save his life, and you have a mind-numbing pathetic and annoying duo.

Last, there was the narrator... She was the worst part of the experience for me. I initially listened to the sample, and was charmed by the accent given to the characters. It also seemed in the sample that the characters were well differentiated and had unique voices. That part at least stayed the same throughout the story. Unfortunately, the narrator made the main character's voice monotone and almost emotionless, even when she was mad and yelling. It was difficult to ignore the narrator and instead focus on the story itself.

Unfortunately, what I ended up with was a potentially good story that just really seemed like more of a rough draft rather than a fully realized work. I think with a lot of editing and fleshing out of details and and scenes, this could be quite a good listen. However, I would suggest using a different narrator to fully bring the story and characters to life.

Need more!

I was hooked from the beginning. I basically listened to this in one sitting. This series is soo intriguing and different. The 1st book does a lot of building. The author did a wonderful job of dangling carrots at the end that leave me drooling for the next installment. This is not a stand alone so don't expect anything to be completed with this book alone :) Love this series and can't wait for the next book! Thanks!

Not to leave the narrator out- She did a wonder job!

Note: I received this book free in exchange for my honest and unbiased opinion. It in no way affected my opinion.

Hits the Mark

It has been a while since I read/listened to a book in the Teen category. I felt that this was more of a contemporary then paranormal which I wasn't expecting. There is a lot of backstory (there was a lot of this and the build up did take a while) and some romance. This is about two girls that thru circumstances are running out of options, and choices are made...And who does know the best choices to make at 18. This is just as much about them as the love interest with Theo...which is insta-love. Although they are teens, they were written strong with character flaws but with little immaturity. I did enjoy her writing style and the narration.

A solid teen book...and like I said this book did take a while to build up to the climax, but I am interested to see where the story goes.

Story wasn't bad, BUT...

This ends a cliff hanger.. you just start to enjoy the story, and boom, it ends. I hate that. I try really hard not to listens to books that get stretched out in to many books, when it can just be told in one book. I would MUCH rather pay more for one book, then have to buy 4 or 5 books of a story that has been chopped up in to smaller books that just leads to most money for the writer.
as much as i enjoyed what I heard of the book, I will NOT be buying book two, for this to happen again.
:(
