This review is from: Immortal (Kindle Edition)

I enjoyed this book well enough to finish it, but not fully enough to venture to the next one. I spent alot of time lost in all the changes, character insertions, without warning scene changes that it took away from the overall delivery for me. The formatting needs to be edited so that there are some sort of breaks when changing from one scene to another. The storyline left me confused about the main villains true motivation for wanting to destroy the heroinne. The time traveling also left me with multiple questions, not sure from once sentence to the next where I was in the connection with the "present" story. I do however think the Author is very talented, and I will say that perhaps I was simply out of my element in this one, but this is my honest critique.

5.0 out of 5 stars A unique take on shapeshifters, August 9, 2010

I'm not a shape shifter fan but I'm a definite Valjeanne Jeffers fan. She takes the genre and tosses it around, combining sci-fi, horror and romance resulting in an exciting and interesting book. Valjeanne also makes her characters very believable in this fantastic setting. She never fails to incorporate the character's personal and ordinary struggles into their extraordinary and public lives. Valjeanne is also a master at action scenes. Her fight scenes and exciting and tense, just like I like them. I'll be following this series to the end.

5.0 out of 5 stars A vivid and challenging world..., August 17, 2008

Ms. Jeffers has created an oddly vivid and not so far-fetched neo-Earth in Immortal. Quick paced and well-crafted, I felt a connection with her protagonists and a distilled hatred for her antagonists. The characters' backstories fit together like the pieces of an intricate puzzle. From the absence of war to the presence of the obscenely paranormal, the frightening and beautiful; dangerous and air-tight; Immortal is filled with yins and yangs that somehow culminate into a satisfying literary balance. A wonderful read from beginning to end.
