From Booklist

Few people have the skill to work both life magic and death magic. American witch Artemis Black happens to have that unique gift, and she has been using both kinds of magic to cast spells that steal the life essence of faeries. As Guardian of Celtic Magical Creatures in the Human World, Manannán mac Lir—Celtic demigod, Prince of Annwyn, and celebrity musician—now has to find Artemis and stop her. Mac quickly discovers that finding Artemis is easier said than done since the clever witch seems determined to complete her mission. Immortals: The Crossing is a spellbinding addition to the wonderfully original Immortals series, and Nash’s bewitching combination of lush, lyrical writing spiced with a dash of tart wit, superbly crafted characters, and sexy, magic-steeped plot is splendidly entertaining. --John Charles

Product Description

For centuries they have walked among us--vampires, shape-shifters, the Celtic Sidhe, demons, and other magical beings. Their battle to reign supreme is constant, but one force holds them in check, a race of powerful warriors known as the IMMORTALS.

For Manannán mac Lir, a musician and Celtic demigod, life had become a blur of post-gig parties, expensive whisky, and cheap sex. And then the baby almost died--a baby he had sworn to protect. On the hunt for the would-be killer, Mac finds Artemis Black, a stunningly dangerous woman who's inexplicably able to intertwine life magic with death magic. For the safety of his people, he should destroy her. But the aching vulnerability in her eyes calls to him. And the raw desire she inspires has nothing to do with a spell. Their love may be forbidden, but Mac and Artemis can't go back once they've made...THE CROSSING

4.0 out of 5 stars Review, September 30, 2008

By	Cheryl K (CO) - See all my reviews

Manannan Mac Lir is the Prince of Annwyn as well as Guardian of Celtic Magical Creatures for the human world. It makes perfect sense to have a half sidhe be guardian. While Mac is visiting his friends Kalen and his wife Christine and their daughter Elspeth, he learns that someone is going around raiding faerie villages of their life essence. Mac goes to investigate who could be doing this. When he arrives at one of the villages he captures the person responsible. Her name is Artemis Black and she is a witch. Tomorrow is Samhain, the changing of the seasons and Artemis needs all the life essence she can get before Samhain takes place. Artemis is brought before Mac's mother and the rest of the counsel and sentenced to exile. Mac knows he should be pleasure with the sentence Artemis received but instead he feels something for Artemis other then hatred. Mac will travel to heaven or hell to bring Artemis back where she belongs.


I devoured Immortal: The Crossing and enjoyed every morsel of it. It had just the right amount of everything. Though I have to admit that Immortal: The Crossing is the first book I have read in the Immortal series. Now after stating that fact, I am excited to say that I was very pleased with Immortal: The Crossing. Ms. Nash writing style made it so effortless to jump right into this book that I never felt like I was missing anything by not reading all of the other books in the series. Immortal: The Crossing can be read as a stand-alone book. Do be warned though that after reading this book you will find yourself like I did wanting to go back and read all of the other books in the Immortal series. I am proud to say I am now a big fan of Joy Nash.

3.0 out of 5 stars MAC Attack!, January 31, 2009

By	pammur (San Jose, CA) - See all my reviews

I really liked Mac in his parts in the previous books. I looked forward to his appearances. This book was good, but I think I liked "Mac" more in his side roles in the previous books. I liked the sort of mystery that surrounded him. I'm not sure I liked the supposed "romance" between him and Artemis and I didn't really like her. I understood her motives, but like Mac, wished she had trusted him more and had more faith as he asked. I'm not really happy how the book ended on several levels but can't list them without giving spoilers. All in all I think I preferred him in smaller amounts and with a little mystery around him.

5.0 out of 5 stars A non-stop page turner, January 6, 2009

The story line is very good, once you get started you don't want to put the book down until you are done with it.
