Joining the battle over the Immortal Tain and against the demon Kehksut/Amadja/Culsu/presumably others are the Immortal Kalen and the water witch Christine. Kalen has been collecting art and trying to be an artist himself for the last 700 years, and has fallen under the spell of a half-Sidhe muse who wants his immortal soul for herself. Christine paints watercolors, and apparently is a better muse than the leanan-sidhe.
I was well pleased with this third volume by as many authors in the Immortals series. Joy Nash is quite on par with the other two and my apprehension that one or more of the other authors of this series would be less talented than the first has be alleviated. Although Nash's work seems to contain more sex than the other two, it didn't suffer overmuch, and was actually quite good. Nash is a descriptive writer, but her word choices were not as cringe-worthy as a lot of authors who are heavy on both sex and adjectives.
I liked Christine as a character quite a lot, but Kalen was a little more controlling and 'Alpha' than I prefer romance heroes to be. I am most intrigued by Mac, son of the Sidhe queen Niniane and the sea god Lir. I hear one of the upcoming volumes in this series is his story and am quite excited to read it. ( )

This is the 3rd in the Immortals Series. While I did enjoy the first two books which were by different authors, I didn't care for this one. I felt the writing style lacking. I didn't really see the Immortal as anything special somewhat a user of humans and demons alike. I didn't feel that the characters were presented as well as they should be, The story did not grab me like the first two books did. The ending was alright - the demon fight was pretty good but that left the rest of the book lame. I have never read Joy Nash before and am unsure if I would try one of hers again. ( )
