( )Reviewed for queuemyreview.com; book release Nov08 “Immortals: The Haunting” by Robin T. Popp is book number six in the ‘Immortals’ series. I’ve read ‘em all and there’s only one book left to come which will be a collection of three short stories; one by each author who contributed to the series. Even though this book is not about one of the main immortal characters from the story (though we do get an appearance by one), it’s still a very good read—especially for paranormal fans. Mai is a wood nymph who joined in the great battle against an ancient demon who tried to destroy our world. Her magic has been unreliable since the battle and she is suffering from symptoms of post traumatic stress disorder to boot--nightmares, hallucinations, and voices. Heck, her last hallucination almost killed her! If it hadn’t been for a shadowy savior who appeared to save her, she’s would have been toast. Now her dreams are filled with her dream man who makes exquisite love to her…but she keeps waking up before the big finish, darn it. Good thing she just met a real man who makes her heart race and seems to like what he sees too. Who needs a dream guy? Nick is a dreamwalker. He’s also a chameleon, able to assume to visage of whatever he chooses. Both of these abilities are his heritage and his duty. His ‘day job’ is working as a bodyguard and survival trainer. He’s happy with his life the way it is, good money and plenty of women. The absolute LAST thing he’s looking for is his ‘spirit match’. He’s interested in Mai…very interested. Then strange things begin to happen around Mai and soon Nick realizes the woman from his dreams is his match. How can he continue a relationship with Mai now that he knows his perfect other is real? Very absorbing and very hot! These two will have you tingling at the same time you’re either looking over your shoulder or praying for really, really sweet dreams! They are both strong characters who aren’t used to needing, or asking for, help and it takes them a while to understand that assistance doesn’t mean weakness. Popp’s paranormal world is a cool mixture of ancient and American Indian lore set in New York. Her supporting characters introduce a mystery and a tragedy which (I’m pretty sure) will be continued in either a short story or an offshoot novel. The plot contained quite a few surprises for me and even some humor to round out my favorite things. For those who have been following this series, “Immortals: The Haunting” is a not-to-miss continuation. For fans of Robin T. Popp, this is an excellent addition to her works. For paranormal fans, it’s just a darn good read. And take my advice…you may want to cover up your mirrors before you start the book!
