Helpful Score: 4
I liked the young character of Mac in the earlier books and it was fun reading a continuation of the series. But, personally, I found the plot rather tedius and the primary female character hard to like. It wasn't horrible, just not as good as I'd have hoped.
This is the best book by far of all the Immortals!
Another great book in the immortal series that keeps your interest to the very end: Manannan mac Lir (Mac's) story. Worth the read.
This has been a very good series.I hope they do more.
This one is very interesting. A continuation of the saga of the Immortals. Definitely a must read.
Another great book in this series. Joy Nash does it again. Great read.
If you liked the first Immortals book she wrote, you will definetly like this one. It seemed to take forever to get through the nine levels of hell, (I was actually skimming, and getting bored) but, overall still a good read.
I really liked the other Immortals books. I even liked the other Joy Nash book. This one was not so great. The beginning was promising, but I think the author spent way too much time in her description of Hell and too little time developing the characters. Not to be funny, but slogging through Hell with these two was pure torture ...haha.
I'm afraid I never really cared for the heroine. She was too deceitful and hard-assed. In one scene, the fey council destroyed the stone she was using to collect life essence to trade to a demon for her sons soul. In my mind, I could imagine I would have fallen to my knees grieving and wailing and telling them they had doomed my child (maybe I am overly dramatic), but the heroine stands stoically almost coldly planning her net move. It was also hard to reconcile the Mac described in this book with the mischievous, puckish, almost childish demi-god that was introduced in the previous books.
To top it off, the sex between these too was pretty luke-warm. Almost like the author was required to put two sex scenes in the book so she just kinda did it to meet the requirements. In one instance the couple has sex in the lowest level of Hell, amazingly without anyone including the devil knowing or bothering them. I just dont think I could concentrate, much less fall asleep as these two supposedly do! Maybe they should have let this series end with #5.

At first glance I believed that the book was destined to be a mockery of all the other books. Not because of the author, but because it lacked my beloved immortal warriors. However, I was proven wrong as soon as I began to read the book. The read gets to see a different side of Mac that was not present in any of the other books, as well as a glimpse into the life of one of the immortals after the big battle is over. All in all, I was proven wrong (which I love) and the book was deliciously unexpected.
