Immortal City by Scott Speer



Quite recently, I finished reading a book called Immortal City. At first, I was hesitant to start reading because this seemed like another one of those cliched romance stories. However, I was pleasantly surprised. For a romance story with angels, this book ranks pretty high on my good-reads list. The ending was probably the only thing I mildly disliked. Yet I get too ahead of myself. Immortal City is set in Angel City, where two races live alongside one another-- the Guardian Angels, and the humans. The humans look up to the Guardian Angels like celebrities, and well... angels. Meanwhile, to the Guardian Angels, humans are just another assignment, another fan to deal with. It's always been this way-- Angels collecting payments to save the humans, huge sums of money. Life insurance. However, what happens when one of them falls for one of the humans? In the City of Angels, the rules are about to be broken, and hidden secrets unveiled.

If you could buy life insurance with a ton of money, would you do it? On the other hand, if you had the power to save the ones you loved but only if they had an incredibly sum of money for you, how would you feel? Would you save your loved one no matter what the consequences? Or would your dignity and status get the better of you? In this society, it's unheard of for the Guardian Angels to save someone out of goodwill, even love. However, things may just change when Jackson Godspeed, also known as Jacks, meets Maddy and they spark an electric connection. When Guardian Angels protect for money, what happens when one protects for love?

Meet Jackson Godspeed, the most famous celebrity currently in Angel City. Flawless and the personification of perfect, he's supposedly everything a girl could want. Anything a fan could want. He's rich, famous, and extremely handsome. Meanwhile, there's normal, sweet Maddy, who grew up in a normal environment, who takes people for how they act instead of what is portrayed on the networks. Sweet Maddy who wants nothing but the safety of the people around her and who would take a knife for the ones who loves. Together and apart, they discover secrets and attractions that could change and ruin their future.

Scott Speer writes an interesting book on insurance, love, and revenge. I recommend it to anyone who enjoys romance and adventure!

***I give this book a 8.7 out of 10***
