The Immortal Lost

Image
Book Description   Dylan Black grew up as an outcast. She had few people she considered friends, and even fewer she could hope to trust. Coping with her extraordinary abilities at an early age, she learned to hide what others found extremely bizarre, until the day came that she discovered who and what she really was. It was the day the Immortals walked into her life, giving her the answers she had longed for. Or so she thought. Thrown into an unfamiliar world and hunted by those who desire to use her for her gifts, she has no choice but to trust in one man, a Guardian assigned to protect her, and to keep her safe from the darkness that would surely enslave or destroy her. Alessar Belmonte had no idea that protecting a young, inexperienced Immortal like Dylan Black could be so difficult for a skilled guardian like himself. Little did he know that her talented gifts would be desired by every Dark Immortal looking to gain control and power. His desire to protect her from t

Taken Away

But in the chaos of New Orleans after the storm, no one is looking for just one little girl.

Book Review   The premise of the story is a good one.  I just think that it was very poorly executed.  This book took me quite a long time to finish reading.  It was one of those books that I kept putting down and didn’t want to pick back up.

In his latest book, Live Like A Window, Work Like A Mirror: Enlightenment and the Practice of Eternity Consciousness, psychologist Mark C. Brown, Ph.D. explains the relationship between how we view things and stress, and offers a step-by-step approach to changing what goes on in our heads. “This book provides a totally new perspective on life that helps explain why things are the way they are (even the bad things), promotes a method for releasing us from much of the suffering that is common to being huma
