Publisher's Summary:

What do you do if the most gorgeous guy you've ever seen asks for your help? No brainer.

Len Whiting is smitten from the minute she sees the stranger's amazing eyes. She agrees to help Caeran find the healer he's been seeking in rural New Mexico. What Len doesn't know is that neither Caeran nor the healer is human: they're immortal lven, and they're locked in an ancient struggle with the vampires who are their kin. Len wants Caeran's love, and wants to help the healer find a cure - but first they must cope with the bloodthirsty vampire who's got his sights set on them all.

Editorial Reviews:

Lenore Whiting, geeky college student and librarian, falls for mysterious Caeran as soon as she meets his amazing eyes. When he asks her to help him find the healer he's been looking for in New Mexico, she doesn't hesitate to say yes. Len discovers that Caeran and the healer he seeks are not human but rather aelven, an immortal race that is locked in ancient combat with their kin, the vampires, one of which they must face in battle. Narrator Jill Ginsberg's characterization of Len is delightfully conceived: listeners will immediately picture a shy, intelligent girl whose wry voice betrays a touch of vulnerability.

An Unusual Tale.

This book was a real surprise! Nagle writes about the Aelven, another term for Elves. Her Elves are immortal, possess unusual gifts, and are not a prolific race. They hide from humans, and resist relationships with humans because humans will age and die. The Aelven won't. Their main problem is a disease which turns those afflicted into vampire-like creatures who only exist on blood. Our main human character, Lenore, known unfortunately as "Len," (what human girl ever deserved that nickname?). Naturally, she becomes immediately obsessed by the Aelven she meets at the campus library where she and her best friend work. The immediate attraction must be another Elven gift; they're very handsome creatures, but I did find Len's obsession surprising. Their relationship came about too fast for my comfort, but maybe the Aelven really are that irresistible.

I found the story complex, and the characters just as complex. The northern New Mexico setting is an important part of the story too, with the Aelven curandero fascinating and appealing on so many levels. This is a unique story, not the usual run of the mill story of Elves and vampires. I couldn't put it down!

SO ready for the next one!

With action, romance, fantasy and a little mystery, this book was a fun read that I could hardly set down. It is light reading, so just right for an afternoon to kick back and relax.

The characters immediately invite you to believe they are real and take them into your heart. Len is just perfect as the main character, if Caeran is a little too perfect as the romantic interest. I am curious to find out why the immortals are so taken by Len's music... next, please?

The characters are fine

The heroine is a young college student. Thankfully, she isn't a Bella-character and she helps out and does stuff. When she is rejected, she doesn't try to kill herself. All these things are good.

The story was good. There were a few things I would have liked to be explained that weren't, but overall it was good.

I would call this more of a Romance than a Fantasy or Paranormal.

Immortal

I was unsure when I got this book but I thoroughly enjoyed it.
