Book Summary:

Nastasya has spent the last century living as a spoiled, drugged-out party girl. She feels nothing and cares for no one. But when she witnesses her best friend, a Dark Immortal, torture a human, she realizes something's got to change. She seeks refuge at a rehab for wayward immortals, where she meets the gorgeous, undeniably sexy Reyn, who seems inexplicably linked to her past.
Nastasya finally begins to deal with life, and even feels safe--until the night she learns that someone wants her dead.
Cate Tiernan, author of the popular Sweep series, returns with an engaging story of a timeless struggle and inescapable romance, the first book in a stunning new fantasy trilogy.

I really enjoyed this book and I'm not exactly sure why... the writing, the humor, the characters, the story ... probably a little bit of all of it.

I almost stopped a chapter or two in due to content but the story kept me interested.  Nastasya has been around the block....  She's immortal and has been alive for a long time so she's seen and done just about about everything.  If that had remained the focus of the book I would have quit reading but the book was more about much more than that.  I enjoyed watching Nastasya grow and change and make discoveries about herself throughout the book.   I really do need to get a copy of the sequel soon!
