ok i did not know this was a long series and that this is #34, however reading the book was easy. stephanie & thorne were good for each other, she’s strong & helps others & he just wasn’t sure how he felt about himself since he had a mix of dna. they are mates & i love stories involving mates. i received this arc from NG and this is my voluntary review.

Immortal Rising is another installment in the Argeneau series by Lynsay Sands. In this book we meant the heroine Stephanie McGill who was attacked and turned as a teen. Stephanie is spunky, and immediately likable. Being an immortal is already quite something add to it that she has a pretty unique ability, and the reader can sense that she’s feeling rather lonely in her little carve corner, though she's surrounded by her very awesome adopted family.

Thorne we have met before, he is Dr. Dressler’s son, aka the wacko geneticist that loves experimenting with DNA recombination. This makes Thorne pretty unique himself, as he has human DNA spliced with animal DNA. Though this is fine as a read alone, I think it would be best if the other books were read also that first introduces us to Stephanie and Thorne. Having met the characters before, I did not think them a good pairing, but it was pulled off. Thorne physically looks like a man; a hot off the meters one, except he has wings that make it hard to live a normal life and so becomes Stephanie’s neighbor while Dani (Stephanie’s sister) figures out how to take them off. So, what follows is a steamy romantic adventure, full of the typical Ms Sands humor and quirk that makes you wanna read till the end. My review was given on the ARC copy received from the Publisher via NetGalley in return for my honest opinion.

After reading immortal rising all I can say is, wow. I flew through this book and couldn’t get enough. The action was great, good plot/dilemma, and then there’s some spicy romance all mixed together. The book keeps you on your toes as there’s always something happening, which makes it impossible to put down. There wasn’t a dull moment, and I absolutely LOVED Thorne and Stephanie. They’re both sweethearts and you can’t help but root for the both of them. I really hope they’re revisited in another book because at the ending they were talking about some exciting possibilities and I’d love to read more about their journey.

I drop in and out of this series because while a bit formulaic (the two main characters will fall in love, go through some personal incompatibility, and there will be a Happily Ever After), I find them to be perfect comfort reads. And this one lived up to my expectations - two great and unique main characters who treat each other as equals, a more serious outside overarching plotline, no miscommunciation trope, some funny moments sprinkled in.

Sands is a great writer - the characters are well-rounded and generally likeable and sympathetic and the romance and outside plot are given equal time. I appreciate that Sands has darker plot points but the story itself doesn't lean into the dark or horror that it easily could. I personally also love that all of the male characters that Sands writes are wonderful feminist males without the toxic masculinity traits that usually gets added to male main characters in romance/fantasy genre.

I also appreciate that this series edition gave enough background information that despite skipping quite a few I was able to pick up on all the overarching plot easily (one note is there were always a lot of characters mentioned by name that I assume are from previous books which was a little overwhelming at times).

If you are a fan of this series, this is another great edition. If you aren't this is a great one to start with.

I am so happy to see Stephanie's story come to life and we get an in depth look at her romance!

FINALLLLY!

As usual, another awesome book by MS. Sands
I love this series, and I love that each couple gets their own story.
I am so happy that Stephanie gets a happy ending and a life mate, it's awesome that it is one of the hybrids from Dressler's island.
I am also glad that Stephanie and Dani got to have their "talk" about their relationship

This story like all in the series, has lots of action and lots of loving.

I loved this story. I have read quite a few of Lynsay Sands' books, but it's been awhile since I've read any paranormal. Once I got into it, I couldn't put it down. The main characters were Stephanie and Thorne. Stephanie had been turned when she was just a teenager and was having trouble shutting out the voices from people around her. Thorne had been created by a psycho, had wings, hearing of a bat and several other things that made him very special. It was quite embarrassing for her when she said something about him having a hot body and realized he could hear her. The story moved along quickly and lots of things were explained when Lucian and his group came out to help with an attack on them. He figured out pretty quickly what was happening to her.

I got this book from NetGalley and am voluntarily leaving a review

This is the second book I have read by this author. I liked her characters. Stephanie was going to get through with or without anyone. Thorne was a made from a genetic experiment. I didn't care to much for that aspect of the book but I did enjoy their relationship between Stephanie and Thorne. Would recommend it because it was very exciting.

We met Stephanie in The Immortal Hunter when she was brutally attacked and changed at the tender age of fifteen. She has grown up and has learned to use her problems to assist the rogue hunters.
We met Thorne in Immortal Unchained. Thorne is a unique being with the looks of a fallen angel.
When they meet the chemistry is undeniable but they both have issues. As with everything since she was turned Stephanie tackles this with smarts, humor and fortitude. These two were made for each other.
I loved seeing a grown-up Stephanie and her relationship with her sister Dani. I loved the interplay between Lucian and Stephanie.
I truly love this series and was thrilled to see Stephanie get her happy.

This was my first time picking up a book in this series but I definitely don't think it will be my last. I have also never read a paranormal book by Lynsay Sands but she brought me to the dark side. I really enjoyed this novel Stephanie and Thorne were so good for each other, I liked how their romance blossomed. There was also a great balance between their romance and the mystery and action in the storyline. I never felt like the story slowed down or got boring at any point it was all so captivating. I was a little nervous that I wasn't going to understand what was happening in the plot because this was the 34th book in the Argeneau series but I never felt lost, anyone could easily pick this book up as a stand alone. I'm glad I had the opportunity to read this book it made me want to read the rest in the series! And I'm so happy there are 33 other it will hold me over until the next books come out. Thank you to Netgalley for this ARC.

I was very excited to read this book, I'm a huge fan of the series and have been reading it for a very long time and Stephanie and Thorne were definitely two that I was interested in. Unfortunately, for me it fell a bit flat. I was so excited because I thought Stephanie had this huge destiny in the series but it all just ended blandly. To start I was a little thrown that Stephanie was grown up all of a sudden because last we saw here she was I would say 15. I guess I just found that the story didn't feel very original, it felt like something we had read before and I felt like it moved slow and fast at the same time. Overall, I thought that they were cute and they made a good couple and I liked that Thorne was very different than the usual but I felt that it just didn't gel the way that it usually does and was a lot blander than the books generally are.

Nothing absolutely significant to say about this. I felt a bit meh about this one. The end was the best part. Not because it was over but because everything came together.

It has been a while since I read a Lynsay Sands book. I had 6 of them to catch up on. I can tell you it was not a chore. It was like coming home again. I love her writing. It always brings me joy. Now I’ve read others people reviews of this already and I saw that some say that you could read this as a stand-alone. That you didn’t have to read the others. While Lynsay Sands does always break down the important information in ever book as a recap of the important information in case you do. I do not recommend reading this as a stand-alone. Stephanie’s story had been a long time coming. And as we have seen her sister, Dani’s, story and the island where Throne comes from you miss a lot of precious information about who Dressler is your n the beginning and why it is important that he is in the beginning of the book. Over all I think this is one of my favorite Argeneau story’s.
Thank you NetGalley and HarperCollons for the opportunity to read this Advance Reader Copy!

#netgalleyarc I’ve been reading this series for a LONG time and this is one of the better books I’ve read in the last few years. It still follows the typical “recipe” of the series but this one was more exciting and entertaining compared to the last few books of the series. Not something I’ll purchase for my high school library but still a great, fun read.

This book has a very unique story with great smut, humor, drama, and characters. Where it fell short for me was there was a lot of double explaining where it didn’t need to be and didn’t let the reader connect the dots.

Another great entry in the Argeneau series from author Lynsay Sands. Stephanie is a misfit in the immortal world. Thorne is an experiment by Dr. Dressler a one of a kind. Both are looking to have a little privacy but things get heated when Dr. Dressler wants Stephanie. This was a fun read.

I don't really know why I love lynsay sands so much, but I could read her books and never come across one I didn't like. Sometimes I feel like she runs out of ideas and uses the same trope over again with the same plot, but idk if it's nostalgic for me or what but I still love them. This felt a bit similar to a couple others she wrote, yet I still loved it.

I'd stopped reading these for awhile, because it felt like she was recycling stories. Sadly, it still feels that way, BUT that said, I loved seamlessly entering her world again. Always just a simply good, quick read!

Immortal Rising, the 34th Argeneau book proves that the series is still going strong. I really enjoyed seeing Stephanie finally get a HEA. We've been following her story for a very long time in the series now, and it was satisfying to see how her romance resolved the big outstanding issues. I also liked seeing Thorne again & while I wouldn't have thought of him as a match for Stephanie, it totally made sense in the book.. They are 2 unique beings that fit together. The action and mystery kept the story moving and built to a fantastic finale.

A Review by Jamilla @LandsAwayBooks on Wordpress.

It was so much fun being back into this series that I loved in adolescence, seeing how everyone has settled into their roles and lives and seeing these two characters that we’ve glimpsed at so many times before find a home in each other, against all odds!

Although I don’t think that you have to read all the other books in the series to enjoy and understand this book, I feel like your enjoyment of this story would be enriched by knowing and loving the other characters we got glimpses of throughout!
