Rating: 4 out of 5

This is the first book that I have read in a long time that does not have a Vampire, Werewolf, Zombie or anything like that, but it is still a Paranormal book. It is a fantastic story where we follow the life of a new Immortal human, Chloe, as she discovers more about the universe after setting out on an adventure to uncover the identity and location of her father, who she hopes will be able to help her.The book is told from one POV, Chloe who was involved in an accident which leads to the discovery of her immortality. Naturally she wants to find out more about herself and she crosses paths with Kier, who tells her to forget about her father and return home. Chloe is a stubborn person and doesn't like being told what to do so she continues on the journey only to run into Kier again. It is the beginning of a type of love/hate relationship as Chloe finds that she really dislikes Kier, but can't help the attraction that she feels for him either.Kier is a mysterious person. I kept wondering whether Chloe could trust him 100% or not, but as the story unfolds you can see that he is a very dedicated person and you can't help but love his protective nature. But there is something to Kier that is different and he seems so perfect. He is very rarely challenged by anyone but Chloe is constantly provoking him and it's amusing to watch them make decisions together.Rachel Carrington is a superb writer and I was absorbed into the story from the very first paragraph....I wasn't happy to discover my immortality. Others might have been exhilarated. Me? I only thought about how I'd have to watch every person who meant something to me die. "You just told me I can't die. How can you sit there calmly drinking tea?"From that paragraph I thought, yep, I'm going to like this one! And I definitely wasn't disappointed. Rachel kept me on the edge of my seat the whole time I was reading and I was never sure who the bad guys actually were. The sex scenes were positively steamy, and if you read the blurb above, the car scene is my favourite!!Waking Up Immortal is a superb start to the series. We discover that there is more to the Universe outside of Earth and I am very eager to see where Rachel will take us next, or who we may meet......
