(Original rating is 3.5 out of 5)Waking Up Immortal is the first installment of Rachel Carrington's Universal Security series.  Waking Up Immortal had it's positives and negatives.  I did enjoy the overall story line and it was a good start for a series.  I am a sucker for sci-fi feel romances and Waking Up Immortal had that feel to it.  Chloe just found out she is immortal.  She cannot die.  Don't think vampires.  More like humans that just heal and don't croak.  Kier, the love interest and machine man prison guard, was so much fun to read about.  The banter and dialog was well written between the characters and the book had a smooth feel to it.  I didn't like feeling Chloe was so emotionally disconnected from her family and reality.  Several things happened in this book that should have been a big deal and Chloe just continued on the same path like those events were nothing.  This was confusing to me and often I actually put the kindle down and thought I missed something. Chloe just seemed apart from the story.  Almost like it was someone else's life and family.  I am not sure that was an intentional character trait the author was looking for.  However, overall I did enjoy this story.I received Waking up Immortal directly from the author in exchange for an honest review.  I received NO compensation for this review.
