Have you ever read a series where you would give just about anything to crawl into the world that the author created and enjoy living there for a while as one of the "in the know" characters? I don't need to be someone important in the world, but I refuse to be one of the multitudes of humans that have no idea of the amazing world(s) they live in.This is how I feel about a few of the series I've written about here, but most recently, the world of the Immortal Heart series by Magen McMinimy.I very recently became acquainted with the Immortal Heart novels. McMinimy takes her readers deep into a world of fae - with everything from winged warriors to succubi, leprechauns, brownies and troll-like creatures. Each character - even those that we get to know only for a few moments are so well-crafted that you feel as if you know them personally. It is for these and many other reasons I hope you find for yourself if/when you read the books that I was all too happy to continue following along with the lives and antics of the Immortal Warriors.In Immortal Craving, we get a continued glimpse into the relationship of Isabelle and Bain that started in Immortal Blood, but I have to say that what pleased me the most is that McMinimy gives us the inside scoop on my favorite of the warrior brothers - Kale. The youngest of the group, Kale is oft described as reckless, immature ... the troublemaker that everyone has to watch out for. What we didn't learn in Immortal Blood is the heartache that travels with Kale all the time. Kale definitely shows that even within a person with the most "Laissez Les Bon Temp Roulez" attitude, there is true depth and even hurt, invisible scars and darkness.After years of imprisonment in the realm of the Dark Fae, Katerina has chosen to live her life in the human realm. When she is called upon to help the warriors seek out an elusive member of the fae that is leaving bodies in her wake, Katerina comes face to face with the one man she never thought she'd see again - the one that betrayed her.The whirlwind McMinimy puts these two through would definitely try even the most stoic and hardened of hearts. Every step of the way in the hunt for the killer, I kept silently yelling at the pages that everyone needed to just stop and say everything they were thinking. It was a situation I wish I couldn't have jumped into to act as a counselor because boy do these two need it.Beautifully written, an incredibly interesting world, and some of the best dialogue you'll get - all within Immortal Craving.
