At the beginning of this book I thought this was going to be a book that was so-so but not awesome however, as I read on and got more involved in the story I found that it was really good. The author did a good job at building the story up for the revelation and the bad guy. This was a completely original story with immortals that are not vampire and a bad guy that is a blast from the past.In this story there are four types of immortals. The first type is Geo these are immortals capable of controlling earth elements like storms and such. The second type is Fringe. Fringe immortals are capable of blending in with their surroundings so that they are overlooked unless you already know they are there. The next type of immortal is the Creator. Creators are just like they sound they are the ones who make other immortals. The final type is a Pumper and this is what the main character Mercy is. She was a human that died but when she came back her heart still beats and she still bleeds and she eats and drinks like a human. The other 3 types of immortals do not bleed, eat or drink nor do they have a heartbeat.Mercy is a loner and doesn’t see many redeeming factors in people so she stays away and does not form relationships. After learning her past throughout the story I can completely see how she came to be this way. Adam is the exception to her rule. He fascinates her because he sees the beauty in humanity and life itself that Mercy is lacking. She sticks around just trying to figure him out. Adam is a painter also. The pictures described in the story sound beautiful. I wish I had one. In the end Mercy has to make a decision as to whether she will stick around Adam for a while longer or should she just move on like she always does never staying longer than a year or so in any one place. The secondary characters in this story were also very interesting and lively. They each had their own personalities that showed through in their actions also.This story is not just a romance story it is a story of a fight for survival for immortals. They thought they were unable to die but recent discoveries will shake up their beliefs. I can’t wait to see what is in the next installment of this new series.*I received this book free from the author in return for an honest review.*
