My Wicked Enemy (My Immortal Series #1)

Great Addition to Paranormal Romance Library!

As an avid reader and collector of Paranormal Romance Books and series, I definately recommend My Wicked Enemy, book #1 of the My Immortal Series by Carolyn Jewel. A must-read for fans of P/R Series by authors Jacqueline Frank, Gena Showalter, Christina Dodd, & Lara Adrian. Story-line's main characters include Nikodemus,the sexy powerful warlord demon with a wickedly sarcastic sense of humor; Carson, the innocent mortal female on the run from the notorius mage, Magellan; and crew of bad-ass demonkind brothers of Nikodemus. My Wicked Enemy has all the elements of a great P/R story; Action, Wicked Humor, Magic, Danger, & Steamy Scenes with Sexy Supernaturals. I'm definately looking forward to reading book 2 of the series!

Just not enough

I really wanted to like this book. Unfortunatly the writing just wasn't good enough. I found the characters lacked depth which made it difficult to like and understand them. Surprisingly, the author chose not to explore the reasons why the different characters felt things. She skipped the internal converstaions that they had with themselves, leaving us wondering why they were scared of somethings, why they were angery at others, and most importantly, why the two main characters were attracted to each other!
But more than just the characters were a problem. The writing was also confusing. The "action" scenes left me wondering what the heck had happened! Some of the romance scenes were so baffling that I came away wondering if they had sex or was it in her head!
Like I said, I really wanted to like this story. It had an interesting spin on demons, witchs, ect... Unfortunatly the writing just got in the way. One has to wonder how she got a second book in this series published. In fact, I wonder who decided to publish this one?

Poorly written

There was a good story in here somewhere but the writing was so bad it was distracting. I found myself rereading to see if it was ME who missed something...as scenes were described parts were missing and you were like...okay...they were standing but now they on a couch but how did they GET there??? The loves scenes were just bafling and the dialog was not realistic...

amazing

this book was absolutely amazing! i loved every second of it

must read

great writting and a smooth read. enjoyed will keep reading the series

This is a Keeper

Ms. Jewel totally understands that a reader has a brain. Thank goodness she doesn't bore us with long internal rambles and repeat a character's motivation every other page. The first time through, I read it as fast as I could - some very hot and interesting sex. When I re-read it, I picked up all the stuff I missed the first time and was blown away even more. This is a world I want to visit in as many books as she can produce.

hot

This was a page turner. I could not put this down. Alittle hard to follow at times but I would read another just like it in a second...

Excellent romantic fantasy

In Tiburon, California, Alvaro Magellan raised the orphan Carson Phillips. She believed he was altruistic until she learns the truth about her guardian when she witnesses his killing of a man. As if a haze lifted from her brain, she concludes her protector was siphoning her psychic skills for his personal use. Desperate to escape, Carson flees the affluent mansion she has called home taking a talisman with her. Frightened she expects her former hero to send his minion to bring her back for him to overtly steal her power. ---- On the streets of San Francisco¿s Chinatown, Carson has little faith of surviving until she meets warrior demon chieftain Nikodemus, who recognizes her as his most detestable enemy¿s best weapon. He rejects her claims of innocence as he assumes she volunteered to assist her mentor with her power enhancing his. However, he scans her mind to find out if she is telling the truth. She offers to help him destroy demon-kind¿s worst nightmare if he keeps her safe. As they work together, he wonders if it is her magic that keeps him in a constant state of desire she believes a higher form of magic called love has her wanting the demon. ---- Romantic fantasy fans will want to read MY WICKED ENEMY as the transformation of Carson from ignorant abused to powerful witch in love makes the tale fun to read as she and readers know it is her new codependence on Nikodemus that enables her to change. That switch from total submissive to loving equal makes the exciting tale for the paranormal romance fans, but many purebred fantasists would prefer the demon used her too in his need for vengeance. Still with a strong support cast and a superb Northern California setting inside a strong mystical High Noon story line, sub-genre fans will appreciate this fine jewel of a tale. ---- Harriet Klausner
