Welcome to a new America that is built on blood, sweat, and gears...
In steam age America, men, monsters, machines, and magic battle for the same scrap of earth and sky. In this chaos, bounty hunter Cedar Hunt rides, cursed by lycanthropy and carrying the guilt of his brother's death. Then he's offered hope that his brother may yet survive. All he has to do is find the Holder: a powerful device created by mad devisers-and now in the hands of an ancient Strange who was banished to walk this Earth.
In a land shaped by magic, steam, and iron, where the only things a man can count on are his guns, gears, and grit, Cedar will have to depend on all three if he's going to save his brother and reclaim his soul once and for all...

This weeks TT Book Cover:

Dante comes from an ancient line of shifters whose sole purpose is to keep their charges safe from vampires. 


Isn't it beautiful?  I love the colors and the contrast of this cover. The wolf in the background makes it even more intriguing.  I love it.

Thrilling Thursdays #5 & Twitter Hop - Come join me


Hello all my lovely Peeps.  I know I've been out of the loop a bit and not carrying out my promised weekly features,  but I've been busy as heck.  I've not lacked on giving you something to read though lol.  Did you check out the Blog Tour de Force Cage Matches last week?  Holy Crow!  They were a blast!  Plus I got to meet some awesome new authors and read their magnificent books!  YAY ME!

Anyways,  we've got a busy schedule coming up the next few months.  I will try to keep my weekly/daily features on target,  but when I have an author scheduled,  I don't like to take away from their post on that day,  so please bare with me :).  I will try to post the feature right before the author post,  like today.

So for those of you here for the first time,  welcome to Immortality and Beyond.  Thrilling Thursdays is a weekly feature I run for a book cover that caught my eye during the week.  I will share with you that book with a synopsis and a why I like the cover.  If you want to join me for this feature,  simply copy the picture above and then leave me a comment letting me know you're participating so I can hop on over to your blog and check out the book that caught your eye during the past week.

This week:

I’d rather face a dozen lethal assassins any night than deal with something as tricky, convoluted, and fragile as my feelings.
But here I am. Gin Blanco, the semi-retired assassin known as the Spider. Hovering outside sexy businessman Owen Grayson’s front door like a nervous teenage girl. One thing I like about Owen: he doesn’t shy away from my past—or my present. And right now I have a bull’s-eye on my forehead. Cold-blooded Fire elemental Mab Monroe has hired one of the smartest assassins in the business to trap me. Elektra LaFleur is skilled and efficient, with deadly electrical elemental magic as potent as my own Ice and Stone powers. Which means there’s a fifty-fifty chance one of us won’t survive this battle. I intend to kill LaFleur—or die trying—because Mab wants the assassin to take out my baby sister, Detective Bria Coolidge, too. The only problem is, Bria has no idea I’m her long-lost sibling . . . or that I’m the murderer she’s been chasing through Ashland for weeks. And what Bria doesn’t know just might get us both dead. . . .




I just think I'm really attracted to red lol.  The crimson colors really draw me and check out that dagger/knife man.  I bet this chic is really kick ass!  Well of course she is,  she's an assassin.  I loved the synopsis of this book as well,  is definitely on my TBR.

Thrilling Thursdays & Twitter Friend Thursday


Thrilling Thursdays is a weekly meme introducing you to a new book cover that caught my eye this week.  I'd love to know which cover you are into.


Abandoned by her wolf shifter father and raised by her human psychic mother, Carmen Mendoza can't deny she's different. She craves things most women shy away from--and she has a trail of shapeshifting ex-boyfriends to prove it.

Working at a clinic for supernatural creatures, she's escaped the notice of her father's legacy-obsessed family. Until they need a pawn in their bid for power. Snared by a vicious spell designed to wake her inner wolf, Carmen's only hope is to trust the one man strong enough to soothe her darkest instincts.

Alec Jacobson was once the heir apparent to the wolves' ruling elite, until he walked away to marry the woman he loved. She paid with her life. He lives as a rebel, a black-sheep alpha who protects the supernatural residents of New Orleans from the wolves' barbaric class system. Too bad he can't protect himself from his need for Carmen.

Yet staking his claim on his enemy's niece will turn his city into a battleground. Unless he can find a way to stop breaking the rules--and start making them.

Warning: This book contains a renegade alpha wolf, a smart empathic doctor, very dirty sex with psychic safe-words, the occasional dominance game in and out of the bedroom, and a group of supernatural citizens ready to take on the corrupt leaders of their world.

Is that cover not gorgeous?  You should see the rest of them in the series too!  Phenomenal!  So can't wait to read them.

Tara Sheridan is the best criminal profiler around—and the most unconventional. Trained as a forensic psychologist, Tara also specializes in Tarot card reading. But she doesn’t need her divination skills to realize that the new assignment from her friend and sometime lover, Agent Harry Li, is a dangerous proposition in every way.

Former Cold War operatives, all linked to a top-secret operation tracking the disposal of nuclear weapons in Russia, are disappearing. There are no bodies, and no clues to their whereabouts. Harry suspects a conspiracy to sell arms to the highest bidder. The cards—and Tara’s increasingly ominous dreams—suggest something darker. Even as Tara sorts through her feelings for Harry and her fractured relationship with the mysterious order known as Delphi’s Daughters, a killer is growing more ruthless by the day. And a nightmare that began decades ago in Chernobyl will reach a terrifying endgame that not even Tara could have foreseen. . . .

I just love this cover.  The tarot cards floating around really piques my interest not to mention the girl.  It just makes me want to read it to find out what she has to do with tarot.  Love the colors too.  Another book I can't wait to read.  Maybe I should change my site name to book junkie lol.

From Goodreads:
In a world where magic is real and the supernatural is almost normal, bodyguard Celia Graves has survived a vampire attack which made her a half-vampire and awakened her latent Siren abilities. She’s battled a Siren Queen to the death and twice faced down a demon that wants to kill her--slowly. She’s also had her heart broken--twice--by her old flame, magician Bruno DeLuca.

Perhaps the worst thing was the discovery that Celia’s life has been warped by a curse laid on her during childhood--the cause of everything from the death of her little sister to the murder of her best friend the same night that Celia became an Abomination.

An ancient rift between the demonic dimension and our own--sealed during the destruction of Atlantis--begins to open, threatening to loose all the demons of hell on humanity (including the one personally bent on destroying Celia). Celia’s hellish recent experiences have given her the unique combination of abilities needed to close the rift. But to overcome the curse, which nearly guarantees her failure, she’ll need to join forces with people she no longer trusts...and put people she has come to care about directly in harm’s way. 



I think this cover is just gorgeous.  The glowing red eyes and the fangs....mmm I just love this cover.  I've read the first chapter of this book and I have to say that I really like Cat Adams' writing style,  plus I just love her name.  So much that I've added this series to my TBR and cannot wait to start reading it.

Thrilling Thursdays #3

Thrilling Thursdays is a weekly meme for a book cover that caught my eye this week and why.  I would love to know what book cover caught your eye too.   Please leave me a comment and link to your blog.

Half-vampire Catherine Crawfield is going after the undead with a vengeance, hoping that one of these deadbeats is her father—the one responsible for ruining her mother's life. Then she's captured by Bones, a vampire bounty hunter, and is forced into an unholy partnership.
In exchange for finding her father, Cat agrees to train with the sexy night stalker until her battle reflexes are as sharp as his fangs. She's amazed she doesn't end up as his dinner—are there actually good vampires? Pretty soon Bones will have her convinced that being half-dead doesn't have to be all bad. But before she can enjoy her newfound status as kick-ass demon hunter, Cat and Bones are pursued by a group of killers. Now Cat will have to choose a side . . . and Bones is turning out to be as tempting as any man with a heartbeat.

Thrilling Thursdays #2

Thrilling Thursdays is a weekly meme for a book cover that caught my eye this week and why.  I would love to know what book cover caught your eye too.  If you want to share,  please add your blog to the linky below.

Secrets of the Demon (Kara Gillian Book #3)  by Diana Rowland
Homicide detective Kara Gillian has a special talent: she can sense the "arcane" in our world, and there's quite a bit of it, even in Beaulac, Louisiana. She's also a summoner of demons, and works on a task force that deals with supernatural crimes. Her partners are attractive and smart FBI agents, but they're not summoners, and they're not telling Kara why they are on this special force with her.

TO make things worse, Kara has pledged herself to one of the most powerful of demons-a Demon Lord-who helped save her partner's life, but now expects things in return. Meanwhile, she's trying to solve a string of murders that are somehow tied together by money, sex, rock music and...mud. But how can she concentrate on the case when she's not even sure who-or what-her partners are?




I love the dark,  eery contrast.  The demons red eyes in the background make this a book that I would love to read even before reading the synopsis.

Until next week,

Thrilling Thursdays #1

Thrilling Thursdays is a new feature I'm starting.  Here you will see what book cover caught my eye this week and what I loved about it.


Passion. Fate. Loyalty.
Would you risk it all to change your destiny?
The last thing Kelsey Hayes thought she'd be doing this summer was trying to break a 300-year old Indian curse. With a mysterious white tiger named Ren. Halfway around the world.
But that's exactly what happened.
Face-to-face with dark forces, spell-binding magic, and mystical worlds where nothing is what it seems, Kelsey risks everything to piece together an ancient prophecy that could break the curse forever.
Tiger's Curse is the exciting first volume in an epic fantasy-romance that will leave you breathless and yearning for more.





This cover is gorgeous.  I love the tiger and the colors,  they are so drawing.  I've added this book to my TBR.
