The Immortal Who Loved Me by Lynsay Sands

An Argeneau Novel

I'm surprised it took me this long to get a book from the Argeneau series in here. 

This is book... 24 in the series? 20? 19? I can't remember. Sorry. It's in the double digits though.

The book focuses on Sherry Carne -  a mortal - and Basil Argeneau - an immortal (don't call the old ones vampires, it makes them cranky).

As someone who has read the previous books, this was another exciting book in the series. And it concluded the underlying plot from the past few books nicely.

I can also say while reading the previous books is probably the best way to read these, it would be easy to read a random one and not be too lost. Lynsay Sands explains things that happened previously in a concise manner and doesn't info dump randomly. If something needs explained, it is usually done in conversations that make sense. 

Anyway!

Sherry and Basil!

Both are good characters with great personalities. Sherry has the appropriate misgivings at being thrust into this new world of immortals without being annoying about it.

Basil is caring and sweet. He doesn't have a BIG personality like some of the other characters, but I enjoyed his laid back ways. 

The plot twist was solid and well done.

But, most importantly...

Justin Bricker.

My two favorite characters in this series have been Thomas Argeneau and Justin Bricker since each of them were introduced. Thomas wasn't in this one (sad face) but Bricker was. I adored him being a little shit to Lucian sooooo much. And the whole other names for cock scene was priceless. Loved it.

Fantastic writing. Wonderful humor. All around a great book.
