Melissa is a vampire; Derek is a vampire hunter.

When beautiful, sad Melissa Jones flees to New Orleans with her telepathic best friend, she is looking for a cure—not an erotic encounter with a sexy former Marine.

Derek Alexander left the military intending to become a private investigator, but with two powerful shifters as partners and an immunity to vampire glamour, he instead rose to the top in paranormal justice.

At a bar on Bourbon Street, Derek and Melissa cross paths, and their sexual chemistry is off the charts. Acting on their feelings, they are pulled deeper into an affair, but Melissa is hiding, hoping to escape her cruel maker.

It doesn't take long before the shifters uncover her secret. Still, Derek is determined to confront the Old One and reclaim her mortality—even at the risk of losing his.

One Immortal is my first book by Author Tia Louise, and I'm happy to say I've stumbled upon a new treasure gem. A fast read it might be, but it is also a wonderfully atmospheric tale about the power of love, friendship and hope.... with the right amout of scary, which makes it the perfect Halloween read.

Louise's writing style is amazing: it only takes the first few lines for you to 'see' her characters, the scenes and the settings so clearly in your mind that you feel you have become part of that world. Her attention to detail in her descriptions appeals to all of the senses and it enriches an already great read; New Orleans becomes a character in its own right in this story, as do all the places these characters live in, as well as Cajun cuisine and subculture. Besides, the use of the alternate POV structurre doesn't prevent your reading from flowing seamlessly and it actually gives personal perspective and additional informations to the plot's events.

Despite their paranormal 'gifts', all the characters in the book are totally believable. Derek and Melissa, their friends, both shifters, mind readers, witches and voo-doo queens, make the most lovable bunch I've met so far in my literary world. Even the villains' badness is remarkable. How so, you may ask and my answer would be because the whirlwind of emotions and feelings they have to deal with in the brief span of time their story stretches over is all too human. Because of the characters' particular nature, Love and Hope, Friendship and Loyalty are severely put to the test but they come out victorious in all their glory.

I truly enjoyed One Immortal, it ticked all my right boxes (hot ex Marine turned PI, turned vamp-hunter; paranormal environment, white-hot, meaningful sex scenes, great secondary characters, the mysteries of voo-doo lore, unexpected plot twist) and left me with a huge grin on my face. In the first part of the book, the idea of a 'reluctant' vampire is totally refreshing. But then, in order to find a resolution to all of Derek and Melissa's problems, the story reverts to more conventional tracks and allows for a little dejà vu, a rerun of the Twilight movie. Truth be told, that is only to be expected, since vamp genre has been known for quite a long time, and it gives very little room to variations on the theme now.

The bad guys are destroyed eventually and Derek and Melissa find their own HEA. I believe that is not the end of their story, though... will an antidote to vampire venom ever be found? That is the lingering question we are left with, and I do hope there will be a sequel soon. Sooner.

Excerpt

ONE IMMORTAL

(A paranormal retelling of the Derek & Melissa story)

Melissa

Derek’s eyes are on my mouth. I’m breathing so fast, I can see my chest rising and falling as he slams my body against the wall. Pinned again, he looks hard into my eyes before claiming me roughly, forcing my lips apart, and finding my tongue.

A little noise squeaks from my throat. I don’t know why he’s treating me so roughly. I grasp his shoulders, following his movements with mine, hearing his heart beating faster like mine. His blood heats in my veins and moisture pools between my legs. Even frightening and angry, I want him so much.

Without speaking, he takes my hand and leads me to the bed. He lifts my wet dress over my head and steps to drop it in the empty tub, pausing a moment to quickly discard his own wet shirt and jeans. I watch him mesmerized as he takes an oversized towel off the ledge and returns to me. He’s gloriously nude, the low light deepening the lines on his chest and stomach, his enormous cock fully erect.

Touching my hair with the towel, he gives it a few squeezes then spreads it on the bed behind me. Anger mixed with desire is in his eyes. He lifts me and pushes me onto my back then grips my thighs, shoving them open. Immediately, he begins to kiss and lick my center. His soft lips and velvet tongue move slowly over my clit as his beard scrapes the delicate skin of my legs.

“Derek!” My cries join the low growl coming from his throat as heat rockets through my pelvis down to the arches of my feet. Adrenaline is so high in my veins I start to come.

“Oh, god!” The tingling sensation spreads over my gums.

My mouth! He has me trapped on my back against the mattress, his strong arms looped around my legs, large hands holding my hips.

“Derek!” I pull his hair, trying to twist away, to turn my body so he can’t see me, but I’m trapped.

He lets out another low growl, the vibration right against my clit, and he gives me a sharp suck. It’s too late. The muscles in my core tighten irresistibly in response to him. His blood in my veins magnifies everything about him, making him a drug to me. My back arches involuntarily as my teeth shoot out.

“Aaaah!” I let out a long wail, my eyes squeeze shut, and I come hard and shuddering on his mouth, unable to stop the ecstasy.

He doesn’t waste a moment. He’s up and plunging deep between my thighs just as fast, not waiting to see what I’ve become. Both of my wrists are clasped firmly over my head in his iron grasp as he surges on, harder, deeper, groaning as his rocks into me again and again. The friction of him stretching and filling me shudders my body with pleasure. His eyes are closed as he makes his final thrusts again and again as his orgasm reaches its crest.

“Melissa,” he groans low as he comes, pulsing in me, holding me down.

I’m trapped beneath him, tears filling my eyes, uncertain what all of this means or what happens now. He saw what I am, but he didn’t pull away. He held me, watching me writhe in desire and agony, as if he knew what would happen.

Oh, god. A wave of dread tightens my stomach at the thought. He knew what would happen. He knows what I am.

His head drops onto his forearm, but he’s still inside me. I wait until he finally lifts it, again. His eyes linger on my mouth a few desperate moments before he looks straight into my eyes.

He’s so beautifully mouth-watering. Sweat mingles with the rain on his cheek, and a little drop runs into his beard. I know my eyes darken at the sight of him. A whimper escapes my chest as the irresistible hunger burns in my throat.

His brow lowers. “You want to bite me?”
