The descriptions were just so vivid that I honestly think they'll be showing up in my dreams soon: I also loved the suspense view spoiler [ like when Amanda is waiting for Mitch to take her to prom I was screaming inside!!! I recommend the book to anyone who read Immortal Sin and if you haven't read it then you should!

Immortal Sin
Trivia About Immortal Descent. No trivia or quizzes yet. Just a moment while we sign you in to your Goodreads account. Things her mind keeps telling her can't be real. Though she does her best to grasp the meanings behind the strange happenings, Amanda isn't quite sure of what's going. Everything seems so surreal. Surely, there's a plausible explanation for it all?
When Mitch reveals himself to Amanda, and begins to show her what her true world is like, she finds herself struggling to make sense of things. There's no way she can be what he says she is. An Immortal Sin, born of two distinct races.
Immortal Descent by Julie Milillo
The thought itself is ludicrous. Tormented by what she doesn't know, Amanda is forced to confront the secrets surrounding her past. Delving into the unknown is difficult, most especially when you don't know what's going on around you. It's harder still when warring factions are determined in claiming what isn't theirs. If she's to succeed in learning all she needs to know about herself, she'll need to do so as fast as possible. The question is, how can she do that when she's not exactly sure as to what she should do in the first place?
A lovely start to this series, Julie has taken all things apocalyptic, and given the lore a very unique twist. We've always heard about the Nephilim, beings born from the union of a fallen angel and a human. But what happens when an angel and a demon mate? Immortal Sin answers that question, and gives us a slew of new questions as to how someone born of that union survives the pain and uncertainty surrounding his or her birth.
I'm definitely looking forward to what comes next for Amanda and the others. When Alexis has a party while her parents are gone, Amanda comes face to face with her fate and her true identity. There is something about her, she is like him but there is something more to her.
When Amanda begins to discover her true identity she finds herself turning to Mitch for answers, the problem is he can only help her with certain aspects of her abilities. I found that the first half of the book was slow, there were more questions than answers. It seemed that the whole time Amanda was just practicing her abilities and questioning what she was.

The end of the book did get more interesting. There are also a few more questions answered, but I still felt like I wanted more from this story. However, I do feel that with the way the book ended it could lead to a very interesting second installment. Jan 30, Crisanto J. Jorda rated it it was ok. Great plot - but lacking polished execution!
Immortal Sin chronicles the journey of young Amanda and her discovery of the mysticism around her. Without delving too deep into spoilers, I really enjoyed the IDEA of the characters, the conspiracies, and the culture of the Milillo's world. There's a lot of intrigue and these characters read like simple, fun-loving young adults in a world enveloped in magic and stuff.
However, the ambitious storytelling is not accomplished. Milillo spends far too much Great plot - but lacking polished execution! Milillo spends far too much time on jumbled prose and exposition that the pace of the story ranges from incredibly slow to jarring halts. Half of the book is spent on characters explaining plots and intentions rather than SHOWING, which insults readers' attention spans and cheapens the mood. There are cool demonstrations of magical power here and there, but their moments are too few and sandwiched between more explaining and more talking.
Act 1 was slow. Act 2 was confusing. And Act 3 was awesome but took far too long and far too much explaining and verbal trudging to get there. I found myself rolling my eyes far too many times for my liking throughout the first pages. There is a lot of potential here. The history of Amanda's world seems very rich and deeply involved but we only catch glimpses of it between the fluffy prose.

I hope Milillo can step her game up because I did enjoy the character dynamics and if good characters meet strong plot and perhaps a wider cast of other interesting characters, I wouldn't be able to put the book down. I received this book from the author for my honest review. This story is about Amanda chaste who lives in New Jersey with her grandmother. You could say her that her grandmother is all she has because she doesn't talk to her mother and has never met her dad. Just like any love story is all starts with a party one without any parents.
Amanda meets Mitch which is a demon, Mitch knows there is something wrong with Amanda by the look in her eyes. Then the story really takes off, I won't talk about wh I received this book from the author for my honest review. Then the story really takes off, I won't talk about what happens in the book because I'm afraid if I do then I would reveal a lot and spoil it for anyone who hasn't read it. I thought this book started kind of slow and I was at some point kind of confused at the same point.
It was like when Amanda had to a of questions and she turned to Mitch but when he didn't know the answers or when his answers where cryptic I was lost. But when there was finally some action and answers I was so excited I couldn't put the book down. The author did a great job with having an amazing plot but needs to work on keeping the reading involved or hooked you could say. I liked the detail the author gave, and also I thought the characters were awesome. Amanda and Mitch are great primary characters. Their story is a good story to tell.
Even the secondary characters; Gregg, nan, and Alexis were stellar. What I didn't like was that it was a cliffhanger and it started out a little slow for me. Amanda is an ordinary teenager until one party. Her world is rocked. Mitch has a list that he needs to complete, but there is just o 4 stars This was can all around great book.
Mitch has a list that he needs to complete, but there is just one name he can't finish. What happens when worlds collide and you can't control it? What can you do when love that is not suppose to connect do? Well let me tell you, its this book. I don't know what I hate more waiting or the mere anticipation for the next book. I just can't wait. I am so glad I was introduced to this author, and will definetly be reading the next book. Immortal Sin by Julie Milillo: This is a story of a young girl Amanda Chaste who lives in New Jersey along with her grandmother.
One stranger she meets disturbs her normal average life that was going on smoothly, in a big way. It is a stor http: It is a story about Amanda's fate based on some secrets, truths and self discoveries. I was surprised how good I thought this book actually was. I do hope that more people read it! The timeline was pretty good, thank goodness. Bad timelines really bother me- I hate when things seem to happen so quickly and such. Now yes, things escalated quickly but it was written well enough that it worked perfectly. I really wasn't sure how I felt about Mitch in the beginning- but I grew to feel a little better about him.
He's not my favorite I mean he is a demon after all! Overall, I think the book was a good young adult novel and am actually a little excited to read the next one!
I received a copy from Netgalley. The blurb for this book sounded right up my alley. A girl discovers hidden powers and secrets and a new world of paranormal beings. I didn't like the main character. I thought the idea behind the story and some of the world building was quite interesting but the plot failed to grab my attention.
Immortal Descent
There's instalove and I felt a lot of tell and not show. Also I received a copy from Netgalley. Also too many typos and grammatical errors for my tastes. So thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for the opportunity to view the title even though this book was not for me. This is a great young adults book. Julie has a great writing style and a firm grasp on how to describe and express in such a way to really get the reader to see what they are reading.
I think these books would translate very well to film. All in all, though it is not entirely the type of book that I prefer, I think it is very well written and a great book for the young adult audience. Oh my god this book was awesome! It was completely amazing and it only took me a day to read it.
