No Such Thing as Immortality Sarah Tranter 9781906931803 Books

I did not know this would be part of a series until I reached the quite abrupt ending, which left several major issues unresolved. Until then the plot and dialogue were witty and enchanting enough to maintain interest. I'm not sure I will continue to read this series if each book ends so unsatisfactorily. I have read many series, but at least they resolved the issue at hand within the single book, while pursuing other elements later.

No Such Thing as Immortality Sarah Tranter 9781906931803 Books Reviews

This is only the third modern "vampire" novel I have read recently and so I don't know if it is now a common trend with the genre to not be too serious, to write quite humorously and to see things from the vampire's point of view. I do like this kind of approach but the other novel I've read like this (Vampire State of Mind by J Lovering Vampire State of Mind) was far superior to this.
I did enjoy the way the vampire's could read each other's minds (though this was a little confusing in the first scene - I at first thought James and Nate were just conversing through phone headsets!). Some of the humour and dialogue was entertaining e.g. in chapter 4 when James and Nate are talking about sexual relations. I also liked it when Nate turned full vampire and scared away Rowan's ex - I would have preferred to see more of the scary, assertive side of him as, despite his own worry towards the end that Rowan is scared to death of him, I think Nate does come across as way too highly strung, self-deprecating and over-emotional. I know that he is feeling Rowan's feelings vicariously but, after supposedly being so cold and frigid for hundreds of years, would he be so ebullient? I actually found it odd that Rowan was only frightened of him when she discovered what he was! In reality, she would have surely run a mile from him ages before that because of how scarily intense and controlling he was towards her. He had really started to get on my nerves by the end of the book.
I also found it odd/unrealistic that her reaction to him being a vampire was mainly shock and fear (disbelief was secondary). Surely, disbelief would have been the primary reaction and you would just laugh this off at first.
I was disappointed with the ending as it was very abrupt and, after all the emotion, we didn't even get a proper love scene!
There was also way way too many loose ends and things that were not explained satisfactorily. There are too many to list them all but here are a few
Why did Nate have the accident at the beginning?
What type of creature is Simon Frey?
What type of creature is Heather?
Is Rowan really adopted and is she really human?
What really happened to Rowan's parents?
We do get a small glimpse into Nate's past but there is not much detail and I think this would have been better at the beginning as a prologue.
I did carry on reading the book and did enjoy reading it. However, it would have been a lot better if as much attention had been paid to the plot as to the dialogue. Maybe you need to read the next book to tie up all the loose ends but I prefer a book in a serial to be able to stand on its own and this one cannot.
"First of all I have to confess I am not a 'fan' of vampire romances. I've never quite been able to understand the attraction of a blood-sucking member of the 'undead'. However, Nate's words 'I will protect you until the day I die...forever.' were enough to make me curious to read this novel - and I am so glad I did.

Nathanial Gray, ‘Nate', may be a vampire, but he and his little family group have sworn off feeding on human blood and instead live off the blood of animals - and blood pudding! If that last sounds a little humorous, there is a lot of humour in this story, as well as angst, passion, anger and deep sorrow. The incident where Rowan's parked car, 'modified' by Nate without her knowledge, is hit by a double decker bus with disastrous results - for the bus, had me laughing out loud! There were also times when I felt Nate’s passion and his pain and I could not help but empathise with him.

From the moment Nate accidentally rams into Rowan's car he is smitten by her, and his amazing and disturbing connection to her results in him feeling her emotions as well as his own. It takes a while for Rowan to return his feelings and the path of their romance is far from easy, with a previous lover and a mysterious and sinister figure, Simeon Frey, added to the mix and attempting to keep the two apart. Their relationship is also further complicated by the fact Nate longs to tell her what he is, but is afraid that if he does, he will lose her for ever. Rowan also has some secrets in her past, and her Aunt Hetty in particular causes much speculation and concern to the vampires. There is something distinctly unusual about her and in addition, there is the question of the death of Rown’s parents , when she and her sister were children, which now appears to have been murder.

Nate has all the charm of Mr Darcy, but is more sensitive and vulnerable. The anguish and fear he feels when his beloved Rowan is in danger comes across the pages as both mental and physical. He is also a perfect gentleman with the type of courtesy that is unfortunately all too rare these days. I am an old fashioned romantic, and a male who opens doors, carries the heroine up the stairs to avoid further injury to her foot, and sends her white roses, certainly has the ability to melt my heart. Sarah Tranter has a fantastic ‘voice’ and the scenes were written so vividly I felt I was there, experiencing it all with Nathan, Rowan and the great cast of supporting characters. I love first person narrative and Ms Tranter manages to pull off the male POV very convincingly.

Both Nate and Rowan are very strong characters. Nate, despite his gallantry has a fierce temper when provoked, and makes a formidable adversary. Rowan is feisty and independent , but where Nate is concerned her softer side shows through.

The story is fast paced and kept me turning the pages to find out what happened next, while at the same time I didn't want it to end. The climax is real edge-of-the seat stuff and although the ending was wonderfully satisfying, it left me with several questions, and yearning for more. I can't wait for the next book in the series."
I was provided with a copy of No Such Thing as Immortality by Sarah Tranter in exchange for an honest review.

No Such Thing as Immortality is a vampire tale. A vampire does not have to feel any emotion not of his choosing. And Nathaniel Gray has spent two hundred years choosing not to feel. But when he accidentally runs Rowan Locke off the road, he is inexplicably flooded with everything she's feeling, and that's rage, and lots of it. He has an uncontrollable need to want to protect her and is consumed with it, even if it means doing it at all costs ... even if it means that he must protect her from himself as well. Blown away by this desire, he is at a loss but he can't control himself.

Although this book is about vampires, it isn't like Twilight or the Sookie Stackhouse books. Yes, there are some similarities but the writing style is completely different and I definitely appreciated that. Sarah does a great job at crafting Rowan and Nathaniel Gray and I really enjoyed their instant chemistry. The two have an undeniable spark and I really liked watching Nathaniel suffer through feelings that he hadn't experienced in such a long time. Overall, this story was very enjoyable, and at times, quite comical.
This was a very interesting story. I enjoyed the characters and the storyline. It was a bit different from other vampire stories. Highly recommended.
I did not know this would be part of a series until I reached the quite abrupt ending, which left several major issues unresolved. Until then the plot and dialogue were witty and enchanting enough to maintain interest. I'm not sure I will continue to read this series if each book ends so unsatisfactorily.
