Immortal City (Immortal City #1)
But Jackson's high-profile life takes an unexpected turn when he meets seventeen-year-old Maddy. She's smart and down-to-earth, and sees Jackson for who he is and not for his celebrity. They forge an instant - and electric - connection. Their vastly different backgrounds seem like the only obstacle in their path to being together... until something much more dangerous threatens to destroy their chance at love.
Because not everyone worships the Angels: a bitter killer is murdering the Guardians one by one. And it's up Maddy to save Jackson - he's next in the killer's sights.
Set in a reimagined Los Angeles that sparkles with glamour and celebrity worship, Scott Speer's Immortal City is charged with passion and haunted by themes of power and idoltry.
Also Found On: A Book and A RecordI dont know why, but as I was reading this I got the distinct impression that it was written to that Foster the People song Pumped Up Kicks No joke. Every time Jacks was headed to an event I had the first few chords of that song begin to run through my brain. Anyways, thats not really the point. Immortal City is a good idea. I like the idea, I had high hopes for the idea. Hot super star angel falling for a mortal? Ill take that for a light read! Sure had been
Honestly, I'm kind of embarrassed to admit to having read this. I've read a lot of trash this year, but this book was seriously terrible. I was intrigued by the premise: guardian angels have "come out" to the world, and instead of performing anonymous miracles they now provide paid protection. After the first couple of chapters I also got the impression it was going to be a social commentary on how our culture is obsessed with celebrities.Lol, no. It was trash. Pure and utter trash. Maddy was
"What about him?" Brad asked. "Him?" the Angel asked. "Yeah," Brad said, and pointed to the tailgate as it slipped under the waves. "Him." The Angel looked at the sinking pickup as if seeing it for the first time. "He didn't have coverage," he said. -p. 4, ARCIMMORTAL CITY begins with a scene that worms under your skin. Rich, careless Brad causes a fatal car wreck, but escapes with the aid of an Angel - aid he paid for. The other, innocent driver dies. And, as we find out, no one in Angel City
THIS is an angel-book?! Are you f...... serious?! After this book, I think Unearthly deserves an AWARD because it is so freaking good! This book is a fail. Angels revealed themselves and now they are making money with saving those who can pay them. TV Shows, Reality shows and Twitter posts about angels. Angels are celebrities and they enjoy their wealth and fame. I am fine with authors who differ from usual definitions, but I really don't like authors who turn some of the religious or
I wanted so badly to like this book, I really did have high expectations and perhaps that was part of the problem. Initially the cover is what drew me to Immortal City, just look at it, it's fantastic! The premise was also interesting to me. I was prepared to ignore the fact that the angels presented in the premise were anything but Biblical angels because the idea of it fascinated me so much. Yes, some points of it were terribly, horrendously obvious...like Jackson (Jacks) falling in love with

I have the books... 1-3 because my cousins (they are two) are head over heels about this book. But I'm not a fan... Supply me with something that is a better character not a cutesy one. One thing that is good about this one is the description of the place... I hope that counts???Also Found On: A Book and A RecordI dont know why, but as I was reading this I got the distinct impression that it was written to that Foster the People song Pumped Up Kicks No joke.
