Immortal Nights: Book Twenty-Four (ARGENEAU VAMPIRE)

Product Information

the Grand Night is helter than a thousand months. The Angels and the Spirit descend therein by the permission of their Lord for (decreeing) every affair. Peace! it is till the breaking of the dawn."(Holy Quran, 97:3, 97:4, 97:5) He then purged that pinnacle of monotheism, the Holy Kaaba, of the filth of idols with Imam Ali (‘a) personally dismantling the deities atop the holy house. Bilal the Abyssinian then called the faithful to prayer. Abigail, is like many of the protagonists in that she doesn't really have many ties, thus making it easier for her to simply run off with her immortal lover. The one tie she does have have is her childhood friend Jet who she promptly forgets about the moment she lays eyes on Tomasso Notte. In my book, this makes her an awful person. For all she knew, Jet could have been taken prisoner. He could have been being abused and violated or even murdered but she was too busy getting it on with Tomasso to think about her BFF from childhood. Surely We revealed it on a blessed night. Indeed We are ever warning. Therein every wise affair is made distinct. A command from Us, surely We are the senders. (Holy Qur’an, 44:3, 44:4, 44:5 ) I have to say that the story is predictable and formulaic with the exception of the mysterious Dr Dressler who is intent in capturing the immortals so that he can experiment on them (and perhaps find out their secret to immortality). But that's the thing - if you have been following the series like i do then you would probably diligently still read the books even when the stories are no longer like what it used to be (the stories used to have a fair amount of humour and uniqueness for each of the immortal characters but for the past 10 books or so the humour is no longer there and the stories have become a mere vehicle for something like a series "finale"). There was a point when the series was downright blah but with these two books on the twins the story is heading to a new direction with the addition of a real villain that adds to the long lost intrigue to the series.

So, Lynsay Sands totally amazes me. Twenty four books into the Argeneau series but, she always comes up with a new storyline and characters that are fun and exciting. She mixes the old with the new, always makes me laugh and definitely has me looking for a life mate. Eunseol, who had wandered the battlefield living as a juvenile soldier, sets foot in the family as the daughter-in-law of Baek Empire's Imperial General, Ki Haewoon. No one expected to learn the truth that Baekwoon, the eldest son of Haewoon, has already become married. In addition, Haewoon declares that he will make her unborn child, who also doesn't exist yet, as the successor. And on a bright moonlit night, he came to visit her place!En fin, una novela que no puedes saltarte si disfrutas con esta saga o si te apetece pasar el rato con una novela divertida y un poco disparatada. The Qur'an and hadith bear witness to his pristine purity enjoining Muslims to love and tread the radiant path of the Prophet's illustrious progeny. Being forced to abdicate the caliphate a few months after his father Imam Ali's martrydom, Imam Hassan (‘a) spent the rest of his life in Medina propagating and expounding Islam and the Holy Qur'an. man’s life, because the world sprang from darkness, she might be called a boundary to the universe, and of course, she demarcates a man’s day. Agamemnon cries out to Zeus, "Let not the sun go down and disappear into darkness until I have hurled headlong the castle of Priam blazing..." (II, 413) He feels he must accomplish his objective in one day. That daily sense of urgency is carried over into the Greek concept of a lifespan. The mortal’s time on earth is short; he must achieve as much glory as possible within that time if he is to be remembered after death. That urgency, combined with a newfound sense of the futility of man’s efforts when the end is inevitable, drives Achilles mad. In his great speech to the convoy sent to him by Agamemnon, he betrays his frustration with the confinement he now sees in an attitude he once unquestioningly accepted.

I also am glad that it seems like you got a little bit more information about what is going on with the missing people. I'm really enjoying this substory in the series. It takes a long series and rejuvenates it. You know the Immortals are being kidnapped and experimented on but you never learn why. What does the Big Bad guy want? Jet shows up, having spent the last week desperately searching for Abigail like a real hero and gets kind of pissed that Abigail is happily loving it up with Tomasso in a luxury resort as if she hasn’t given Jet a second thought. Then Abigail makes him feel super guilty for thinking that since she almost died of the Dengue fever, even though she totally DID forget Jet for most of the book and had been berating herself for doing so. Let us now review the days of joy in this blessed month. On 15th Ramadhan, in the second year of the Hijra, the Prophet became a grandfather, when son Hassan (‘a) was born to his daughter Fatima and Imam Ali (a). It was a very happy occasion for the Ahl-ul-Bait and none was happier than Prophet Muhammad (s).As I mentioned above, I really enjoy this author. I've kept up with her historicals and usually her paranormals too. For me, Sands is a comfort read. One of those authors that can start reading and get right into the story. I love that about her. kinsmen "much lamenting, as if he went to his death," (XXIV, 328) journeys through the darkness to the Greek camp to negotiate with Achilles. Hermes, who also escorts souls to the Underworld, descends to escort the Trojan king, but not without first questioning his audacity. "Where... are you thus guiding your mules and horses through the immortal night while the other mortals are sleeping?" (XXXIV, 363-364) Like Achilles, Priam dares fate. His challenge to the destiny of his "ill-starred son" is mirrored in his challenge to Night. He braves even death, the boundary which Night represents, by going through his own metaphorical death and descent into Hades. He refuses to passively accept his circumstances. He will not be confined to day, just as Achilles realizes that he cannot be confined to conventions, he must act as he sees fit. Ustedes dicen es una broma , Irina . ¿porque estas tan cabreada? bueno porque estan ellos dos solos en la isla . DIGAMOS que Tomás no es " inmortal" es un chico cualquiera. ¿y si le daba una fiebre y se morian los dos perdidos ahi? luego ocurre al revés , que la protagonista le da dengue ( a ella también le picaron moscos en vez de preocuparse de joderlo debio haber pensando en el dengue )

Immortal Nights although a bit silly and has too much fluff in the plot at times....was a fun and entertaining story with a bit of adventure and sensuality to curl your toes!!! In the beginning Lynsay (I feel we're on a first name basis since I've been reading her vampire romances since they first came out) wrote some cute and delightful romances that involved vampires and would make me laugh out loud. I couldn't eat or drink while reading them because I knew - just KNEW - at some point I would laugh until a pig snort came out. Then she left that part of the series and went towards the vampire enforcers. Now suddenly they have a cookie cutter plot and books are churned out every 6 months or so. Take this book for example. I liked the introduction of Jet. He seems like he will be an interesting character and a good way to add in another connection to the non Argeneau clan, when he meets his life mate. I wonder who that will be?I enjoyed it and actually got through it in 2 days... so it didn't drag but there was nothing new either. Oh, and she leaves us with a cliffhanger epilogue that really is the over arc of chasing the "new" bad guy. Not nice to try to reel us in and really it doesn't do it as you really don't care for the ho hum bad guy plot. So just good, not one of her better ones. En esta ocasion no se si el hecho de ir con pocas expectativas ayudo a que la lectura me gustara mas o si fue simplemente que era el momento ideal para leer este estilo de libro, fuera lo que fuera, la historia me resulto entretenida, amena y graciosa, puede que la trama de misterio ( con todo el asunto de los secuestros ) no avance demasiado en esta parte pero yo sinceramente no lo extrañe, me gusto que todo se centrara en la relacion de Abi y Tomasso.
