TBR Tuesday: Immortal Beloved

Most of us have books we've bought with all intentions of reading (or maybe just because it was cheap!), only to have them fade away on a shelf or disappear into a stack of books, never to be seen or thought of again.
TBR Tuesday is a way to talk about the books we own but haven't read, see what other people think about them, and help us decide whether to bump it up our list or knock it off completely.
[If you're more a book borrower than a book buyer, you're still welcome to participate with the books that you've been meaning to read and haven't!]

On my TBR


Immortal Beloved by Cate Tiernan
Fantasy, 407 pages
September 7th 2010 by Little, Brown Books for Young Readers


Nastasya has spent the last century living as a spoiled, drugged-out party girl. She feels nothing and cares for no one. But when she witnesses her best friend, a Dark Immortal, torture a human, she realizes something's got to change. She seeks refuge at a rehab for wayward immortals, where she meets the gorgeous, undeniably sexy Reyn, who seems inexplicably linked to her past.
Nastasya finally begins to deal with life, and even feels safe--until the night she learns that someone wants her dead.

Cate Tiernan, author of the popular Sweep series, returns with an engaging story of a timeless struggle and inescapable romance, the first book in a stunning new fantasy trilogy.


I can't quite remember where I got this - I think it might have been one of the many ALA ARCs.  Regardless, I remember being excited because it had the same title as this movie about Beethoven that I love, but beyond that I didn't know much about it, and it kind of slid to the bottom of the stack.  Now, I'm realizing it's by the same author as the popular Sweep series, which one of my favorite booksellers has tried to push on me numerous times... And I'm pretty sure I saw a good review of this from someone I trust, though I can't remember who. (Allison?  Was it you?)  So yeah, maybe I need to reevaluate and get around to picking this one up.
Anywho, if you've read this, let me know what you think!


Side note: I am not loving this cover.  This one, however...
I could be convinced. ;)
