Are you a fan of Jane Eyre and/or Dracula? Have you ever wondered if Bertha Mason or Lucy
Westenra could have had a different fate?
If so, Reluctant Immortals is the book for you.
Lucy and Bee (Bertha) are immortal and have survived and
are currently living in 1960s Hollywood. They have their daily routines living
their undead lives, but when Dracula and Mr. Rochester appear back on the scene,
how will Lucy and Bee deal with these terrible men from their past who just won’t
leave them alone?
Reluctant Immortals is a hard book to
characterize. I don’t want to give too
much away as I thought it was a crazy, fun, and unique ride for a book. I loved Lucy and her strength. She was a
great narrator for this book. I also loved how the ladies took control of their
own narratives. It all perfectly seemed
to fit into the psychedelic world of the 1960s and the summer of love in
particular. This book had a one-of-a-kind
story line and fantastic characters. I
enjoyed it.
