♥ Recipe ♥

Ingredients:

1 cup of Beauty
1/2 teaspoon stubborn
1/2 cup cold courage
1/4 cup sheer determination

FILLING:
1/3 cup protectiveness
2 teaspoons naughty
1/8 teaspoon talent
½ of romance,
1 teaspoon brilliant blue food coloring
2 tablespoons hot temper beaten down so it’s hardly noticeable
1-1/2 teaspoons authority

GLAZE and the rest:
1/4 cup golden coloring
1 teaspoon of black food coloring
5 teaspoons of water
½ teaspoon of battle scars

Directions

In a small bowl, combine beauty and stubbornness; cut in 1/4 cup courage until crumbly and evenly distributed to last for centuries. Gradually add sheer determination, tossing with a fork. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the raw product. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 hour.
Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, combine protectiveness, naughty and talent. Add sweet romance and a dash of blue coloring; toss to coat. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 5-10 minutes or until the protectiveness permeates the mixture, stirring often. Remove the filling from the heat.
In a small bowl, combine gold food coloring and 4 teaspoon of water. In another small bowl, mix the remaining teaspoon of water with the black food coloring.
Remove the raw product form the fridge. Brush with golden coloring all over.
Spoon the filling into the middle of the raw product, fold over, press and shape until the filling is trapped inside. Place on an ungreased baking sheet. Brush with remaining golden coloring and at the very top, brush with black.
Bake for 9 months.
Results: blue-eyes, black-hair, golden-brown guy.
Sprinkle battle scars

Blurb

Nothing can stop Raine Cooper when she wants something…
Raine finally knows that her gorgeous neighbor, Torin St. James, is a legend straight out of Norse mythology, and that her feelings for him are strong. Torin is crazy about Raine too, breaking the one rule he lives by: Never fall for a mortal. The problem is he no longer remembers her, his memories erased by Norns—Norse destiny deities—to punish her for defying them.

She will make Torin forget his one rule a second time and fall in love with her all over again.
But she quickly learns that well-laid plans do not work when dealing with deities and supernatural beings. Desperate, Raine makes choices that could not only tear her and Torin further apart, but lead to the destruction of everything and everyone she loves.

REVIEW

Un-freaking-believable! Picking up where Runes left off, teasing with a sliver of information here and there. Reading Immortals is not just a journey into Raine's life & head but an escape into a world unknown... A glimpse into one of Ednah's worlds. There were a few times Raine tested me with her thoughts and how she reacted to situations she found herself in. Times when she thought and acted a bit selfish rather than growing into the heroine she is to become. By the end of the story though she was forgiven of all her selfishness.

Here are a few of my updates as I was reading via Goodreads:

08/02	8.0%	"So not fair... Give me a little info and then nada... Must keep reading!"
08/02	17.0%	""My eyes would dilate, my heart would beat harder, and I'd start panting like a cocker spaniel after chasing its tail." - Raine ROFLMSAO"
08/03	32.0%	"So unfair... I am to be up and out the door by 6:15AM and having an obsession with hot Valkyrie is not helping... with their smoking hot sexy.... I am still wide awake reading..."
08/03	47.0%	""Did you just call me chicken?" - Torin All mens weakness... lol"
08/03	60.0%	"Wow what a twist! Take you long enough Torin! I was beginning to take an interest in Andris!"
08/03	78.0%	"Seriously Eirik!!!"
08/03	79.0%	"Raine needs to be smacked upside her darn head. If only I could reach into this amazing story and do it myself! Get it together WOMAN!"
08/04	84.0%	"Whoo hoo Eirik's back - at least he is thinking somewhat straight! And Raine too!"
08/05	91.0%	"Oh crap..."
08/05	92.0%	"SNAP!!! I was not expecting that!!!"
08/05	99.0%	"Holy freaking crows eyes I was so not expecting that ending... now some of it yes but not all!!! WTG Ednah!!! <3"

Raine gets back from her 2 week cruise and she's anticipating her next move with Torin. She is not sure what to do when it comes to Torin and his loss of their memories together. How do you make a man fall in love with you again when he doesn't remember ever meeting you in the first place? Cora has totally gotten over her fear of Raine after the swim meet and she is back to her vlogging, flirting self again. The Norns' are at it again, unwilling to give up on Raine becoming a Norn and relentless down to their ugly no good core. A new trainer has come into Raine's life... Lavania does not know how important Raine's training is at first...she suspects if she was sent to work with her, Raine is not just any mortal in training... Raine cannot quite put her finger on it...something is wrong with Eirik. Where does Raine go from here? Can she continue without Torin's love and affection? What will she do to bring her best friend back from the darkness overshadowing him... Where will her destiny take her now?
