**Review for *Immortal Passions* (The Passions Series #2) by Nomi Palmer**

Nomi Palmer's *Immortal Passions* is an intoxicating blend of supernatural intrigue, forbidden love, and high-stakes drama, all set against the cozy backdrop of the mining town of Tourmaline. As the second installment in *The Passions Series*, it builds on the foundation laid in *Intense Feelings*, continuing the saga of interwoven destinies and divine machinations. If you loved the first book, *Immortal Passions* is a must-read, as it delves deeper into the lives of the town's inhabitants, and the supernatural forces that disrupt their fragile peace.

The story kicks off with an angel falling from The Light, triggering an unexpected chain of events that shakes the quiet town. From there, Palmer weaves a complex tapestry of interconnected characters, each with their own secrets, desires, and struggles. The narrative unfolds through multiple points of view, offering insight into the minds of a seer without sight, tortured vampires bound in unrequited love, a young man with devastating and uncontrollable powers, and a vampire hunter seeking revenge. At the heart of it all is a fallen angel, whose sin is a mystery, yet whose arrival promises to unravel more than just the lives of those in Tourmaline.

Palmer masterfully balances the sublime with the ridiculous in this highly dramatic, high-camp, and often campy love letter to soap operas. The multiple plotlines are a mix of the divine and the mundane, with tragic romances, tangled alliances, and a mystery that spans across time itself. But amidst all the chaos, the universe seems to be guiding its characters towards an endgame that could either bring cosmic balance or push the world into utter chaos. It's this sense of fate, or perhaps manipulation by unseen forces, that gives the book its emotional tension and allure.

One of the standout aspects of *Immortal Passions* is Palmer's ability to maintain a sense of humor while still crafting deeply emotional and engaging storylines. The characters, whether they're dealing with ancient vendettas, deep love, or cosmic revelations, are always grounded in personal motivations that make their actions feel believable, even as the narrative swirls into the fantastical.

The romance in *Immortal Passions* is intense and poignant, with the forbidden love between characters often acting as the emotional anchor of the book. The relationships are complicated, messy, and sometimes tragic, but always engaging. Palmer excels in creating characters that feel real, even as they are caught in situations that are anything but.

For fans of the series, *Immortal Passions* is a brilliant continuation of the saga. It expands on the world introduced in the first book, offering more intrigue, more passion, and even greater stakes. It’s a love story wrapped in supernatural mystery, with a healthy dose of humor and a touch of melodrama that only adds to its charm.

However, for new readers, I recommend reading *Intense Feelings* first, as the events of the previous book set the stage for the revelations and conflicts that play out in *Immortal Passions*. While it can stand alone, you’ll get more out of the experience if you follow the series in order.

In conclusion, *Immortal Passions* is an engaging, high-drama supernatural romance that keeps you hooked from beginning to end. Palmer’s writing is witty and clever, and the story’s mix of romance, mystery, and cosmic intrigue ensures that readers will be eagerly awaiting the next installment in *The Passions Series*.

✨️Fated Mates
✨️Friends To Lovers
✨️Family Drama
✨️Soap Opera
✨️Witches and Vampires
✨️Demons and Angels

The first book was so "Intense" that I didn't think Nomi could make things more dramatic, in a good way, in Tourmaline. But if you add kids to the mix 26 years later, Immortal Passions gives you everything you need in a great soap opera.
With multiple POVs and a long list of characters, many love interests, and plenty of subplots, you don't get bored reading this book. Not to mention all the paranormal things going on! Like, what is up with the green meteor?? And the ending, what a cliffhanger!

I loved the introduction of fallen angels and getting a closer look at the vampire/demon scene in Tourmaline. I'm really looking forward to the rest of this series and all the new creatures and monsters we will get to meet.

Alpha /Beta/ ARC Reader Review: (so honored to say that)

This series - Dramatic. Campy. Elaborate. & the most intriguing story line you’ll ever read.

From start to finish, each chapter is designed like episodes of a drama aired on Tv with long chapters, multiple POVs, and deeply woven plot elements.

BUT - it never becomes complex or confusing. Everything connects just perfectly like a spiderweb where answers develop as problems arise. Dont let your aversions stop you from trying this series.

This is my perfect 5 star read. I can picture every character exactly as described, each scene makes perfect sense, and I have no notes on anything.

It’s addictive. You’ll read this almost 600 page NOVEL in a day - you won’t be able to put it down.

& get ready for book 3 - COMING SOON!

After reading the first book, I knew I couldn't wait to read this one. Immortal Passions is the perfect paranormal soap opera, I just couldn't put it down! I love having so many points of views, and learning more about the characters than the first book!

🔮Book Review🔮

Thank you to Netgalley and Nomi Palmer for an arc in exchange for my honest opinion.

Publication: Out now!

Rating: I really liked it!

Naomi’s writing style is addictive and definitely keeps you in the story. I did have a little harder of a time connecting to certain characters but I will have to say that my favorites were Xander/Kamiko and Bonnie/Dakota. Overall, a bingeable “junk food” read especially if you’re a fan of soap operas.

For fans of:
🔮Third person POV
🪬Multiple POVs
🔮Book 2
🪬Soap opera
🔮Paranormal
🪬Gods, witches, vampires
🔮Fallen angel, demons
🪬Fated mates
🔮LGBTQIA+ rep
🪬Long chapters broken up

What a mixture of people, fantasy creatures and gods! Takes a bit for your brain to get around all the characters and creatures but well worth the effort. Plenty of heat, of all types. Bring on the next installment!

I absolutely loved this book for the first page I was hooked and I couldn’t put it down there was a lot going off so it was alittle hard to keep up but it was worth it because of the twists and turns it kept me engaged the whole way through

Thank you to NetGalley and the author for the ARC

This is the second book in the series and it's just as good as the first one! This is a fun and easy book. It had lots of fun moments and great cast of characters. You're sure to have a good time reading this novel.

I really like this series it has the action but yet comedic relief. This author always is an interesting read and this book was no exception. I would highly recommend reading the first book before this one so everything connects and little background is needed.

Book Review: Immortal Passions (The Passions Series #2) by Nomi Palmer

Immortal Passions by Nomi Palmer is a whirlwind of supernatural drama, romance, and suspense, set in the enchanting town of Tourmaline. As the second installment in The Passions Series, the novel picks up where Intense Feelings left off, continuing the saga with even more mystery and magic. This book is steeped in melodrama, offering a delightful blend of the sublime and the absurd, with plenty of secrets, forbidden love, and supernatural intrigue to keep readers hooked.

The story centers around a rich tapestry of characters—each with their own tangled fate. At the heart of the conflict is a fallen angel whose descent from The Light sets off a chain reaction. Tourmaline, a seemingly peaceful town with a past of chaos, becomes the convergence point for seers, vampires, hunters, and humans, all grappling with their own destinies. One of the standouts is the “seer without sight,” a fascinating paradoxical figure whose visions shape the narrative’s sense of cosmic determinism. The vampire characters, locked in unrequited love and plagued by deep emotional conflicts, add a layer of romantic tension and complexity. These elements, combined with the presence of a vengeful vampire hunter and a young man struggling to control immense powers, create a volatile yet captivating atmosphere.

Palmer's world-building is one of the novel’s strengths, drawing readers into a setting that feels both familiar and fantastical. Tourmaline's mountainous backdrop is the perfect stage for the clash of supernatural beings and human frailty. The novel balances its high-stakes drama with a campy, almost soap-operatic tone, reveling in the ridiculous while still managing to explore deeper emotional truths about love, fate, and the choices we make.

The plot is tightly wound, with the multiple points of view enhancing the complexity of the narrative. Palmer deftly shifts between characters’ perspectives, allowing readers to see events through different emotional lenses and deepening our understanding of their motivations. The twists and turns are numerous, keeping readers on edge as alliances shift, betrayals unfold, and secrets come to light.

One of the most compelling aspects of Immortal Passions is its exploration of destiny versus free will. While many of the characters are caught in what feels like preordained cycles, there is an undercurrent of rebellion against fate—whether it's the fallen angel’s unknown sin, or the younger generation trying to break free from the legacies left by their ancestors. This tension between fate and choice adds philosophical depth to what could have been a purely romantic, fantastical romp.

As a sequel, Immortal Passions delivers on the promise of Intense Feelings, but it is very much a continuation of that story rather than a standalone read. Palmer wastes no time recapping events, so it's crucial for new readers to begin with the first book to fully appreciate the evolving relationships and plotlines. Fortunately, Intense Feelings is easily accessible, and reading the two books back-to-back is likely the best way to immerse oneself in the drama and magic of the series.

In conclusion, Immortal Passions is a fun, dramatic, and thoroughly entertaining sequel that will appeal to fans of romance and supernatural fiction. It’s a love letter to soap operas, saturated with camp, yet earnest in its emotional exploration of love, loss, and the eternal struggle for control over one’s destiny. Nomi Palmer has crafted a supernatural saga with heart, humor, and enough twists to leave readers eagerly awaiting the next book in The Passions Series.

This is a direct sequel to Intense Feelings so definitely don't try to read this one as a standalone! It is a very strong sequel with everything you loved about the first book while continuing the storyline. The forbidden love and the drama kept me turning the pages to the point I read this in one sitting!

This was a strong sequel in the Passions series, it had that concept that I was hoping for and enjoyed getting to read this entry. The concept worked well together and enjoyed how it continued the story that I was looking for. Nomi Palmer wrote this perfectly and was everything that I was expecting.
