Thomas never thought he would live this long; he expected the usual lifespan of 60 to 70 years. But one terrifying night in 1946 San Francisco has changed all that. He's now been alive 86 years and still looks 20. He and his associates, Jonathan and Kathryn, have been granted Immortality by a group of sylphs belonging to the Zie Council – led by their queen, Malina – who possess an elixir called Enchantment. But what they and the rest of the Immortals have to do in order to keep receiving this elixir involves protecting sylphs and humans from the faeworlders – vampires and shapeshifters – who want nothing more than to eat, violate, and kill them. For Jonathan, Thomas, and Kathryn, policing the fae is a dirty job, but somebody has to do it. And the payment is eternally priceless.

Enchanted Immortals eBook CJ Pinard Reviews
Wow! All I can say is wow! This first book was sure an attention grabber from the beginning. If you like Fairies, Vamps, and Immortals with powers, then this is the book for you.
I love it when an author plainly tells you the past from the present, and C.J. Pinard does this. She doesn't leave you guessing, it is clearly outlined. I love it also that the author didn't get to "wordy" in her descriptions, as I do tend to get bored when they do that.
I fell in love with Thomas and Melina! My heart broke for Thomas' dad, as the story sucked me in till the very end. A great place to end book 1, as there were no lingering questions.
I would totally recommend this book!
If using colloquial isms use correctly. A "whoop" is lik a cheer as in whoop-ti-do or "he gave a whoop of joy". When people find something good they don't "hit payday" they "hit paydirt". It is from the days of gold prospecting. Paydirt wass dirt with gold in it. The time segue from past to present and back was not good. There was not enough difference between the two and it just made the story line choppy.
Enchanted Immortals is a nice and easy read. It's the first book I've read written by C.J. Pinard. It flows smoothly and considering it was one I picked up for free through , it turned out to be 'not too bad'. )
The story circles around the Sylphs, (to be honest, I've never heard of them before) immortals, vampires, shapeshifters and humans but to be truthful, what attracted me to this book initially was the beautiful cover. Although there are no real 'heart pumping' dramatic scenes in the novel, and I'm not keen on stories constantly going back and forth in time, the story is interesting enough to keep you reading. The scene between Thomas and his father in the epilogue ended the story nicely.
I'm assuming there's a follow up of some sort to this book, as I'm interested to see how a sylph and an immortal can make things work romantically.
Would I recommend it? Yes, as long as you're into nice, smooth, easy reads.
Enchanted Immortals is a fun read that I would strongly encourage you to check out.
The story starts out quite slow – a word of warning. It looks like an attempt to do some world-building, but it’s quite a bit of lag. If you can get past the first few chapters, however, the story gets a lot better. You just have to make it through those first bits.
Thomas O’Malley is our protagonist and he’s been tasked with guarding the Sylphs and happens to be immortal as well. This creates a set of circumstances that can make it hard for Thomas and his immediate family – there is a strict ‘no contact’ policy in play that makes things tough for Thomas’ father as well as Thomas himself. Of all of the characters, Thomas is given the most development and there is an excellent story just in Thomas and his interactions with the world. That his father and several other characters happen to share the world, and the page, with him is gravy.
The book is a little tricky to follow – it uses a series of time jumps to follow the story through several time periods. Thomas’ immortality plays a part of this, but it does get confusing occasionally to track the different viewpoints and what is going on in each ‘era.’ Reading it on my made this even more difficult, as the file liked to jump around when I was trying to navigate – the most recent update to it appears to have fixed the problem, but that was after I had read it.
But, back to the characters. As I said, Thomas is the most developed and he is a believable main character. He is interesting – as an immortal, his interactions with the Fae world and the real world are sometimes in conflict. He tries to handle those conflicts as best he can, but he is still ‘human’ which means that he makes mistakes in resolving those conflicts. It makes for a good, authentic read.
The plot is a bit slow – even after the introduction. It’s also a bit predictable – you can see several of the conflicts coming. This is especially true of the conflicts that are coming from the new division of the United States government that has been tasked with investigating and monitoring the Fae. How the author handles those conflicts, however, is what sells the story. CJ Pinard does an excellent job of making the conflicts seem unique and special even when they play to the common tropes. Just because I saw the conflict coming did not mean that I did not want to see how she would write it . Pinard’s sense of conflict is excellent and well developed, making even the common conflicts interesting and suspenseful.
This is clearly a first book – there are a number of conflicts that are too large to settle in one story. A quick check of reveals a series of sequels and a novella about the new government agency that has formed in response to the Fae. That’s not unsurprising – it’s clear the Pinard wants to build on the conflicts established here at the outset by about half-way through the book.
All in all, Enchanted Immortals is a good start to a series with an excellent protagonist. The pacing may need a little work, but it shouldn’t be enough to keep you from checking out the book.

Nothing stands out to me as new and special about this book. Yes there is a different idea about how the immortal cops get their powers, but you'll find, while its well told, it's the same general story about a young man falling into the paranormal world, not allowed to tell his parents (why? It's not that big a deal.) and acting as police to control vampire and shifter baddies. The bouncing between times was unnecessary and confusing a few times. Need some surprises in the plot line.
Ah what an amazing book this way. I decided to random the books on my kindle and it decided on this one and I’m super happy it did.
This story was interesting although I was confused at times with so many different point of views, I got lost on who was who and what part of the story it was on but I quickly caught on and I very much enjoyed this story.
I must admit in the past I haven’t really fancied reading anything supernatural but lately I’ve been loving the especially this one. This has been the first book with immortals in and they’re so intriguing. This storyline was fascinating and I just couldn’t seem to put the book down.
This author is a new author for me, this is the first book I’ve read and I’ll make sure to read more in the future.
