Love Immortal

By: Kit Vincent

Narrated by: James Fouhey

For fans of vampires, romantic fantasy, and dark academia.

Jonathan Evergreen is a talented sophomore at a prestigious, isolated college in Vermont, who dreams of a career in book conservation. But Jonathan’s life isn’t as rosy as it may appear. Disowned by his family after they caught him with another boy, he struggles to overcome heartbreak and support himself through his studies. To make matters worse, his advisor and the only ally in the institution run by old money and family connections mysteriously vanishes, and a new enigmatic professor, Dacian Bathory, takes his place.

Even though Jonathan is instantly drawn to Dacian, feeling a deep, intense connection between them, Dacian’s hot and cold behavior leaves him puzzled. But things change when Dacian unexpectedly helps him secure a job at the college’s Rare Books library from which an antique book recently went missing—a book that Dacian seems to have a deep interest in.

As their attraction grows, sinister events start to unfold around campus: people disappearing in the dead of night, a group of legacies showing signs of increasingly disturbing behavior, and a dead body washing up nearby, completely drained of blood. Plagued by unsettling dreams that feel too close to reality, Jonathan suspects that some of these events might be connected to Dacian.

With the stakes escalating and his own life on the line, can Jonathan unravel the truth about Dacian and confront the darkness before it consumes them both?

I hope there's a book 2!

I thoroughly enjoyed "Love Immortal" by Kit Vincent. I've never heard of the author before, so this was a pleasant discovery.

Jonathan has had some tough luck. In fact, readers / listeners should pay attention to the TWs in the beginning. That said, Jonathan is a survivor and plows full-steam ahead on his self-guided if unusual career path.

Dacian is brooding, elegant and Jonathan's professor of Gothic romance. He has secrets that span centuries. Enter: a budding romance set among Gothic horror and homophobia.

I'd like to interject a shout out to the narrator who gave Dacian the most cultured, erotic and sometimes terrifying voice imaginable. Wow! He voiced the other characters well, but his Dacian was spot-on!

This is a modern sort-of retelling of Stoker's "Dracula," but not quite. While I enjoy this version of what might have happened, the story dragged in places but the main purpose was finished with little fanfare. I think better editing may have helped. It was entertaining, especially listening to Dacian's voice, and I'm hoping for a book 2. Recommended!

A retelling of Dracula

This is my first book by Kit Vincent. I loved that it was set in the 1980's, a time lived through. The description of grief was so vivid to me. While this is a love story the grief process both Dacien and Jonathan go through is a large part of the story. I loved how much of the myths of Dracula are included.
the narrator of this book had the perfect voice. sounded so much like how I imagined everyone sounded like
