Waiting on Wednesday: Darkness Falls

Waiting on Wednesday idea from Jill at Breaking the Spine

Darkeness Falls (Immortal Beloved #2) by Cate Tierman
Published by: Little Brown Books
Release date: September 5, 2011

Nastasya has lived for hundreds of years, but for some reason, life never seems to get any better. She left her spoiled, rich girl life to find peace at River's Edge, a safe haven for wayward immortals. There, she learned to embrace River's Edge, despite some drama involving the sexy Reyn, who she wants but won't allow herself to have. But just as she's getting comfortable, her family's ties to dark magick force her to leave.

She falls back into her old, hard partying ways, but will her decision lead her into the hands of a dark immortal? Or will it be her first step to embracing the darkness within her?

Why I want to read it: I have heard and read a lot of comments about Immortal Beloved, the first book in the series.  It seems people had extreme reactions to this novel, either loved it or hate it.  I am among the group that loved it.  Yes, I know it was long, very descriptive and you would think that after living for so long Reyn would have better sense and be more mature, but I still loved the concept of being immortal.  I hope this book is as good (or better) than the first!
