I really enjoyed writing this and reading it. I fell in love with my main characters and the characters that follow. I couldn't wait to share this with everyone. I really hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed writing it.
*********
AND I do NOT think it is anything like twilight. Sorry for those who think its similar it was written prior to twilight just wasn't release until after. The only similarity is that it has werewolves and vampires. BUT it also has witches, demons, angels seers, ghosts -- pretty much all and any paranormal creature. so its very different.

Immortal Island #1, Spellbound by S. L. Ross will draw you in slowly as college student, Sarah Daniels is dreading her commitment to her parents to return to their island home and cat sit while they are away in Zurich. There is just something creepy about her parents’ big old house, although beautiful, Sarah knows there is “just something” that totally creeps her out about being there, is it the shadowy figures? The objects that seem to move themselves, only to be found in the weirdest places later? Too bad these problems are soon to become minor issues in the Sarah’s life when she gets sucked into the middle of a world she never knew existed where her very human self is a threat to the immortal paranormal world!
Sarah’s world is taking a turn for the “weird” when she realizes she is having visions and the people in those visions start showing up in her life! Enter one hot vision, Chase, whose touch is electrifying, whose looks are to die for and we have instant chemistry and a feeling of having known him before! Meanwhile, Jeff, Sarah’s equally hot ex-boyfriend with the controlling mother and lack of self-control still wants Sarah, even though their breakup was four years prior. Let’s not forget the creepy house, and the island it’s on! What is it about its inhabitants? Poor Sarah, confused is hardly adequate to describe how she feels, as she learns about what Chase is, who she is, what Jeff is! Not only does she have feelings for both men, but now her parents are missing, and her life is in danger as she is thrown headlong into the world of supernaturals! Who is she really???? What is her role in the immortal world? Who is right for her, Chase or Jeff? Where are her parents? For that matter, where is that stupid cat?
S. L. Ross took her time building the world in which Sarah finds herself, filled it with rich detail and gut-knotting twists and surprises at every corner! Sarah’s mental acrobatics as she narrates the story from her POV adds to the tension perfectly! I swear I was there with her, (okay, so maybe sometimes I “wish” I was there with her)! Each character was given a well-defined personality and role to play with just enough mystery and intrigue to keep me guessing as their lives were peeled apart, layer by layer and their secrets unfold! The dialogue was playing in my mind in realtime, I swear I was really “hearing” what was said, complete with the emotional inflections. Nice job, Ms. Ross! Now you have ME hearing things!
Be warned, hang on tight at the end so you don’t go over the edge of this HUGE cliffhanger! Talk about a great draw into NEEDING book two! 4.5 Stars!

good story line- not 1 boring part, constantly something going on which I liked. she made a love triangle with 2 male characters who seemed equally as sexy and loving which leaves u as confused as poor old sarah lol. (although I think I am on team chase) I liked the general idea of this story.
However I am regretful in only voting 3 stars because the actual writing style was very obvious as to this being a new author. she needs an editor desperately- it was too choppy, paragraphs were too short, it jumped from 1 thing to the nxt without notice, grammar was off leaving me feeling like I was reading it at 100 miles per hour. also it was it was absent of more realistic aspects such as... lets see- um her parents disappearance not seeming to be a major issue. Id av felt like I was in some sort of twilight zone if all that shit was happening and the police hadn't made too much of an effort in their help. I guess that's small, creepy towns for ya.
I will be reading the nxt one because she has left us with the sort of cliffhanger that felt like the end if the book is missing :-)
spoiler..........
I wonder if Sarah and chase will be re-united.

Although this is not the genre I typically read, I found this novel interesting and entertaining. Sarah is a great character. She's being pulled in so many directions and is confused about which to follow. Her old boyfriend Jeff says he still loves her, but then Sarah falls for another man. What should be her carefree life turns into a nightmare as Sarah discovers that nobody is who they seem to be, and she's not sure whom to trust. Even her parents are suspect as Sarah learns about a world beyond her wildest dreams.
The author does a spectacular job with the characters. The novel is exciting and hard to put down, and for that I give it five stars. The novel needs an editor, though. It is full of mistakes. With corrections made, it would be spectacular.

May Contain ::SPOILERS::
Spellbound follows the story of Sarah Daniels. When Sarah is asked to house sit by her parents she gets upset. The old house creeps her out. It's located on an Island outside of the city and growing up there strange things always happened in the house. As Sarah makes her journey to the home she comes in contact with some strangers that don't seem too strange to her. She experiences visions and when one of them reveals one of the strangers, Sarah doesn't know what to think.
When contact with this stranger; whose name is Chase, causes Sarah to get another vision, one of the past, Sarah is in awe. Chase's touch is shocking and sends tingles all the way through her body. Who is this man?
As the attraction between Sarah and Chase increases, she discovers the truth of who he really is. Chase is a vampire. When Sarah realizes that the Island she once called home is actually full of Immortals she's thrown into a world she can barely understand. When Sarah also realizes that she's actually an old soul, born multiple times over the centuries she questions the love Chase has for her. Is he in love with her or what she once was?
With Sarah having so much knowledge of the Other world she's now in a dangerous position. When others start coming after her, she must protect herself and the ones she cares for, but she's not being attacked just for her knowing too much...Sarah isn't who she thinks she is.
What do they want with Sarah? Will history repeat itself? Spellbound is a fast read that leaves you hanging at the end.
Spellbound was a great story. The Concept was great and the characters are detailed, the only problem I had with the story was the writing style. I have a hard time reading stories that are completely proper. I like when a story flows wells and is written in the way people speak. When words like do not and cannot are used instead of don't and can't it cuts the flow of the story for me and makes me pause in the line of thought. I understand that Chase is suppose to speak like that but with Sarah being from the modern world i think it would have fit better if mordern speech was used.
The end was very sudden, crazy cliffhanger leaving a lot of questions and anticipation (just the way i like a story), it makes you wonder what is going to happen to Sarah and Chase in the end. Will it all work out? Will Sarah remember who she once was?
If you like a fast paced book, with love, action and heartache and a quick read Spellbound is the book for you.

*I was given this book for free in exchange for a review*
I could not put this book down. I was drawn in by the mystery around the Island and the people who lived there.
Sarah is your average, everyday college student; she has issues with her ex; Jeff, she has good friends, and she doesn’t want to go home. Her parents are on vacation and ask Sarah to come home to feed their cat. Home she goes, but it’s so different, the house has always been odd/haunted/off. Her first night there she is freaked out and calls Jeff, who dutifully comes to her.
As the book goes, you realize people are not what they seem, including Sarah, who has been hidden away from it all. She meets Chase, a police officer, and from that moment, there is a connection. A deep familiar connection. Sarah doesn’t understand it, but she accepts it and loves Chase.
Slivers of information are fed to Sarah, so she understands and accept. We find out that Sarah is the last in the line of Hunters. She has the power to destroy it all. And everyone supe wants a piece of her! There are good people to help Sarah and there are bad people who are out for blood lust. They would stop at nothing to destroy Sarah and her lineage.
But can this be? Do Sarah and Chase have a chance together? Can the fates allow it? What about Jeff and his undying love for Sarah?
This book is a strong first book in the series. SL Ross builds the world with such amazing details, it’s like you are part of the story. The book pulls you in!!

I received this book in exchange for an honest review.
SpellBound is Book 1 in the Immortal Island Series. We are introduced to Sarah and Jeff, exes who now live together to save on rent. They are both in college and living normal lives. Sarah, is upset/nervous cause she has to go to her parent's house and stay until she can find Wiskers, their cat. She gets weird feelings when there and doesn't like to be there longer than necessary. She is convinced something is going on with the Island.
Enter Chase, he is an immortal Vampire that lives with his family and several others on this Island. Chase and Sarah have encountered each other various times in previous lives. Sarah doesn't know this but is instantly attracted to Chase and can't explain her strong feelings for someone she just met.
We spend most of Spellbound going back and forth between Sarah, Chase and Jeff. Along with a few other very attractive strangers and Sarah can't explain any of it or her interest in any of them.
It slowly comes out that Chase is a Vampire and that life as Sarah knows it doesn't exist. She has a heritage that she knows nothing about but is introduced to and learns that the man she thought was her best friend has been keeping secrets as well.
This is an introductory book and there were times when it felt a bit Twilightish but I like Twilight so I was down.
I am glad that I was able to read this and am currently reading the 2nd in the series, Vampire Masquerade. I recommend this book and hope that the rest of the series is as good a read as the first.

This is such a fun book. A girl in college who has some special powers, except she doesn't know it. When her parents go on vacation, she has to go home to watch their uber creeptastic house. It's pretty cool actually, but you know how things always happen when you're already nervous. LOL Sarah has a somewhat complicated life as it is. Her ex boy friend is also her best friend, and one of her roommates. But weird things happen in Sarah's house. She dreads going home, so she tells Jeff, the ex BF/room mate, to come stay with her. But he'll be there later, so she spends a few days by herself. And that's when it gets real.
Sarah has visions of the future, she meets a guy, others attack her. And there's a ton of mystery surrounding everything. And then she finds out she's not fully human and she is a threat to the paranormal world. In one of her visions, she finds Chase, and the real life Chase is even hotter. Except he's a vamper. And Jeff, he's not human either. And they need to protect her from these threats. And then along the way, she meets witches, vampires, and scary things.
The writing was fun. The beginning may seem a little slow, because the world needed to build. We needed to learn who Sarah is. but when the action got started, things moved quickly. I'm usually team Wolf, but this time, Team Chase won me over :) I look forward to seeing where the book is going to go with that little cliff hanger. I wanna know if Sarah is really going to turn into the kick ass chick everyone wants to kill her for supposedly being. :) 4.5 PAWS!

Immortal Island (Spellbound #1) is the beginning of a very promising paranormal series that I’m anxiously waiting to collect and place on my keeper shelf. I truly enjoyed reading this book and getting to know a great new author. I hope to see many more books from S.L. Ross and here’s why;
1. Immortal Island is a great paranormal tale with many refreshing twists and turns. It's not just another 'paranormal'. It has many surprises and is thought provoking.
2. The emotions the characters displayed throughout the pages were heartwarming and sometimes gut wrenching.
3. S.L. Ross managed to create a story that wasn’t easy to guess what was going to happen and in my book that’s a big plus. If I can figure out who did what, how it will all end and etcetera than I lose interest.
4. Sarah, the main female character, is a strong character but not to strong that it seems lshe’s unbelievable
5. Last but not least is the author’s writing style. The author was awesome and managed to write in a way it was easy to follow and not get lost. I could see every detail in my mind as if I was looking at photographs or video.
I give this book 5 out of 5 red crows. (blog rating system)

I will start off by saying I loved this story. This story starts you of with meeting Sarah who lives with her ex-boyfriend turned best friend and get 2 other best friend. Sarah had to go to get parents house to house sit for them but she doesn't want to because she feels like the house is haunted. while waiting for the bus to go home she sees this really cute guy who she feels like she had met before but before she can set anything to him he disappears.
Now enters Chase (again another really hot guy) she again feels like she knows him from somewhere.
I promise you I could go on and give you more details I loved the story so much I want my fellow readers to enjoy the story. I am so glad I got this book, it gave me a chance to fall in love with a New author. this story is fantastic and I can not wait to read the second installment.

I loved it! The beginning was a little slow, but a lot of books are starting out. Introducing characters and some background. By the third chapter I was really interested and by the fourth I was hooked! The story is great and plenty of intrigue. Sarah is the main character and she is thrown into a world she had no idea even existed. The story is written very well and will draw you into it wondering what is going to happen next. The ending has a cliff hanger of course because this is not the end of the adventure and I am ready for the next! I hope to see more from S.L.Ross. I think this rising new author has a lot more to come.

First off I want to give a HUGE thanks to the Author! For giving me this book and then working with me after my surgery!
That being said I really enjoyed this book! The author did an amazing job of sucking you into a paranormal story full of twist, turns, secrets and full of questions . Spellbound keeps you guessing from start to finish, as well as having great world build up! I loved all of the characters and find each one mysterious! And oh my what an ending.. the cliffhanger ending leaves you with more questions than answers! Who is who.. what do they want.. and why?? Starting the second book NOW!
I recommend this book to anyone that loves to read anything paranormal!

What a great fun read! The story captures you quite quickly and then with an accelerated pace takes you on a great adventure which you won't want to put down.
The characters are brought to life really well and you feel part of Sarah's world. There is romance although Sarah is not very good at picking her boyfriends!
It is a very good first book in a series, which I enjoyed in itself but also very much makes me want to read the next book.
If you like the idea of the book as described in the normal synopsis then I can assure you the actual book will be a joy.

I couldn't put Spellbound down once I was past the third chapter.
Spellbound reminded me of Twilight, but I felt that it was better written.
As far as the characters go, I loved Sarah and Jeff, but I still have mixed feelings about Chase. To me something about Chase just feels wrong.
I am looking froward to reading the next instalment in the series.

What an absolutely amazing book from start to finish. A fast paced read that draws you in to S.L. Ross's world of paranormal fantasy. I just finished the first and i have already started the second book in the series. Has a few characters to fall in love with. Can't wait to see what the next book has in store. Awesome Read!!!!

Some definite Twilight vibes here, that's for sure, but it was a fun, quick read. I liked Sarah, I found her pretty relatable, so that's always a blast!

Well...Immortal Island by S. L. Ross started off a little slow but not not slow enough to make stop reading. I guess you could say it was steady enough in the "seat grabbing" department to keep me coming back for more. However, I am not happy about the way the book ended. I am not one of those people that think everything has to have a sweet, happy ending....but it does need to have some sort of closure and this book just didn't do it for me.

The story was really good...very, very similar to the Twilight trilogy. I think the writing could have been better but overall a good book.
