In the deep desert of Las Angeles, Lily is rushing home to meet her curfew when she accidentally runs into a brutal crime that threatens her very life. A stranger comes to her rescue but she soon realizes that, though her life has been saved, it is no longer hers.
Mated to the Drakos prince, Calix Spiro Dracos, she is submerged into nightwalker politics and is surrounded by danger at every turn, outside of her new mates embrace.
Lily struggles to find her new identity as a human amongst the immortals, and fearlessness as their new queen.
L.L. Ash is a Washington-born writer who has traveled and lived across the western coast of the US. She lives in Utah with her husband and 3 kids, all of which are a handful!
Ash has been writing fiction since she was 11 years old, and finished her first full-length romance novella at 12. While her writing has improved since then, her love for literature has not changed. Oftentimes you can find Ash reading an indie romance or enjoying a historical fiction. She has been an artist for decades but found her true love and passion in romances.
But Ash is not content to write a romance with untried characters or predictable ‘happily ever afters’. Ash strives to create honest stories revolving around struggling heroins and bruised heroes, both trying to find happiness and acceptance, just like we in real life do. She writes about real struggles and real hardships, often giving the characters a tarnished facade. But through the constant loving and hating of the characters, you will fall in love with them as they grow and change and evolve through the stories.
As Ash always says, it’s all about real romance for real life.
The book certainly jumps right into the action between Lily and Calix. It caught me off guard, and felt like I was playing catch-up with all the new characters. However, for me the book’s pace slowed once Lily made it to Greece or around chapter 5. This was also the point where I became more interested in the story. At first, Calix comes off as cold and hard, however he shows great character growth in the book. By the end he accepts Lily for who is she is, and readers learn he has a soft side. Lily shows growth by embracing the vampires culture. She is wary of the group at first however overtime she embraces her role as a queen, creating a deeper bond between her and Calix. The secondary characters are interesting. Especially, the Drakos side of the family. I would have to say my favorite overall was Nyx. My least favorite would be Ariston. It seemed like he regressed through the book. I understand it was due to his change from human to vampire , but I just wasn’t expecting that large of a change. While I wish there were more action scenes, I felt like the areas that did contain action were great. I loved the attack on the Drakos family. At this point I couldn’t put the book down and craved to learn how Calix was going to revenge his family. I also enjoyed the little Easter eggs about Addie and her adventures. It was also great to see a cameo from Eddie. Just another reminder of that this book is a stand alone sequel to Exposure. Overall I liked Immersion, and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a well written vampire romance
