Description:
THE IMMORTAL WORLD IS IN TROUBLE, AND THE GODS DEMAND . . . THEIR TAILOR COME TO THE RESCUE?
Long ago, Damien Greystone hung up his guns, knives, and rope for the quiet life of a tailor. Sure, his clients now include the likes of bloodthirsty vampires, a hair-obsessed Bigfoot, and fourteen insane deities, but at least Damien doesn’t have to kill anymore. And, sure, he’s been cursed to live alone for all eternity, but nobody’s life is perfect. Right?
Unfortunately, his monk-like existence is about to come to a screeching halt. The gods’ powers are on the fritz, and they’re demanding his help.
But when Damien starts investigating, he meets Sky Morales, a beautiful journalist who’s up to her ears in danger (and one very aggressive fairy). He has no choice but to dust off his weapons.
Can he protect her without getting too close? Because his “curse of solitude” doesn’t negotiate, and bad things will happen to Sky if he so much as feels a flutter of affection.
And as if that pressure weren’t enough, his precious store is being looked after by a love-sucking demon and a punk chick who has a knack for insulting everyone. Bigfoot isn’t pleased.
The sooner Damien can get this job done, the faster he can get back to his peaceful life. If only he weren’t enjoying getting his hands dirty again. Just like the good old days that got him in trouble.
Did a prostate-tickling, anus-diving sex fairy, who lived for bathing in bodily fluids, just tell him his language was offensive?
My opinion:
I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
The Immortal Tailor by Mimi Jean Pamfiloff is the first book from a new immortal series.
Damien Greystone was the owner of Greystone and Sons. He was the best immortal tailor in L.A. Humans, Gods, demons and other creatures were his customers. Then one day he was visited by Cimil the former Goddess of the Underworld. Since he used to be the best fixer and
supernatural weapons expert, she asked him to do some digging and figure out how to reverse the effects of the blast. His immediate answer was no, he didn’t want to go back to his dark days, but Cimil was prepared. If he wanted to save his little love demon he
had to do it. His first clue was the woman who was attacked by a fairy. The plan was simple, he was going to find Sky Morales ask her a few questions, and come back. Unfortunately, nothing went as his planned and he ended up with two love demons, a sex fairy a vampire, and a ghost. Was it too late to drop everything and go back to living in peace?
This is one of the best paranormal fantasies I have ever read. It’s a great mix of dark fantasy/comedy and suspense/mystery. The plot is incredible and captures your attention from the very first page. It starts with the dark comedy and then slowly the mystery and suspense was added. The characters were a very odd bunch. Damien was the brooding jerk who had a secret sensitive side. The love demon and the fairy were hilarious. My favorite parts were the weird scenes with the fairy and the end where he realized that the Gods did him dirty.
If you have a weird sense of humor like me you’ll enjoy this book. I will rate it with 5 stars.
