This is my first book from Victoria J. Price and I can tell you I was not disappointed! I can't remember where I heard about this book, but once I did, I knew I had to get my hands on it.

You are thrown into the chaos on page one with Rae (FML) as you are told about the world and the hierarchy system. Rae is your quintessential girlboss who isn't swayed by the pretty faces of vampires and Fae. She knows what she wants and is willing to do almost anything to get it done.

Aidan is your typical grumpy vampire. He hates everyone. Morally grey, he does what he needs to to keep himself on top while he searches for his missing magic.

When their worlds collide, sparks fly. Rae sees him for the monster he is and isn't afraid to tell him so. But she needs him more than she's willing to admit. Aidan isn't afraid to fall into the monster roll and he has nothing to loose when Rae offers him a bargain. He isn't sure this is the right play, but he's too intrigued about Rae to decide otherwise.

He has to keep his friends close and his enemies closer, and what's closer than making her his wife, right?

This book is a wild ride and its totally worth every minute!

Never Run From An Immortal is the start of a new series, set in a world of witches, humans, vampires, and fae, all fighting for power. Within each group there are factions based on abilities, it does take a while to get used to all the terms but once I got into the story I was hooked! The main characters, Rae and Aidan, have the perfect slow burn enemies to lovers, initiated by an alliance to investigate the disappearances of Rae's friend and Aidan's powers. There were a lot of twists in this one, some I expected and others that surprised me. It was a great start to a new urban fantasy series and I'm excited to see where it goes!

Now THIS had all the tropes I love to see in a romantasy! Enemies to lovers, marriage of convenience, forced proximity with a slow burn - GIMME! Loved the world building, character development and how likeable the FMC is and appreciated having dual POV. Will be in love with Aiden forever, I fear.

Never Run From an Immortal is a fast-paced, action-packed PNR story filled with delightful banter, marriage of convenience, forced proximity set in a dark & gritty world where vampires, Fae, & humans are at constant war & power struggle.

The urban atmosphere and overall feeling of never-ending conflicts set the perfect stage for the two main characters—a vampire lord and a thief, both on their own secret missions and their own secret agendas. So, you can only imagine what will happen when their worlds collide in an explosion of epic proportions. An explosion of secrets, mysteries, haunting pasts & inner demons. An explosion of hatred and love, pain and hurt, hope and betrayal.

I enjoyed the dynamics between the main characters, Rae and Aiden. They are both flawed in their own ways, afraid of letting someone in, and finding comfort in another person. But, sometimes the things you most run from, find you at exactly the right time and place.

So, should you run from an immortal? Or to one?

Thank you, Victoria, for having me as your ARC reader; it was a blast.

Thank you NetGalley and Victoria Price for the ARC of this must read romantasy!

Reading the description, you had me at vampires but the story...just suffice it to say that I was hooked from the very beginning. Rae is a complete badass FMC and Aiden is the epitome of the broody possessive MMC. The banter is perfection. The story line is consistently page turning. The character development is masterful.

This book is dark, chaotic, immersive and just all the things you expect from a fantasy romance. You may not run from an immortal but you need to run out and get this book...like now...

I want to scream from the rooftops because I devoured this book.
The dynamic between between Rae and Aiden is addicting.
Their snarky banter had me in knots. Their chemistry was developed beautifully. The author did a great job of constructing a fresh new romance that kept me wanting more.
I loved the construction of the world. How we are given just enough information at the beginning and get to discover so much more as the story progresses. This world has all types of mythical big dogs that are all battling for power with our main character caught right in the middle. This urban fantasy had me hooked immediately. Between the world, characters, twists, and romance I was instantly devoured by the pages.

Price knows how to deliver on a romantasy! Enemies to lovers, marriage of convenience, vampires and witches, Never Run From an Immortal is filled with romantasy tropes and they are done so well. The relationship between Aiden and Rae was done so well, the tension, the way they unravel, the spice, it was everything I wanted from this story.

A great book but it had alot of setting up with the different species and names to follow and I was abit confused. It was a good book overall and I liked it.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💫 (4.5 stars)

Never Run from an Immortal is an atmospheric and emotionally charged paranormal fantasy that blends romance, danger, and ancient secrets with seamless finesse. Victoria J. Price delivers a rich, slow-burn tale that sinks its claws into you from the first chapter and refuses to let go.

The worldbuilding is moody and immersive, the writing lyrical without losing clarity, and the characters—especially the immortal love interest—are compelling and well-developed. There’s a constant tension thrumming through the pages, and the way the mystery unfolds alongside the emotional stakes kept me fully engaged.

I especially loved the emotional depth of the protagonist and the balance between vulnerability and strength. The themes of grief, trust, and identity are handled with care, and the romance hits all the right beats—angsty, tender, and full of tension.

If you’re a fan of gothic settings, brooding immortals, and stories that feel like a haunting melody, this one’s for you.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the ARC in exchange for an honest review.

really good

Thank you to the author for a gifted copy of this ebook.

I really liked it and look forward to the next part. The storyline is really good. We get both MCs POVs, which I love. The story did take me a little to get into and be able to keep up with at the beginning but things started falling into place and man it got good! I love morally gray mmcs and bada$$ fmcs. While they need each other and make their agreement to help each other, the marriage of convenience and forced proximity of it all makes them fall for each other. Also witches and vampires… love love love.

The premise of this book interested me immediately. I mean, an urban fantasy in a world run by vampires, witches, and fae? Sign me up! I'm a vampire lover at heart, so this sounded right up my alley.

Let's start with the pros. The first thing I noticed was how detailed the world building was! The different types of vampires, the feuds between the supernatural creatures, and the way they all related with humans was instantly intriguing. The first chapter sucked me right in, especially with the angsty setting and immediate action. It definitely had me wanting more right from the get-go!

I really love Aidan as a character. Very different from a "typical vampire," but very interesting nonetheless. I think that had to do with his additional abilities as a vampire that can influence the minds of others. He also had a "reluctant hero" vibe about him, which I really enjoyed.

Now for the cons. While I was initially intrigued by the story, the further I got into the book the more I found myself getting a bit bored. After the first few chapters, the action slows down considerably, and the intense scenes that do happen are over in a blink. The pacing felt off and it left me feeling like I was missing something. I also feel like the world building, while cool, wasn't given enough on-page time. With the glossary at the front of the book, it seemed like the author expected the reader to have studied the glossary beforehand and have an intimate knowledge of certain things ahead of time. Because of this, there were times while reading that the characters had a conversation about something that I knew nothing about, but it was written in a way that made me feel like I should already know it.

Also, the characters never really grabbed my attention in a meaningful way. Aidan and Rae were interesting enough, but they felt very surface-level to me and I wasn't able to connect with them like I wanted to. By the time the slow burn paid off, I wasn't really even that invested in their relationship. Rae was a bit hard to like as well. I love a sarcastic, strong FMC as much as the next girl, but I felt like that was as deep as her character got.

Overall, not a bad read! I do hope that the next book adds some more depth to the characters and the world, and that we get some more action!

Thanks so much to NetGalley and the publisher for a digital review copy.

I went into this book blind, not really knowinf what to expect at all. It was an awesome Urban Fantasy/Romantasy full of Witches, Vampires, Fae and humans in different orders. I immediately liked the outlining of the orders and their abilities as well as a map.

I had a mini slump after I finished an amazing series recently, something that hasn't happened to me before but this was so easy to get involved with right away, thrown straight into the action I just couldn't put it down. I bought into the characters and their motives. I felt their highs and lows. I was rooting for the side characters too.

There were twists and turns, well fleshed out characters, a storyline that grabbed you and that ending... well, I cannot wait for the second book!! I feel like we are still going to learn so much more about the main characters and I can't wait to see where they go next!

I thought this was very good and I will have to add this to the shop shelves. Thank you for the chance for us to review.

Such a great story! With twists you can guess at but still surprises you.
Rae is a strong, stubborn, determined woman, who makes a deal with the vampire lord. Close proximity and some steamy scenes.
Can't wait to read the next book!

Witch thief + vampire lord = explosive chemistry. This urban fantasy romance delivers enemies-to-lovers tension, forced proximity, and a marriage of convenience that actually works. Rae and Aidan's banter is sharp, the magic is fun, and Rae’s friendship with Baelin stole my heart. Fast-paced, flirty, and full of supernatural drama—loved it!

Never Run From An Immortal by Victoria J. Price no was a fantastic romantasy story.
The perfect enemies-to-lovers read with outstanding characters.
The amazingly detailed world building and layers are deep.
I cannot wait for book two and continuing to explore this rich world!
