This was an absolutely Great read!! Writing was fluid and the storyline flowed. Solid character and world-building. I literally didn’t put it down until I finished. Suspenseful with surprise twists, love interests and an unpredictable conclusion made this a win-win for me. Highly recommend.

This book is one I wasn’t able to put down once I started it! Enemies to lovers. Plot twists. Just when I thought I had something figured out something crazy would happen. I absolutely love Rae & Aidan. She’s spunky and full of surprises. Aidan is the typical tough guy vampire but I really enjoyed how he is with Rae. Steamy, action packed, witty, etc I truly hope Victoria is planning on book #2 because I need more of them and must know what happens next!

Really enjoyed this!

If you’re looking for fantasy, enemies to lovers, vampires, witches and fae alongside some sassy banter and some morally grey main characters… then this is the book for you!

We have a marriage of convenience troupe and the world building was pretty easy to follow which is always a bonus when jumping into a fantasy read.
I did predict one of the main plots throughout this story, however this did not deter my love for this book at all!

Will definitely be looking forward to continuing this series!

“But Rae knew a thing or two about fear, and those who knew how to wield it like a blade.”

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.5/5

Vampires and Fae and Witches, oh my!! Never Run From An Immortal is my first completed ARC read of the year. I absolutely LOVED this book. The action started right off the bat and we were thrown right into the chaos of the story. Rae and Aidan are just *chef’s kiss* as an enemies-to-begrudging-allies-to-lovers couple. It was just a wild ride from start to finish! Excited for the physical book to come out on June 17th. I’ll definitely be getting a copy then!! Thank you to @victoriajprice and @netgalley for the digital ARC copy!

Thank you to Victory Editing and NetGalley for this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

I really enjoyed this book! It originally caught my eye because I'm a sucker for fantasy, especially vampires and witches, and it did not disappoint.

This was my first book by this author, ant I can't wait to read more of her writing! I was completely pulled in and finished it in a day. I loved the world-building, as well as Rae and Aiden's character development and chaos.

I can't wait to read the next book in the series!

Thank you to Victory Editing and NetGalley for this ARC in exchange for an honest review. This was such a fun time! The world felt very reminiscent of a House of Earth and Blood with the urban setting and all its complex lore and diversity of species. Rae was a really standout FMC, and I loved being able to follow her journey through all the twists and turns. Sometimes it could get a bit difficult to follow and visualize what was happening, but the story still had me engaged and hooked to the very end. I look forward to the next one!!

First, a big thank you to NetGalley for the ARC in exchange for an honest review!

Never Run From An Immortal had a premise that immediately caught my attention. The blend of urban fantasy with a vampire x witch dynamic, plus morally gray main characters, sounded right up my alley. The worldbuilding was intricate and well-developed, making the setting feel immersive and lived-in. I also appreciate a good slow burn, but in this case, the pacing dragged a bit too much for my taste.

My biggest struggle was connecting with Rae. While I love a strong-willed FMC, her constant sass felt over the top at times, making it difficult for me to fully invest in her journey. That being said, I can absolutely see why many readers loved this book. The tension between Rae and Aidan, along with the enemies-to-lovers dynamic, will definitely appeal to those who enjoy complex relationships and detailed fantasy settings.

While this one wasn’t quite for me, I’d still recommend it to readers who enjoy rich worldbuilding, political intrigue, and a slow-burn romance packed with tension. If those elements are your thing, Never Run From An Immortal might be the perfect read for you!

Firstly I want to say that I am completely and utterly blown away by the world that Victoria J. Price has created. The unique lore, technology, and class structure that she created is outstanding. It is unlike any other book I have read. The alignment of both main characters and the dual point of view between each chapter allows the reader to analyze & note different points from each character. Since both are hiding secrets from one another, the reader is the only person who knows exactly what is happening. While there were still many looming mysteries being held above our heads while reading, we slowly see the puzzle pieces aligning towards the end of the book. To say that I was shocked at the end is an understatement. The last scene was perfectly executed to set up the beginning of the second book of the series. If you love books with vampires, dual points of view, secrets, arranged marriages between enemies, spice, high lord mafia vibes, and a good heart tug, you will find yourself lost in the pages of this book. I will definitely be reading book number two in the future of this series!

Publication Date: June 17th, 2025

I really enjoyed this book. The magic was familiar enough to be comfortable but different enough to be interesting.
I really enjoyed Aidan. As an mmc, he had everything you could want. Money, power, magic, and he's a vampire. I love his moral code and how he treats Rae
Rae, I liked enough. I loved her relationship with Nim and how much she loved her.
There were so many secrets throughout this whole book. As each was revealed, I was sucked further in.

**No Spoilers**

I’m not sure if I am angry at this book or delighted. It’s been a while since I’ve been that sucked into a book that I couldn’t put it down, kicked my feet, annoyed my husband by blurting things out about it and felt genuinely intrigued by a story like this.

I’m delighted that it was such an easy read. The book length, the dual POV, the story telling, world building… it was enough to set the scene for a book this length but it whet my appetite to learn more about it, imagine it and want to immerse myself in it. The characters were so refreshing. A bad ass FMC who’s late 20s, takes zero shit but isn’t nasty (looking at you in the early acotar books, Nesta 👀) and actually has a likeable personality. The MMC was your typical brooding, scary asshole but with the tried and tested “touch her and I’ll rip your throat out” side. She was 100% more morally grey than he was.

Now for the reasons I’m mildly angry. I’m angry because this book hasn’t even been released which means I can’t get a physical copy yet. It means the next book is way off so I’ll have to actually wait to find out what happens on the next part of their journeys.

I cannot recommend this book enough. A decent amount of spice but it’s not rammed down your throat (giggity), a delicious cliffhanger that won’t make you rage but certainly makes you want more and it’s length is perfect for a quick read (which it will be because you’ll just want to binge it once you’ve started). With the right people, this would make an awesome audiobook as well.

Please read it. I’ll be recommending to everyone I know I can force into it.

Thank you to NetGalley for the ARC and to Victoria J Price for a bloody awesome time. Excuse me whilst I go and buy all her other books now.

This was my first ever ARC, and I am so glad I received it. I absolutely loved this book. This was my first fantasy book after digging into dark romance for a while and it was great! I feel like the main storyline was excellent and it really drew me in. I immediately wanted to know what was going on and I wanted all the answers. The enemies-to-lovers story was really well written. Especially with their internal struggles to be vulnerable while at the same time wanting to maintain their fierceness and also not wanting to tell the other the whole truth. I also really enjoyed having a strong, sarcastic, and determined FMC instead of an FMC that needed a man to take care of her.
I really loved the thought that was put into the different orders and factions. Each one was really well thought out and executed well. Personally, I had a hard time keeping up with the orders and factions, but I think that was my own personal struggle and nothing to do with the way the author wrote the book. The magic system used in the book was also very well written and I especially loved the symbolism of the pool scene towards the end of the book.
There were a few times in the book when I was a little confused as far as the setting they were in. I feel like there could have been more detail placed on the setting of the books. However, I don't think the confusion of that changed the overall enjoyability of the book.
This was overall such a fun and enjoyable book! I can't wait for the next one so I can continue the story after that cliff the author left us on!

This just put me back into fantasy (as if I ever left the genre lmao). This was unique and intriguing in so many different ways.

The world building is beautifully done, the character development is remarkable, and the SLOW-BURN, ENEMIES TO LOVERS?? You’re kidding….. My heart was aching by the end of this book and knowing I have to wait… who knows how long to figure out what happens next.

Vale. Farren. 💔❤️‍🩹

Wow wee where to begin. This book gave and it’s going to keep giving because there is no way with the ending that there isn’t going to be a sequel and I’m here for it!

This is an urban romantasy featuring a sassy and fiercely independent FMC and a MMC that is stoic and a dreamer. He is the leader of the vampires and she is a jeweller that imbues magic into her pieces aiding the humans against vampires and fae forced together by entering a deal with one another whilst not trusting each other.

The world building and characters are action packed and easy to follow along. Its fast paced and keeps you entranced through the whole read with its dual POV and banter between the characters. The side characters are well thought out and each play a key role in the book (didn’t feel like fillers). Loved the dual relationship of Rae and Bae as well as Ru and Quinn appearances.

Troupes that we all love are seen in this book - Marriage of convenience, slow burnnnnnnn enemies to lovers, (… dare we say more than lovers?!), morally grey MC, forced proximity. MMC is definitely a “touch her and die” man.

It was a great read that I was fortunate enough to read as an ARC through Netgallery.

4.5 stars ( rounded up to 5)
Arc review
Never Run From an Immortal by Victoria J Price.

This is my first book by the author and it will definitely not be my last. I fell instantly into this amazing read, totally absorbed from the first few pages. It’s fast paced and the world really came alive for me. I adored both of the main characters and literally did not want the book to end.

We meet Rae, a tough, and snarky thief, worn down by years of fighting for what she believes in. She’s brash, opinionated and bold, daring to take on the Order - a ruling class of vampires.

It’s a dual POV, which worked so well. I loved the banter between Rae and Aiden, the dark and shadowy Vampire lord she is hunting. Despite outside appearances, he has a soft possessive side which I was totally here for!

Set in a bleak urban landscape where magic rests side by side with modern technology, it has a unique twist which worked really well.

I cannot wait for book 2 to see where the story goes and will be supporting the kickstarter releasing later this month!

Thank you Victoria and NetGalley for the e-ARC!

Thank you to the publisher and Netgalley for approving me to read this book, I’m rating it 3.75 - 4.0 stars.

I had a lot of fun reading this, the FMC is pure feminine rage and sarcasm. The FMC just has this presence throughout and despite the catastrophic and chaotic things that occur in her life, she maintains that formidable presence. Our MMC is broody and a little self loathing, but he commands attention and doesn’t tolerate disloyalty. Those two were quite a pair on the page, epitome of tension as they clashed and bit back at one another. A true enemies to lovers fantasy!

A lot happens in a short amount of time, but the story doesn’t feel rushed. I enjoyed the twists, but I did see one of them coming.

This is a great book 1 in the series and I’m really looking forward to what happens next.

Never Run From an Immortal ticks all my trope boxes and then some; enemies to lovers (of course), arranged marriage, forced proximity, sassy street smart FMC paired with an idealistic dreamer MMC (who has to hide his feelings towards his race) - it’s all in the mix and it’s tantalisingly good. Never Run From an Immortal is relentless from start to finish - I can’t wait for the second book.

I didn’t know what to expect from this novel when I started it, but I am sure glad that I read it. I absolutely loved this book! Victoria J. Price did an amazing job crafting the world and the characters. The story did not feel rushed at all unlike other romantasy novels I have read recently.

Aidan and Farren were well developed characters in this novel. We get a glimpse of their past and how it shaped them. Their relationship was tumultuous at first, but the anticipation was worth it. On that note, I think the spice in the book was not too overwhelming.

Who would not love Baelin? Baelin, Quinn, and Ru were perfect additions to the story. Honestly, the other characters in the book did not feel like they were put in there just to be fillers. They helped shape the story.

I cannot wait for the next book in the story. It will be a long wait, but I know it will be worth it! I highly recommend reading this book especially to those who love romantasy and enemies-to-lovers stories.

✨This review is for an ARC.✨

Ahhhh! This was so good. I loved that the book hooked me from the beginning and I didn’t want to put it down. The world building was amazing and I was very thankful for the descriptions of the orders and factions at the beginning of the book. Rae is such an amazing FMC and I can’t wait to see what chaos she causes in the next book. Aiden the MMC is also fabulous. They both have amazing character development individually and together. I can’t wait for more of Rae and Bae as well!

✨arc review✨
Couldn’t put it down! It’s a wild read that hooks you from chapter one and finishes with surprises that will have your jaw on the floor. Cannot wait for more!!

Fast-paced and action-packed from the start, I couldn't put it down.

The main characters are true ennemies-to-..., well you will see!

Eater eggs are planted throughout the story but they aren't 'over-obvious' so you will feel smart when you spot them. That being said, you still won't see some plot twists coming!!

Definitely not a single dull moment with this book, and to wrap this up we get a last chapter promising a thrilling sequel!

PS: This is my first ARC review on NetGalley and I'm glad it is for this book!
