An amazing story! Definitely a keeper.
A must read. A good page turner.
A enjoyable read. An average book.
A book that has flaws and is hard to finish.
Terrible and couldn't finish it.
I happy to have Lee Rudnicki on the blog today to do a guest post and share a little about his book "My Immortal".
Hi everybody. Happy
Tuesday. My name is Lee Rudnicki, I’m a
writer and producer in Los Angeles,
and happy to be appearing on Romance Book Junkies. Thanks for checking out this
random guest blog post by an author you probably haven’t heard of yet, but
maybe you will soon. Or you have just
now. Or something like that. Anyway … Hello.
Thanks for checking in. Long story short, I just published a novel called
My Immortal: The Vampires of Berlin.
Upon a time, I had to self-publish My Immortal to get
anybody to read it. True story. It’s is a different book, you see. In fact, the creative process of writing it
was kinda-sorta backwards, the screenplay came first. Which sounds fun, but writing
a novel based on a screenplay is only easy and fun in theory. Second, My
Immortal contains intense depictions of supernatural violence. This is a literary roller coaster meant to
terrify. It is not a book for little
kids or the faint of heart.
So as the
story goes, I published My Immortal myself last year, and it sold
well. Then bada boom, bada bing, a magical
book signing in Burbank and an appearance in Entertainment Weekly later, the
book that broke every rule of writing a novel 400x got a publisher, 23
House. Cool beans, no?
What is this novel about? Well, My Immortal is a paranormal
action adventure, set in present day Berlin and also on the last day of World
War II. Structurally, it’s Titanic; present day scenes serve as bookends to a
tale from the past.
The 1945 adventure begins in Berlin Cathedral, where Sebastian
and Wolf, the sole survivors of a German tank crew find a dazed girl named Eva wandering
around in the ruins. It’s not
technically a romance, but Sebastian falls in love with Eva, who turns out to
be a very special young woman…
Enjoy ..
EXCERPT -- MY IMMORTAL THE VAMPIRES OF BERLIN
THE MIRACLE
Axel stirred just as Sebastian emerged from the darkness
with Eva. “Kill the devil girl!” he gasped.
Overcome by emotion, Klaus got up and pointed his rifle at
Eva. “We need to get rid of her. The vampires will stop hunting us. We’ll be safe.”
Sebastian put himself directly into the line of fire. “Easy
there, soldier. We’re all on the same side.”
Klaus didn’t flinch. “How many more of us have to die
because of her? You have a genius plan to get out of Berlin. That’s what you
guys told us, and that’s why we followed you. We don't need this vampire shit!”
Sebastian put his hand over the muzzle. “Put the rifle down.
I’m not going to let you shoot her.”
The old man’s voice broke with emotion. “Get out of my way!
She is not your daughter! Your daughter is dead! I will shoot that witch!”
“Shoot her!” Dieter shouted.
Just as Klaus began the muscle contractions on his index
finger to shoot, Sebastian moved at lightening speed and tackled him. Dieter
jumped onto Sebastian’s back, but ended up on the ground next to his
grandfather a split-second later. With his growing strength, Sebastian could
have easily killed them both. Instead, he held them down just hard enough to
prevent them from hurting someone.
Unnoticed during the mêlée, Eva knelt down and put her hands
on Axel’s face. She closed her eyes as a soft blue glow emanated from her
palms. The horribly burned pilot moaned and tried to push her away as the light
grew brighter, but Eva kept her hands firmly on him.
Dieter noticed the light. “Stop!” he yelled. “She’s hurting
him!”
Eva took her hands away from Axel and crumpled to the
ground.
Sebastian released his grip and the fight ground to a halt.
Klaus ran to the pilot’s side. “Are you all right? Axel, are
you still alive? Talk to me!”
Axel pulled his hands away from his face.
Klaus gasped. “Oh my God …”

Ooh this sounds fabulous. Very few good native english books that are set in Berlin. I'll definitely have to pick this one up.
