My Immortal Highlander

Ratings: * * * (out of 5 *)
Genre: Fanta-Historical Romance



A two-part novel by Hannah Howell and Lindsay Sands, My Immortal Highlander is about identical Twins Bothan and Calum NacNachton. Twins who went their own ways and found brides. Each becoming a laird in medieval Scotland.


Rumors hound the MacNachtons. They were said to be demons preying on souls of virgins and bairns but that was not so for the women who found themselves in situations that called for big strong men that were more than human.


Hannah Howell's The Hunt stars Bothan. He searches for an Outsider, one who is not of clan, to be his bride. Centuries of inbreeding had weakened them. His father made sure to mix their blood and dilute their curse. So Bothan and his siblings delve in two worlds. He can come out in the day but takes precaution to hide behind a thick cloak. They drink blood when weakened and heal very fast. Destiny has sent him to the aid of Kenna Brodie who's murderous uncle claims her inheritance Bantulach from her. Together, they must vanquish foe and dark rumors and as all good romance do, have a happy ending.


Lindsay Sand's The Rescue deals with Calum. Lonely from being separated from his twin, now a laird, Calum sets out in quests that takes him away from his home. As fate had brought his brother to a woman in need, so he too faces an heiress in trouble. Seems marriage was the only solution. Will he take the plunge? Can she and her people accept a vampire laird?


The story, the set and the concept is good but it leaves the reader hanging. I felt it was an abrupt ending and it needed expansions.
