Immortal Girl5 by Griffin Stark
1.0
I had some issues with this book, the main one being how gory it was. I wasn't expecting it at all, and it was so weird because our main characters were these sweet girls but once they "had" to kill someone (it was mainly vengeance) they would take someone's eye out and the blood would explode, very graphic and gross for me.
Talking about the main characters, they were all so childish that it was almost impossible to picture them as people capable of protecting the entire world. The only one I liked a bit more was Rachel, but since it's a super short book we didn't actually got to know her.
Then, we have the most severe case of instalove I've ever read. It was so random and unbelievable. The thing tho is that sometimes I don't have a problem with instant attraction (because instalove doesn't exist) but in this one we had zero explanation as to why they immediately liked each other. Skylar and Luke's scenes were such a mess and it really felt forced.
Lastly, we spent the first 50% of the book as a huge introduction to the girls' story. I think considering this book is so short the story should have been focus enterily on the past or what the girls were living now. Because by having both story lines, everything felt rushed and lacking depth.
However, there were a couple of things that I did actually enjoyed. For instance, there's an f/f love story that truly touched my heart, it had some instalove vibes too but not as strongly as the one I mentioned earlier. I think this is one of the romantic partners that I'll never forget.
Having this in mind, Immortal Girls has a lot of representation. It has lesbian characters, a deaf character (even though I didn't like how that one was handled) and some characters with PTSD.
All in all, this book had a lot of flaws but if you're interested in a cute short f/f romance you may like this book, just keep in mind that that story is a small percentage of the entire book.
