Review: Juliet Immortal (Juliet Immortal #1) by Stacey Jay

BLURB

These violent delights have violent ends And in their triumph die, like fire and powder, Which as they kiss consume. -William Shakespeare, ROMEO AND JULIET Juliet Capulet didn't take her own life. She was murdered by the person she trusted most, her new husband, Romeo Montague, who made the sacrifice to ensure his own immortality. But Romeo didn't anticipate that Juliet would be granted eternal life as well, and would become an agent for the Ambassadors of Light. For seven hundred years, Juliet has struggled to preserve romantic love and the lives of the innocent, while Romeo has fought for the dark side, seeking to destroy the human heart. Until now. Now Juliet has found her own forbidden love, and Romeo, O Romeo, will do everything in his power to destroy their happiness. Secrets unfold and surprises abound in Stacey Jay's powerfully dark romance, which reunites literature's most tragic couple.

MY REVIEW Juliet Immortal by Stacey Jay
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

MMM, not sure yet about this one, pretty weird with the first thing about Shakespeare's job being a lie and that the most famous couple of lover of all the times were in their own worl war III, and in the top of that living for more than 700 years, so ... that was pretty much awkward, but hey ! it's a book, so I can take it.

The story itself kept me quite interested, about the whole thing related to a Juliet that wasn't quite believing in love as we thought , and finding out that Romeo was the bad of the tale... okay if the guy just killed me and tried to do so over and over again... of course I wouldn't want him any more than 1 million feet near me, so that's understandable.

The whole thing about ambassadors and mercenaries... mmm okay I buy it, not to mention that their origins are not so clear yet.

But I can say that the 80% of the book is more about a conventional teenagers relationship, a friend falling in love of her best friend's "special friend".

And the 20% divided by the half in the action motion between good and evil , and Juliet torn apart between Romeo and ta tarata : Benvolio.

So I don't really know what to say, but I admit that kept me quite interested in it. I mean I devour the whole book in a couple of hours.

So I'm more like:
