ARC Review: Immortal Creators by Jill Bowers

Immortal Creators

Expected Publication Date: April 3, 2018
Publisher: Blue Moon Publishers

Description:
Sixteen-year-old author Scott Beck never wanted to be an Immortal Writer—not after his father was killed on a mission attempting to dispatch his own villain. Scott blames Shakespeare and the Writers for his father's untimely demise, but no amount of hatred will prevent the oncoming alien attack, which has come over to reality straight from Scott's book.

Scott is forced to collect his characters—an Air Force colonel, two of the best pilots on Earth, and an alien enthusiast from the year 2134—and defeat the alien king before Earth is obliterated by his ships. But an odd sickness Scott calls his Writing Fever might just kill him before the aliens have the chance.

Will Scott be able to defeat the monsters he created, or will the world end in flames?


My review:
Immortal Creators is the sequel to Immortal Writers and seems to set up quite nicely for a third book. The main premise of these books is what would happen if the greatest storytellers literally become immortal and bring their stories to life.

I very much enjoyed this book. Blending together conflicts from Scott’s sci-fi characters, the Immortal Writers, and Scott’s Writing Fever, there was a lot going on, but I had no trouble keeping up. I enjoyed how Curtis and Liz came back in this one as supporting characters, and I think having to fight off a technologically superior alien invasion definitely kicked it up a notch. Once I got going in the book, I had a hard time putting it down.

As for the set up for the third book, wow. I had no clue that was where this was going, and I’m anxious to see what happens next. If you’re reading cliffhanger into that, you’d be right, but the primary focus of this book is resolved, it just sets up the next in the ongoing storyline. I thought it was well done.

Overall, I loved this book, and I feel it outdid the first in the series. Highly recommended to folks who get a kick out of the idea of fiction leaking into reality.

I received the ARC of this book from NetGalley.
