My life was never black and white.
Heck, it wasn’t even black, white and gray.
Lines were not drawn between good and evil, and if they were, I would have jumped those suckers for fun.
But now it was simpler. It wasn’t black and white. Or gray. It was only one thing.
Blood.
A crimson-tinted world. That was all I needed.
All I wanted.
Him.
Despite the war raging around us, or the secrets between us, there was nothing simpler than blood.
It didn’t matter that it would be fatal.
After all, it’s the things we’re not undead without that will kill us in the end.

5.0 out of 5 stars 4.5 Deathless Stars!
Reviewed in Australia on 27 June 2018

Deathless is the next book on Isla and Thorne’s journey to fulfilling a prophecy made thousands of years ago and trying to prevent a war in which eternity is no longer a guarantee! I still loved Isla’s sassy nature and Thorne has definitely won me over:) I’m curious as to the nature of relationship between Sophie and the wolf who is helping the team - but I will delay her story until I’ve read book 3, which is newly arrived on my kindle and begging to be read! Also a few twists and turns in this book I didn’t see coming, which was a nice surprise as I usually get the instigator or who dunnit, pretty quickly.

A great series:)

4.0 out of 5 stars Isla is back, and ready to kick butt more then ever.
Reviewed in Australia on 5 March 2020

Deathless is book two in Anne Malcom’s The Vein Chronicles Series.

This book continues on from where ‘Fatal Harmony’ book 1 leaves us. I wouldn’t recommend reading this book if you haven’t had the chance to read book one as there is a lot of the story and characters that won’t make a lot of sense.

My life was never black and white.

Isla and Thorne, Thorne and Isla...

I love Thorne just putting it out there 😉 the unconditional love and affection he has for Isla. WOW! I do have to say I did love Isla in ‘Fatal Harmony’ and the beginning of ‘Deathless’ but then got annoyed with her after the secret between Thorne and Rick is revealed. I understand she was hurt, but I felt that she just over reacted. There was never anytime between the killing and dying for the secret to come out, plus it’s kind of a big deal, it can’t just be brought up in a casual conversation. But after the reconciliation the sassy and kicka** Vampire Isla I love was back. YAY! Plus she gets a little revenge back on her family, it was well overdue.

I do have to mention Sophie, what an Awesome Chick. I love her loyalty... She will literally do anything for the ones she loves. I can’t wait to see how she grows into her powers. But I am also a little concerned for her after the incident at the beginning of ‘Deathless’ where she looses control. But I did have a chuckle where she freezes Rick and then forgets she has done it 😝. Duncan is so freaking Hilarious, he’s too cool and carefree attitude is just what this Scooby Doo gang needs.

I continued on with this series as the plot had me wanting to read on. This one was slightly better than the 1st book but the problem of a lack of editing still existed. I'm stopping here.

5.0 out of 5 stars Paranormal Brilliance ❤️💀🖤
Reviewed in Australia on 25 April 2017
Everyone knows I am a massive Anne Malcom fan. Her stories speak to me like no other books. Deathless has yet again cemented her as my favourite author. Isla is back and she's not screwing around.

This book has something for everyone.

Ass kicking action of the paranormal variety ✅
Swoon worthy moments ✅
Seriously hot chemistry ✅
Witty banter and dialogue ✅
Supporting characters you love ✅
Storyline that leaves you wanting more ✅
Banter and dialogue so funny you will definitely laugh and might snort ✅

And most importantly it has a heroine that you want to be best friends with. Isla is the very best kind of kick ass character you want to go out for a few cocktails with and then join her posse and kill a few bad guys.

I wholeheartedly recommend this book to anyone looking for an action packed, funny, emotional, hot and female empowering read.

Thorne and Isla are my perfect couple. Swoon Central ❤️❤️❤️

Wasn’t that what love did? Broke you into as many pieces as humanly, and inhumanely, possible so you couldn’t put yourself back together? Not without the other person, at least.

I'm not going to say anything else because I don't want to spoil the book for readers but I do have to share my favourite quote from Isla. I just love her. I love her hard.

I never make promises because I don’t like present Isla making future Isla’s decisions for her. I find it rude.

Thank you Anne for another book that gave me everything I needed.

Reviewed in Australia on 1 January 2018
Isla joins us again with her special brand of irreverent rhetoric, insults and snarky repartee. This series has most definitely been added to my favourites list, winning extra points for no cliffhanger.

There's some nice wrap ups here which are appreciated, and in one sense conclude a small part of the series. However, this doesn't at all mean that the series should end here. So, yes, I'm waiting for the next piece of Isla to add pep to my step and give me no small smirk for the day.

This book would have been 5 stars if it wasnt for the constant drivel and philosophical ramblings that distracted from the story. Many times I skipped a couple pages just to get to whatever was happening. It became boring quickly

5.0 out of 5 stars Isla is still awesome!
Reviewed in the United States on 4 March 2019

Deathless is book two in the Vein Chronicles and I'm still loving the series. Despite defeating the first witch in the prior book, it turns out the curse may still be affecting Isla. She's down to one source of blood, good thing it's Thorne, the guy she's in denial about being in love with. Meanwhile, there's still assassination attempts to thwart, a war brewing, zombie vampires to defeat, her family to kill and a prophesy involving Isla, Thorne and some other unnamed people to ignore. If you’re reading the series, it’s just all in a normal days work for Isla.

I love Isla's snark and her witticisms, it's one of the reasons I devoured the book. There were only a couple of things I didn't love, the first was her (over) reaction to Thorne's origin story. The second was her constant reminders that she's a strong woman who doesn't need a man to save her. Those are really just minor complaints though and I’m really looking forward to reading the next book in the series.

4.0 out of 5 stars Fulfilling the Prophecy
Reviewed in the United States on 2 July 2018

Deathless picks up right where Fatal Harmony left off. Thorne and Isla just can't catch a break.

Isla keeps taunting death and it has finally caught up to her. Not only did the witches curse her, she finds out about the prophecy. Now the weight of the world is literally on her shoulders. Not to mention her survival is now completely dependent on one man.

Secrets and lies can destroy everything. And when Isla finds out the truth of the one closest to her, her trust is shattered. She doesn't love or trust easily, so when its broken it just destroys her.

This story has so many twists that I cannot read fast enough. The author constantly keeps me on my toes because I just never know what Isla is going to do next. She is one of my favorite heroines of all time. Isla is fearless and strong, independent and loyal, a little bit crazy but a whole lot of fun!

I am moving onto the next in the series because I just cannot wait to see what happens.

3.0 out of 5 stars Story is great writing was not
Reviewed in Canada on 11 February 2018

This is my second attempt at reading this book. It is a fantastic idea but the prose just kills me. The author tends to be wordy at the best of times, IMHO, and her new heroine Isla is rather prone to going off on tangents. She talks and talks and talks.

At times, I actually lost focus on Isla's original point and felt that it was taking away from the otherwise excellent story. The blurb I posted above is an excellent example of text from the book. I'm sure that there are tons of people who love this style, but it is not for me.

At times I had to force myself to finish reading the book, or at least skim the current section, because I did want to find out what happened. But I will admit that if the author wasn't someone I usually like, I would have given up before the 50% mark.

In addition to the run-on sentences and overly wordy style, sometimes sentences just didn't make sense. Ms. Malcom's editor/betas did not do her any favours in this instance.

The next book in this series is going to be one I wait and borrow from my local library, rather than purchasing. I still want to know where the series goes but if it is written the same way, I won't be continuing.

3.0 out of 5 stars A bit slow
Reviewed in the United States on 26 January 2020

In the first book I enjoyed the story building Isla's smart mouth, it was fun and quirky. In this book though it just was too much, I could skip whole paragraphs and miss nothing but rambling nonsense. Sometimes even 95% of pages. Also Thorne is really annoying, I get being broody and angry and in love with Isla is his thing, but he doesn't act like a real person. I get that I'm reading a supernatural romance book, but this is ridiculous and just subpar writing. Thorne needs to work on his character development, he doesn't speak or react like a person. Isla's dialogue and inner dialogue is too much, I think it would be more effective if she was a smart mouth and went on little rants in key moments rather than every page. Most of the side characters make sense and talk and react believably, the main characters have just gone overboard. I nearly have up reading this book a couple of times but I liked the twist ending so hopefully the last one is better
