Chronicle Toward Books A Chance for Charity (The Immortal Ones #1)

A new family has just arrived in the isolated mountain town of Telluride, Colorado. Welcome the Johnstons - Jason (a doctor), Rachel (a designer), and their niece Emily (a current High School Senior).

Emily has lived the life of a quiet loner in the past, trying to go unnoticed. But with Telluride being such a small and welcoming town, she finds a group of friends at school almost immediately. When Emily meets Link (another new transplant in town) her world turns upside down. She doesn't understand why she feels a magnetic pull toward him, or why she unknowingly lets her guard down around him. Link is just as confused by his own need to be with her.

Emily knows she is playing with fire. She should be doing whatever she can to keep herself isolated, to keep Link from getting too close. Danger has a way of finding Emily's family - that is what keeps them on the move. They arrive in a new town every few years - it is safer that way.

Because... Emily isn't really Emily... her real name is Charity - and Charity has an even bigger secret. Charity and her family are not like other people, they have "skills" that mere mortals cannot begin to comprehend.

Before long, Charity is struggling with the reality that her two lives are coming closer to each other with each passing day. Soon Link will find himself wrapped in a supernatural world that he never knew existed - and discover that mortals are not the only beings that walk this earth.

Weigh Up About Books A Chance for Charity (The Immortal Ones #1)
I picked this book out because it was free on Amazon. The writing is really sub-par, which is too bad because the story has potential. the dialogue is far too focused on exposition and not at all on realistic speech patterns. Some of the plot twists come out of nowhere and seemed more like the author was just writing what popped in her mind at any given moment rather than putting any effort into an outline or plan for the story.The characters were so...one-dimensional! Everyone had the same

A Chance for Charity was a beautifully crafted, well developed paranormal story. While the story falls under the young adult category, the characters themselves do not behave like naive teenagers because they are nothing of the sort. Although Charity (who currently goes by Emily) appears to be a seventeen-year-old, in reality she is in her nineties. She, and her companions, Catherine and James, are immortal ones. They never age and can heal themselves, but they can be murdered. Baum does a

Couldn't put it downThis book was full of everything humanly possible with the immortals, mortals, witches, shape shifters, and even vampires. What was happening to Charity and her family made the love between her and Linc that more powerful.

More of my reviews @ Reading 24x7A Chance For Charity is basically about Charity, who's an immortal. She lives with her made-up uncle and aunt who're also immortals. Several years ago, Charity was in love with a guy named Roger who died in a war. The death of her beau left Charity heart-broken, so much so, that she even tried to commit suicide but failed again and again since she was immortal and any injury automatically healed supernaturally fast. That was when Charity got to know that she was

Was this book bad? Maybe not. But it was so, so boring.So we have our main character, Emilya.k.a. Charitywho starts high school after moving to a new town. Already sounds familiar? She tries not to get too close to anyone, but quickly is accepted by a group of friends where no one has a hint of personality. Then she gets into some minor trouble that could easily have been avoided if she had been just a tiny bit smarter, and is saved byyou guessed itthe inevitable love interest.This already seems

So, I'm not much of a paranormal reader, but a girl needs to change it up once a while, so I did with Charity and Link.I have to say there are numerous awkward moments within this novel, that embarrassed even myself, and there are a few ... stretches, if I may call them that. I understand this being a paranormal novel where anything can happen, but c'mon ... -_-Regardless, I liked this story. I always believe that if a story isn't gonna blow you out of the water, it should at least be

Great story, rough writingThe story telling is great, but the lack of mastery of punctuation severely hindered my enjoyment. Examples of basic punctuation disorders include too many commas used as subject-predicate separators, missing commas before the name of a person being addressed ("Do you love?" instead of "Do you, love?" in the beginning of the sequel), commas instead of semicolons between clauses (creating innumerable run-on sentences, and the use of semicolons rather than colons. And
