REVIEW - The Immortal Tailor by Mimi Jean Pamfiloff


The Book
Release Date: 30 August 2022

From New York Times bestselling author Mimi Jean Pamfiloff comes a new immortal series filled with dark humor, angst, and a brooding hero who loves a good tweed: The Immortal Tailor.

THE IMMORTAL WORLD IS IN TROUBLE, AND THE GODS DEMAND . . . THEIR TAILOR COME TO THE RESCUE?

Long ago, Damien Greystone hung up his guns, knives, and rope for the quiet life of a tailor. Sure, his clients now include the likes of bloodthirsty vampires, a hair-obsessed Bigfoot, and fourteen insane deities, but at least Damien doesn’t have to kill anymore. And, sure, he’s been cursed to live alone for all eternity, but nobody’s life is perfect. Right? 

Unfortunately, his monk-like existence is about to come to a screeching halt. The gods’ powers are on the fritz, and they’re demanding his help. 

But when Damien starts investigating, he meets Sky Morales, a beautiful journalist who’s up to her ears in danger (and one very aggressive fairy). He has no choice but to dust off his weapons. 

Can he protect her without getting too close? Because his “curse of solitude” doesn’t negotiate, and bad things will happen to Sky if he so much as feels a flutter of affection. 

And as if that pressure weren’t enough, his precious store is being looked after by a love-sucking demon and a punk chick who has a knack for insulting everyone. Bigfoot isn’t pleased. 

The sooner Damien can get this job done, the faster he can get back to his peaceful life. If only he weren’t enjoying getting his hands dirty again. Just like the good old days that got him in trouble.

My Review    5 STARS
**My thanks to the author for providing me with a free copy for an honest review**

This book is the epic start of a new series by the author, it is also a spin off from another series, so we get to see one character, Cimil is her nutty way and hear of a few others.

Damien Graystone is an immortal tailor and likes his quite structures world as it helps him keep the darkness that he carries hidden and him in control.

That is shattered when Cimil appears and asks him to so a job for her and his quiet world is upended when he meets Sky.  Events lead to his quiet life acquiring quests in his home that he does not want and the emergence of his darker side as he follows the trail of the path Cimil sent him on.

We find out how he got his curse, what the darkness is within him and of course exciting events that lead us to the Tailor having no choice but to accept the job that Cimil wants him to have at the end with two new partners, which sets us all up for some fun reading in future books.

I simply cannot wait to see how this story progresses and what is going to happen to the immortal world.
