Broken Ice
(2019)(The first book in the Immortal Operative series)
A novel by Matthew S Cox and J R Rain
The first book in the new paranormal spy series, by #1 bestselling authors, J.R. Rain and Matthew S. Cox!
Mina Barrett is the CIA's best defense against the Dominion. She's young, charming, intelligent, motivated... and she's a vampire.
Twenty years ago, vampires revealed themselves to the world. Society hadn't expected them to be real at all, much less a species entirely separate from humans. The government feared hostile foreign powers would also seek to exploit their psychic talents, and put out a call for recruitment.
After a childhood spent in isolation, Mina saw a chance for adventure and signed on the dotted line. Unlike the Dominion, she doesn't feel humans are inferior creatures and works to stop others of her kind from enslaving them.
A deep cover asset discovers information that vampires want to keep out of human hands. The CIA sends Mina in to bring him - and his information - out alive. But the Dominion has their sights set on the secrets buried for centuries beneath a Siberian glacier... secrets that could reshape the world.
"The story is a nice mix of urban fantasy themes but does not get mired in the same old boring vampire rolls. Yes, this is a vampire book, but it brings enough new and/or underused ideas to the table that it is refreshing. The character development is well done, and we get a good insight into the main characters in the shorter length if this novel. The book is around 200 pages and moves along quickly with very little material that I would consider superfluous." - Amazon reviewer
"Broken Ice had a very savvy, intelligent female protagonist. From the opening chapters, the storyline is riveting, and the action non-stop, as Mina moves from assignment to assignment as an undercover operative. Interesting worldbuilding." - Amazon reviewer
"Catches you at the start and leaves you wanting more. Get it you will LOVE IT!!" - Amazon reviewer
"This is a fresh new take on Vampire fiction and it really hooked me! I love the world and the characters so much I truly can't wait to read more of this series! Or even this world!" - Amazon reviewer
"Great new series about a feisty vampire who works for the CIA, her human colleague/boyfriend and an older sister who is a spy for the bad guys. Great read. Looking forward to the next book." - Amazon reviewer
