Like the first book, Anatomy: A Love Story, I listened to the audiobook on Libby. So first I would like to say that I think Mhairi Morrison should read every single audio book ever recorded. She may have ruined me for any other reader.
I enjoyed the book itself, the only drawback being the many storylines that could have been explored better or more deeply if they were in their own book instead of competing with each other.
I'm not a fan of romance novels, typically, but even with the introduction of a second love interest (who I preferred over the original, sorry) the romance wasn't overbearing and or distracting from the other plots.

My second great novel from Dana Schwartz! History mixed in with the imaginative story of a social club whose members have the secret of living forever. Fascinating story from the creator of the Noble Blood podcast.

“My heart is yours,” he said. “Beating or still.”
I originally read Anatomy: A Love Story earlier this year at the behest of instagrams algorithm. I wasn’t disappointed. I’m normally not one for historical romance or mystery, but that book kept me enticed reading Hazel and Jacks story/stories.
I felt as though this book followed more along the lines of me not getting in to a historical fiction book like I’d normally guess. I also have a somewhat difficult time with romance that isn’t really romance?
It took me a lot of effort and time to get through the first 60% of the book because there’s just a lot to unpack when there doesn’t necessarily need to be? Secret societies, false murder accusations, deaths, non-deaths/fake deaths, random attempted murder. It’s just a lot, but again it could just be because of my preferences as Dana is an incredible writer.
Dana Schwartz is a fantastic author and I would love to see more of their works in different book settings.

I was lucky enough to receive an ARC of this book! What a fun continuation of Anatomy: A Love Story. As an avid listener of her Noble Blood podcast, I can tell Schwartz had so much fun messing with the history of the era. I had the best time reading Hazel's newest adventure! SPOILERS BELOW***** REALLY, DANA!? You just had to make Jack a swashbuckling maritime hero with an eyepatch??? As if I couldn't love him more??? Hell yes. Princess Charlotte and Eliza 5ever. I am totally available if Dr. Ferris needs a shoulder to cry on.

First, this review is really more for both of the books combined. I SUPER enjoyed these stories. As much of a sucker as I am for anatomy and physiology stuff, and lady doctors in history, these were right up my alley.
I LOVED Hazel and Jack. They were adorable! And I really loved their connection. His support of her was unwavering and we love to see it.
I also appreciated the twists in the second novel, a different lens through which to look at history, especially the Companions, and I enjoyed it thoroughly.

3.8. Satisfying end to the Duology. A delightful Victorian twist to When Death Becomes Her.

Following in the footsteps of it's predecessor, Immortality: A Love Story was a sequel that definitely lived up to its hype. I loved the small nuances and cultural and feminist commentary of this duology, especially in the second book. The story had so many rich narrative plot points and our heroine goes through so much as the tale progresses, meeting new people and becoming reacquainted with familiar faces and finding herself in sometimes harrowing predicaments. This is a delightful feminist novel that I would recommend to Young Adult and Adult audiences who are interested in historical romances, mysteries, and thrilling tales.
