"Juliet Immortal" by Stacy Jay


The most tragic love story in history . . .

Juliet Capulet didn't take her own life. She was murdered by the person she trusted most, her new husband, Romeo Montague, a sacrifice made to ensure his own immortality. But what Romeo didn't anticipate was that Juliet would be granted eternity, as well, and would become an agent for the Ambassadors of Light. For 700 years, she's fought Romeo for the souls of true lovers, struggling to preserve romantic love and the lives of the innocent. Until the day she meets someone she's forbidden to love, and Romeo, oh Romeo, will do everything in his power to destroy that love.

"These violent delights have violent ends
And in their triumph die, like fire and powder,
Which as they kiss consume."
—Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare



WARNING:
If you have NOT yet read the book, stop reading. I WILL be spoiling!

I have mixed feelings about this book, and for the characters as well.
Juliet. I found her selfish. She wanted to be with Ben, but Ben and Gemma are ment to be soul mates  so Juliet can't love Ben. She needs to put Gemma and Ben back together. It was her job to put them together, but while she was doing it, she had a love for Ben. 
BUT THEN THERE'S A TWIST WHOA.

Okay, let's get on with the spoilers:
Turns out, Juliet wasn't sent to Ariel's body to put Gemma and Ben in a serious relationship...
She was sent for Gemma and Mike.
Let's be honest, Ben and Gemma were not ment to be, and I was happy to know that they were not getting together..

Haha, turns out, Romeo didn't kill Juliet... 
JULIET KILLED HERSELF.
Juliet died, Romeo got sad and played dead. Juliet came back to life and cried with grief, knowing that Romeo died for her to join her in afterlife. Juliet got a knife and killed herself...

Okay, I don't wanna give out to much.

4/5 Stars! I docked out a star only because of Juliet.

I'm doing a book review on it soon. And soon is February.
