Interpretation During Books Juliet Immortal (Juliet Immortal #1)
These violent delights have violent endsAnd in their triumph die, like fire and powder,
Which as they kiss consume.
-William Shakespeare,
ROMEO AND JULIET
Juliet Capulet didn't take her own life. She was murdered by the person she trusted most, her new husband, Romeo Montague, who made the sacrifice to ensure his own immortality. But Romeo didn't anticipate that Juliet would be granted eternal life as well, and would become an agent for the Ambassadors of Light.
For seven hundred years, Juliet has struggled to preserve romantic love and the lives of the innocent, while Romeo has fought for the dark side, seeking to destroy the human heart. Until now.
Now Juliet has found her own forbidden love, and Romeo, O Romeo, will do everything in his power to destroy their happiness.
Secrets unfold and surprises abound in Stacey Jay's powerfully dark romance, which reunites literature's most tragic couple.

Upon hearing about Juliet Immortal by Stacey Jay- which turns the famous tragic love story on its ear I was immediately desirous of it. I relished the notion of a kickass Juliet protecting true lovers and battling, rather than mooning over, an evil Romeo. I thought Juliet Immortal would be the novel for all those who had ever sacrificed everything for love only to find out theyve been cruelly played. Can you tell Im building up to a but? Juliet Immortal strove for that to some extent BUT fellQuantum Leap meets Match.comSo...this was a hard book to rate - some aspects of this story are great, but the bad stuff is really, REALLY bad.I love the whole idea of Romeo and Juliet being enemies. (view spoiler)[The scenes where they were trying to kill each other in the opening chapters were awesome! (hide spoiler)] Romeo was so very psychotic, I loved that. I liked Juliet's character for the most part as well - a girl betrayed by her former love, she is serious and driven and now lives only
Ill have to decide: join Romeo or let the specter of my soul take me. I know I should be afraid for my future, but all I can think about is Ben. This book mocks the original Juliet's weakness, only to have the newly improved Juliet just as fucking dumb as the original.So the original Shakespeare version, Juliet met Romeo, fell in love, and died for love within three days. In this retelling of Juliet's story, before this book starts, Juliet still ran away with Romeo, and then said Romeo stabbed
`~ Romeos song ~`There comes a time in every weird underweight scar-faced teenagers life when another soul inhabits her body and does a quick repair to her life. This may be also known as growing up to some, but to others this is called Juliet Immortal inhabiting your body to fight the forces of evil. WARNING. Long quote ahead. Read it or you wont get any dessert! He is a romantic, a dreamer, and never afraid to play the fool. He is fearless and reckless and brave and I love him for it.
I found this a really interesting concept. Juliet keeps going into bodies to help two soul mates to find each other. She has been doing it for 700 years. Romeo is on the other side and tries to take one of the soul mates to the dark side. This story is dark and creepy. I will say that Juliet drove me crazy at times. I read where several people hated the ending. I didn't mind it. I thought it made sense and set the story up for the second book. I think either you really like this story or you
This review can also be found on my blog: A Match Made in HeavenI really didnt expect to enjoy this as much as I did. I am usually not a fan of retellings. But this book was crazy intense! As you can probably guess from a book that deals with love and death. And all the supernatural elements were almost overwhelming in there awesomeness. It was one of the most surprisingly original books I have read in a long time. Just change the names from Romeo and Juliet to something else and you wouldnt
