Fans of Maggie Stiefvater's Shiver and Becca Fitzpatrick's Hush will relish this intense paranormal love story featuring Romeo and Juliet, literary history's most tragic couple, who meet again, not as true lovers, but truly as enemies.

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

Praise for Juliet Immortal

"The romance is intense, and so is the horror in this strong reversal of the Romeo and Juliet story, set in contemporary California and very different from the usual retelling of Shakespeare's star-crossed lovers. . . . Teens will enjoy the macabre fantasy story of forbidden love, especially since it is set in the contemporary world of cell phones, texting, and hidden cameras, and many teens will recognize the timeless feeling that kissing is 'wicked and perfect'."--Booklist

"The twist ending should offer readers some genuine surprises, and . . . readers may hope that the higher powers aren't done with Juliet yet."--The Bulletin, Recommended
