Download As PDF : Immortal Bound The Apsara Chronicles #1 eBook TG Ayer 
Against the rising horde of the underworld, the Gods have one weapon Vee Shankar. Special Agent. Supernatural CSI.
Beneath New York’s cosmopolitan veneer lies a darker truth—a concrete jungle of the supernatural kind. But humanity is protected, their souls guarded by powerful ancient Gods.
Vee deals in death—demons, evil spirits, possessions, and even the odd rogue God or two. But Vee’s power to read life essences is both a gift and a curse. She’s a Warrior of the Gods, but she’s also in the crosshairs of powerful demonic forces. And from the shadows, dark things come, dogging her every step, threatening her every move.
Vee doesn’t know it, but her power means more than just a quirk of her DNA. Her true identity is a secret better left untold. But as both her alliance with a mystery informant and her strange powers grow, Vee must confront a truth that will make her question her very existence.
Before all hell breaks loose.
Literally.
Immortal Bound The Apsara Chronicles #1 eBook TG Ayer
I love urban fantasy, and TG Ayer is quickly becoming one of my favorite UF authors. Her Valkyrie series (which begins with Dead Radiance is a great take on Norse lore, and Dark Sight is a promising beginning to her Daughter of Pythia series, grounded in Greek mythology. Likewise, Immortal Bound, the first book in her Apsara Chronicles, gets this series off to a solid start.I was already familiar with both Norse and Greek pantheons and legends before reading the aforementioned books, but this was my first experience with anything involving the Hindu gods and their stories. I have to admit that I was a bit concerned at first about how well I'd be able to keep up with both a whole new cast of characters and a new-to-me cosmic order to boot, but Ms Ayer did a nice job of having her characters provide enough information to foster a basic understanding without resorting to the kind of expository infodumps that can kill the momentum of a story.
As I've come to expect from Ms Ayer's books, the central characters are well developed, relatable, and grow nicely over the course of the story. I especially liked how the relationship between the mother and daughter evolved over the course of events. As for the story itself, there were a couple of plot points that were a rather predictable, but it contained enough twists and turns to keep things interesting, and wraps things up nicely while still leaving plenty of room for more adventures.
The only real complaint I have with the book is a technical one - in one place there is a reference to an object that wasn't actually introduced until a few chapters later, which I found terribly confusing. That technical issue aside, however, I really enjoyed the story and am eager to read the next installment.

Immortal Bound The Apsara Chronicles #1 eBook TG Ayer Reviews
TG Ayer really is an incredibly talented author and I've a strong hunch that the Apsara Chronicles will be her masterpiece. She's already shown in other series that she can write wonderful mashups of Greek and Norse mythology with urban fantasy. Others have done that to varying degrees (though usually with less success). Now she's taken on a true challenge (as it will involve something most readers won't be familiar with) an Indian mythology urban fantasy. From my perspective, as someone who travels to India fairly often for business reasons, such an urban fantasy if done well is long overdue. Based on the excellence of this book 1, Immortal Bound, I'm sure that test will be met.
I'm not going to do a plot summary, as others have done it well, but I will note that I love the heroine of this book, Vee, an apsara (an Indian mythological nymph). Her ability to see auras and reconstruct crime scenes after the fact is perfectly suited for the job she is intruduced in, that of a sort of CSI specialist working for the US FBI. Gotta love it - and gotta love the well crafted supporting cast of characters and well written plot in this book too. Frankly, there's lots to love in this book and I'm fully expecting the same from the series to come, which I will be eagerly awaiting.
Namaste TG Ayer, and thank you for this.
Highly recommended.
PS I voluntarily read an advanced reader copy of this book. I've done this before and have no problem giving a poor rating if deserved. As you can tell, in my opinion this book is (quite winderfully) just the opposite and very worthy of accolades.
I voluntarily reviewed an advanced reader copy of this book and boy am I glad that I did. When I first started this story I really wasn't sure if I would like the story even though I love the authors other books that I have read. It was the first few chapters that I wasn't sold on but the main reason I read of this book the more I loved it and the more addicted I became to the story and what the outcome would be and the more I read the more the characters became alive in my heart and mind they became.
The thing that I loved most about this fact is that the deities and mythology within this book is not something that I have seen written in many novels and it gives a fresh and revitalising feeling to a story and I loved that and I would love to more about this mythology and the customs and deities involved it in. Apart from that part of it the storyline in this book is non stop action and that's another amazing thing to read about, there are so many thrilling and exciting aspects to this story!!! I am dying to read the next book!!!
I love that the Gods and Goddesses in this book are not fiction and abstract, you encounter them and you see both harsh and the kinder sides of them, both parts of them. Vee is an exciting character to read about, I love her strength and stubbornness, her inner fire that makes her so strong! She is able to push her insecurities to the side so you do see the softer side of her but you also see no matter the situation she is in, she is able to stay strong and true to who she is. There are so many characters I could mention about this book, it is filled with amazing readable characters! Want to know more? You need to read this book and that is something I would highly recommend, it is a brilliant book written by an extremely talented author. I only gave this book a four star rating instead of a five because it took me a while in the beginning to get into it.
Gods, Demons, Shifters and other strange things. a great read.
The proofreading errors have gotten so bad they make some sentences and paragraphs unreadable. This dumps you out of the story in a hurry. These errors, in this number, are relatively new to T. G's books, at least on kindles app.
