5.0 out of 5 stars
A surprisingly good read, 2 Jun 2009
I bought this book because the blurb grabbed my attention. And I must say I wasn't disappointed at all.
Kerestyan, the hero, is a dark, brooding, 10,000 year old vampire. Logan, the heroine, running away from a tormented past, and has been living on the street for the last 15 years. She is a drug addict with no interest in life, and then she meets a vampire she finds intriguing, who is deciding if he's going to kill her, since her memories are packed with knowledge of vampires, which no human should have.
Given the choice of life (becoming a 'servio', servant to a vampire) or death (humans aren't suppose to know about them), Logan, basically doesn't care one way or the other if she lives or dies, so with a shrug, leaves her fate in Kerestyan's hand.
He is intrigued by her and so he takes her to his home. Her future is then decided for her and her immortal life begins.
Kerestyn, soon falls for her, but the shell Logan built around her is too hard to let him in, even though she thinks he's okay.
Layer by layer, Kerestyn peels it away and she starts to feel again.
What I liked about this book is that it's so different from the usual PNR's I've been reading lately. I liked Logan, she is a drug addict, doesn't care what anyone says about her and can laugh at herself. And she doesn't fall immediately in love with the gorgeous hero, who is the total opposite of her. In fact he does all the running, a theme I definitely like.
Logan, later starts to realize she has feeling for him.
Kerestyn, knows she cares but he wants her love. Knowing time is what she needs, makes a promise to himself, he'd give her time. Two hundred years should do it, after all he is a patient man, if it means getting what he wants :)
I loved this book, it was fresh, well-written and the love scenes are hot. Enjoyed the humor too.
Wish it was longer though.
I look forwards to the following books in this series, 'ETERNAL HEARTS', 'ETERNAL EMBRACE' and ETERNAL DESIRES.
