Allison Sekemoto has vowed to rescue her creator, Kanin, who is being held hostage and tortured by the psychotic vampire Sarren. The call of blood leads her back to the beginning—New Covington and the Fringe, and a vampire prince who wants her dead yet may become her wary ally. Even as Allie faces shocking revelations and heartbreak like she’s never known, a new strain of the Red Lung virus that decimated humanity is rising to threaten human and vampire alike.
The ETERNITY CURE is not for the light-hearted,
that’s for sure. My heart stopped so many times while reading this it is a
wonder I never got dizzy. Allie is a kick-butt heroine who does a lot of
self-discovery in this book. Despite her being a vampire and attacking humans
for blood the way any other legitimate vampire would I always felt like Allie
always had her humanity intact. Allie took Kanin’s words to heart about choosing
what type of monster she wanted to become.
What
I had problems with…
The beginning of The Eternity Cure is slow.
Like, brain dead slow. At one point I was even tempted to skip ahead, that’s
how frustrated I was. But gosh, I am SO happy, I didn't stop reading there
because the second half of the book was so brilliantly woven , fast-paced, and
darn amazing that it completely made up for the beginning. So if you’re reading
this book and you’re wondering why nothing is going anywhere – keep going!
Trust me when I say it gets so much better
and you’ll be finishing the rest of it in a sitting like I did.
What
I loved…
Allie’s relationship with Zeke warmed my heart.
Sometimes I wish certain parts of the book were written in Zeke’s POV instead
because I often wonder what’s going on in his head. Jackel lightened the mood
of the story and though his comments were often crass and demeaning I found
myself agreeing with him when he actually had something sane to say. I love his
sister-brother relationship with Allie and am curious to see how that develops
in the next book.
AHHHHH
the ending…
My mind = blown. That’s all I have to say about
it. That and I need to read the next book as soon as humanely possible so I
could figure out what the heck is going on. ><
Overall
thoughts…
Put together action-packed fighting, psychotic vampires,
a crazy virus on the loose, delicious plot twists and you get the heart-pounding
sequel. Fans of The Immortal Rules do not want to miss The ETERNITY CURE.
On
a side note:
I think the cover model for Allie looks pretty
amazing! So glad they changed the cover!
