"I smelled blood as soon as I walked into the room..."
From the first line of this amazingly written novel, I was sucked into this deep, darkly rich, and gritty world full of bloody violence, emotional twists, and epic turns that are completely unexpected. To say that this novel was vividly enthralling, would be a complete understatement. It comes alive in gruesome detail and sucks you into the world. Right off the bat, the feel for this novel and the tension, is elevated to a higher level than in her previous novel The Immortal Rules.
This is a dark gruesome story that will break you in so many ways and leave you craving more. It's just as powerfully emotional as it is violent. Rife with despair and heartache, it's also filled with hope and love. The bond between Allison and Kanin is incredibly touching and fantastic to read about. Sarren is just as sinister and truly evil as any villian in a post-apocalyptic novel should be. Jackal is such an amazing comedic addition to this novel. He has pitch perfect timing, in an otherwise bleak and dreary story. Funny and amazing, this is definitely a character that you won't be forgetting any time soon.
Dangerous and sexy. Full of intense action and a dark grizzly outlook on life, The Eternity Cure, is one of the best written paranormal young adult vampire novels this year! You'll fall deeper in love with the characters, the journey that each of them takes, and the struggles they endure. It's complex and complicated. Old characters will come back unexpectedly, new characters and adventures will fill the pages with amazing new things for this saga to offer readers. There is nothing like this series in the young adult market these days. Julie Kagawa has created a powerhouse trilogy that is sure to wow and captivate fans of the dystopia and paranormal genre for years to come.
