Eternal Starling by Angela Corbett

Eternal Starling (Emblem of Eternity Trilogy, #1)

by Angela Corbett

A love so strong, even eternity can't separate them. Evie Starling has lived a relatively uneventful life hanging out with friends, gossiping about boys, and driving her 1966 Mustang.

All of that changes when she moves to Gunnison, Colorado, to start college and meets two mysterious men. For centuries, Alex Night and Emil Stone have yearned for Evie, but they each have their own reasons for wanting to be with her. When both men claim to be her soul mate and tell her about an unbelievable past, Evie learns that she's not the person she thought she was. Soon, Evie finds herself in the middle of an age-old battle between the Amaranthine Society the soul protectors, and the Daevos Resistance the soul destroyers. With a past she doesn't understand, and a future rife with danger, Evie has to decide who she can trust. But Alex and Emil aren't the only ones who want Evie, and her soul is about to become the rope in an eternal tug-of-war.

Intriguing and heart-stopping powerful, Eternal Starling, is a beautiful written love story with a paranormal twist and a fresh new spin on reincarnation that will wow and captivate anyone. If you're craving a paranormal romance novel that has love and destiny written all over it, then this is the perfect book for you to sink into. There are thrilling twists and turns that you won't see coming. It's a fantastical story full of dark and dangerous things, that is sure to give you a thrill. Evie is an incredibly strong character, that isn't dependent or weak in any capacity. She's a definitely a breath of fresh air and an enjoyable character to get to know.

Angela Corbett's fresh re-take on soul mates is beautifully written and wonderfully fleshed out. She gives it a unique new spin, that makes it different, new, and exciting to read. It's full of sorching hot, and intense sexual chemistry that will leave you aching for more. The love triangle isn't overly done and blends in nicely with the flow of the rest of the story. Both Alex and Emil are wonderfully flawed and complex characters, definitely complicated as well. It's hard to tell who's right and wrong for Evie, because of the past that they each have tied with one another. Corbett does a great job of writing these two and the love they have for Evie in such a way, that there isn't a right or wrong choice where either of them are concerned.

Eternal Starling is definitely a love triangle done right!

Full of lost loves re-united with one another and fighting against darkness, it's a dark beguiling look into such a beautiful mythical world. Corbett does a magnificent job of developing the backstory of the Amaranthine and Daevos Resistance. It's an age-old battle between the Amaranthine Society the soul protectors and the Daevos Resistance the soul destroyers. Her writing style is highly addictive, laugh-out-loud funny, hilariously sarcastic, and witty. You will find yourself falling in love with the world she's created and the character's she's developed beautifully.

Eternal Starling offers reader's a glimpse at a new take on eternal love, which makes it even more enjoyable. I would highly recommend this book to you, if you're looking for a New Adult paranormal romance that will take your emotions for a whirlwind ride and leave you hanging on the edge of your seat, in anticipation of the next new novel in this epic series.
