I won this book back in January during a Giveaway on the fuonlyknew blog. I would like to thank Laura Thomas, Ella Medler and K. S. Haigwood for offering the book. I had seen the book around, how could I miss it with the awesome cover. I just knew there was paranormal activity going on between the “pages” and could hardly wait to get my hands on it. Needless to say, I was not disappointed.
Be sure and look for the Giveaway at the end of the post. One lucky commenter will win an ebook copy of Eternal Island Book I and the just released Eternal Immortality, Book II.
Eternal Island by K. S. Haigwood and Ella Medler
Rainey, a psychic and right hand to Abe, told him there was more bad news. To him it seemed that was all he ever got from her. Rainey told him he would meet his soul mate and she would be human. He was the the vampire king, so it was impossible for him to hook up with a human.
She pulled out the crystal ball and he laughed. It was so cliche. She warned him, don’t look into the ball unless you are prepared to fall in love. Him? Was she crazy? But when he looked into it………….
It was instant love. Ariana. He knew he could not live without her. Rainey would go get her and she would leave now.
Rainey woke Ariana and explained to her about Eternal Island. She used her powers to keep her calm as she talked to her. She thought it best not to tell her about Abe. Ariana agreed to come. What did she have to lose?
Ariana had been in a coma for eight weeks. She had no memory of how she came to be there or who she was. She had a vision about her and Abe. Not so good, considering he was a vampire.
Once on the plane with Rainey, she began to think she might have made a mistake, trusting a witch.
When Rainey made the island appear in the empty ocean, Ariana asked ,
“This witchy stuff. Is it something you learn, or something you’re born with? Can you teach me?”
They landed and Ariana saw the car, a Lotus. Rainey said she may give it to her, she was ready for a new car and asked if she wanted to drive it. Ariana could hardly contain her excitement.
“Are you freaking serious? Hell yeah, I wanna drive.”
As they drive off, I can’t help but wonder what will become of Ariana. She has no memory, going to a place with witches, vampires, and who knows what else. Will she reciprocate Abe’s love and live happily ever after? Will a malevolent evil make her life a living hell?
5 STARS – Would Buy It For Them (lol)
I saw the cover, and thought this would be a great book. I was right.
It was well written and I loved the “tone” of the writing. I loved the humorous, sarcastic dialogue. Did some of Ella’s and K. S.’s personality leak onto the “pages”?
Most vampire books can be pretty heavy, know what I mean? But this was light-hearted and fun to read. More than once I caught myself smiling or laughing. An original concept and a departure from the norm. I always like that.
I love fast cars, so it always catches my attention when a hot one is mentioned. When you read the book, you will see why they loved driving.
Abe – vampire, like a baby learning to deal with feelings and emotions, confusing him. High vampire. “finer than frog hair”
Ariana- persuasive, smart, intuitive, beautiful, strongest witch, powerful healer. Do what she wants. Dream walker, “super witch” .
Rainey – witch, visions, Abe’s right hand. Professor. Teaches magic, potion making.
“she finally met a hot guy and he’s only in dreams, that figures. “
Rainery – “I’ve always wanted to read other peoples minds. but after hearing your thoughts I dont think I want to any more.”
The depth of Abe’s love was amazing. To hear a Vampire describe his feelings like that was a nice twist for the genre.
“How the hell could he have a broken heart when his his heart hadn’t beaten in hundreds of years?”
Abe – “I love you Ariana. Fall and Ill catch you”
I thought it was great that Ariana’s human friends were included. Bringing the normal, outside world into the fantasy world, made the story seem more realistic. The characters captured me, as if they were real people. They sure did act like it.
I think we all have a vague idea about the way this will end, but the journey getting there is well worth the time. No waiting for Book II. It is scheduled for release on May 10, 2013.
ABOUT THE AUTHORS
Ella Medler
I live in Cornwall with my husband and our two teenage daughters who regularly threaten to never leave home (must be my cooking).
Together, we care for a large assortment of pets, some small enough to fit in a fish tank, and some capable of causing you significant injury on impact.
I was born in Transylvania but got chucked out due to my inability to grow fangs and reluctance to sleep in coffins. I studied economics to masters level, and qualified with 93.5% (damn good, considering I really wasn’t interested). I wanted to be an archaeologist, travel the world, scrape around in mud and live in squalor. Unfortunately, my mother won that argument, and so, after refusing a teaching post (I never did like school), I started work in business development consultancy roles, where I met my husband, the lucky so and so.
The rest is history. If you’re reading this, you already know the end of the story.
