How do you face the end of eternity?
In Allison Sekemoto's world, there
is one rule left: Blood calls to blood.
She has done the unthinkable: died
so that she might continue to live. Cast out of Eden and separated from the boy
she dared to love, Allie will follow the call of blood to save her creator,
Kanin, from the psychotic vampire Sarren. But when the trail leads to Allie's
birthplace in New Covington, what Allie finds there will change the world
forever-and possibly end human and vampire existence.
There's a new plague on the rise, a
strain of the Red Lung virus that wiped out most of humanity generations ago-and
this strain is deadly to humans and vampires alike. The only hope for a cure
lies in the secrets Kanin carries, if Allie can get to him in time.
Allison thought that immortality was
forever. But now, with eternity itself hanging in the balance, the lines
between human and monster will blur even further, and Allie must face another
choice she could never have imagined having to make.

Review:
I absolutely LOVE Julie Kagawa! She takes a popular and well known
genre, and weaves a new and inventive web of paranormal and dystopian
awesomeness! The Blood of Eden series
completely captivated me from the minute I started The Immortal Rules to the last sentence that left me craving more
of Allie and her crazy world. Much like in her Iron Fey series, Julie has developed an amazingly strong and
appealing female heroine who makes you proud. Allie is a character full of
depth and passion and determination, and The
Eternity Cure delves into these characteristics and explores the struggle between
her humanity and the monster within.
This
sequel took me places I didn’t expect, yet also left me hungry for more of the
unexpected. With Julie, I never know
what to expect next, but The Eternity
Cure took that expectation to the next level. We get to know existing
characters better, meet new characters, and even have some surprises that
might, if you’re like me, make you want to snap the little mongrel’s neck! And
then, of course, there’s a colossal cliff-hanger that left me thinking…. “No! I
can’t wait another year to know what’s going to happen!” And left my husband
concerned as I covertly, or so I thought, talked through all the things that
could possibly happen in book 3 while in the shower. I’m still considering all
this as I sit here writing this review too. I know Julie couldn’t possibly let
me down. She never has before, and I expect book 3 to completely blow me away
just like books 1 and 2.
So,
as I patiently (yea right!) wait for book 3, I will consider what could
possibly happen to Allie. Or actually, I will most likely try to distract
myself and re-read The Immortal Rules and
The Eternity Cure. If you like
supernatural, paranormal and/or dystopians, you should definitely pick up the
fresh and enticing twist of a series. You won’t be disappointed… in fact, you’ll
just hunger for more!
