My Review
(Originally Reviewed on Mrs. Papillion aka “The Book Worm”)
I borrowed this book from the Library and had to wait a little while for it…but it was worth the wait. I loved the first two books in the series, Betrayal, and Immortal. This book “Eternal” was about Sarah instead of Evie this time. I have to say…I was a little skeptical at first, but Sarah grew on me in this book. The poor girl went through a lot. I’m glad I got to see her perspective. She went through almost losing both of her best friends to the evil that was still running around Wyldcliffe Abbey, to gaining knowledge from her ancestors to conquering the fear she had and beating the witches.
She also gained more friendship and love in this book. The description of the book above from Goodreads pretty much sums up the perfect description of the book and should draw in anyone to read it.
I will tell you that I was getting upset at Evie’s character in this book. The girl still hadn’t gotten over Sebastian, and she ended up getting in the worst scenarios. I just wanted to go through the book and slap her silly to wake her up.
I’m looking forward to reading the next book, “Destiny.” I think she’s going to write in Helen’s perspective next. She also has to complete what she started with the annoying character who showed up and was destroying all the girls at the Abbey and trying to influence them into doing things they weren’t supposed to be doing.
All and all I loved this book, and I would recommend it to anyone who likes reading YA and about witches.
Owner/Reviewer at A Book Lovin' Mama's Blog
I guess I should type a bio here. I'm FranJessca, or Fran for short. I'm the owner/reviewer behind A Book Lovin' Mama's Blog. I've been reading and reviewing books on my blog since leaving the Navy in 2011, and I will keep doing it as long as possible. My favorite genres will always be Romance & Fantasy, and I read every subgenre underneath those two genres. (Sorry, not a fan of nonfiction, so don't try to convince me to read it.)
My obsession with reading started over 30+ years ago when I went to my first Scholastic Book Fair and found R.L. Stine's Fear Street series. Later, I came across Anne Rice's novels at my public library when I was fourteen when my obsession with vampires started. I was the girl who preferred to be a vampire over a princess any day. My husband says I would leave him a heartbeat for a vampire that looked like Spike or Angel (from Buffy the Vampire Slayer) or Damon Salvatore from The Vampire Diaries. (It's true, though, and he's accepted it.)
