ELEVEN

I’ve spent my entire life being trapped and studied like the lab rat I was created to be.

Tortured, prodded, abused, I dreamed of freedom, but didn't believe I would truly find it.

I never thought my chance of getting away would come in the form of a sweet, little girl with secrets of her own.

ETTIE

I could hear his screams late at night when I was supposed to be sleeping. Each one of them marked me, scarring me on the inside, where no one could see… but me.

I hid my secrets, knowing what I was doing could get me in trouble. I only knew that I had to help him.

I loved him, even if I was too young to have him. I knew in my heart that someday he would be mine and I would be his.

I helped set him free, my beautiful soldier with the smoldering brown eyes and crooked smile.

But, when I needed him, he was nowhere to be found.

Now, he’s back, but dreams to a child are simplistic.

Things are different when you’re a woman and the man you’re in love with, have always been in love with, holds the power to completely destroy you.

Welcome to the world of the Eternals. Supernatural beings finding their way in a world they don’t belong to, yet have no choice but to live in. The only thing that might make it tolerable is one truth.

Somewhere out there, every single one of them has a true mate. Now, they won’t stop until they find them. Who knows? Maybe it could be you.

My Review:

This book brought me back to the beginning of paranormal romance vampire books! This is what I want to see more of in vampire romance books period. I want an interesting overall storyline and a relationship rearing its head in the midst of problems. This is what, I consider, ground zero for what vampire books have become today. 

Eleven was an interesting character in a harsh situation from the beginning. He was a mysterious character because no one besides the big bad actually knew much about him. It wasn't his own making and that just made it all the more intriguing. I'm hoping more tidbits from everyone's background will be sprinkled in future books of this series.

Ettie was an okay character. Considering my dislike of kids in novels, I actually thought she was more entertaining as one. As an adult, she made very poor decisions. Even when presented with option A or running and dying she has the gall to think she can run and not die. Did she not live through the nightmare child-her initially described or did I just hallucinate her backstory? Also, does she have a death wish?

The other guys make me think this series is going to be long and prosperous. This overall idea is reminiscent of the J. R. Ward's Black Dagger Brotherhood series but much more toned down, which I really enjoy!
