Book Two in The Eternal Forever series by Andrew Allen Smith has arrived, and it was well worth the wait! I read this book in just two days, so overpowered by the characters and the intrigue of what might come next, I could not allow its release on my imagination for any longer than it took to eat and sleep.
Morgan has survived for thousands of years alone, devastated by heartbreak and cautioned by the realization that having a social conscience can be a liability. A woman of remarkable tenacity and a low tolerance for stupidity, her story is conceived by a strong passion, born of both love and anger, and the people she trusts enough to allow into her inner circle.
This book is filled with the intoxication of lust, the contentment of satiating anger with finality, and the desire for something more to sustain sanity. Morgan is a compelling story that forces readers to ignore all their daily responsibilities and dive deep into its pages, enduring the tsunami of an intriguing new relationship, the boundaries of acceptability, and the satisfaction of punishing those who toy with the near-holy sacrament of loyalty. This is not a gentle love story. This is a stunning all-access pass to the things we don’t like to admit we feel, and the satisfaction we derive from the realities of consequences.
Andrew’s blend of tension, dark comedic levity, and dialogue that honestly reflects his characters' nuances is spectacular. The confluence of the intimacy of love and anger, and the motivations built on selfish desire is a dish served hot, never lukewarm. Andrew’s tactile scenes and connectivity to all the reader’s senses add layers of excitement at each turn of the page.
I particularly enjoyed the callbacks to Adam, the first book in the series, as well as a few other “Easter Eggs.” Still, readers who are new to this series will not feel lost if they read Morgan first. If this book is your introduction to The Eternal Forever, I guarantee that Morgan will entice you to read Adam. No matter the order in which you read them, you’ll be hooked on a story that’s older than time, yet incredibly relevant to the modern era. The anticipation of the next page will supersede all the rules you have about reading a series.
You can be sure I’ll be on the lookout for Book Three!
