review:
'The Eternity Cure' is book two in the Blood of Eden series by Julie Kagawa. You will need to start with book one or you'll be lost. It's an interesting post-apocalyptic world filled with zombies and vampires and humans who have to make tough choices. Spoilers for the first book will follow.
Vampire Allison Sekemoto, or Allie, finds herself allied with her hated "blood brother" Jackal to try to save the vampire that made them vampires. He's captured and in pain, and Allie dreams about it. It means going back to Allie's old stomping grounds of New Covington, a place she hasn't been to as a vampire. There they find evil vampire Sarren has unleashed a plague to kill off the remaining humans. He's supposed to have a cure, so in order to save their sire, they need to track down and stop Sarren. If they can't do it, the entire world may end, as humans become infected and vampires starve.
It's a second book, but it doesn't suffer from the usual second book things. There is enough action to keep things going, but there are those horrible moments that happen towards the end to keep readers moving on to the next book. The good news is that it's out now, so the nailbiting time will be short.
It's a YA book, so it's got the requisite angsty love story elements, which are not my thing, but weren't so cloyingly annoying that they stopped me from reading. Kagawa is a good author and knows how to build a credible world and characters to populate it. I enjoyed it.
I received a review copy of this ebook from Harlequin Teen and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this ebook.
