Description:
Seanna Raines is on a journey of self-discovery. Only her search does
not include college applications or finding a cool summer job. After
killing Samuel Bolvayne, the ‘man’ she fears and loves, Seanna is not
looking for who she is, but rather what she will become.
Samuel spent countless lifetimes trying to forge a companion like himself, but his previous attempts were considered failures. Until Seanna. She is his first true success… and his ultimate undoing. Now, without Samuel to guide her, Seanna is lost. To survive, she needs to find out what her transformation means: super strength, the ability to smell human emotions, and an ever-increasing need to devour human souls. Seanna travels to Samuel’s earthly homeland, along the coast of South Africa, in search of answers. Here, she encounters several of his failed experiments, who claim to know the truth. These abominations lead her into a sinister world of chaos and destruction, where the birthplace of evil is revealed.
Seanna clings to the last piece of her humanity while struggling to accept her feelings for Samuel and what she has done to him. Just as Seanna embraces her fate, she is forced to choose between life as an immortal with the one she loves or sacrifice it all to save a world that does not deserve saving.
This book was truly intriguing and had me captivated from the very first paragraph. The plot behind the story was incredibly unique and I loved getting to know as much as I could about the characters, their histories and back stories, and the strange places and happenings surrounding them. The author wrote with such great descriptions and vivid details that I could easily imagine myself right beside Seanna throughout the book. Seanna was a great main character. She's very realistic - confused, insecure, lost, heartbroken and torn between two choices that have the power to change everything. On top of these things, she also struggles to understand her transformation and the various powers she possesses. I easily identified and empathized with her early on in the book and rooted for her until the end. The plot was really fresh and fascinating. The book has a fast pace and a natural flow that had me immersed in the story almost immediately. I'm eager to see what will happen in the next book and definitely recommend this series to fans of horror and dark fantasy fiction.
Sandra R. Campbell lives along the tranquil waters of the
Chesapeake Bay with her new husband and weight challenged cat. She
can trace her passion for the macabre back to reading Edgar Allen Poe as
a child, with her pet crow, Big Fellow, by her side. She has
since submerged herself in a wide range of dark literature. An avid
thrill seeker, Sandra is always looking for her next big adrenaline
rush, and when spelunking, climbing, diving and monster hunting fails to
deliver, she turns to the creation of through-the-rabbit-hole worlds
and sends her characters on their own adventures. Her first NA
paranormal thriller, Butterfly Harvest, was published in September
2010. Sandra also writes children’s stories, is an active member of the
Maryland Writers’ Association and the head of a MWA critique group.
