Book Reviews of Eternal Seduction
Book Review: A breath of fresh air in a tired genre
Summary: 4 Stars
I love dark paranormal urban fantasy or "realistic fantasy." Ms. Turner delivers up a story that touches of things most of us don't like to think of: the addicted homeless who live their sad lives day after day, and for whom there's no (or little) happy endings. Our heroine is addicted to heroin, and has lived on the streets for 10 years. She's detached from the rest of humanity, and does the best she can to stay alive. She's smart and cynical, and unlike most smarmy paranormal fiction doesn't find a cure-all when she meets the handsome, sexy, and lonely vampire who finds her intriguing. As other reviewers have commented, he does all the running, and she remains distant but a bit intrigued as well. My favorite kind of story!
The unique spin on this familiar story and the well-developed characters made this a book I couldn't put down. On that basis I'd have given it a 5-star rating, but there were a couple of things that held me back. This book focused mostly on the characters initially, a good half to two-thirds of the book moving fairly slowly through the changes that both characters go through after they meet each other. This would have been fine with me, but almost as if an editor had ordered "Put some conflict in this thing!" a 'conflict' appears toward the end that felt a bit contrived. Not to mention a bit silly - frankly I wasn't sure what all the flap was about and everyone's reaction to the supposed betrayal seemed over the top compared to what had actually happened. So this was an awkward point for me.
I also thought that while a druggie heroine was a daring and disturbing plot point, some realism was sacrificed to make it more palatable to mainstream readers. My bottom line is a 4.5 star rating, which translates into a 4.0 since we don't get to award half-stars!
I'm looking forward to reading the other books in this series. I hope that they pick up with Logan and Kerestyan's story, because the ending in this book left a lot of territory to be explored. A guy who's lived for 10k years and a gal who's spent most of her life in trouble of one kind or another really deserves more coverage than just one book! And the secondary characters are delicious - definitely want more of them! Especially Big Daddy Vampire Stefan... If you like darker books that don't follow a cookie-cutter formula, give this one a try.
