Mini Review: The Eternity Cure by Julie Kagawa

The Eternity Cure

Blood of Eden #2
Julie Kagawa

In Allison Sekemoto's world, there is one rule left: Blood calls to blood 

She has done the unthinkable: died so that she might continue to live. Cast out of Eden and separated from the boy she dared to love, Allie will follow the call of blood to save her creator, Kanin, from the psychotic vampire Sarren. But when the trail leads to Allie's birthplace in New Covington, what Allie finds there will change the world forever—and possibly end human and vampire existence. 

There's a new plague on the rise, a strain of the Red Lung virus that wiped out most of humanity generations ago—and this strain is deadly to humans and vampires alike. The only hope for a cure lies in the secrets Kanin carries, if Allie can get to him in time. 

Allison thought that immortality was forever. But now, with eternity itself hanging in the balance, the lines between human and monster will blur even further, and Allie must face another choice she could never have imagined having to make.

I made a good decision when I decided not to read The Eternity Cure when it came out. Thank God I did because when I finished reading and after screaming for a good few minutes, I wouldn't have been able to wait for a year for the last book, The Forever Song, to come out.

The beginning was slow as Allie narrated what happened in the first book and what's happening now. I was waiting for the cinematic feel that I got when I read the first book. I should have known Kagawa's formula with her books - you'd get a slow burn in the beginning but as the story hits that bump in the middle then everything you've been praying for comes at you in 3D and would leave you gasping.

Now, let me go watch something to calm my heart first before I start with The Forever Song.
