The Eternal Gift: The Eternal Series Vol. 1

"The Eternal Gift is riveting and entertaining, with non-stop action. The characters are well formed and believable. The story pulls you into the lives of these characters and takes you on a non-stop roller-coaster ride. I finished the book and wanted the next installment immediately. I am anxiously awaiting the next book, The Eternal Echo, which is supposed to pick up 6 months later, and I hear the author is working on a novella to cover the interim action! I can't wait! Loved it! A must read for paranormal romannce and action lovers! "

"Definitely 5 Star!!!!! I love the story, love the characters, love the flow!!! Candy Crum's twist on the norm made for a fabulous getaway! I just could not get enough!! I was so wrapped up in these characters that I kept putting it down to make it last just a smidgen longer. Especially when I knew I was getting to the end! I was dreading getting to the last page, because I wasn't sure if the next book was out yet (and I knew I'd be needing another fix ASAP!). LOLz Well...I am happy to know that there are 2 more out so far & I just bought them both to begin NOW! Hee Hee Hee Definitely read this series!!! It's Terrific!! =) "

Synopsis from Goodreads
"A young girl (Kailah) discovers that she is from a lost and forgotten powerful Immortal blood line after she meets a strange new physician at work. She begins to have visions and see spirits and has trouble controlling bad things from happening when she is angry. Along the way she discovers the terrible truth about who she is and the incredible power that is locked away deep inside her. Her Immortal ancestors want to use her to destroy the vampire race. Vampires want to use her power to destroy her Immortal ancestors. But hiding in the shadows are those who have been watching her since she was born. They want to help Kailah discover who she is and help her learn to use her abilities. They simply want for her to make the right decision before it's too late. Unfortunately for them time is not on their side and the Rogue Vampires have plans for Kailah no one could have imagined."

I absolutely loved this book. I am a big fan of the genre and always love it when a new look or twist to the traditional is found. I love Kailah, she is a no nonsense gal who does not think she is invincible and is willing to admit when she needs help, but will not shy away from doing all she can to protect those she cares about even if she knows she is putting herself in jeopardy. The supporting characters are fun as well and these are generally a group of folks I would like to know and visit from time to time. I feel the story was well written and fun to read. I laughed and giggled at times and other times shed a little tear or sat on the edge of my seat wanting to know what would happen next. I can honestly say I did not, even once, have that feeling of how much more until the end and just devoured it page by page. The story resolved well and yet leaves the opening for future installments and as this is The Eternal Series #1, I do not feel I am going out on a limb here in believing there is more to come. When I finished this book I had a smile on my face, which is a real biggy for me, and I am eagerly awaiting for the next book in the series. I would definitely recommend this read to anyone who enjoys the genre and feel you will not be disappointed in this read. I purchased this book and am really glad I took the chance on a new to me author and read. "
