I remember how awe-struck I was by Infinite Days, peeps.
Here she was, a 600-year old vampire Queen, driven mad by her inability to feel anything but hunger for blood and torturous memories of her love for Rhode, a vampire who turned her and left her, because he couldn't bear to see the monster she became...
Suddenly this monster is turned into a sixteen year old human girl by a magical ritual and she has to unlearn being a monster and slowly regain her humanity. Infinite Days might have been a slow, lyrical and bittersweet Gothic read, but it was utterly gorgeous.
Stolen Night starts with a bang and continues its relentless, torturous drive among blood, tears and oceans of turmoil. O_o_o. It was so worth the 2-year-old wait for this book's release!
Lenah regains an old friendship and tries to continue her relationship with Justin when she discovers a shocking truth about the ritual she underwent. I can not give you details without major spoilers, but let's just say that one thing she wants most is at her arm's reach but forbidden to her by higher forces.
Not only that, the ritual has attracted an evil vampire who hungers for power. She can not be allowed to get her hands onto it because it will bring major destruction to the world. The ritual can only be used with pure intentions and you have to mean to sacrifice your life for it to work. If it's twisted in the wrong hands... Let's just say, a lot of innocent people will die.
Humanly weak Lenah has to fight evil with all her heart and soul while her friends and acquintances are slowly dying at the hands of a monster. There are a lot of deaths in these books, so do not expect happy endings for everyone. In fact don't expect happy endings at all.
This is a book about major sacrifices in the name of love, - sad, painful and utterly gorgeous. The ending is by no means a cliffhanger, but a clever, clever hint on a major plot twist to come although how the hell the author is gonna pull it off I've no clue!
Love from ever the loyal fan, highly recommended series!
