I absolutely love supernatural romance so when I finishedSoul Mates Kiss: Witching Call Part 1I was looking for more. That's when I found Forever Fifteen and I was hooked. This book is an amazing supernatural romance story and even has some old-fashioned, historical context as well. It's actually the best of everything that I love in a good book. This specific supernatural, historical romance features Fifteen-year-old Lucy. Except Lucy isn't really fifteen. She may look like it but she's actually be around for quite some time. Since the Black Plague to be exact.Lucy is actually a vampire who's been feeding on blood and living with brutality and horror for most of her, very long, life. She's chosen to be the mate of another vampire who is actually evil. Still this book has a lot of romance involved as well. Lucy isn't going to simply take things sitting down and is determined to make the best of her life and do what she can to deal with the harsh reality of it all. This involves a lot of death and violence of course. No vampire book could ever be complete without it. However, it also contains the right amount of sex and romance for anyone who enjoys a good love story.Of course, Lucy's story doesn't start out like a normal romance. It starts out with a, for all intents and purposes, fifteen-year-old girl, struggling with living a normal life as a teenager. She goes to school and lives with a foster family including a sister. Lucy is simply trying to live out a normal life. Other than the monthly killings that she has to commit in order to survive for herself. Lucy lives off killing essentially the scum of the earth. She kills child molesters and killers, at least that's on this month's agenda.This book is very interesting in that instead of simply giving you a small idea of what Lucy's past was like it actually takes you back and lets you experience it all. This book talks about Lucy's life before she became a vampire and how she had plans for her life that simply included her husband and the baby on the way. You get to actually see when it all happened that her world changed forever and how the man she is now supposed to marry, was the one who changed it all.This book is an excellent choice for anyone that loves a good romance story but craves more than just the wild sex scenes. This book also has all the violence and gore that any action fan would love rolled in to one great novel. Great plot and great characters. For a vampire who is so old and has seen so much Lucy has surprisingly normal emotions and feelings towards the world around her.
