Luna Aeturnus by Simon OkillWhat is the test of a great novel? When you get up in the morning, determined to complete those tasks on your to do list, but before you do, you decide to pick up a book a read just a little, and end up reading the entire thing in one sitting. When you close that book and have to take a hit of oxygen because you held your breath the whole way through. When you can wish a villain a gruesome death and cheer out loud when the heroes are triumphant in victory.This is what Luna Aeturnus has done for me. I read the first one and thought it was a gasping for air roller coaster ride. I did not think anything would top it, but I was wrong. Luna Aeturnus does.The second book picks up where the last one left off with a broken, tormented and abused beautiful vampire who is lost inside of her own mind suffering from amnesia due to a horrific event she had witnessed. Deep in the recesses of her mind, Delicate Rose knows she is destined to be something more, she is to become a powerful supernatural being called Eternal. She will become this powerful vampire under the Eternal Moon. However, there is an ancient evil that is coming for her determined to drain her of her blood so he can become eternal himself. This blood is not meant for this evil because it is only for Eternal's true love who must drink her blood for them to be together for all eternity. To stop this evil, her true love, a human, must kill this evil and stop him before it is too late and the world is covered in darkness.Spine-tingling isn't it? Wonderful job Mr. OKill.
