Loved it!  I'm a big fan of the lesbian vampire romance genre.  There aren't many truly good story's out there let alone a series.  However, the Forever series is one of my favorites.When I finished the first book Waking Forever I was looking forward to the next book, but thought there was no way it would be as engaging as the first.I was wrong!!!  I was a huge fan of the characters Rachel & Sara and didn't think I'd be as drawn to the story of Ela.  However, I was curious as to what made her character tick.  The three short story books about Ela's life (Beginning Forever, Changing Forever & Losing Forever now combined into one book Ela: Forever) were equally as good.  I found myself caught up in the web that was Ela's life and each book made me want to know more about her.  Even though she's the villain in Waking Forever you can't help but like her because of her attitude.So this brings us to Becoming Forever.  Again totally looking forward to the book - even more so now because Ela's story was great.  But now I'm thinking there's REALLY NO  WAY to top the other books and surely I'm going to be disappointed, especially once I realize that the story is not a continuation of Rachel and Sara's story but has two new protagonists.  I was totally "Wrong Again"!!!  Becoming Forever is about Detective Ashley Haines (who made her debut in Waking Forever) and Dr. Emma Atman.  I found both of these characters well developed and as interesting as Rachel & Sara, but for entirely  different reasons.  What I liked most besides the romance and sex - LOL.  The backstory of Emma. Revisiting Rachel, Sara & my favorite charming narcissistic villain Ela and her equally charming but psycho sidekick Lara.  Getting to know more about Coleen. (I love Coleen & hope to get to know so much more about her - hint hint) ;-)Heather Mcvea does a great job with her creative writing skills.  She knows how to spin a story that captivates you.  You become invested and attached to her characters and can't help but fall in love with them.  Even the bad characters are good characters - (if that makes any sense).There's always pertinent quotes, charming humor, witty sarcasm.  I have not been disappointed with ANY of her books and I look forward to her future work.
