Mordecai is a vampire that hates his existence. But, on a mission to rescue his creator (and uncle), he meets Ensley who assuages Mordecai's loneliness. But what future can they have?
From the blurb:
My species exists on the outskirts of society. Segregated by choice. Forgettable by design.
We are myth and legend.
We were never meant to befriend humans, for it is dangerous.
We were never supposed to invite them into our world…
But that all changed one fateful night when power-hungry kin raised an army of human hunters, usurped the throne, and kidnapped the great elder, my uncle.
As his direct descendant, I’m the only one with the power to save him, but it’s the last thing I want to do.
Here is my secret: I despise the curse I carry, and it was he who cursed me. Since I don’t want to rule our people, rescuing him is my only option.
The journey requires integration with humans.
The last thing I expected was to form a bond with one of them.
For my long-dead heart to reawaken.
To find a love so glorious in its simplicity and so crushing in its impermanence.
Ensley Elowen is a blissful reprieve from misery that I don’t deserve.
I can’t be part of his life, but I refuse to curse him with mine.
Besides, I have a mission.
A dangerous mission that he can know nothing about.
**Eternal Devotion is a gothic MM vampire romance with rainy fall nights, a creepy mansion, a cranky vampire who hates being a vampire, a far-too-observant fantasy- and gaming-obsessed human, and an impossible rescue mission that gets progressively more dangerous with every turn of the page. High stakes, powerful love, and a vampire’s best friend who won’t stop poking his nose in everyone’s business. Guaranteed HEA**
SNik's review:
Standalone (but possibly more on the horizon). Paranormal. Dual POV.
Mordecai is a vampire unhappy with his existence and tasked with rescuing his uncle so that Mordecai doesn’t have to become leader of the vampires. Ensley is a gaming realtor that has no knowledge of the supernatural world but is drawn to the enigmatic Mordecai.
I enjoyed the fish out of water aspect for Mordecai trying to fit in with the human world, and Ensley’s complete interest in Mordecai even though there are things about him that make no sense to him. I would have appreciated more world building and more with Ensley and Mordecai getting to know each other, but there was a time crunch for the storyline. Both Ensley and Mordecai are likable characters, and Mordecai is interesting with unique powers and some familiar vulnerabilities. Slightly predictable, but still entertaining as both characters yearned for a HEA. There is a hint of another book for a fun secondary character, so I will be here for it.
Eternal Devotion is currently available as an audiobook, e-book, and can be read as part of your Kindle Unlimited Subscription
