Book Review: Eternal Eden

Some time ago I downloaded a  book called Eternal Eden. I wanted to read something that was  paranormal romance but not about vampires, ghosts or shapeshifters.  I searched Amazon.com and came across Eternal Eden by Nicole Williams. It looked interesting and there was no mention of the above entities.  I knew it was a secular book because I never came across any books written by Christians , but I wanted ideas.

As I read, the book,  I got more intrigued, but questioned if I should continue because as it turned out the paranormal element was immortality.  As a Christian, I  knew that only God was and is immortal and all those who were raised to new life after death. (Interesting the  main character was raised to new life but not to live with God.)  Those who died are raised immortal and live with God. However, I put that aside and continued to read this interesting book.

 I love the love between the two characters who seemed to have about everything on earth trying to keep them apart, including the evil council and John Townsend, but I thought for sure, the two will find their way to  be together forever.  I was disappointed and this is why I gave it 4 stars and not 5 stars on Goodreads. I should have given it 3 stars, but I thought the author had a very good imagination or did research on what immortals do and live by, etc.  I was disappointed because twice, they were kept from being United-- first by John's evil counsel and then later by the hero's (William's) father's council. 

Knowing this book  was the first of the trilogy, I decided to read the synopsis of  the other two books, hoping maybe there was a silver lining in the clouds-- hopes were dashed again. I just will not read the other two books she has written.

One of my WIP is a Christian Paranormal Romance and that my friends and followers will have a good ending!
