Eternal Seduction by Jennifer Turner Review


 Eternal Seduction
  Jennifer Turner
Dark Dreams Press Electronic Edition / October 2008 
 After living on the streets of New York City for over a decade, Logan Ellis admits her perceptions might be a little skewed. But twisted or not, there's a satisfying irony in watching a well dressed vampire stand in the middle of a ghetto alley, windblown trash scraping small circles near his feet. What she finds even more intriguing, is waiting for him to decide whether or not he's going to kill her. Kerestyan Nelek hasn't quite made up his mind. As the Lord of New York, he can't allow a homeless drug addict, whose memories are packed with knowledge of vampiric existence, to run free in his city. It's not the first time he's been in this situation with a human, it's just the first time in thousands of years he's come face to face with one who doesn't seem to care. And that's what makes the decision so damn difficult. What horrors would you have to witness before you went numb? How many years would it take for you to feel that way? What would it take to make you care again? Logan's answers are simple: the worst humanity has to offer, almost thirty...and something she never expected.

 5/5 Screams
Reviewed by Heidi
 
    Jennifer Turner's book, "Eternal Seduction" is a novel of unique surprise and exquisite dialogue. It is filled with rich imagery and like a well crafted play springs to life from the first moment that the eyes comes into contact with the
printed page. Few writers know how to make it all work out on the printed page, but Jennifer Turner has that remarkable talent of putting scenes, dialogue, and action together in this storyline that is almost like being treated to a fine batch of Godiva Chocolate and ice cream.  There does not seem to any flaws in it nor anything that needs to be rewritten.
    I loved the way that Jennifer Turner never "tweaked" Logan and Vouclade who become more than a little fond of her because she knows what they are, yet she does not fear them or treat them badly for being Vampires. There is a lot of love between the group because they are family in the blood as well as in bonding,and like most typical brothers they show it with kidding and wisecracks from time to time.  

I give this book a five out of five screams...I am planning to stand in line for Jennifer Turner;s next book as soon as I hear about it being printed.

Wow,
It is not too often you see a truly realistic family-brotherly element in a vamp book. They are often too busy being moody and dark.

I know what you mean. It is not often that you do find Vampires that are anything but dark and moody.
It is a great book.

Hi Jen:) You are very welcome. It was a joy to read. I love the way you put in old English and Irish dialogue into it and the flashes of humour in it. :)
