WARNING MAY INVOLVE EXTENSIVE SWEARING BORN OF JOY!
So heres the thing, I love this book. If you dont love it as well it may be because you arent into the hardcore romance. This is it. This is the "I love you so much I may do something crazy to have you" shit this is every girls dream romance. Its ETERNAL love! Sure maybe you think its cheesy, but if so screw you!
I also like it because it isnt always all "Oh I love you!" it is also quite interresting. It has a good storyline. A little surprise here and there. It is satisfying.
I really like it so far, so fuck off, let us romance crazies be.

No sé, no fue un mal libro y tiene unos giros interesantes que lo vuelven mejor que el primero, pero tampoco es la gran cosa

A year has passed since the events in The Eternal Ones and Haven and Iain are making a life for themselves in Rome. On a walk through the city, Haven hears three young girls discuss a past life and mention the name Adam. Haven senses that she and Iain are no longer safe in Rome and that the Ouroboros Society and its diabolical leader, Adam Rosier are aware if their whereabouts. When Iain suggests a trip to Florence to show her something, Haven readily agrees.
While in Florence learning about one of her past lives in which she and her best friend Beau were siblings, Haven’s world begins to fall apart. First, her credit cards are canceled because Iain’s mother is contesting his will. Then Haven’s mother calls to tell her that Beau is missing. He went to New York on the assumption that he would meet his soul mate from a past life just like Haven and Iain. Desperate to locate Beau before something befalls him, against her better judgment, Haven and Iain return to New York.
In New York, Haven and Iain stay with Frances Whitman, a relative of Haven’s from a previous life. On a vision from her friend, Leah Frizell, Haven and Frances go to an exclusive spa to visit Phoebe, a Pythia who can tell Haven about her previous life in Florence in an attempt to gain some insight into who may have a hand in Beau’s disappearance. Unfortunately Haven runs into Adam who claims he had no idea she was back in New York. He tells Haven that Phoebe is a fake. Adam tells her that he is willing to wait for her love and that he would be happy to help in the search for Beau. Frances is frantic when she finally locates Haven.
Haven decides that she needs some time to herself and takes the subway home. A woman beside of her warns her about being followed by one of Adam’s men. She helps Haven lose him and she gets back on the subway. Another woman finds her and insists that Phoebe can help her. She gives Haven directions on where to meet them later that night. Soon Haven and Iain meet the Horae, twelve sisters from ancient Greece who were killed because of Adam. They have made each of their reincarnated lives an opportunity to fight the evil that Adam embodies. He has escaped their imprisonments in the past but with Haven as bait, the Horae believe this time will work.
With Beau missing, Haven decides she would do anything to help find Beau, including being near Adam. Will Haven be able to resist Adam’s charms? Can the Horae finally imprison Adam once and for all? Will Beau be found? And will Haven and Iain survive not only as a couple but come out with their lives? Once again Haven and readers will be questioning who they can trust up until the end.

It was just as exciting as the first book! The mystery and everything was really well written.
Though I can't say this book didn't have flaws, because every book has flaws. The only parts I disliked were when Haven hung out with Alex and Calum. Those parts dragged on and some were useless! And I was uber surprised about Calum! Son of Phoebe and half brother of Iain! That took me off guard. And Phoebe was a freaking bitch! I swear no one can be that horrible! And Virginia Morrow was one of the Horae!? That toped me over.
And I've noticed that in every fantasy sequel the main character's love interest barely shows up in the book. It just seems cliched now. Oh well whatever haha.
But this helped me see clearer into Adam. In the first book, he was the creepiest fictional character I have ever read about. But in this book I actually started to like him, though I doubted him some times, I really liked him much more than I did. In the end I kinda pitied him and I thought Haven would release him sooner and make him part of her life if not her bf. I don't know I think he deserved a happy ending, but now I know that there will be a third book. Yay! I mean like it may be mostly pity, but he really truly loved her and would do anything for her.
The plan the Horae had planned was brilliant they tricked Beau to play along! It was so brilliant!
I can't wait for the next book! I hope it is as suspenseful as ever!

Kirsten Miller does not disappoint, once again. As far as supernatural romances go, this flies high above vampire dramas or zombie apocalypse survival guides. The writing is engulfing, the characters make me feel sympathetic, and this book only makes me want to go to New York even more.
The only downside was the cover. I don't love reading books with pretty-girl faces on them, because there are certain assumptions about the book that people tend to draw (basically any "teen romance" stereotypes). Luckily, this shatters those misconceptions, so I read it in public with only minimal shyness. (See: Maureen Johnson on gender-specific covers.)
Beautiful, funny, entrancing book.

Haven and Ian are at it again in the sequel to Eternal Ones. After being reincarnated after each of their many deaths, they're finally able to be happy together without the threat of Adam, Haven's lover from a previous life, coming after them. With Ian's death faked and the two of them living in Italy, they're able to enjoy one another's company. But are they? It isn't long before Haven's best friend is kidnapped and she must set out to save him in New York where the OS is still flourishing and Adam lies. Will she be able to keep out of Adam's why and manage to keep hold of Ian?
I was slightly annoyed with Haven's character in the novel as she is always used as someone's pawn. She doesn't think twice about some of her decisions and is at times, impulsive and puts both her life and others at risk. Even Ian, who I felt in this novel lost his sense of identity, was idiotic at times. He was supposed to be lying low after faking his death and makes no attempt to conceal himself. He walks about New York like a free man and comes to see Hayden at times when any idiot would know not to. As much as the novel wasn't my favorite, I couldn't put it down without knowing what happened. The first novel was better to me, but after finishing the second, I can say it would've been worth it to skip it.

That ending was really good, it made up for the previous book and the first half of the book

I didn't love the first one, but this one was so complicated in its crossings and double crossings that it held my interest. Some things I saw a mile away, others were somewhat surprising. Ultimately though I don't like books where the main character is so relentlessly annoying. Why does Haven always enter rooms, see a figure, and immediately guess at who it is, when DISCRETION is one of the most important things in this story? Don't say a name in case it turns out to be THAT PERSON'S ENEMY.
