Endlessly by C.V. Hunt
3.0
So here's my first C.V. Hunt book, I don't remember how I discovered it, but it was free and self-published. It's also her debut and I read this before her release of her latest book, Hell's Waiting Room from Grindhouse Press. I do love me some bizarro, some post-apocalyptic, and some vampires. So of course, it's C.V. Hunt and it's vampires.
Endlessly is exactly what you see on the cover. Blood and eternity. One vampire and a human, they love each other endlessly. This supernatural world is filled with more than just vampires, so much that it felt all too real. I've never heard of or read a single YA fantasy writer that built a world with more than just vampires. So why is that such a great thing? Well, if vampires exist and hide in the human world, why can't trolls and fairies and witches and immortals live there too? Why not bring all of fantasy and all of it's wackiness into the real world? Why such a lack of creature diversity?
So basically the book is about a vampire dude who is bored and lonely, he wants some female flesh and it got him in trouble once, and he's about to do it again when he sees the aura of a beautiful incarnate. but that aura had a lot more than just what type of creature she was.
This book managed to avoid the "instalove" cliche that is so overdone in YA. This book also managed not to have a love triangle or it didn't last very long. It also didn't try too hard to be like "oh look at that bad ass vampire and his bad ass partner in action, they fight bad guys and make out real hard." Okay they do make out real hard, they can't get enough of each other, but then what would you expect of a romance vampire novel?
I will admit that I liked it, it's better than Hush, Hush by Becca Fitzpatrick, that's for sure. I loved the world that she built, it made me lift my eyebrows at its whole quirkiness. I know that most YA novelists want to write a fantasy creature that would cater to a teenage girl's hormones, the monsters in here aren't pretty. They do not sparkle or smell good. They are nasty and offend our human world. I liked that. They are also lonely and thirst for all of life's joys and pleasures, just like all of us naturally greedy and bored humans.
Endlessly is sort of a breathe of fresh air from the books that I have been reading lately. Although, I'm not sure if I will read the sequels since I am not a romance type. But I will look in to it and I'm reading C.V. Hunt's book, Hell's Waiting Room, and I am enjoying it, so you guys will see it soon on here.
Rating: 3/5
