Let me start off by saying I really didn’t know what to expect when I started reading Life Eternal the second book in the Dead Beautiful series. Dead Beautiful was such a great read I tried not to let my expectations for Life Eternal to get too high, but I had nothing to worry about this book far exceeded any expectations I could have had. If you haven’t read Dead Beautiful please don’t read any further because there will be spoilers for the 1st book.
Life Eternal starts off a few months after the events that happened in Dead Beautiful. Renee Winters feels likes she has changed she looks older and is having dreams or visions she isn’t sure which. The condition has everyone a little baffled, but Renee can never tell anyone what really happened. Her undead boyfriend Dante brought her back to life Last May. Renee heads to a different school in Canada instead of Gottfried Academy. While there she misses Dante more than she ever thought she could, but she knows Dante doesn’t have much time left unless she can figure a way to change things. Renee learns about the Nine Sisters and a secret that may be the answer her and Dante have been hoping for.
I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It was very engrossing and kept me interested till the last page. Yvonne Woon has created a very believable world with characters I love. In Life Eternal we meet a new group of characters and they add to the story. The only complaints I have about this story is that we don’t see enough of Dante and Renee’s insistent whining through the first half of the book made me want to reach through the pages and smack some sense into her. I also began feeling really bad for Dante because Renee is so quick to think the worse of him. My other complaint is how Yvonne Woon ends these books in this series. The cliffhangers are enough to drive me crazy. How can you end a book like that Grrrr. Now I have to wait till the 3rd book comes out and I am definitely counting down to see how Renee and Dante’s journey continues. I want to thank Disney-Hyperion and Netgalley for allowing me to receive an ARC of this book and the privilege to read and review it.
