Readers get tiny glimpses of a few past characters in this
fast paced novella. Darkness Eternal
picks up a few weeks after Devoured byDarkness. Laylah has stressed to everyone the importance of finding and
rescuing the mother that she has never known, Kata. Kata has been prisoner to
her evil vampire twin sister Marika’s evil spells for centuries.
Victor has charged his second in command Uriel with the
rescue. Uriel hates all things Jinn, with good reason. He carries a Jinn’s unpredictable
curse. Thus even before he meets her he hates Kata, who has at some point in
her past allowed a Jinn into her bed to father her only child. Reluctant does
not even begin to describe Uriel’s feeling about his current assignment.
Kata has an extreme dislike of vampires. After all she was
tortured by one for centuries. Imagine her displeasing surprise when one shows
up to rescue her. Kata’s life without her sisters torture is short lived as her
and Uriel are forced into the underworld due to even more treacherous spells
and an evil twist of fate. Even though Kata and Uriel share an extreme dislike of
each other they can’t seem to keep their hands off of one another.
I have to point out for a novella, this one was high on the
heat factor. Uriel and Kata burn up the pages during their short time together.
As with most series I recommend reading this one in order and not as a stand-alone.
I loved the way in which Uriel’s curse unravels. I love a good tale where one person’s
curse is another person’s salvation.
I love this story and the entire Supernatural Anthology. One of the few where I actually liked every story :-)
