BLURB:
Eternal Love Hannah Snow's life was so together. Friends, terrific grades, dreams of a career in paleontology. Everything was perfect... until the notes started appearing. Notes in her own handwriting, warning her of the danger that was coming. Dead Before Seventeen.
The psychiatrist was supposed to help. But what came out of the age regressions were memories of another time, another life. And of a stranger who tore her world apart... a vampire who killed a village in his rage. Until, in the eyes of a dying human girl, he recognized his soulmate.
Now the stranger is back. He has searched for Hannah throughout the years, trying to make amends, waiting for her to be born. Now he is Thierry, the Lord of the Night World-- and nothing in heaven or hell will keep him from his soulmate again. But if her destiny is death, can even Theirry's love protect her?
EXPECTATIONS: Oh look this book is actually called Soulmate, hmm I wonder what it will be about hehe
THE WORLD: So in principle it is the same world as before. However, in this book our main character is reincarnated so she comes pretty much from stone age and that is what we get to see a lot and yay because I loved it to bits. It was a very cool addition to already super cool world. And yes, in this book we are following humans and vampires again.
CHARACTERS: Our main character is named Hannah. I wonder if I loved her because the name or because she was just cool. Maybe a little bit of both. Anyways so Hannah is this teenager girl who starts going to psychiatrist because she thinks she is getting crazy. But not the gothic depressed kind of teen, she is actually a very strong leading character, she wants to go to university, she is doing really well at school and she sorta a cheerleader captain type of style girl. I found personally Hannah absolutely hilarious and if I was in her school I would befriend her right away. I just really love Hannah. Anyways so she goes to this local shrink to sort things out but this doctor just got his degree so he has no idea what he is doing as Hannah is his first and only patient. Their scenes...made me laugh out loud. Like Hannah would say something and then shrink would ask 'seriously?' with wide eyes LOL But really it turns out Hannah has been reincarnating for years and years and her going crazy is not going crazy at all, her other selves are just warning her of danger because you see she gets always killed before her 17th birthday. Okay that is Hannah. Next we have Thierry, a super old vampire that is Hannah's soulmate from stone age. Actually he was the second vampire ever made. We also get to know his maker Maya who is crazyyyyyyy. In a way this book reminded me a lot of Evernight just much less cheesy and way more funny. And also this one was written like ten years earlier.
ROMANCE: So Hannah and Thierry are soulmates and for the first time I did not mind this concept. Actually I find Hannah and Thierry to be super cute! I told you it was my favorite book of whole series so far!
GOOD: Hannah. Love that girl! And Thierry was super cool old style vampire too. And then he had all these other characters from other books in his mansion that just made everything even more cooler. Basically loved this book from first to last page. Also Maya was a really good villain. And we additionally got to know how vampires happened to be!
BAD: Too short.
OVERALL: I initially gave this book 4 stars but I cannot really say why it is 4 and not 5 stars so I am just changing my 4 to 5. It is best book of the series and my absolute favorite!
