BOOK DESCRIPTION:
Following
her late aunt's clues, Edyn finds herself in New York City attempting
to save her last surviving relative, the powerful and reclusive
billionaire, Ethan Roux. Edyn not only discovers Ethan isn't exactly
human, but that she is at the center of an ancient prophecy and could determine the outcome of an impending war.
As
Ethan's Omega, his only human descendant, she's thrust into an
enigmatic world full of new supernatural creatures where both good and
evil vampires and warlocks have waged a centuries-long battle for the
fate of humanity. Just as her relationship with the mysterious and
handsome Brendan begins to blossom, Edyn's complicated new life quickly
spirals out of control when ancient evil becomes determined on making
her one of them. Edyn must discover her inner strength while making the
choice between a long life without love and a potentially short life
full of it.
The Bellum Prophecy
is a dark, suspenseful new novel that explores the loss of innocence
while coming of age in the midst of a battle between good and evil.
Combining the best elements of vampire legend, the supernatural, and
even magic, L. Marie Horton uses exciting action and a cutting-edge
story to craft a refreshing new take on young adult fiction.
REVIEW:
Although it took me a little while to get into this book once it captured my attention I lost myself in The Bellum Prophecy. There is a strength to Edyn that you recognize from the very beginning of the story. I really appreciated that she wasn't a weak female protagonist or overly feminine.
I really enjoyed the mixture of supernatural and reality Horton brings to her novel. I could easily see fans of Buffy becoming enthralled in Edyn's story. The mystery really pulls you in and has you looking forward to what happens next.
I must say was happy to have some vampires that weren't all sexy or shimmery in this one. I appreciate a variety of vampire tales and the differences in the vampires that each one carries. I simply enjoyed that it was different from a lot of what is out right now,
I have to admit though that I didn't really like the romance all that much. I prefer the romances I read about be built over time. When it happens to fast it just doesn't ring true to me and I find it irks me a bit,
Overall an enjoyable read.
RATING: 3.5/5
