My Eternal Soldier

I can't imagine the pain of knowing you killed the one you loved - but having to live with it for a thousand years??? That's gotta do some damage. Killian is going through the motions. They're good motions, but you can tell there's a hollow place inside.

Enter freak chance and accident - and lo and behold but Eira (the long-dead love) turns up alive - sort of. Both are shocked, they're mad at each other for not looking harder, and they are so beyond happy all at the same time. Part of this was great! The emotion was so real - but it was also a little overly dramatic at times. Eira is very upset with Killian for hiding some things from her, and she seems to just suddenly get over it.

While they are trying to sort all this out, some of Eira's friends are fighting for their lives in the hands of the bad guys. The bad guy is super creepy by the way - well done Krystal Shannan. The whole adventure portion of the story was amazing, and it managed to enhance the romance between Eira and Killian instead of taking away from it.

This is the first in the series that I've read - I'll be going back for more soon! While there is some background that I can tell I missed, it still holds its own in the romance department as a standalone.

This is the third book in the series and they just keep getting better and better.
The story continues with Eira Rennir, who has no family or no one special since she lost the love of her life a long time ago. Her only family now are the Lycans of the Madison Pack. She's especially close to the Alpha's daughter, Charlie. They have been informed that some of their pack members were caught by SECR soldiers and are being held by the evil Xerses. They are going on a rescue mission to get them back. They are ambushed by SECR soldiers and a good number of the Lycans were killed and Eira was hurt, and she barely escapes. The rest were captured and taken to Xerxes prison.

Kellian North used to be in the Texas Republic (the only ones that accept the Others) Army and he left after 20 years. He now hunts down SECR soldiers who try to sneak into Sanctuary. Has has his own inner demons. He killed the only woman he ever loved-stabbed her with a sword. Was in a war and he went back to claim her body but it was gone. He has a surprise waiting for him in his barn.

Eira manages to get to Sanctuary to ask for help in getting her friends back and she needs to feed to heal. Rose has some of the Sanctuary residents go with her and Rose reiterates that she would like Eira to become the Protector of Sanctuary and hopes she decides to accept after her rescue mission. The race is on to free her friends before Xerxes executes them.

This story is so well written and intriguing that once you start reading, you won't put it down until you are finished. This book is supernatural heaven!! There are so many supernatural beings, to name a few, Djinns, Vampires, Werewolves and Dragons and so many more. Has so much action, suspense, sexy love scenes, humor and tears. Krystal does such a fantastic job of engaging all of your emotions. I do recommend starting with the first book, otherwise you may get confused with the characters, besides you'll love them all as I do!!
