FROM FEAR TO ETERNITY is Book three in Michelle
Rowen's Immortality Bites mystery series. This series
follows the husband and wife vampire team of Sarah and
Thierry de Bennicoeur as they investigate for the vampire
group known as "the Ring". I am so glad that Michelle Rowen
started writing her Immortality Bites series as a mystery
series rather than a romance series. The last book I read
by Michelle Rowen was her first book in the romance version
of her Immortality Bites series in which Sarah and
Thierry first meet. In that book, I loved everything but
Thierry. I found him to be too aloof. The things I didn't
like about him as a hero in a romance series, I like about
him as a main character in a mystery series. His, at times,
cool manner and analytical mind make him great to have
around when bodies start piling up in a mystery.
There are so many things to love about FROM FEAR TO
ETERNITY. Michelle Rowen takes the classic mystery setup of
a group of mismatched characters, some of them very shady,
trapped together while they are slowly picked off one by
one and puts a unique twist on it. With all the magical
things in FROM FEAR TO ETERNITY, it kept me guessing and I
couldn't anticipate what would happen next. I love how
nothing is what it seems in this book. Michelle Rowen does
a great job of creating a certain mood -- whether it's
sinister and spooky, poignant and romantic, or intense and
full of suspense. I like how the story was told from
Sarah's point-of-view. She has a straightforward manner and
a sense of humor.
Even though this is written as a mystery and not a romance,
I enjoyed seeing a window into Sarah and Thierry's evolving
relationship. They have come a long way from when they
first became involved. In addition to the fascinating
mystery, trust becomes a central theme in FROM FEAR TO
ETERNITY -- not just as it applies to the hidden identity of
a murderer, but also as it applies to Sarah and Thierry's
relationship. I think they end up having an even stronger
relationship by the end of this book.
FROM FEAR TO ETERNITY is a highly entertaining paranormal
mystery full of magic and the unexpected. After reading
FROM FEAR TO ETERNITY, I am compelled to hunt down the
first two books in the series. I eagerly await the next
exciting installment in this series by Michelle Rowen to
find out what's next in store for Sarah and Thierry!
Newlywed vampires Sarah and Thierry de Bennicoeur have their
whole undead lives ahead of them. And with Thierry’s job as
a consultant for the Ring sending them across the globe to
solve one vampire crisis after another, eternity may never
have a dull moment.
Sarah was hoping the honeymoon would literally last forever,
but when Thierry receives a mysterious invitation to an
auction held in an old Beverly Hills mansion, it’s clearly
time to get back to work. Thierry hopes to win a powerful
amulet containing a wish-granting djinn that has eluded him
for centuries. Unfortunately, Atticus Kincade, head of the
vampire council, also has his eye on the item.
When the auction’s host reveals his unpleasant history with
Thierry, and Sarah discovers a talking head in the freezer,
things get even weirder than usual. But when the amulet goes
missing, and everyone is suddenly trapped inside the
mansion, the undead guests find themselves in mortal
danger—and Sarah had better be careful what she wishes for.
