Sum It Up! What story doesn’t deserve a few twists to keep the reader guessing? The things she came up with I never would have guessed!
Summary:
Newly-bitten
tattoo artist Riley Poe feels herself changing in unimaginable ways. Eli Dupre,
her vampire lover, has seen the change in her and fears for her humanity. His
rival, Victorian, tells her she must see the patriarch of the vampire cult that
attacked her to save her soul. In the vampire cult's fortress in Romania, Riley
will face her worst fears-and the dark powers threatening to destroy her. And
she'll have to do the one thing she's been determined not to do—put her trust in
Eli (Goodreads).
Review:
I have to start
by saying that just because I did not like this book, does not mean that others
will not love it! With that being said, there were things that I did enjoy about
Eventide even though I gave it a low
rating. Elle Jasper threw in some twists and things that were completely
unexpected that I found to be enough to redeem the overall quality of the book.

The direction
that Elle Jasper is taking the series is vastly different from the way she set
it up, which to some, will be a good thing but I just see it as a mess. This
book feels incomplete, because it does not seem to fit in with the story line
that Elle Jasper created with the previous two books.
Can a book be
too hot? No it can’t, at least in my opinion. But every time Riley looks at Eli,
I don’t need to be informed that she can’t stand to have her clothes on around
him. We get it, he’s hot and she is butt-crazy in love with him, and wants to
spend all their time together naked. This is a romance after all so that is to
be expected but I feel like Elle Jasper takes it a little too far.
There should be
a little more character development and a little less of everything else.
I find all of
the characters to be lacking some sort of dimension or depth to make them feel
real. If Elle Jasper can possibly make her characters more rounded then I can
see great things in the future of this series. But as it stands, Riley Poe
annoys me and I find her narration to be difficult to read.
