"A Good short story with a little twist on Vampires"
Amon lived a life as an immortal for centuries. As he
watches in the shadows to capture the heart of the woman he
loves, he fights to regain the love they once shared in
secret and a past he cannot forget. In his early life he
was cursed to become the blood monster he hated. They
called their way, "The fountain of life."¯ Devoted
followers that were handpicked at birth and sworn to give
their blood to their god. But since their god's blood was
deadly only few survived the bite, and were turned like him
and forced to live for eternity. When Amon's mother noticed his compelling actions for the
sacrifice, Aziza, she tells him she did not want him cursed
like her. In fear of living in her shadow she bites Amon
and gives him a life just like hers. His sole was tortured
for centuries not having his true love by his side and
knowing the struggles that Aziza faced having to be the
Chosen sacrificed for their God. Since he knew fate would intervene he waited centuries and
searched the world to find his true love again. Finally
found, he realizes that she goes by the name Alana and is
about to be cursed by the hands of the same God. Amon
watches in the shadows and waits for the right moment to
save her and help her on her journey to find her lost
brother, Edward. Will he be able to save her in time? Or
will she be lost in time once again. This is a tale of heroism, of one trying to find his
destiny in the new world. The story is very smooth sailing
and allows for the reader to learn about the characters
very easy. The tale behind the characters is told with each
journal entry that Amon offers. Thinking he was worth very
little in the beginning, he grows to learn his true
destiny. The way he speaks to Alana is breathtaking,
especially in the beginning as he explains her beauty and
confesses his love for her. There were a few passages that
had me pretty sad at the struggles that Amon and Aziza face
in their destiny; he is definitely the man I want on my
side. Ms. Adkins has definitely written a sweet tale of true love
and destiny. I do think it is a good read and recommend it
to those who like a different twist on the Vampire story
and a few different twists and turns. Her ability to
captivate the reader through the characters' words is
simply awe-inspiring. Reviewed by: Mindi Ferrari, author
