The most tragic love story in history . . .
Juliet Capulet didn't take her own life. She was murdered by the person she trusted most, her new husband, Romeo Montague, a sacrifice made to ensure his own immortality. But Romeo didn't anticipate that Juliet would be granted eternital life, as well, and would become an agent for the Ambassadors of Light.
For 700 years, Juliet has struggled to preserve romantic love and the lives of the innocent, while Romeo has fought for the dark side, seeking to destroy the human heart. Until now.
Now Juliet has found her own forbidden love, and Romeo, oh Romeo, will do everything in his power to destroy their happiness.
*NEVER GOING TO PUT SPOILERS (IN ANYTHING)*
I honestly thought this was a fascinating read. Taking a classic love story and morphing it into something darker, more dangerous. I loved Romeo's (antagonist) purpose and personality in the book, not letting you know what he was doing until the last page. I thought hearing the story from Juliet's perspectivewas necessary, allowing us to hear her inner turmoil. But the clips from Romeo let us know what he was thinking, snd those parts were possibly my favorite part of the book. Now, on the other hand, the author hand, she wove this story into a spectacular battle between dark and evil, good and tainted light. The fact she incorporated being ruled over and true love within vivid descriptions, the book made me an instant and avid reader.She wrote in a similar style to Michelle Zink, who wrote The Prophecy of the Sisters. This book had me holding on till the last page, and the dramatic ending was the perfect way to conclude this amazing book. Not anything like I expected. It made me give it a
five star
