For All Eternity

Written by Linda Lael Miller

Narrated by Cris Dukehart

Fleeing the pain of losing her twin to human mortality, Maeve Tremayne uses her powers to travel to the past, where she wanders the blood-soaked battlefields and hospitals of the American Civil War, relieving dying young men from their pain with the kiss of death. There, she meets a mortal doctor named Calder Holbrook, who immediately falls under her spell-and she reluctantly falls under his.

Maeve also finds herself facing another battle, though not one of the heart-whether or not to succeed the cold and powerful Lisette as the reigning queen of the vampires. Maeve must navigate brutal wars of both human and immortal making-not to mention her own desires-as the forces of life and death threaten to destroy everything she has come to cherish.

Reviews for For All Eternity

[addictedtomorphemes · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

This is the second in Linda Lael Miller's vampire series. Features Maeve Tremayne and Dr. Calder Holbrook. This was not one of my favorite books by Miller. Immortal vampire (Maeve) and mortal man come across each other on a battlefield during the American Civil War. They fall in love at first sight (no lines, no waiting, folks) and hardly spend any time together except for the random moments--which can be counted on one hand--that Maeve pops in to see him from various continents and centuries. She is busy battling the ancient and mad vampire queen, Lisette, and is fated to become the next vampire queen. In the meantime, Calder is trying to convince her to transform him into a vampire so they can be together through eternity. The way the book reads, however, he seems more interested in the bennies of being able to travel to the future to gain more knowledge about medicine and to be able to bring back antibiotics and morphine, etc. for the Civil War soldiers.The characters were both kindhearted and wanted to ease the suffering of mortals, but I found the romance part lacking. They were also both stubborn. This is one of those times where if you attended a wedding you would say, "Ah, I give 'em six months."The first book in the series, "Forever and the Night" was better. That had Maeve's twin brother, Aidan, as the lead with Neely (a senator's aide) as his love interest. He was a disgruntled vampire who fell in love with a mortal and was willing to sacrifice anything to be given his mortality back.Both books feature an ancient vampire, Valerian, who was both Aidan and Maeve's maker. I'm thinking there must be a third book in the series about him because it was made clear that he had an interesting past that needed telling.[Edited] Just saw on another review that there are four books in this series. The next two are "Time Without End" and "Tonight and Always".
