About this ebook
College sophomore Bryn Dawson is a self-proclaimed poster child for normal. However, the day William Hayward enters her life, normalcy is the last thing Bryn will be able to count on if she wants to be with him. Too mysterious and appealing to be good for a girl, Bryn feels drawn to him in a way that seems out of her control—as if fate is orchestrating it.
Despite every red flag and warning siren going off in her head telling her not to, Bryn falls hard for William, knowing he’s categorically different from anyone she’s ever met. She never imagined how right she was. When William takes her deeper into the rabbit hole of his world, Bryn must decide just how much she is willing to sacrifice to be with him, knowing no matter what, fate always finds a way to have the last laugh.
Spinning a new twist on star-crossed lovers, Eternal Eden will put Bryn through a gauntlet of turmoil, challenging her to find the power within herself to become the heroine in her own story.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5When Bryn Dawson goes to a university for her first year, she meets Paul Lowe and starts to like him, but then at the same time there is William Winters who she meets, who she ALSO likes. Eventually Bryn ends up liking William more, but he has a secret, and he leaves for what Bryn thought was forever. But William comes back and he tells her everything about his secret and Bryn passes out. Five days later she wakes up with blue eyes and is told something that she could never believe. She was immortal. And William wasn't really William Winters, he was William Hayward. Bryn ends up living with William and his brothers, and their wives. But then Bryn acts like she likes John, another immortal for a mission but then william and Bryn are caught kissing and are in trouble. Then one day when Bryn is pretenting to sleep and then sneaks out to see her horse. but then she overhears william and his father talking about how William and Bryn couldnt get married and it was because of Bryn's supposed powers that she had not discovered yet. Bryn sneaks back in and sleeps.I really enjoyed this book because it was very interesting and it KEPT me interested.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This was a very intense romance novel. I was concerned at first that this would end up being a predictable novel, but I found I was surprised quite often by some of the twists in the book. I even gasped out loud at a few parts in the book!The characters were developed well and I got a really good sense of their personalities and their intense love for one another. I really love how Bryn grew in the story as a character. She learns a lot about herself and what she wants in life. She was easy to relate to and I always love that about characters.The story plot itself, while involving paranormal elements, was described well enough that it felt plausible to me. I found myself very intrigued by the history of the paranormal element (I won't tell what it is because I want you to read it and find out!).The story ends with the knowledge that there will be a second book. I am anxiously awaiting the second book!
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This was definitely a unique one.
I have to admit that at first I had some seriously unpleasant Twilight flashbacks and that the corny lines popping up from the very beginning had me either laughing hysterically or cringing in sympathy (for the laughter I'm sure the person they were said to must have been restraining) every time.
However, with that said, this was a very unique and intriguing idea in the long run. So much so that despite the seriously laughable corniness at times, I really want to get my hands on the next one. Even more shocking is that I think I can call this book a favorite of mine despite my dislike of certain elements; it was just that interesting and quite frankly heart-warming in a very heart-wrenching way that made it so I couldn't stop reading.
Loved it. - Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5My kind of a story. Maybe my mission is to find that kind of love with this type of man if it is possible. How fortunate we would be to have it . although love always pays a price due to evil.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Loved it! There was so much depth and feeling in the characters. This is not your typical YA book where words are simple and used just to tell a story. The words in this book evoked feeling and were arranged in such a unique and beautiful way. I'm on to the next in the series now and I hope the same quality continues.
- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5This may be the worst writing I’ve encountered off of WattPad. The concept has merit. The execution is awful and there’s more cheese than in the entire state of Wisconsin. Felt like a really bad Twilight FF.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Awhile back, I was cruising Amazon looking for a great book. I went down to my recommended titles and there was Eternal Eden for .99 cents. I figure why not, bought and began reading. I was not prepared to read only half way through the book, set it down , go back on Amazon and buy the rest of the series....What got hooked about this book is the great plot. I fell for the mystery of the guy, the horrible past of the girl and the search for something more. I wanted to follow William and know what he is hiding. Like Bryn, I was intrigued from the start and could not stop till I got answers. The author created great plot twists and turns that kept the reader hooked to every page.The love interest is what I expected. A forbidden love, a new whole, and new rules to follow. As you can imagine, everything and everyone is against them from the start. This only urge me to reader faster and to root for them harder. I knew their love was not going to go down without a fight. And you know what? I was right.Eternal Eden is a great start to an awesome series. It's brings great world building that with a mere touch of the pages, you fall deep into the story. The visionary of the plot and characters leaves the reader inspired and excited to see what is going to happen next. Eternal Eden is an amazing yet unique concept that you don't want to miss.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5A powerful start with a strong, albeit cynical, main character, but both story and character falter several chapters in. One-third the way through and the book felt completely tied up with little hook to compel the reader forward. And by the second half, the main character had become a mushy, weepy damsel in distress whose existence was only predicated on her godlike boyfriend's.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Too much YA angst, and too many cliches. You can figure out the story line long before the book reach the point. I don't think a book should take effort to read, but this one does tax my effort to finish.
