Review | Eternal Island, K.S. Haigwood

Eternal Island by K.S. Haigwood
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Fun, imaginitve and fast-paced fantasy adventure:

Eternal Island is a place of many magic persuasions and many mysteries. Invisible to anyone not invited, it homes vampires, witches, seers, mind-readers… pretty much any kind of paranormal entity you can imagine. It’s also a place of luxury, without hunger, deprivation, poverty – but a place ruled with the iron fist of Abe, the High Vampire, who dictates a firm-but-fair philosophy.

Abe is foretold of his true love by psychic, Rainey. His true love is Ariana, overwhelmingly desirable to him, but currently in a coma after a breakdown. Her husband died in a tragic accident and the shock caused her a total collapse. But rescued from her hospital bed by Rainey and her witch skills, she agrees to go to the island to meet her ‘supposed’ soul-mate. And once there, she soon discovers that she is a highly powerful witch with, seemingly, unlimited capabilities.

On her journey of self-discovery, during which her powers gradually manifest in the most unexpected and untimely ways, Ariana is pursued relentlessly by the love-stricken High Vampire. But Abe will have to learn some patience – not something he is used to – because Ariana, despite her irresistible attraction to Abe – is in no rush to jump into a relationship with anybody so soon after losing her husband – especially a vampire!

The story illustrates fascinating aspects of all things magical, all things devious – as we are introduced to the scheming Julia who is determined to seize control of the island – and all things romantic. With a tasteful input of sexual content, emotional roller-coasting, sneaky plans of betrayal and ominous warnings of tragedy, this story will hook you in and draw you effortlessly through the pages. There are some wonderfully drawn secondary characters, and a precise eye by the author for bringing so many characters and events to a neat and exciting conclusion. Recommended.

Review | Save My Soul, K.S. Haigwood

Save My Soul by K.S. Haigwood
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

A marvellous page-turning fantasy tale:

Kendra’s clock is ticking – but it’s not her biological one…it’s her life span. She has only a short time to save her soul, and the only means by which she can do this presents apparently insurmountable odds.

After a terrible accident, Kendra’s consciousness awakes in the hospital to the sounds of Dr. Adam Chamberlain working furiously to save her life. All of her senses are shut down, except her hearing. And this hearing brings her a voice – the voice of a guardian angel offering her a deal. She can live… for one week, if she can convince Adam to restore his faith in God and believe again. If so, she will save his soul – and her own. If not, both souls will be lost to the demonic angel bent on claiming those souls for Hell.

And if she refuses the deal – she dies on the doctor’s table.

She accepts. She heals faster than any medical expert can explain, and she begins her quest to save Doctor Adam’s soul, and her own life. Whispered to and guided by her guardian angel, Rhyan, Kendra becomes entangled in a confliction of attractions: Mason, the nurse who assisted in the operation and who has a seemingly determined intent to make her fall in love with him; Adam, the doctor, who she feels so certainly is her soulmate, and who she finds herself irresistibly drawn to; and her own guardian angel, Rhyan – who has loved her all of her life.

Adam, whose soul she must save, is rigidly opposed to accepting God and allowing Faith back into his life, and the story plays out with intense pacing as we count down the days, hours, and even minutes of Kendra’s life as she fights desperately against Adam’s resistance.

The story has twists, subterfuges, surprises and betrayals peppered throughout, and keeps you guessing at every turn. Even when Adam finds himself drawn to Kendra, he is still resistant to accepting God… after the tragic events of his past.

There are some delicious surprises as we get further into the story, a story which holds the suspense right up to the last minute. It completes with a wonderfully emotional ending making this a recommended must-read!
