Eternity by Tmonique StephensMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
2.5 stars
“My curse was to search for the one woman I could love completely, forever.” Roman sighed and looked up at her from the swiftly emptying bottle. “You are the reincarnation of my lover, Elyssian. She died 1,974 years ago. That makes me roughly two-thousand years old.”
If you liked The Black Dagger Brotherhood, you might like this. A group of "brothers", immortality, Egyptian gods and goddesses, curses, soulmates, and set in contemporary times.
Roman was a mercenary in B.C.E. times that failed in his job for a god because he was off with a woman named Elyssian, so the god cursed him and now him must spend all of eternity being reunited with reincarnations of Elyssian but watching her die in new and varied ways.
The Strangler has been a serial killer on the loose for awhile and Stella (STELLA!!! sorry, couldn't resist) accidentally comes upon him mid-murder. She manages to survive her encounter but The Strangler is still after her. Roman becomes her bodyguard (He took those mercenary skills right into the 21st century and has a security firm) after he realizes she's the new reincarnation of Elyssian.
“You are dead,” she confided, smiling into his face. “You reside here because of your actions and the evil infested in your heart. Yet you are not a follower or a descendent, so this hell should not be your final destination.”
Like I mentioned, a faint whiff of BDB but some cool additives with Anubis, Alamut, Nephythys, and SET to bring in some nefarious interfering and clashing mythological and real world. Plenty of brothers to get their own story and the series is all in KU!
