I used to love stories about vampires. But recently I haven’t read many fantasy or paranormal novels. So when I saw the cover of ‘Forever After’, and read the book description, I really was curious about this book. When I got approved to read it, I was really excited and started reading as soon as possible.
In ‘Forever After’ we meet Autumn Reid. Autumn is a librarian, and has always lived a safe and sheltered life. Now she is determined to do something different. So she signs up for a real life dating show called Forever After. This is a dating show featuring a vampire and the winner of the vampires heart gets to choose cash or immortality.
Oliver Gray really needs money to save his home. So when he gets asked to act as an duke in a reality show, he can’t resist. Doing the show should be easy work, but when Oliver meets Autumn and realizes she is his true mate, things get complicated.
So.. I totally admit that this book sounded kind of cheesy. I mean, set in a reality show fighting for the ‘bad boy’s heart? But this book just had something about it I enjoyed. The two main characters Autumn and Oliver where really fun to get to know. I loved Autumn. She was just someone I could easily imagine being friends with. And Oliver? Well.. Hello.. He is a duke, more than a hundred years old and he is really handsome. What’s not to like about him?
The whole reality show part, and the murders didn’t really necessarily work for me. I honestly felt like the mystery part was a bit redundant. And I couldn’t really picture the whole reality show part. But I liked the characters, and the whole vampire part enough to not let that bother me. Above all I really enjoyed the romance between Autumn and Oliver. Oliver was just so loveable. I especially loved how he was totally smitten with Autumn from the start.
‘Forever After’ was a fun read I definitely enjoyed.
