Endless by Jessica Shirvington

Endless (Embrace) - Jessica Shirvington

This book made.me.cry.  Seriously!  And I was totally surprised!  Not even expected the water works.  This book was just….gah!  So many different emotions and so many different events  with a climax that blew me out of the water.

In Endless by Jessica Shirvington, we are once again thrust into this world of angels and demons, love and hate, and destiny and sacrifice.  Vi is still battling her feelings for Lincoln, and we see more of Lincoln doing the same.

We also watch as the gang starts to prepare for a war that may claim many casualties on both sides.  Lilith is back and out for revenge.  But fighting Lilith isn’t the only battle that Vi is preparing for.  She also must now come to terms with the fact that her mother is back, and to determine what exactly why she’s back and what her intentions are.  And how will dear daddy take the news that his long time deceased wife has miraculously returned from the dead?  Oooooo…

So, let’s see…Lilith is out for Vi’s blood, Phoenix is doing his mommy’s bidding but gives readers multiple surprises that will make you scream, Vi’s mom’s reason for her re-entry into the world of the living is colossal, Lincoln is finally showing his feelings towards Vi, the head of all Gregori has a chip on her shoulder against Vi and makes life miserable for her, Vi and Lincoln’s epic love story comes to a dramatic climax, and Vi must embrace her angelic powers fully in order to take Lilith down.  Sounds pretty simple right?

Now, I know the majority of readers out there are all Team Lincoln, and I can totally understand that!  Tragic love and all that jazz.  Yes, he is freakin’ uber sweet in Endless by Jessica Shirvington.  He actually had me swooning every now and again.  But for me?  I am Team Phoenix all the way baby.  And nothing anyone says will sway me.  Yes, he does many douchy things, but when he talks to Vi, and calls her “lover” (which, in my head, is sexy and humerous at the same time), and the things that he does in this book!  Oh my feels you guys.  All he wants to be is a better man… How can you not love a man who has a reason to fight for someone who he believes makes him a better person.  Okay, okay, I admit that some of his actions are so not the way to a woman’s heart, but all it takes it one little act, and BAM!  You will fall for him.

And Vi?  Oh my heart went out for this poor girl.  So much pressure on her shoulders and yet she has the balls to do what needs to be done, even if it kills her.  How can you not love this strong willed chick!  And…can she not catch a break?!  Let her enjoy her happy moments for gods sake.  Okay, just kidding.  It’s the events that interfere with her true happiness that makes this book unputdownable.

Author, Jessica Shirvington, does it again with this installment in her Violet Eden series.  Endless is the best one of them all thus far, and I am just so excited to see where she’s going to go next!  The characters are ones that readers everywhere will have a hard time letting go and forgetting.  There will be at least one that readers will fandom over.  Her writing is addictive as are her characters and the storyline.

With all the angel stories out there, it’s difficult to pick ones that will rise above the rest.  This series is easily near the top, if not right at the top.  Fans of this series will devour Endless by Jessica Shirvington, and if you haven’t started it yet?  Ummmm… why not!  See what the hype is, fall in love with a good boy or a bad boy (Team Bad Boy FTW), and find a new series that will have you craving the next book instantly.  And if you’re a fan of bittersweet endings…dude check out this book!
