Forever Knight: Intimations of Mortality

Forever Knight #2

by Susan M. Garrett

In his quest for mortality, Nick Knight has tried everything. But when a mysterious woman gives him a strange doll that she claims will grant his wish, the result is a series of dreams more vivid and disturbing than any Nick has had before. In them he's mortal, working in a police department dominated by vampires. Are they just dreams--or something else? Nick isn't sure. Nor is he sure just what he is willing to pay for his mortality.

This book was written by my sister. She passed away this August, 2010, from cancer. It was sudden and unexpected. She spent her whole life loving television and vampires and writing fan fiction for various television shows that she enjoyed, publishing fanzines and generally supporting fan communities. This was her one shot to step up to professional publication and she put her heart and soul into it. I'm happy so many people enjoy this book.

I used to stay up really late in order to watch this show as it was only on in the early morning hours where I lived. I absolutely loved all the characters but I especially loved Nick, Nat, Janette, & Lacroix. I mainly lurk in fandom but I kept hearing all these great things about this book and the author Susan M. Garrett. Finally I ordered it from a used bookstore and eventually started reading it. I really really enjoyed it. The story was like a very in-depth and well written episode of the show. I could see the story as I read the author did such a good job of matching it to the show. I loved the plotline of Nick getting his wish in the most messed up way possible. The switching between realities was very well done and each time the author made the switch I was at the edge of my seat. I would highly recommend this book to any fan of the show!

There are aspects I appreciated in this story - the dream doll, its mysterious creator, and the parallels between the dream world and reality - but a Nick-exclusive perspective was really challenging to swallow. I can only take so much of his angst before I get bored. Coupled with the eternally repressed relationship with Natalie, now on full expose, the tedium ultimately outweighed the drive to know how the dream sequence ended. It took me a while to finish because of that hump, and the ending wasn't surprising.

I didn't like this one as much as I liked the other 2 tie-in books, but it was still a good way to spend time with characters that I miss!

Like I wish the TV series that he actually turned Natalie I think he actually loved her

Much better than the first tie-in book I read for this old TV show.

The best of these FK fanfic tie-in books! I think that Daybreakers movie ripped off the premise.

This book was truly excellent. A rare example of a tie-in book to a movie or tv series that would be good to read even if you had never seen the original.
