Ageless #1
Ageless
Lauren Cortez is the only survivor of a horrific attack that wiped out a small village and her entire squad while on patrol in Afghanistan. Even with treatment, Lauren’s PTSD episodes are getting worse, as she relives the horror of watching her men being slaughtered by savage mountain men with glowing eyes and razor-sharp teeth. A move to the quiet peaceful state of Maine seemed like the answer. An escape from all the triggers.
Shortly after she arrives, she is approached by a strange Frenchman named Henri. Somehow Henri knows what she has been going through and tells her that once he had the same symptoms and a similar experience. He provides her with answers as to what is wrong with She is becoming a living vampire herself, and hers is the most potent vampire bloodline in existence. She is quickly drawn into a shadowy world of real living vampires who have been hidden amongst us since the end of the Ice Age.
As she comes to grips with the implications of this new reality, she is drawn even further into their secretive collective, where she finds herself at the center of a global conspiracy and the deadliest terror attack in history. When a radical vampire faction tries to take control of their secret government, they seek their “Eve,” an ancient vampire thought to be at least 20,000 years old, who they believe still exists. They want her blood to increase their own longevity and power. And if they can’t find her, then Lauren’s potent blood will have to do.

Su was something else!
everybody gets a little mad when somebody presses both the “up” and the “down” buttons to call for an elevator but… sheesh! Lauren adjusted well. I couldn’t have handled Henri despite the news he brought. call, Bro! don’t just stand outside my place reading a book in the dark at night!

They are called people of the night. This had a wonderful twist on the history of vampires. Vampires have been living with society since the beginning of time, and you would never know if one was sitting right next to you. Great character development.

"Ageless"
by Jon Lewis
Rating:5/5
Review:
👉"Ageless" by Jon Lewis is an absolutely mesmerizing supernatural thriller that hooked me from the very first page! This novel introduces us to Lauren Cortez, a soldier haunted by the horrific memories of an attack in Afghanistan. After moving to Maine to escape her trauma, she discovers a terrifying truth—she's turning into a living vampire, and not just any vampire, but one with the most potent bloodline in existence.
👉As Lauren navigates her new reality, the story delves into a shadowy world where vampires have secretly lived among us since the Ice Age. The blend of horror, suspense, and supernatural elements is masterfully executed, making every twist and turn a pulse-pounding experience. The way Jon Lewis weaves Lauren’s struggle with PTSD into her transformation adds emotional depth, making her journey not just thrilling, but also deeply human.
👉The plot takes an exhilarating turn as Lauren becomes embroiled in a global conspiracy. A radical vampire faction is on a relentless quest to find "Eve," an ancient vampire thought to be over 20,000 years old. If they can’t locate her, Lauren’s powerful blood becomes their next target. The stakes are incredibly high, and the tension never lets up as she faces unimaginable dangers.
👉What truly sets "Ageless" apart is how it redefines the vampire myth. These vampires, or Curvels as they’re known, aren’t just the creatures of legend; they are a hidden society with their own rules, politics, and dangers. They can live for centuries, blending into human society, but they’re not immortal. This fresh take on vampire lore is both fascinating and terrifying, making the story all the more compelling.
👉Adding to the allure of this novel are the illustrations by Glenn Chadbourne, known for his work with Stephen King. These images perfectly capture the eerie and mysterious tone of the story, drawing you even deeper into the world Jon Lewis has created. The visuals alone are enough to make you want to dive into this book!
👉If you’re a fan of intense, edge-of-your-seat thrillers with a supernatural twist, "Ageless" is an absolute must-read.
Happy reading 😁

Drawn to this book by the intriguing cover, “Ageless” draws us in with illustrations by the Glenn Chadbourne, best known for his work illustrating several of Stephen King’s covers. True to the character within and prominently capturing the essence of Henri, the attraction to “Ageless” only begins with this alluring magnetism.
As you peel back the outer layers, forget what you think you know about the myths of vampires. They’ve been living amongst us for centuries. Born or Made, their seventh stem cell delineates them from the rest of the population, that and their hunger for blood, sensitivity to light, ability to smell well beyond that of a mere human, as well as their lifespan, healing, and more. Not immortal, a gun, knife, or accident will still kill them, just like anyone else, but free of incident they will live many centuries over as they slowly age. So, when Henri smells a female on the bus radiating scents of being both Born and Made, he follows her. Taking him under his wing, he helps her identify the changes she’s going through and why. With the help of longtime friend, and emissary to the Circle, Rami and Henri become Lauren’s first Curvel friends, or people of the night.
Author Jon Lewis captivates with his unique take on blood thirty vampires. Writing characters dating back many centuries, many lifetimes, and many wars over. Amidst Lauren’s discovery of her own abilities becoming active, Lewis ensconces us in an evil and villainous uprising. Like humans, Curvel’s have dissenting opinions and beliefs, as this coup rises, will the Circle survive it?
“Ageless” holds us at the edge of our seat. Readers of this thrilling plot will forever see vampires, Curvels, or people of the night in a whole new light, living among us, in positions of high esteem, Lewis tantalizes us with sampling of more to come.

This story is a wild, relentless ride that takes the vampire mythos in a bold and unexpected direction. Instead of relying on tired tropes, it reimagines immortals as both ancient survivors and dangerous conspirators, threading their presence through the cracks of human history and conflict.
The central heroine is magnetic, scarred, and forced to reckon with a truth more terrifying than the nightmares she thought plagued her mind. Her struggle feels raw and human, even as she becomes tied to something far larger than herself. What’s especially gripping is how the narrative blends military grit, psychological tension, and political intrigue with supernatural horror, creating a tapestry that feels both epic and intimate.
Every page raises the stakes, pulling the reader deeper into a hidden war of bloodlines, betrayals, and long-buried legends. The prose captures both the brutality of violence and the tenderness of human vulnerability, making it impossible not to root for her as she stumbles into the center of a dangerous game.
Fans of dark thrillers and mythic fantasy will find themselves hooked. This isn’t just another vampire tale, it’s a reinvention that dares to tie the supernatural to the scars of modern warfare and the fragility of survival.

I really loved this book. I'm in the midst of reading the sequel - The Wolf. I'm not someone who is into horror, so if you're like me, don't worry. While it technically falls within that genre, it is, in reality, not just about vampires, but a more complex story of people coming to grips with the truth of who they really are. Jon is a tremendous storyteller, and I'm looking forward to delving further into the world he creates with each book in the series.

Fun story with good world building
This is a thriller told from the vampire’s perspective. In Ageless, vampires are not inherently evil, and we get a great tale of immortals caught up in a devastating plot. It’s a relatively quick read, so if you’re trying to hit your reading goal this is a great book to put at the top of your list.
