He’s a Comanche. He’s also a vampire. And Ned Big Eagle, also known as Pea’hocso, became one more than a century ago. Just after he surrendered as one of the last wild Comanche warriors to ride the plains, a woman turned him into a blood drinking immortal. Now that he’s become what never existed in Comanche folklore, Ned lives a solitary life on the edge of the Wichita Mountains. So far, he’s endured his eternal life but when he meets pretty history professor Anne Delahanty, she brings out emotions and desires he hasn’t known since he was still human. As they fall into love, he wants to tell her the truth—but when he does, Anne doesn’t believe him. It takes a near tragedy to convince her and then she can’t deal. Ned has few options but he hopes he can convince her to join him in an everlasting undead love, Comanche style.
I don't think I can put in to words how poorly written this book was. I laugh when looking to the dedication, for truly no part of this was an accurate appreciation of indigenous culture. And to set aside the racism (which I know is a crazy thing to say, believe me) this is just a terrible book. I wanted to throw my kindle across the room SEVERAL times. Let's just go to the main problem that was on my mind. Anne, the love interest, was just awful. I think Ned should have packed his bags and ran to the hills when she entered his life. But apparently he was just thinking with the wrong head most of the time. Someday I will invent the Neuralyzer from Men In Black to forget I read this book.
This was a refreshing and engaging read. I tend to prefer the historical romance genre, however I loved the way contemporary and paranormal romance was woven with an element of yesteryear as Ned recalled pieces of his past life-- even if it wasn't always pretty. It was written from Ned's perspective, and I thought it was done particularly well. There was a cliched situation that occurred, but all in all I enjoyed it.
I love it I love this book. I can't wait for more. I will be leaving reviews on AMAZON & GOODREADS! And letting everyone know about it. So I gave it FIVE STARS!
