She's My Eternity

The Girl Who Bit Me Book

by Valerie Hunter

Yasmine Sokolov has built a life most people would kill for. She’s the richest vampire on Earth, a professor with nearly unlimited research funding, and owner of a mansion across from Central Park.

The only thing she hasn’t managed in a thousand years? A long-term girlfriend.

After moving to New York City to help Sylvia and Aster adjust to unexpected parenthood, Yasmine is pushed back onto VampireMatch—where a dozen disappointing dates convince her that another thousand years alone might be her fate.

That is, until she meets someone she absolutely cannot fall in love the devastatingly beautiful, and devastatingly human barista, Bella Dragomir.

But as a string of vampiric killings begins spreading across New York City—killings that seem to draw closer and closer to Bella herself—Yasmine finds herself wondering if the truth is more complicated than she wants to believe. Especially when it comes to Bella.

Good read!
A much better and funny 2nd book in 'The Girl Who Bit Me' series...

[Stuffl]

4,5 ⭐

I loved the first book, so I couldn't wait to read this one. First of all, I was thrilled that Aster and Sylvia were also part of this book and that they're still so funny. Second, I liked Bella right away. Watching her gradually draw Yasemine out of her shell and break down her walls, brick by brick.

I loved their banter! It was great, and the two of them had electrifying chemistry. I liked the numerous secrets that took a long time to fully come to light. That made the whole love story even better and more exciting.

I really liked the story about Bella and Yasemine! It was entertaining, funny, very spicy, beautiful, exciting, and not quite as gory as the first part. In my opinion, the book about Aster and Sylvia was somehow more well-rounded. Everything just clicked. But that's just my personal feeling.

ughhh I LOVED THIS AND I NEED MORE!!!!
Valerie Hunter has done it yet again, except instead of delivering hot, chaotic, and perpetually broke main characters like the first installment, we got hot, mysterious, and brainy scientists this time around.

Yasmine and Bella were absolutely great. Their dynamic and chemistry was a hit from their first interaction, and it just kept getting better as the book went on. We also get to see more of Aster and Sylvia, which is *always* a plus. And speaking of Sylvia, her friendship with Yasmine is literally the funniest thing ever.

The ending did feel like it was wrapped up rather quickly and could’ve shown more of Yasmine and Bella’s relationship post-resolution, but I’m also just greedy and would read 300 more pages of this simply because I love it.

I need this author to keep making books because I’m obsessed!!!! I will auto-buy anything she announces!!!

I want more. I need more. We need another book ASAP. I genuinely enjoy reading books by this author. I think the first book in the series will forever have my heart, but this one really exceeded my expectations.

Yasmine was not what I expected at all after reading the first book, but I was pleasantly surprised that I LOVED her and she may be my #1 favorite in this series. She has such a hard exterior but once someone gets past those walls she is so caring.

I’m not sure why I had such a hard time liking Bella at first. She wasn’t a bad character by any means, but it took a bit to warm up to her.

There was definitely less action in this book than the first, but it didn’t take away from the story itself. I wanted a bit more of Bella and Yasmine’s relationship, but it was so so good either way.

BREATHTAKING, ROMANTIC, SUSPENSEFUL, BEAUTIFUL WRITING, AHHHHHHHH

I absolutely loved this book so much. I was smiling the entire time I was reading it.

This story is a romance, but it also has a mystery running through it that kept me constantly hooked. I was always sitting there thinking, “AHHH what is going to happen next?” The setup and execution were gorgeous, and I genuinely can’t wait to read more from Valerie Hunter. Her writing is beautiful.

Valerie, if you ever see this, thank you for this masterpiece.

I fell in love with the main characters, Yasmine and Bella, almost immediately and was rooting for them from the start. I was basically just thinking, “KISS! KISS! KISS!” the whole time I was reading.

We also get to see more of Aster and Sylvia from the first book in the series, which I really enjoyed. I loved seeing their dynamic again, especially how domestic they’ve become together. I also liked getting more of Yasmine and Sylvia’s friendship; they’re complete opposites, but it works so well.

My only real wish is that we got a longer epilogue to see more of Yasmine and Bella. Valerie, if you’re reading this, I would love more content of them.

Yasmine and Bella just fit each other so perfectly. Their banter is amazing, and their connection feels like two puzzle pieces clicking together. - July 6th

Yep worth the wait! Almost glad I forgot about the date it was dropping because after book 1 I was just annoyed I couldn’t read them back to back. But this was just as enjoyable as the first story but it maybe lacked the total mystery I had with Sylvia and Aster. Part of that might be because there’s an expectation about their powers, and what they can truly inflict but it just felt less blood thirsty and more logical. Ultimately this tracks because we’re dealing with super genius scientists and a lot of the story is rooted in finding a scientist solution for death (but the reason is so endearing)

I love this couple together, I think we deserved more time with them after the I really like you and I love you’s but there was always something external happening that was a more pressing matter so what we see of their relationship is always rooted in a task where I felt like Aster and Sylvia really were besties for hundred of years so the interactions were better to read imo.

Strong recommend, I’ll read anything by this author but it didn’t reach the standard of re read, whereas book 1 deffo did

[Marion]

tbh didnt really feel like i knew who the characters were. also the plot was so long and kinda all over the place. this was also not spicy at all lol. about halfway thru i only continued reading bc i was mildly curious and it was gay… towards the end i was low-key getting annoyed at the characters and writing… but i still enjoyed

Memorable Quotes:
"Financial Leech: Also, asking for a friend, what the fuck are you supposed to do if your child has started levitating out of their crib at night." (Chapter 1, pg. 12) - Sylvia.
"Okay, fair but consider this," Sylvia said, waving her hands around like a magician revealing a trick. "You can afford to take six months off." "No, I can't." "Of course you can. Aster and I often take six decades off, and it's no problem." "Off from what?" Yasmine hissed. "You two don't work, Sylvia" - (Chapter 2, pg. 18) - Yasmine/Sylvia.
"Glad we're on the same page, then." Bella snorted. "Not sure we're even in the same book. but we'll get there." (Chapter 8, pg. 69) - Bella.
"I have this foolish instinct that I can trust you. It's probably just the near-death adrenaline, but too late now, cat's out of the bag. You're my confidant." (Chapter 17, pg. 159) - Bella.
"I was always aware that I wasn't actually a teenager, and these people weren't my contemporaries. But it didn't matter. For the first time in my life, I actually felt like I was growing into something instead of running into brick walls." (Chapter 19, pg. 184) - Bella.

Review:
Entering back into the Valerie Hunter vampire world I was so excited to see Aster/Sylvia had been up to and the introduction of Bella/Yasmine. For the most part I was deeply engaged and the growing relationship between Bella and Yasmine. At the beginning I was completely caught off guard as I thought Bella was a human but the reveal of her being a vampire was so well done. I did suspect and question what was going on whenever Yasmine had described her having a second sense or simply appearing to look into her soul. Looking back now it makes so much sense. I'd say the dynamic between Bella and Yasmine was very different in tone compared to the first book. While reading I was considering this a negative but truthfully this a positive because it wasn't am exact repeat of the previous book. This informs me that Valerie is a capable writer who is able to pull something new and fresh without completely deviating from what was done before. The inclusion of Aster and Sylvia had me slightly disappointed as I expected to see a bit of them. It would've been nice getting to read more interactions with them and their child together. The scene where Aster was left alone with their kid and Sylvia went on a trip with her therapist. That made me feel so bad for Aster and mad at Sylvia because I was quick to assume she had cheated on Aster or something, but I don't think that was the case. It would've been nice if that plot point was further explored as there was different dynamic going on between Aster and Sylvia as parents. Overall, a really good read despite the different in tone/dynamic compared to the first! I highly recommend this book!

It was entertaining but I didn’t feel super immersed in this book compared to the first one.

I feel there was lots of plots which I enjoyed but I felt they weren’t explored enough or explained enough, and I feel this way with our main characters and their relationship as well.

Vampirism also has shown to be very different in this installment vs the last as it’s a fungus? But again, I feel the focus or attention wasn’t really on that as it should’ve been.

[crust y krab]

PLSSSSS WRITE MORE BOOKSS I NEED MORE OF YOUR CREATIVITYYY IM SO EXCITEDDDDDDD

[Likey]

I had trouble finding the two MCs characterization, I couldn’t really get a good grasp on their characters, they felt very one dimensional and sometimes inconsistent. This also played a huge part on my main issue on how unconvincing it felt reading these characters’ relationship build up. There were very fun and camp moments, then there’s very scientific and serious which made the whole vibes of the book all over the place.

I LOVED the first book. It was actually one of my top 3 most enjoyable reads for this year, but it took all of the enjoyable aspects from the first book and mixed it with tons of new factors and that it ended up into a heaping mess.

[Gene]

A decent read, engaging characters, though with very unusual vampires who eat, drink, are just as messed up and contradictory as humans. I suppose that was a HEA, but it didn’t feel that way. Though, of course, they also have the morality of any set of billionaires, which is to say none at all. Sort of human emotions, but then immortality is boring without money. I didn’t feel the “romance” part at all. As if Earth isn’t already filled with enough real amoral, immoral billionaires. I enjoyed the read through the first half of the book but the second half left me drained of the empathy I’d felt in the first half. It’s well written but I require more than that and did not find it here.

Rating: 3.5 stars

A fun follow up to the first book, She’s My Eternity explores the loneliness of immortality and the revelation of finally meeting your match. I do think the beginning and ending were a bit disjointed and the resolution felt rushed. But overall an enjoyable read.

First serious review I’m doing for anything (that’s how good this is)! It’s not gonna be terribly long, but I don’t think it needs to be in order for me to get across what I need to. This is gonna be a non-spoilery one.

This book easily immerses the reader through its entertaining character dynamics (Sylvia and Aster are back!) and intriguing plot. Unlike some books, this wasn’t one that I could predict the ending of in the first 40%. I enjoyed guessing what would come next—something that always kept me on my toes.

The pacing didn’t feel like it dragged on or rushed terribly throughout the book, either. I was able to escape a decent amount of peopling when reading this, and ended up getting through it in only a couple of hours. I have a soft spot for a modern fantasy setting/plot (which this falls into the category for when it comes to me), and I’ve pretty much gone through all of the sapphic books in that category. It made it easy to devour 😉

Yasmine and Bella’s dynamic was thoroughly enjoyable for me to experience. I won’t get too much into it (cause it would become very spoilery very quickly), but I do love a relationship where it doesn’t feel completely dominated by one side or the other. We get to know both characters throughout the book, and gradually find out just how compatible they are for each other in many different aspects of life. The sexy scenes don’t dominate the book, but that doesn’t mean they are lacking spice. I personally wouldn’t read it on public transit, but each to their own!

…okay, that was a lot longer than I thought it would be, but I could write an essay on how much I enjoy this book, so this is still short in comparison.

This book is so well-rounded - it’s got the romance, the communication, the compelling backstory, a propulsive plot, and an interesting scientific goal. I stayed up
way too late flying through it, loving it all. It was fun to see Sylvia and Aster again. But I loved Yasmine and Bella all on their own. They have a rich connection, complete each other, and are interesting in their own right- I loved the tenderness of Yasmine’s relationship with Wallace. Great dialogue and chemistry. I can’t wait for more from this author!

Short summary: Yasmine is the richest vampire on earth. She has one friend, one son, one major research lab and that’s all she needs. Until she runs into the frighteningly beautiful and mysterious Bella, who also turns out to be a colleague and completely irresistible to Yasmine despite being fiercely independent.

valerie hunter has immediate became my favorite writer. i did not think i would be one to fall in love with gay vampires but HELLO?! i literally would have finished this book sooner if it wasn’t for work. i enjoyed every single page. words can’t express how much i loved this one. I CANT WAIT FOR MORE

I’m so in love with this book. The story was so good and entertaining throughout, I wish it was longer so I could savour it all! Please never stop writing Valerie!

"Apple has made me expect all my technology to be tiny and slim and petite. I feel like a misogynist." FIVE STARS

[Emily Smith]

I loved the emotional depth of this one!! The first one sucked me in ( ha get it vampires) in a way I absolutely did not expect and was steamier than book 2, but I loved the maturity of these MCs.

A solid 4.5/5 ⭐️, was so fun

[cate]

i see you shauna shipman

[Mathilda]

I think we sort of glossed over the fact that Bella's family essentially pimped her out for 2000 years? For that whole time she apparently did nothing, but marry some rich vampire and drain them on their wedding night. And she hated it the whole time. It's implied that the first time she had sex with Yasmine was also the first time she had sex for pleasure. I don't think it's possible to sustain such a life for that long and not be significantly more fucked up than Bella is. At some point you'd either try to assert some agency or just break mentally. Her behaviour just isn't congruent with someone who is positively ancient. Hells Sylvia and Aster act more like you'd expect a centuries old person to act than Bella and she has more than a millennia on them.

That being said this was still highly entertaining. I've loved the first book and enjoyed this one a lot as well.

[Ana Castro]

If I was hooked by Valerie's book The Girl Who Bit Me, this book made me obsessed with her writing. If you are looking for a romantic, sexy, intense, supernatural, yet funny sapphic book, this would be in my top 5 recommendations, of course, right after The Girl Who Bit Me. A solid book with a solid plot, an interesting main character, and it gives you much more depth into Sylvia and Aster's world. That said, both Sylvia and Aster are side characters in this book, so I do recommend reading the first book, even though it's not completely necessary.

Yasmine and Bella are such good characters, and their background stories and development during their journey are addictive, leaving you wanting to read more about them. I really do hope there's a third book, or at least a sequel. I'm 100% sure that I will be seated.

Sobre el libro:
Yasmine Sokolov ha construido una vida por la que la mayoría de la gente estaría dispuesta a matar. Es la vampira más rica de la Tierra, profesora con financiación prácticamente ilimitada para sus investigaciones y dueña de una mansión frente a Central Park.

¿Lo único que no ha conseguido en mil años? Una novia que dure a largo plazo.

Después de mudarse a la ciudad de Nueva York para ayudar a Sylvia y Aster a adaptarse a su inesperada paternidad, Yasmine vuelve a probar suerte en VampireMatch, donde una docena de citas decepcionantes la convencen de que pasar otros mil años sola podría ser su destino.

Eso es, hasta que conoce a alguien de quien definitivamente no puede enamorarse: Bella Dragomir, una barista deslumbrantemente hermosa y, para complicarlo aún más, completamente humana.

Pero cuando una serie de asesinatos de vampiros comienza a extenderse por toda la ciudad de Nueva York —crímenes que parecen acercarse cada vez más a Bella—, Yasmine empieza a preguntarse si la verdad es mucho más compleja de lo que quiere creer. Especialmente cuando se trata de Bella.

Review:
Primero lo primero: salté directamente de The Girl Who Bit Me a She Is My Eternity, lo cual es un gran choque y si alguien ha pasado de la última pagina de uno a la primera pagina del otro sabe de lo que hablo. La verdad es que el inicio fue totalmente inesperado, y luego, esta sorpresa abrió paso a una molestia por el hecho de que ya no se seguía la historia de Sylvia y Aster de cerca; aunque, igual aprecio que se haya seguido al menos en la misma línea temporal y tener como pequeños vistazos a su historia de amor para re afirmar que siguen juntas y amándose. De verdad que eran mi pareja favorita y no entendí eso hasta que las extrañaba en cada pagina, su dinámica perfecta, su humor, su química. En fin.

Ahora bien, mis comentarios sobre este libro en especifico. Definitivamente, este libro esta significativamente mejor construido que el primero, siento que la narrativa, las descripciones, el ritmo, el lenguaje, todo en general es mejor. Sobre todo, lo más importante, es que aquí se nota que hay una misión mas clara, incluso mas profunda, que le da bastante complejidad a los personajes principales. Algo, sin embargo, que falló nuevamente, fue el narrador en tercera persona omnipresente, era muy evidente que con Yasmine todo estaba muy bien definido, pero cuando se pasaba a Bella, faltaba mucha dimensión. Igualmente, siento que Yasmine es un personaje creado de una manera tan completa e interesante, que realmente nunca sentí que necesitaba estar en la menta de Bella, y por eso me pareció algo simple y vacía, realmente, solo ayudaba a entender un poco la dinámica entre ellas, pero poco más.

Algo que realmente me sorprendió fue como esta historia estaba más dominada por el desarrollo de la trama: las complicaciones, el proyecto, los misterios, etc, mas que por el romance, que asumí que volvería a ser algo central en este libro, y que de hecho anhelaba. Hay romance pero no al nivel que se entregó en la primera parte de esta colección, y la verdad es que me hizo falta, sin embargo, también es cierto que el libro siempre me pareció lo suficientemente interesante, intrigante y atrapante como para igualmente disfrutarlo y desear poder concluirlo. Realmente es un libro que se puede disfrutar mucho, además, es una lectura bastante sencilla, fluida, es un libro que puede devorarse fácilmente.

Finalmente, debo decir que la mejoría en general de este libro hizo que tomara una mayor apreciación general con respecto a ambos libros en sí, por lo que la verdad es que me gusto mucho la historia, la manera en que se conectan y como igualmente entre ambos se logran cerrar varios interrogantes y cerrar la trama de una manera muy completa y sólida.
