Is out NOW! All the e-book buying links are on my blog. www.raehachton.com. Paperback comes out in a few more days!
The most interesting part of writing this story was being inside the head of a 19 year old boy for 2.5 years and typing out his [somewhat] & [normal] depraved thoughts. The second most interesting part is that I get to do this twice more for books 2 & 3. He also has a lot to say. This book is sitting on the brink of 100,000 words.

I think it's safe to say that I will enjoy absolutely anything Rae Hachton writes. She has the ability to suck you in with her dark and hauntingly beautiful words, and Eternally was no exception. I loved it! My gosh, how do I review the story without giving too much away? Okay, here goes:
The story is told entirely from the POV of Heath. Loved that. I haven't read a book written with male narration in a while so that was a breath of fresh air. And I liked Heath's character, mostly because he was so flawed. As was Catherine, but I feel that it was good the book was in Heath's perceptive because he had so much more going on. Addiction being one of it. I must admit, it was weird at first to read about a character shooting up, but it was so believable. The escape that Heath got from drugs was convincing. That's how good the description was.
Okay. That painful truth aside, his character was really interesting. Funny, sarcastic, straightforward, and even though he himself didn't realize it at times, he was kind and loyal. After everything with Catherine and how annoying she was to him at first, he still stuck with her and took care of her. That was the sweetest thing he did. No matter the other entity that tried to get in the way of them getting involved with each other, Heath still stayed with her and kept her safe. Until the end.
As for Catherine, she was a pain in the ass to Heath and to me at first. But then I liked how she wanted so badly to help him with his addiction, and the fact that she had so much hope in a guy she didn't know was commendable. A lot of people would have given up on Heath but not Catherine. She believed he would change. And with her help and support, he did. He let go of the pain brought on by so many things in his life and started to believe things would get better for him. Kudos to Catherine for helping him with that because in reality, many addicts don't have a single support left in their lives.
Overall, it was a really good story. If you're a fan of Gothic novels, like me, you will enjoy this one. The plot was intriguing. I liked the eerie setting and backstory, and of course Catherine's obsession with the history of the town and Withering House. There were times I was freaked out by all the spooky stuff that took place, but that made the story even more exciting. Their longing for each other was another major seller for this book too. Their feelings were intense and definitely believable. It would have to be, because their love is something that helps drive the turn of events towards the end.
By the way, it was painful to read the ending. I was about to lose my mind because it'd hit me so hard. I really didn't want it to work out that way but there was so much build up to it that you knew things couldn't be so perfect. And this is a Rae Hachton book, so of course it would be about tortured love. Now I'm eagerly awaiting the second book and how Heath and Catherine's story will play out. I strongly hope their love will enable them to have another moment in time.

This book was good! I thought it was very well written. It was descriptive without being tedious. The only real complaint I have, is that the two encounters with parents are a little underdeveloped in my opinion. Otherwise, I think the character dynamic flowed well, as did the plot. There were some twists and turns in the story that I did not expect. I enjoyed the book and look forward to reading the next in the series.
I received a free ebook copy of this book from the author, but it did not influence my review.

nice story with male point-of-view. if you usually read the books with female point-of-view, you should read this one :D
I really enjoyed read this book. not so Horror but thrilling. I like the Point-of-view of Heath, I like read the book with male narration, it just like getting inside a male's head (but still, I'd prefer to have dual point-of-view of a book). I'm just sad when I read the 'Dying' chapter, I'm just like: seriouslyyy? :'( will Catherine and Heath getting back together? will Catherine help Allison and Henry decorate the Christmas tree? I'm looking forward for the next book, hope this story has an happy ending
