Perpetual Creatures #2
Vampire Justice
IF I CAN’T CONCEAL THE TRUTH, I'M GOING TO END UP DEAD ... OR WORSE.
My name is Jerusa Phoenix, the only vampire in existence who can see ghosts, and my worst fears have finally come calling.
Not only has my maker, the man I love, gone missing. Now the Hunters have taken me against my will to stand in judgment before the cruel Vampire Elders, where a single imperfection or weakness could bring my immortality to a screeching halt.
My vampire companions warn me to keep Alicia and the other ghosts a secret, not to mention the uncanny way I came to be a vampire, but that’s easier said than done.
How am I supposed to prove myself worthy of perpetual life without revealing my spectral secrets, especially now that vampiric ghosts are appearing around me in droves?
Entangled in the Elders' nefarious web of lies, I've no choice but to play their twisted games, where the odds are purposely stacked against me, and the line between salvation and condemnation is hidden beneath a river of blood.

Wow, this is one amazing roller coaster ride. I absolutely loved the first book and was looking forward to reading the second one. The first one had quite an intriguing plot but the second one blew it out of the water. The plot is beyond amazing, with so many twists and turns that it was a thrill to read it all. Gabriel weaves this tight web around you and slowly starts to reveal some of the incredible secrets, like the origin of Silvianus. The pace is incredible and I ate this book up in no time at all. I quite frankly couldn't put it down.
The main characters are an incredible mix that complement each other well. Silvianus is still one of my favorites and Jerusa and him are quite the mysteries. Slowly but surely does the author let you figure out how these two connect and how Alicia fits in all of this as well.
My biggest issue is, now I have to wait for the next one. The book was left at quite a cliff hanger leaving me upset when it ended. I CAN'T wait for the next one to come out and am sure that one will top this one, not sure how but I know it will.
Thanks for this fantastic read. It is an absolute must read for any lover of the paranormal. It has a new take on vampires and so far probably one of my favorite ones to date.

Simply stunning achievement!
The first book in The series, "Vampire Spirit", was my favorite book that I read in 2021. As impressive as that book was, it's nothing compared to "Vampire Justice"!
All of the promise of book1... the action, the thrills, the captivating characters, The depth and detail of the world building... are brought even more to life in the sequel. This book suck me in on page one and wouldn't let go until I finished it late last night!
I think I'm going to be bumping the next few books in the series up a bit on my tbr. Gabriel Beyers is a special talent, and I can't wait to see where this story will take me. Five stars!!! ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐

A great unique Vampire series..that will leave you wanting more !
I love the writers imagination. The way he creates new story lines and always keeps you guessing whats going to happen next. I can't wait for J & S to finally get to know eachother.
And do hope the auther writes qbout thier love story in detail. If I had an6 complaint s it would be the lack of following thru with the main characters storyline with her creator....Im already half in love with him.

Shufah, head of the modest little coven whose members include Jerusa and Taos in in a world of trouble with the High Council of the Stewards. Jurusa and Taos are put to a deadly test and although they pass the test the outcome isn't exactly what they had hoped.

Trouble keeps coming
Can Jerusa and her coven deal with the Hunters and the High Council.? Silvanus searches for answers, but is he going to like them? The twists and turns keep happening and I enjoying every bit of it.

This is my review of the audio version as posted on Audible:
The second part of The Perpetual Creatures Saga takes us to a new level of mystery and intrigue...
Jerusa has been a vampire for six months now and it's time for her to see the Stewards of Life, for them to decide whether she will live or die. But before she gets to their fortress, her coven has to face other perils, too, ones they did not ecpect at all...
Silvanus follows his own path, his search for lost identity - he wants to know who he is and why he is what he is... Little does he know that the answers he gets will bring even mmore questions and put his life in danger...
The plot develops fast, turning in most unexpected moments, taking us in a completely different direction. There are new characters, some of them really evil, some twisted, some heroic... Most are dark, with hidden motifs and plots of their own.
There is a lot of action, too; these scenes are vividly described, almost cinematic in speed and imagery..
Generally, it's a very good continuation of Jerusa's adventures, making you want to read/listen on.
As for the narration, it maintains the high quality of part one, with great actors reading individual characters and the narrative parts being interpreted with a perfect balance between the emotional and the impartial. It truly is a very well interpreted radio drama:)

So i thought the first book was good and couldn't put it down, this book i literally couldn't its 1 in the morning and i have been reading it straight for 5 hours........ this authors imagination is something else the characters are so well formed, i haven't read a book as good as this in ages...... I like how romance is creeping in slowly after we have got to know the characters, i love how one moment i am scared the next i'm infuriated then the plot thickens even more with a few revelations thrown in.... this is no ordinary vampire book, this book is a fantasy thrill ride ready to rock the imagination.....

I JUST finished this book tonight. I started it this morning thinking I could read it over the next few days since we have a major snow storm in progress. No such luck. I'm so glad to say this book is as addictive as the first. It is extremely well written and easy to fallow each of the different characters. We find a great deal more out about them in this book along with some really WOW surprises that has you saying "I sure didn't see that coming" I love the style and methods of this author and have become a huge fan!

Wonderful second book in the Perpetual Creatures series which doesn't disappoint, & carries on in the same fast-paced, exciting & thrilling manner set out in book one! Great main characters in Jerusa, Thad, Silvanus, Taos, Shufuh etc., continue their battle to exist fighting against the savages, Hunters & High Council. Will Jerusa ever be able to feed? Will Silvanus find the Divine Vampires & will their 'perpetual' struggles ever be over? Brilliant series full of vampires, ghosts, seers & various monsters, all brought together by Gabe's magical writing. I can't wait to read book 3 to see what happens next! Highly recommend this & any of the author's brilliant books.

Gripping read
I was worried this book would be more for the younger readers, I wasn't disappointed. You need to read the first book in this series or you won't get this one. A great read I couldn't put it down.

Really enjoying this series. I love how the vampires are not sparkly and boy do the sub-species vary! I am listening on audio. The recording is just "wow" every character has its own performer. It is very well done. I think urban fantasy readers would enjoy this.

Very good book fast paced
I liked the book. I loved the twilight books and I guess I'm looking for another set of books like them. Not quite as good but I enjoyed it

This is the second book in the Perpetual Creatures series. It's a different kind of twist on vampires and every bit as good as the first book. My only gripe (and the reason for 4 stars instead of 5) is that it ended on a MAJOR cliffhanger. Hate cliffhangers. Otherwise, it's a good read.

Such a great book! Kept me on the edge of my seat, and I didn't want to put the book down until it was over. I recommend trying it out!
