Blinded by the promise of immortality you were seduced by their world. Deceived with the allure of hypnotic smoke to mask the fire burning below.
Tristan
We left our immortal family to start a new life, in the hopes that it would help Cole break his blood-drug addiction. I love him with unwavering devotion but I fear our relationship fueled his need to use. I kept my feelings hidden to protect Cole from himself. Enabling him throughout the last ten years and giving into my undying need to be close to him. Lately, I realized together we are stronger, there is no reason for us to be apart, he is my heaven, and I am his life. We were finally happy.
But I should have known better, for when I'm at my happiest the world around me seems to crumble. A misunderstanding led to arguments that snowballed into the worst weekend of our very long lives. A death, a curse, and finally the return of our estranged family, the Elite Immortals back into our world. The bond we share strengthens as a web of lies brings forth the unmasking of an old-world feud. Will the discovery of the truth be our salvation or will it be the catalyst that ends our forever?
Coleton
We promised each other eternal love on the night we became immortals. Tristan is dramatic and impulsive but he is also my life, he is love, he is everything. My addiction broke us but time mended those fractures. As Tristan lets go of his fear of me falling back into old habits, I can see the admiration in his eyes.
When we say we'll love each other until the end of our forever, it's not just words, it's a promise. I am his Vida and he is my Cielo. It will stay that way until the end. He is drama and I am explosive passion. Together we are an imperfectly perfect match.
A curse threatens to expunge the light from my lover's eyes, a web of lies uncloaked, and the trust of our family is broken by a secret never meant to be revealed. Will we be strong enough to defeat the evil within, when there are demons at our door?
If you were/are a fan of supernatural teen dramas (my favorite was The Vampire Diaries), then UNTIL THE END OF OUR FOREVER is the perfect read for you. The main focus was the characters rather than the plot, and with its sweet M/M romance and the intricate, complex found family relationships between the characters, it was a very entertaining read. Fair warning though, despite this being a new adult novel for the content, the characters might come across as “young” for certain readers, so keep that in mind.
I really enjoyed my time with this book. It was full of representation, and the leading romance between Tristan and Cole was adorable. A lot of their history is not shown on page, but in my opinion the author did a great job at giving the reader enough information to know where they came from, what trials their love had endured up until that moment, and why their bond is as strong as it is. I was fully rooting for their happy ending! I also really enjoyed the cast of secondary characters and the found family dynamics between this group. Some of these threads are intricate to say the least, but damn, the drama was delicious! And there is a lot of potential to see many of these storylines develop in the future.
I had two little “issues” though, and oddly enough, these might actually also be strengths of the book depending on how you see it. I definitely see what they add to the story, but they may be tedious depending on what type of reader you are. The first issue: miscommunication. On the one side, it opened the door for lots of drama, lots of secrets, and lots of surprises for the reader, and I liked that. But sometimes it highlighted my second issue: the “youth” of these characters. This is very personal because I completely understand where the author was coming from with this. Despite the characters being immortal, most were changed when they were teenagers, and thus they maintain those teenage mannerisms. In the long run, though, you might find it grating if you don’t have a high tolerance for teenage shenanigans.
Overall though, this was a super fun read and one I definitely recommend checking out. It wraps up quite nicely, but it leaves enough loose threads to keep readers curious for the sequel (which is already out, by the way!).
Thank you to the author for gifting me a copy. Opinions are my own.
This is the first book in a paranormal fantasy series with supernatural creatures, an all-consuming M/M romance, multi-POV’s told through a diverse cast of characters and lots of plot twists!
We follow the story of Cole and Tristan, two immortal beings who are completely infatuated with one another. In the beginning of the story they are not yet secure in their love and so their relationship undergoes a rollercoaster ride of emotions. I’m not a big fan of the miscommunication trope, however I felt like this was relevant for us to get familiarised with the characters. Tristan is more submissive and has troubles expressing himself, while Cole is more dominant and often loses his temper . When these two come together, sparks fly. The romance is steamy 🔥 and I thought it was adorable the Spanish terms they used with one another. These could be limited to only words of endearment instead of full sentences to make it more special.
Suddenly the outside world comes knocking on their door as death of a close friend turns their world upside down. It’s adorable to see how Cole is supportive of Tristan, their love really is until the end of their forever. One of my favorite elements of the story was however the immortal “society” and their ranks, sire-creation bonds and the soulless. The immortal crave blood, while the soulless are mindless monsters that live for it. They are very strong, fast creatures that heal rapidly, very much like the vampires in vampire diaries (heart ripped out of their chest and all!). We also have witches, curses and the fear of losing one’s soul. 👀 ideal for fans of TVD and supernatural, and LGBTQ romance 🔥
The book is about Coleton Diaz aka Ignacio Rivera and Tristan Alvarez aka Juan Sanchez. They escaped Cole’s abusive father and get caught in a web of lies, secrets and immortals.
They promised to be together ‘Until The End Of Our Forever’ but they have to get through a lot of obstacles. Tristan gets cursed after his best friend Laticia gets killed and that moment their life starts to change. The love they have for each other is so beautiful.
The author writes gorgeous and makes you fall in love with not only Tristan and Cole but also all the other members of the ‘Elite’ everyone with their own story and struggles.
This story made me scream, laugh, cry and all over again. If you are a fantasy lover this is a must read.

Until the End of our Forever was a fun and sweet read, with lots of representation and a large cast of complex and interesting characters. It reminded me a lot of paranormal TV shows, with the same amount of unexpected drama, shocking betrayals and surprising twists. It’s definitely a read I would recommend if you’re a fan of that sort of story!
My favorite aspect of the book were definitely the characters, which were also the main focus of the narration. Cole and Tristan were the main couple, and my favorites to read about! They had great chemistry and brought out the best in each other. It was super easy to love them! What I loved most about them though is that, despite the two of them making up the totality of the world for the other, there was a lot more to the individual characters than just the romance. Both Tristan and Cole were fully developed with their own sets of strengths, flaws, and complicated relationships. The author was especially gifted in bringing out the affection all these characters felt for one another, and I found myself cheering and feeling heartbroken in equal measure whenever they fought or… well… let’s just say not everyone makes it out alive.
The secondary characters were also quite interesting. I especially enjoyed reading about Tara. Her spunky personality made her very enjoyable, and I was happy to see that she’d play a bigger role in the sequel! There’s a lot about this character that I think can be explored, and she’s certainly one of the most interesting and complicated of the entire cast.
I will admit that the book felt a little long at times. Some of the fights between characters were sometimes repetitive and highlighted the overall “young” feeling the characters gave off. I also would have liked to see a little bit more of the main conflict because I really enjoyed the fragments of world building and character history that we got to see. Hopefully in the sequel!
Thank you to the author for gifting me a copy. Opinions are my own.
A MM Vampire Diaries meets One Tree Hill :) It's as good as it sounds!
The characters, the characters, the characters. BOOTS!!! Ugh I love them all. So much! There's quite the array of cast in this book but every single one of them brings something different to the table. Coleton is a "touch him and die" in the streets but the absolute cutest bean in the sheets (ok but also a nasty boi ;)), Tristan is the pleaser and will stop at nothing to be with Cole, Tara is the total big sister that look out for EVERYONE, Ryan has the hardest exterior but really just cares deeply for everyone (zaddy af vibes), Nick sounds hawt, and Maranna is the doting mother figure and the sire of Cole and Tristan.
The romance was honestly just so pure :) now, the miscommunication trope is a thing here, which I tend to dislike, but for this is just worked? It's like, Cole and Tristan are going through SO MANY life changes and tensions are high so sometimes miscommunications happen. Is what it feels like. Yet at the end of the day, they ride for each other. Well, Tristan rides in multiple ways. He wants the d? He GETS the d. And Cole knows how to use his ;) It's just an incredible relationship all-around. Especially given all the hurdles they seem to always be facing!
I think this book brings a bit of uniqueness to the vampiric/gothic world, which is nice! This is not your typical group of vampires. They don't even refer to themselves as vampires, but a different being entirely, called Immortals. And it was refreshing! The magic systems are different, there are different sort of sub-classes of magical beings, and the rivalries aren't your typical fantasy rivalries. Tara Lynn has developed a fun and different twist on a common fantasy being!
She boasts some ACTION henny! And the perfect balance of it. I expected more of the romance aspect in this book but was thoroughly happy with the amount of action that was present, each time showcasing different talents of these characters. Especially when Coleton goes HAM for Tristan's sake! Tristan, you aren't the only one getting hot and heavy or there homie. We love a man that fights for his man :)
There were times where I felt the arguments went from 0-100 REAL quick that weren't entirely necessary and took away from the romance a tad bit. Like I said, the miscommunication trope itself wasn't at all a problem for me. But at times the severity of it seemed to be a little much. Though didn't happen frequently!
I will 100% be continuing this series and definitely recommend this if you're into this realm of fantasy!
This book was a rollercoaster from beginning to the end. The emotional chokehold it rendered me all throughout was so raw and I was left reeling and needing more.
If there's one trope that I am not a huge fan for, misunderstanding. Irks me to no end. However, this is probably one of the few books that this trope didn't bother me at all. In fact, it added to the overall appeal of the book. Sure, there were times where I wish I can knock off the MCs 😅 but as their characters develop throughout, their behaviours made sense.
Since I have been trying to expand my MM reading list, couldn't ask for a better book to continue my journey. Plus they are immortals which made this a thousand times better.
Tristan and Coleton promised each other forever on the night they became immortals. This is a soulmate story that I know tons will enjoy.
This gave me One Tree Hill but make it paranormal vibes, lots of sass and drama, the author does a great job of creating an authentic intricate universe, I loved the relationship between Cole and Tristan it was very sweet, the miscommunication trope is very heavy in this one and it can be frustrating at times, overall if you enjoy paranormal fiction with romance and lots of secrets/twists I recommend! Thankyou to the author for a review copy
I received an arc for the upcoming release (Dec 18th).
I can't tell you how much I love the relationship between Cole & Tristan. Cole is absolutely the sweetest, but he's got that "touch him and you die" growl to him we all love. Tristan is a wild card and we never know what can happen if provoked.
On top of their undeniable love for one another, the author creates a whole new world of vampires and witches. You easily become invested in the entire clan of vampires that Cole and Tristan are tied to.
If you are looking for a vampire romance, sassy banter, drama, action and magic - you got it all here!
This book is part of a series. So, you best I will be continuing on.
This story screams different than anything else. Having not only two male main characters, but them also being immortals is the icing on the cake. The relationship between Tristan and Cole is full of love and chaos but something that makes you love them immediately. Adding in the other characters to add with the drama and story line makes you not want to put this book down. Curses, relationships, twists and turns, I recommend this book to all readers! You won’t be disappointed.
An Mm adventure romance that leaves you wanting more!
Cole and Tristan’s story captivated me and had me binge reading this book like there was no tomorrow. These two MCs have a connection like no other. Reading their ever evolving love in this novel really gives you all the feels.
What I enjoyed about this book the most was all the different characters that we get to meet and join in their journeys. This book isn’t just based on the main couple but has other interesting plot lines through out book that you get to follow. This made the novel really enjoyable and entertaining.
Tara makes you connect to all the characters with her way of writing. I couldn’t pick a favourite character but I definitely have a soft spot for Mike, he was just so cute I couldn’t help but want to give him a cuddle.
I can’t wait to read more about these characters and their story’s.
“You are the reason for all the good in my life. The one who loves me unconditionally, the man I look forward to seeing when I wake. Without you, there is no me. We are each other's forever and if one is hurting the other feels the pain and is the reason for its release."
This book has a-lot going on but at the heart of it we have the story of Coleton and Tristian. To get more of a back story, you should really read the free novella Before Forever by signing up for Tara Lynn’s newsletter. This book picks up once Cole and Tristian have already been an Elite Immortal for 50 years. During this time, they have already have gone through so much with Cole going through an addiction to Bloodpyre and many secrets kept from Cole and Tristian causing so much anger and mistrust in the family especially between Cole and Tristian and their sire Maranna.
The power the Elite Immortal have causes emotions to go from zero to 100 in an instant and causes much miscommunication. With all the foot stomping and the constant yelling got a bit frustrating but it didn’t take away from the story. Between the Soulless, witches, wolves and the love Cole and Tristian have for each other had me glued to this book.
I can’t wait for the next book!

SOULMATES, TWISTS, HEARTACHE, FAMILY BETRAYALS, RAW & REAL, UNIQUE!!!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️5/5 🌶️🌶️2.5
Ms.Tara Lynn, you have created such a BEAUTIFUL world in this book that it was hard to put it down. Even in the hard parts, you had me love, be mad, frustrated, and sad because of these characters. The way this book is written, love just pours out of the characters and you feel it! You feel the anxiety and pain of the events that unfold, all of the emotions even the betrayal from the “chosen family”, your heart sinks to the pit of your stomach and leaves a sour taste in your mouth. There aren’t just one love story, as you read you also dip into a little bit of the others as well. It’s so refreshing. This book had me so in my emotions that I cried so hard at a few parts, because in a way was relatable, broke my heart😭and that’s what I want from a book.(I’m masochistic, I guess 🫣) The world building and character backgrounds are so well written, it was hard not to fall in love with the story. It’s not my typical type of book to read but I am a huge fan and will continue to read any and every of this author’s work.
Ms.Tara Lynn, you’ve made a believer out of me🥹 True love will conquer all ❤️.
Definitely one of my favorite reads of this year!! I love the world building and all the characters. All the relationships and all the connections all the characters had with one another. Wanting to protect both Coleton and Tristan by keeping secrets from them.
I love that both Cole and Trist were together since they were young and became immortals together. You can truly feel the love for one another. Seeing them fight over wanting to protect the other. Love the passion between them overall!!
The whole things between the immortals, hybrids and the soulless is just so interesting and kept me so involved with the story! Wanting to know what was going to happen next. If souls will be saved
Another thing I love was a mix of Spanish texts through the book and the translation. I just love that so much!! Just made it much sweetie with Cole snd Trist.
I can’t wait to read the next book and the Before Forever as well!!
At first i only read a sample online which wasnt enough so i purchased the book. I didnt know what to expect. But as things went on i found Cole and Tristan to be who really stuck out the most for me they are so cute and their love for each other is just perfect. 370 pages of their journey to read about and i loved it. Everytime it turned to them kissing or touching each other or their sex scenes. (Yes they get into that and its beautiful its love) Just reading their stories and as they grow throughout the book is just adorable. Irresistible is a word i would describe the love they have for one another. Them dealing with the curse and their family and their lives while being in love. They just want to be together. And their love is meant to last forever. I recommend this book and author. Her next book is coming out soon so be on the lookout for that.
This romantic fantasy follows Coleton and Tristan, two Immortals that promised each other forever when they were first turned over 50 years ago. There have been many changes over the years - addiction, and betrayals, between them and their families. This is a super high emotion novel with lots of raw feelings and big reveals!
Highly recommend checking out the prequel novella available from the author. I did not read it and I think the extra context would have helped.
The miscommunication trope is hefty in this one, and I struggled with how the characters handled themselves when they argued. But those looking for a super raw MM romance with some really unique fantasy elements will enjoy this one!!
"You are my addiction and I don't plan on breaking that habit any time soon."
3.5⭐️ I adored Cole and Tristan’s relationship and how much love they have for each other. I thought it was a pretty cool plot and had lots of twists and turns and secrets coming to light. The author did well with the world building and details. But at times I was confused with who was talking and who wasn’t and occasionally it would switch from being written in 3rd person to 1st. It didn’t happen a lot and I will say that 3rd person is not my favorite to read in. But overall the story was cute and I liked the side characters as well.
If you're looking for a m/m paranormal romance, I very highly recommend the Tales of the Immortals series by Tara Lynn!!
Until the End of Our Forever delivers on drama, secrets, action, and passion😍 This one is PERFECT for fans of fast-paced, high stakes plot with soul-deep love stories at the core of the narrative. Absolutely loving the atmosphere of this world the author has created as well as the fascinating cast of characters.
What to Expect: —Elite Immortals —Family Bonds —Soulmates —SPICE 🔥🥵
Thank you so much to the author for sending me a copy of the book in exchange for an honest review! All thoughts and opinions expressed above are entirely my own.
Haven't read anything too similar to this before and I thoroughly enjoyed it.
I definitely did cry for like half the book. Tristan and Cole were just so in love and obsessed with each other that you can't help and love the characters immediately.
Loved the story and all the drama, action and all twists and turns down the road.
I received a free copy of this book via Indie Author Creative and am voluntarily leaving a review.
I really enjoyed this story. The characters were fun to get to know especially the side characters. This was a very romantic love couple that got tested and just grew together even more. It took me a bit to get into this book. But once I was, I was hooked. I really enjoyed this book and will definitely be checking out others by this author. Definitely wish I would have read the novella of this book but didn’t know there was one. So highly recommend it first for more understanding.
I needed a bit to really get into what was going on in this one. There is a lot of drama, chaos, secrets, and lies to get through in this. It had me rereading a few parts to get a better understanding of things. It was worth it all to get to the ending.
Usually witches aren't my thing, but this book broke me in, absolutely love the whole thing. Tristan and Cole were so cute together, I loved them, their relationship was amazing. Cole is so sweet in the book, while Tristan was almost the opposite, which was what I loved about them, they're unique in their own way. I'm looking forward to read about the rest of the Elites.
If you’re looking for drama, magic and love this is the perfect book. I can’t tell you how much I love Cole & Tristan. All the obstacles they face together just proves that they’re meant to be. I loved this story so much and I hope you will too ❤️❤️
Adored this book and the representation is provides! It's giving angst and longing, so it was impossible to put down. I loved the men and I rooted for Coleton and Tristan. If you are a fan of vampire diaries, but wished it was queer, then try this.
It gave me all the twilight and vampire diaries vibes with the being changed as teenagers and having that youth forever. I enjoyed the found family and fated mates aspect for sure. The spice level is lower but enjoyable!
I’d give this a 3.5 stars. I loved all the characters and the romance in the book! I loved the perspective of the book so we could see what was happening with every character. I feel the plot of the story was alittle slow but it picked up at the end.
I absolutely loved the journey of seeing Tristan and Cole's love for one another. Being a witness to them coming together and becoming one strong unit was endearing to say the least and I absolutely adored it beyond belief. They gave me hope that strong unbreakable bonds can form and that its possible to have soulmates. That even then there will be ups and downs. All throughout reading this book it was like watching a movie play out and I love that. Definitely recommend.
