Her Last Words

Gabriele had taken Erik as her lover when Childe turned him into a vampire. After a while the humans, who vampires like Gabriele had sworn to protect, were attacked by demons who were killing everyone, including all the vampires. Erik came upon Gabriele after being apart for over 200 years, finding her beaten almost to death by humans. The humans were now all disillusioned and wanting to strike out at everything.

Erik is taking care of Gabriele as she recovers from her injuries, but once she is healed physically, he is off to roam as he cannot be with her without being her lover. Gabriele is mentally ready to give up, as the people she swore to protect are all dead. When asked by humans to right the wrongs, will Gabriele be able to gather her strength to fight, as well as open her heart to Erik?

Although a bit slow in starting, Her Last Words by Kallysten takes you into a world of war, mayhem and destruction of life. Soon, you find yourself rooting and hoping against all hope that all will be fixed for the better. While the battle rages on inside of Gabriele, you are drawn to this woman who has seemed to lose all but her dignity. Even as Kallysten draws you into a world of chaos, she gives you hope as well. There is not a lot of action, but this book keeps you reading page after to page just to find out if Gabriele and Erik will have a future together or not.

Take a look and see if this is the book you would like to curl up with on a rainy afternoon. I did and was not sorry to find that Her Last Words was the type of book that you can read on those rainy days. One of my favorite parts was when Erik helped Gabriele -- all out of the love he had for her -- even though he knew or thought she did not want him.
