Eternity
This was such an amazing discovery for me. I'm kind of a sucker for the whole paranormal romance genre. I don't really know why. But this was such a good book and it's a series, so I'll have to read the rest of the series at some point.
Raven St. James is a witch in the 1600s. She and her mother get accused (rightly so) of witchcraft because the town is suffering from a plague (not their fault). So the two women are sentenced to hang. And they do. But there's something special about Raven that she discovers after her hanging. She's an Immortal witch.
I guess these are a special kind of witch who have died in a previous lifetime trying to save the life of a witch. So Raven is immortal, but there's a man who is fascinated with her. Duncan Wallace. Their paths cross several times. He tries to save her from hanging and is forced to watch her die.
While the first half of this story takes place in the late 1600s, the second half takes place 300 years later with Raven waiting for her love to be reborn as an Immortal Witch like herself. Because 300 years earlier, Duncan died trying to save her when the townspeople threw her off a cliff.
Oh, and someone is trying to kill her and steal her heart to take her power and life force. So there's some intrigue, some romance, and a little bit of magic. The magic really isn't the primary part here, but it is who the characters are.
I'm kind of excited to read the rest of this series.
