Revenant by Janet Elizabeth Jones
Eternal Press
Paranormal
Summary: For twenty-five years, vampire Ellory Benedikt has resisted a psychic compulsion to return to the beach in Maine where his mortal life ended. Now he can no longer resist. He is appalled to find the source of the summons is a mere human unaware of her power over him.
Talisen Davies' only goal is to discover the fate of her hero, eighteenth-century sea captain Ellory Benedikt, who disappeared after his marriage to her distant ancestor. His story is the missing chapter in her late grandmother's labor of love, the family history.
With the New England vampires challenging his right to reclaim his territory, Ellory doesn't need a human poking into his past. But Talisen's broken heart depends on knowing what happened to her beloved captain. Ellory longs to be that man, but regrets the price she must pay to learn the truth--that her captain is alive, and a vampire.
My Review: With Revenant, Janet Elizabeth Jones has probably written the best vampire novel I’ve ever read. And even if you don’t personally like vampire stories, you’re bound to love this one. The characters are so well developed and human that you’ll find yourself forgetting they are monsters.
The love story between the two main characters, Talisen and Ellory, is mesmerizing and timeless. Each of them would do absolutely anything for the other and they prove it. There’s a lot of humor between them too and when they finally make love, deep into the novel, the humor remains as it does throughout the book. The sex scenes are still steamy and arousing, well written and never gratuitous.
I said this before but I really loved this story! It took a while (20 pages or so) to get off the ground and hook me, but I’m so glad I hung in there. If I have any complaints, it’s that it could have used another chapter. I want to know what happens to Meical, the Alchemist and Shelby, and our heroes. At the end of the book I was left wanting more.
Perhaps a sequel? Let me know when it’s released. I happily give Revenant 5 Delightful Divas and a recommended read.
Rated 5 Delightful Divas and a Recommended Read by Diahann!
