Allison Sekemoto is on a quest to save her creator, Kanin, who needs help. What she doesn't expect is when her blood tie brings her to a blood brother and the town she thought she had left behind in her past to come crashing into her present. The boy she left, the monster who stabbed her and the Fringer whose life she saved - they all play a part in her attempt to save Kanin and the world from the new threat its facing and the slightly unhinged Sarren. 
 I enjoyed The Immortal Rules but The Eternity Cure has completely sold me on Julie Kagawa. I loved how she brought humanity to the monsters and showed how inhumane the humans can be. That's not to say the vampires can't be villainous. Allie is still struggling to deal with her new and eternal life with the pressures and cravings life as a vampire brings. She's grown since the first book and continues to do so throughout this second instalment of the Blood of Eden series. 
 Relationships in this book were a strong point. There's a romantic relationship is heartbreakingly bitter-sweet. I loved seeing how the mentor/mentee dynamic between Allie and Kanin has shifted as Allie grows more comfortable and confident with her place in the vampire world. And then there's Jackal - he's surprising in many ways. The humour and banter that Jackal provides is a highlight of this novel. 
 The Eternity Cure is fairly fast pasted - there is a lot that goes on in a short period of time but the pace is at a speed that feels right. It's exciting and dramatic at times. The characters are fascinating - flawed but fantastic in their own ways. I loved the journey Julia Kagawa took me on. I am looking forward to the third book in the series and in the meantime I will definitely be reading Kagawa's Iron Fey series!
