Eternal Hope by Frankie Rose – a Review

Eternal Hope by Frankie Rose – a Review

 

 

Description:
He loves me, he loves me not, he loves me

When your friends go missing and you don’t know if they’re dead or alive; when you tie your soul to the one you love; when you kill to protect and your family suffers, there’s only one thing you can do:

Move to Montana.

Farley Hope is special. She was prophesied to kill the forebears of her bloodline- a race of cold-blooded Reavers, men who steal the souls of the living to gain power. The Quorum had counted on Farley ending her own life in the process, but when Kayden came to her aid and helped save both her and Daniel, he undid their plans. Now the Quorum are displeased, not only with Kayden, but with Farley and Daniel too. Though her father is now dead, Farley’s troubles with the Reavers are far from over. An ancient Immortal, trapped for a thousand years, wants Farley for himself, and he will stop at nothing to claim her.

With secrets that lead to anger and pain, that turn friendship to dust, the group must overcome the problems within their own circle before they have a hope of fighting off the powers that threaten their lives.

Review:

Eternal Hope is the second book in Frankie Rose’s Hope Series.  We pick up the story a short time after the end of Sovereign Hope.  For those who do not remember my review on Sovereign Hope, here is a brief background. 

Farley Hope, who is only 18, is part of a prophecy that will destroy the evil Reavers, who are immortals that take the soul of others, and they cannot be killed.  As the Reavers try to kill Farley, she is kept safe by Agatha and Daniel, who are part of group trying to stop the Reavers. In Eternal Hope, Farley and Daniel, as well and Tess and Oliver are hiding from the Reavers, as we see them leave L.A. to meet up with Daniel’s friends in Montana.  Agatha, who was one of Farley’s main protectors, is still missing.

The romance between Farley and Daniel is very much real and hot, though neither of them dare to act on their feelings, with so much danger surrounding them.  The trip to Montana, brings in new characters in this book, Cassie, Anna, Gray, and also has a bigger role for Kayden, who is a great character. 

There is so much going on in this book, with the battle between Daniel and his friends; Farley & Daniel; the Immundus and the Reavers; Kayden and Daniel; and Farley and Simeon.  At times it was a bit slow early on, trying to understand what exactly was happening and why.  Farley has her visions often, as she is pulled into the dream world of the powerful old Reaver, Simeon, who wants Farley for his own ulterior motives. 

There was a lot of action & suspense, within all stories evolving in this book; Why did Daniel and Kayden hate each other?  Was Simeon real, and why did he want Farley?  Agatha.. is she now good or bad? Why has Oliver changed?  So many questions, and yes Frankie Rose does answer all of them by the end. 

There were a lot of surprises, twists, betrayals, and the wonderful romance between Farley and Daniel.  I thought Farley was an even better tough kick assed heroine in this book, and it was nice to see a more loving Daniel in this book.  They make a great couple. 

One of the best things about this series, is the wonderful characters that Frankie Rose has created..Farley, Daniel, Kayden, Tess and Oliver.  You care about them, and you root for them to stay together and survive.  The last quarter of the book was very exciting, and I found Eternal Hope to be an excellent read. If you have not read this series, you must start with Sovereign Hope first, in order to truly understand the storyline.

Collin Atkinson-An interview with Frankie Rose’s “Daniel”

Collin Atkinson-An Interview with Frankie Rose’s “Daniel”

Interview with Collin Atkinson– model, actor and the new hottie who will be gracing the cover of Eternal Hope, the second book in Frankie Rose’s Hope Series!!

Frankie Rose asked her readers to help her find the perfect guy to become swoon worthy Daniel Montisauri, and now Operation: Find Daniel is officially over! She would like to thank everyone who took part in the operation, please accept this ten minute chat with Collin as your reward!

What appealed to you about being the cover model for Daniel?

I thought it was a great opportunity and I have a love for fiction, well anything that can get you out of your mind and into someone else’s perspective.

What career would you be pursuing if not for modeling?

Other than modeling I really enjoy medicine and helping people, I’m still in school working toward my biology degree at the moment actually but if I was to still work in the arts I would love to be an actor.

Girls in the States want to know… Boxers or briefs?

Briefs definitely, better support 😉

If you could have dinner with anyone (dead, alive or fictional), who would it be and what would be the first thing you ask them?

I would have to say Zeus, I’m a sucker for Greek mythology and would love to ask him about all the stories that went untold.

What sort of modeling do you normally do? Is this your first book cover?  

Yes this will be my first book cover, I usually do commercial and editorial modeling along with some events which is why I was so excited for this opportunity!

What hobbies do you enjoy?  

I’m a little nerdy actually, I really enjoy videogames, horror movies, and building computers but I’m from Florida so I also like wakeboarding, boating, camping and all that stuff as well.

Do you see yourself modeling 5 years from now? If not, what are your plans?

I hope so if the market still calls for it, I would really like to be acting at that point, hopefully on a television series!

We in the Book Blogging world love to get to know the guys gracing the covers of our favourite books! Is it weird that your purrrdy face is going to be out there as the physical embodiment of uber hot guy, Daniel Montisauri? And are you prepared for a whole heap of fangirls?

I think I’m ready. I hope so anyway, is there a way to prepare for that? Haha, I think it will be a little weird because many of the people that have seen my photos are local and this will be on an entirely different scale, I think it’s awesome this series already has a fan base.  I’m excited though, I think the book is great and I’m really happy to be working with Frankie!

Do you enjoy reading? Have you read the Hope series? If No, then do you intend to read the book your face will be plastered all over the front of?

I love reading, it’s something I think everyone should do more of, helps you escape from reality and yes, I really enjoyed it and I feel I can relate to Daniel very easily.

What was your reaction when Frankie Rose asked you to be her Daniel for the Eternal Hope cover?

My first thought was holy crap! Then it was…wait is this real! Once she responded I couldn’t wait to get involved further!

Have you always wanted to be a model? And are there any big modeling campaigns that we would recognize you from?

Actually up until about a year ago I never even considered it but a friend of the family told me I should try it and had a photographer reach me on facebook. I don’t have any major campaigns at the moment but I will be doing a shoot for the marketing of Abercrombie this September!

Daniel has been described as brooding and mysterious, while also being vulnerable and completely lovable at the same! Think you share any of his personality traits?  

I would say I’m very similar to him, especially when you first meet me I’m pretty quiet but as I open up I’m very easy to talk to and have a very strong love for all my friends and I think that goes both ways.

One of my favourite aspects of Daniel’s character is his obsession with his engines. What about you, ever feel the need to get greasy-with-it under the hood of your car? Or are you strictly a lets-take-it-to-the-mechanic kind of man?  

I actually drive a pickup truck, a black ford f-150 my uncle gave me when I was 16, that truck is my baby haha. I don’t work on my engine per se but I do like to change my own oil, fuel filters, the basics, not on Daniel’s level but definitely not taking it to mechanic right away.

And finally, Collin, the question that thousands of girls, women, and maybe even a few men, will want to know now that you’re gracing the cover of Eternal hope: ARE YOU SINGLE? 

Sadly no, I am taken at the moment hahaha!

Sovereign Hope is out now! Eternal Hope is set to be released late October, make sure you catch it. Not only will Collin be appearing on the cover of the next book, but he will also be featuring in the book trailer too!
