Title: Eternal Hope
Series: The Hope Series, Book Two
Author: Frankie Rose
Published: October 10, 2012
Genre: YA Paranormal Romance
Synopsis:
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.

The Review:
***Warning*** If you have not read
Sovereign Hope please do not continue reading this review as it contains
spoilers to book 1.
This book is amazing... well the series is amazing. I loved
Sovereign Hope but I have to say that Eternal hope had me even more engrossed! Frankie Rose has taken me on this whole new
level of paranormal… good vs. bad… love and friendships.
I’ve made it no secret that I absolutely LOVE some good suspense
and I must say that Eternal Hope has some freaking heart pounding, WTH just
happened, edge of your seat suspense. I
found myself rooting out loud for them and even felt my heart breaking for them
as well.
I love the Expression "he loves me he loves me not". Farley seemed to
ask herself this a few different times… and while I can see where she’s coming
from, I also never doubted how Daniel felt for her. Then again, getting inside his head and
actually feeling his emotions when it came to her made it a little easier.
I love Frankie’s writing style, the woman has got one creative
mind, and a talent that leaves me wanting more from her and wanting it like… 2
weeks ago!
About the Author:
As a child, I was
always accused of being bookish because I wore glasses- big, horrible, ugly
ones with too-thick lenses. Those kids, the super smart ones who always know
which tender insecurities to poke at in order to provoke
life-long complexes, used to accuse me of reading too many books and that my eyes were going to rot out of my head (their words, not mine!)
The truth of the matter was a little more embarrassing: I used to sit too close to the T.V. That was the reason why I had to wear glasses, but kids don’t really care about small, insignificant details like the truth, and so I was labelled a nerd. The label kinda stuck, and after some sage advice from my awesome nana (nana, you rock!) I decided that if I was going to be abused for my supposed literary obsession, I might as well develop one.
I guess that’s how I got into books and reading at an early age. Since then, I’ve been ripping through books like they’re going out of fashion, which, thankfully, they’re not. Good thing, too, because I’m a writer now, and books are my business!
Thank you to everyone who has supported and encouraged me on my journey- look for your names in the acknowledgements! And a big thank you to you, the reader. I hope you’ve fallen in love with Farley and Daniel just like I have, and that you’ll join them in the next book, Eternal Hope!

Scavenger Hunt Excerpt:
Farley felt her face redden, which was _________ inappropriate. Daniel
and Kayden were _______ she was watching, and for once their sparring lacked
the flashy showmanship they usually employed to _______ her. For the two of
them, nothing _______ beyond the dimly lit parameters of the hangar. Beyond the
lunge, beyond the parry, beyond the block.
This was how it would really go down, if they ever meant to do serious
harm to one _______. Movements fluid and graceful, there was _________ primal
about their circling. Quick _______ of calculating eyes, green and blue,
preempting the other’s next move. Kayden’s hair was darkened with sweat, but
both their chests rose and fell with __________ regularity. In and out. Slow
and steady. The stern, focused expressions on their faces said ____ were in
total control.
Farley let the darkness wash over her and kept her presence hidden. The
confrontation was too ___________ to interrupt. Bare chests, muscled and
tanned; silver flashes of metal as their blades sang through the air. Even
Cliff would have been impressed. Farley bit her ______ lip as Kayden darted
_______ in a sure leap, thrusting out with deadly precision towards Daniel’s
throat.
The ______ would have been a killing blow. Would have been, if it had
even ______. Daniel sprang back and duck-rolled over the dusty floor, crouching
into a defensive pose. With his knife ________, his eyes lifted to fix on
Kayden, but they _____ quite made it.
Farley’s heart leapt to her throat. Those eyes, piercing and sharp,
fixed on her _______. She swallowed and braced against the wall behind her,
trying to camouflage with the _______. Kayden shifted forward, ready to take
_________ of Daniel’s distracted position, but the dark-haired boy simply
lifted his hand. A wordless gesture:
____.
Kayden stopped.
Robotically, Daniel rose, his _____ suddenly vanished, and dropped the
knife into the dirt. Kayden’s apparent confusion only lasted a second; the
moment he ________ it - that she was there - was _______. One second he was
________ Daniel’s creased brow, the next he had spun around impossibly quickly
and was staring, too. Blue and Green. Farley felt her throat closing up. She
opened her mouth to speak, but nothing came out.
Daniel brushed a hand back through his slightly curling hair, his face
trained into a nothing __________. There was ______ he could do to hide the war
in his eyes, ______. “So you’re back.”
Silence flooded the hangar. Farley took a moment to _______, pretending
not to ______ Kayden’s fist clenching repeatedly ______ the handle of his
knife.
“Yes,” she whispered, her voice _______. “I guess I am.”
