Eternal Press New Release Reviews

Here are some reviews on the newest paranormal releases from Eternal Press. And just so you know all Eternal Press books are now available in print on Amazon.com.

These reviews are by one of our ebook reviewers, Chris.


Giving Up the Ghosts: Ghostly Menage, Part 2 by Alysha Ellis
Eternal Press, May 2009
$4.50
(27,000 words)
paranromal erotica
ebook
1.5 fangs

Adam, Chad, and Benedict are ghosts whose only purpose is to make (human) Kelsie happy. (This seems primarily to involve frequent sexcapades.) But suddenly Kelsie's beloved ghosts begin to fade away - will she be able to find help in time to save them?

Ellis provides the back story within the first few pages, so you don't necessarily have to read Ghostly Menage, Part 1 to figure out what's going on in Giving Up the Ghosts. Since I haven't read the first story, I can't tell you if it would have helped me feel more connected to Kelsie and her guys. Because I never felt engaged by the characters or the story, so the explicit sexing wasn't very compelling.

With some polishing to smooth out the choppy feel, I think this would've been a much more involving and enjoyable read.


The Ghost Amethyst by Sherry King
Eternal Press
May 2009
$3.95
11,300 words
paranormal erotica
ebook
3 fangs

English professor Tom's wife Elaine died in a car accident and came back as a vengeful, hungry ghost who can control Tom's words and actions if he falls asleep. On forced leave from his teaching job due to his increasingly erratic behavior, Tom's former student Violet fights to save the life of the teacher she's always had a crush on.

When this story begins, it's told from Elaine's point of view as an angry ghost who needs Tom's blood and secretions to survive. The harsh beginning (Elaine is really, really evil) almost scared me away, but I'm glad I persisted. My only real complaint was the choppiness in switching between the three points of view (Elaine, Tom, Violet) in the story.


Whispers in the Dark by Marisa Quinn
Eternal Press
May 2009
$2.50
6000 words
paranormal romance
ebook
3 fangs

The Greek god Eros knows his soulmate Psyche has been born and longs to be with her. However, his mother Aphrodite seeks to destroy Psyche because she doesn't want her son to leave her alone. This sweet retelling of the myth of Eros and Psyche provides additional insight into Aphrodite's own psyche as she has to decide between loneliness and losing Eros.
