“Throughout all my histories, I found no one I loved more than you... no one.” Those were some of Rhode’s last words to me. The last time he would pronounce his love. The last time I would see his face. It was the first time in 592 years I could take a breath. Lay in the sun. Taste. Rhode sacrificed himself so I, Lenah Beaudonte, could be human again. So I could stop the blood lust. I never expected to fall in love with someone else that wasn’t Rhode. But Justin was... daring. Exciting. More beautiful than I could dream. I never expected to be sixteen again... then again, I never expected my past to come back and haunt me...Itemize Regarding Books Infinite Days (Vampire Queen #1)

Quick & Dirty: A highly original and truly extraordinary read.Opening Sentence: Those were the last words I could remember.The Review:Lenah Beaudonte, a 592 year old vampire queen, awakens disoriented and shocked to find that, after more than five centuries, shes human again. She has wanted to be human again for so long, desperate to escape her brutal vampire existence. Lenah needed this, not only to save herself, but all of the innocent people who could cross her path. With help from herI wanted to like it, and at the outset I believed that I genuinely would. After all, there was a supernatural ritual; a mysterious vampire willing to give his (un)life for the heroine; a (true) love lost! But I didn't like it and part of the fault is probably mine for being over twenty-five and reading a young adult novel. I have several problems with the young adult genre, all of which were (unfortunately) contained in this novel.First, Lenah. There is absolutely nothing to like about her. I
This book may have just made my best YA of the year. Its hard to say just how appreciative I am that Maizel crafted a story that didn't just say it was 'unique' in a genre that is saturated, but was truly refreshing. The vampires in this book are brutal, merciless and live to quench the despair they feel through violence and bloodshed. And Lenah was one of the worst.Even Lenah as a human was intriguing. She didn't feel guilt over what she did exactly, or remorse that she was no longer part of
Okay, if it weren't for the excellently researched vampire mythology, this book would have gotten a flat out one star. But because this author obviously did research I decided to be nice in at least one area.But well researched vampires aside, this book was shallow. Really shallow, and that's sad because the idea would have worked so well if the author didn't use Twilight as a source material. Lenah was meant to be like... 590 something? Yeah right. Mentally she was at least fourteen. I could
Posted on: http://bookpassionforlife.blogspot.com/Infinite Days is the first book in the Vampire Queen series by author Rebecca Maizel, and oh boy, was it a great book. The story follows Lenah who has been a vampire queen for over 500 years. She so desperatly wants to be human and therefore she begs her former lover Rhode to perform a rutial that asks for a massive sacrifice. Once Lenah is finally human, she must try to live out her life getting to know how the world works again and also how to
This book! Wow! It's such a brilliant new take on vampires and it took my breath away.The writing is so beautiful and the storytelling and detail in this book is spectacular! I didn't get bored once during this book and was never confused!I recommend this to anyone who loves vampires, romance and self-sacrifice.
I actually won a hardback copy of this quite a while ago and I have to admit that, as much as it is nice to win anything, I was a little disappointed that I didn't get one of the other available books. This book has never appealed to me, I've passed it so many times in my local book stores and never felt any inclination to pick it up. So I was definitely surprised when I found the book to be enjoyable on the whole and I spent a lot of the novel thinking I might give it a four star rating. What
