The Everlasting

Thirty years ago Scott's grandfather killed his best friend and shortly afterwards committed suicide. Now Scott gets a letter from his grandfather, delivered by hand. That letter leads him through a horror of ghosts and immortals. It's interesting and I enjoyed the ride. There were times when it lagged a bit, motives were unclear, and the resolution of all the buildup was largely a let down, I was left feeling a little like it was sequel bait. It also wasn't all that horrific, more thriller with some supernatural thrown in. ( )

After a man's wife is taken by a friend of his grandfather's that he thought was dead, he finds that his grandfather was the founder of an artifact that has powers that could change the world. Allying himself with an immortal woman with mysterious motives, he researches into his past to find the way back to his wife, and finds out more about his family's past than he ever thought possible.

The Everlasting was a fun read, but it wasn't anything tremendous or groundbreaking. It's still very enjoyable and I had a great time reading it, despite a couple minor problems with its pacing. ( )

I loved this book. the plot was generic but the pacing of the story was great. Like with most of Lebbon's stuff, it is very creative, and i have always been a fan of stories where the charachters must go on some kind of quest. ( )
