It
Never Ends, the first book in The Vengeance Cycle series,
is a tale of redemption and balance in a reality where preternatural
creatures exist, but only behind the scenes.
Dani
Jillson, a young woman trapped in the daily grind of
life, is looking for a way out. She happens upon such an opportunity
during a particularly brutal attack one night, when an entity offers
to intervene on her behalf - but only if Dani will provide rather strenuous
remuneration for ‘services rendered’ in return. Dani chooses
to accept the offer and soon finds herself thrown into a world of violence
and vengeance. Acting now as this entity's Avatar - a servitor and vessel
of sorts for its wrath, she is sent out into the world to reflect the
evil that men do back at them.
Argent
Valentine is a solitary vampire who once ruled over
the prefecture of New Orleans under the auspices of the European Council
– an organization responsible for keeping the preternaturals of
the world in check. The Council's intent is to insure that the presence
of supernatural creatures never becomes provable to the human population.
Over seventy years ago - for reasons unknown, Argent abdicated the throne
and went underground, only to surface in the present day for a chance
to learn more about the unusually savage creature that now hunts within
his chosen feeding grounds.
Meeting each other
is only half the battle. |
Reader Reviews
Once it got going I couldn't put it down. Great characters and excellent plot. A welcome relief to a genre that occasionally gets stale. I can't wait till the next story! - Michelle Taksey (Centreville, Va) The vivid details, characters and emotions make this book a pleasure to read. There is violence and gore but there is also sweetness and tenderness. Jhada brings her characters to life. I truly look forward to the next books in the series to see the journey of Dani/Jilah. - Tricia A. (Hoquiam, WA)
Erotic Horror isn't a genre I normally would give a second look. However, I do like a good vampire story and Ms. Addams doesn't disappoint!

Her spin on the manner in which her main character, Jilah, is inducted into the blood is refreshing and different! The trials and tribulations that Jilah must go through as payment to her new patron diety led me to feel a certain empathy for her situation. Nothing comes for free!
Suffice it to say, I had a hard time putting the book down. But like with Jilah, there are some things that simply MUST be done in the course of daily events. I heartily recommend this book to any Fantasy afficionado. It is a must read for any fans of Anne Rice or any other vampire series! - Vincent Huckle (Washington, DC)
If you like stories about the lives of those that live in the parallel universe of of the alterworld then this one is for you! The characters have the immediate charisma and flair that make this book impossible to put down. A very unique perspective into the inner workings of the heirarchy and societal difficulties faced by the inhabitants of that lesser known world. I can't wait for the next book! - Michael H. Murray "Suicide" (Accokeek, Md USA)
This work is of a genre, and again, it is not. One can feel the longing, the desperate courage of the central character. And this is what allows It Never Ends to breathe, as this character, and her story, could easily be extracted from its environment and be placed in any other - this book could be adapted as a western or a science fiction story, it could be set in the Renaissance or in suburban Ohio in 1953.
My advice: Allow yourself the freedom to wander in the main character's shoes, to experience her story and think of it as your own. - Stu Mark (Redondo Beach, CA)
