"I was a monster. And in that moment, leaning against Rhys's warm body, feeling his unnaturally cool breath against my face . . . I knew I would give in."Vampires aren't supposed to be real, and Kassandra is not supposed to be one of them. But on the morning of her eighteenth birthday she wakes with fangs, a hunger for blood, and a body with abilities she can't control. Turned by the irritating, yet handsome, Rhys O'Shea, Kassandra struggles to balance her former human life with her new life as one of the undead. With the world at war, the vampires have stepped in--but if the existence of the supernatural is exposed, then an entirely new battle will erupt. A battle for survival that will forever alter the future. But the past may be just as dangerous. Kassandra can't stop the dreams of a young Irish girl in the medieval countryside, a girl who smiles when Rhys comes near, nor can she shake a looming sense of doom. The last time she felt this dark chill her mother died, and now Kassandra could be next. The YA Paranormal, Eternal Shadows, has been revamped! Now with a preview of the upcoming sequel: Darkest Whispers.

Hearts are fragile. For five hundred years Kassandra lived--and died. Now she’s immortal, a vampire, and reunited with her soulmate, Rhys. They have all eternity to make up for lost time. Or they should. In the midst of a war against an insurgent organization, Rhys is accused of murder, and no one can prove his innocence. With Rhys imprisoned, awaiting dismemberment, Kassandra has only one option--train with Cade to learn how to fight this war, and develop skills that make her feel more like a monster than ever before. At night, Kassandra tracks down zombie-like failed vampires released to terrorize the humans. By day, she delves into the past, searching for answers to help free Rhys. But as she explores her past lives, Kassandra discovers evidence that she herself may be a traitor in the making. Anyone could be an enemy, old friends, or new. A single choice could define her in this new life: team player, or rogue element? Who can she trust when everyone is keeping secrets? One thing is clear: no one can survive without a heart, not even an immortal.

Embrace your past, and find your future. Vampires aren't supposed to be real, and Kassandra is not supposed to be one of them. But now, world leaders, including her father, are being replaced€”by vampires. And one day shy of her eighteenth birthday, she discovers she has fangs, a hunger for blood, and a body with abilities she can't control. Rhys, the vampire who changed Kassandra, is intent upon teaching her how to live as the undead. She learns that a stake or the sun won't kill a vampire, but human blood is a necessity€”an inescapable element of survival made all the more precious because the vampires are at war. Her desires soon lead her into peril when she becomes a target in their enemy€™s quest to expose the vampire populous to the human race. To make things worse, Kassandra begins to dream of Rhys in the past, and in the present she finds herself strangely attracted to him...as well as to the secrets he may hold.
