Starting out in LA, Farley and company take a detour to Montana to search for their missing friends and then come full circle, landing back in LA. This installment is just as addictive as the first.

The conflict from Sovereign Hope has morphed and splintered into several new and even more complicated troubles. Everyone Farley knows is weighted down with some burden, whether it's personal or it affects everyone. We see how Farley and Daniel are handling these new crises; it's a tight rope walk of suspense and anxiety. I literally had NO fingernails left by the time I finished this book.

Gripping and emotionally charged, this tale was sometimes terrifying and yet hilarious at other points. Jam packed full of action, suspense and smoldering romance, this novel is extremely well written. The twists will make you gasp out loud and break your heart all while keeping you riveted to the narrative unfolding before you. It is like being on a roller coaster with a blindfold so you can't see the dips and drops coming; there is nothing predictable about this book.

I love these characters. Farley is as impressive as ever, evolving as she tries to adapt to her ever-changing life. Daniel is just as focused on protecting her from anything that could take her away from him. I really enjoyed learning more about Kayden; he's a hugely intriguing character and we find out more about his troubled history with Daniel. Frankie Rose has created these wonderfully real characters who you simply want to know and have around in your life.

I think one of my very favorite things about Farley is she never moans “Why me?” and she doesn't shrink away from her reality, no matter how dicey it gets. She does her best to roll with the changes and she NEVER gives up. We definitely need more heroines like her in the YA universe.

Frankie Rose has crafted a highly addictive series and I cannot wait to get my hands on the final installment in this trilogy. (less)

Eternal Hope is a very well written book, filled with action, plot twists, and a some very steamy sexy romance. *Fans self* Eternal Hope has a perfect blend of lovable/hated characters and a steady plot line that will hold you in its grips right through to the end. I can honestly say I stayed up well into the night reading, sacrificing my sleep (who needs sleep anyway) until I was finished. I really didn't want it to be over. Frankie Rose takes you on an action packed journey with twists even I never saw coming. Heck even things I thought I had figured out were completely wrong. And saying that is something, there are not many books that I don't have at least 3/4 of it figured out before I get to the end. Well done, Frankie, well done!

So first off we have Farley. This fiesty little package of womanhood is one gigantic force to be reconned with. Sure she might not be the best fighter, but she is willing to learn. And yeah she doesn't know that much about herself and what she can do but that won't stop her from trying to protect those she loves at all costs, using whatever ability she has in her possession. Farley is a girl well worth the time getting to know. I truly admire her spunk and ability to get out of sticky situations. The best thing about Farley is that she still has compassion and believes that even though someone is "evil" that there might still be a way to save them. Farley is a girl who knows her mind and sticks to her guns. She is no wishy washy heroine. If that is the way it is, then that is the way it will be. She will do anything in her power to make it happen.

Now for the swoonage ladies. Daniel, ah Daniel. Where oh where did Frankie create this beautiful creature. Daniel is the perfect blend of alpha male, who still manages to be shy is so many ways. Sure he can be one sarcastic son of a gun, but when he is with Farley he is a whole different person. I can admit that in Sovereign Hope I had my doubts about him, but he sure made me a believer! Daniel is yet another complex character that will have you wondering what is really going on. Though we do get a tiny peek into his head with several of his PoV's it is still rather vague as to what happened between him and a certain messenger. Daniel will keep you guessing about his past, but never about his feelings for Farley. The one part, it had me teary. It was heartwarming to see him doubt her feelings for him. To hear him talk to her and be so unsure... *sighs* Really it is one of the things that had me in love with him the most. Daniel is my newest book boyfriend, I am never giving him up, EVER!

There are not many authors out there that can take a YA sexy scene and make it either too chaste or too skanky, but Frankie Rose sure can. Her steamy scenes will have your pulse racing and melting into a pile of goo. Eternal Hope has tons of action for those who love to be well entertained. This installment to The Hope series was everything I hoped it would be and more. I am really kicking my butt for letting it sit so long on my kindle without being read. If you love alpha boys who melt your heart and heroines who know what they want and go for it, this is your series. So, what I am saying is, why have you not bought it yet? Oh and when is part three coming out. Must have it now!

It literally had me finishing the book within a few hours, so when I was approached by Frankie once again to participate in the Eternal Hope tour how could I say no!

Let me start by saying that Frankie Rose really has delivered in this one. I really thoroughly enjoyed the first book in this series, Sovereign Hope. Of all the books I’ve had review requests for in the past, it was definitely one of my favourites. I was really, really excited when I got offered a copy of this one for review, and though I got to it later than I’d planned, I definitely wasn’t disappointed!

I was extremely fortunate to get to read this book prior to publication. I absolutely loved the first book in the series ‘Sovereign Hope’ and ‘Eternal Hope’ is an astounding follow up. Continuing off right after book 1, it plunges the reader right back into Farley Hope’s tumultuous life. I won’t be giving any spoilers, my mouth is zipped! I will say, however, this book was amazing!

The conflicts surrounded Farley were multiplied in this book and complications surrounding the people in her group only added to the overall conflict.

I love Farley’s character and she definitely didn’t disappoint me in this book. She’s tough and insecure, a combination I find to be realistic and refreshing. She’s not overly tough and somehow amazing at everything, nor is she overly weak and second guessing her every move. She’s right in the middle, bracing herself for the challenges ahead. She’s the kind of character I feel I could be friends with and I love that. I love Daniel’s character, too. In the first book, he was really strange and hard to crack open for the majority of the story and it took him awhile to really admit to himself that he was falling for Farley. In this book, it’s all out in the open and there’s no conflict regarding the fact that they are together, which I liked. I enjoyed watching the two of them learn how to be together and how to work together as a couple and how to steal moments in the midst of a crisis. It’s like book one was building up to a relationship and book two is building a relationship foundation between the two of them. Different, but totally enjoyable. The rest of the characters, both old and new, were great. I loved being introduced to some of the new characters and I liked seeing how the old characters changed. There was a lot more depth to Kayden’s character, too. There were some people I wished hadn’t changed so much and others that I couldn’t stand from the beginning, but they all had their own dynamics and felt realistic and well developed.

What I loved the most about Sovereign Hope was the unique plot, which became complex and even more interesting in Eternal Hope. All of the characters grew as the events changed them and there were consequences to earlier decisions. I have read too many paranormal books that create a separate plot in sequels that barely connect to the first and I loved that the plot in Eternal Hope was a mixture of the evolution of events and consequences of decisions made while figuring out how to escape the conflicts in book one.

Eternal Hope was just as good as or even better than Sovereign Hope and I will definitely continue to series. The author does a wonderful job of crafting a good story. The plot and the characters are complex and ever changing and I also love the way she writes. I definitely recommend this book/series to people looking for a unique paranormal romance with great characters. It’s a bit more mature than a lot of YA since Farley is 18, but it’s also not an adult paranormal romance, either.

Eternal Hope is the second book in The Hope Series by Frankie Rose. So if you haven't read Sovereign Hope then you want to read that first. Eternal Hope started out slow for me, but once I got about a third of the way through the book, the pace picked up and I didn't want to put it down! I felt like I really got to know Daniel better in this book, whereas in Sovereign Hope he is more of mystery. Farley and Daniel's relationship grows and it is nice to see it develop.

We pick up the story a short time after the end of Sovereign Hope. For those who do not remember my review on Sovereign Hope, here is a brief background.

Farley Hope, who is only 18, is part of a prophecy that will destroy the evil Reavers, who are immortals that take the soul of others, and they cannot be killed. As the Reavers try to kill Farley, she is kept safe by Agatha and Daniel, who are part of group trying to stop the Reavers. In Eternal Hope, Farley and Daniel, as well and Tess and Oliver are hiding from the Reavers, as we see them leave L.A. to meet up with Daniel’s friends in Montana. Agatha, who was one of Farley’s main protectors, is still missing.

The romance between Farley and Daniel is very much real and hot, though neither of them dare to act on their feelings, with so much danger surrounding them. The trip to Montana, brings in new characters in this book, Cassie, Anna, Gray, and also has a bigger role for Kayden, who is a great character.

There is so much going on in this book, with the battle between Daniel and his friends; Farley & Daniel; the Immundus and the Reavers; Kayden and Daniel; and Farley and Simeon. At times it was a bit slow early on, trying to understand what exactly was happening and why. Farley has her visions often, as she is pulled into the dream world of the powerful old Reaver, Simeon, who wants Farley for his own ulterior motives.

There was a lot of action & suspense, within all stories evolving in this book; Why did Daniel and Kayden hate each other? Was Simeon real, and why did he want Farley? Agatha.. is she now good or bad? Why has Oliver changed? So many questions, and yes Frankie Rose does answer all of them by the end.

There were a lot of surprises, twists, betrayals, and the wonderful romance between Farley and Daniel. I thought Farley was an even better tough kick assed heroine in this book, and it was nice to see a more loving Daniel in this book. They make a great couple.

One of the best things about this series, is the wonderful characters that Frankie Rose has created..Farley, Daniel, Kayden, Tess and Oliver. You care about them, and you root for them to stay together and survive. The last quarter of the book was very exciting, and I found Eternal Hope to be an excellent read. If you have not read this series, you must start with Sovereign Hope first, in order to truly understand the storyline.

The story picks up a few weeks after Sovereign Hope, with the group looking for their friends who have been missing for some time which leads them to Montana. If you thought Farley has faced some scary people before, you will be shocked at the latest threat; an ominous entity that will stop at nothing to get a hold of Farley. I was surprised with the twist Frankie throws in. I felt sympathy for this evil, which I don’t think I have for any other villain. This threw me a little, but once you read Eternal Hope you will understand what I’m talking about.
I loved the addition of Kaydens character; he brings an extra element to the story. He’s almost the comic relief, with snappy one liners and a cheeky demeanour. We find out more about his and Daniels past, which is quite heartbreaking. I love Daniel, but Kayden now his own spot in my heart.
Farley grows a lot during Eternal Hope. She’s already a down-to-earth, grounded eighteen year old who has dealt with more than most people could ever imagine. She has a backbone and works through her fear to face her problems and enemies. Daniel and Farley’s relationship is explored a whole lot more. They’re flawed people who carry a lot of baggage, but it gives them a feeling of realness, like they were a random couple you might meet on the street. Daniel is broken is many ways, he’s been treated awfully during his life, some of it incredibly cruel and you wonder how he’s not a complete lunatic. You’ll love him even more.
We get to learn more about Oliver and Tess, plus some new characters. I loved reading about all their relationships and how they interact with one another. The conflict between some of them is interesting and it’s great reading through their little, and big, problems with one another. Frankie blends all these characters and their personalities into the story seamlessly.
Eternal Hope is a fantastic second installment to the Hope Series, full of action and drama. It’s a unique paranormal world and Frankie should be commended at how well it works. The wait for book three is going to drive me nuts. I need more of these characters!

I liked the new twist that the author gives on immortals. It was a fresh look on something that has been done a lot. My only complaint about the first book was there wasn't enough romance for my taste. Well, ladies and gents, my prayers have been answered. I LOVED THIS BOOK! There's a lot more romance in this book...I mean A LOT MORE!! Come to momma! I love when there is a good balance of paranormal as well as romance. I can't contain my excitement! I wish I could make everyone read these books...like right now.

In the second installment, Farley leaves with Daniel to Montana. She is no longer safe in her home with the Immundus still after her. Her relationship with Daniel is closer than it was in the first book. He almost seems like a new man. And boy does he get protective over Farley....so sexy. Farley has another one of her visions and comes face to face with an old immortal, one that has been locked away for centuries. His name is Simeon, the immortal that created the first whyte. He thinks that Farley may be the vessel that he needs to bring back his dead wife's soul. Not everything is as it seems in book two. There are a lot of plot twists that I didn't see coming. There's also a little sliver of a love triangle. Not an annoying one, I actually found it quite funny. Maybe because I have a sick sense of humor sometimes :-)

I kinda have the hots for Kayden, too. I hope I get to read more about him in the next book. I really liked Farley in this book. She is a lot like myself, stubborn and doesn't listen. LOL She kicks ass a few times. I'm looking forward to what she will do in the next one.

After reading this book, I realized that I have a huge girl crush on Frankie Rose. I want to hug and kiss her because I loved it so much. Plus she's totally hot!! And I say this in a total non-homosexual way. She rocked my world. Now I'm going to have to be on the look-out for the next book.

OMG I just have to say that I absolutely love The Hope Series! The author has done an excellent job of weaving a story that captures you right from the beginning. Eternal Hope starts off right where Sovereign Hope ended. Daniel and Farley have killed Farley's father and brothers with the help of Kayden. They are trying to see if they can find their friends who fought with them and try and find Agatha. Farley is so torn up about losing Aldan that she can't stand to think she has lost Agatha to. So Daniel tells her they are going to follow a lead and see if they can find Agatha.

Once Daniel has the plans solid he and Farley and Tess and Oliver go off to the place where they think they will find answers. Only when they get there they find more than answers. Farley is thrown a curve ball with Daniel and his past and what she is told and what she sees will break her heart. She will have to decide what her feelings are for Daniel and whether or not they are worth it. She will meet some people who are angry and have secrets of their own that they are keeping and when the truth comes out to Farley she will have to decide who to trust and who not to trust.

As if that is not the worst of it Kayden helped them and they help him in return only to find out that the Quorum wants Kayden back. My heart bleed and I cried when I read about Kayden. I really do love him as a character and he really does deserve a second chance because he made a mistake and he has been paying for that mistake all this time. Kayden lives with the shame and the guilt and pain of what he has done and he is ready to move on. But will Daniel forgive him?

Poor Daniel has not had very good luck with communication and he does not know how to tell Farley how he is feeling. He is about to lose her and he knows it but he still can't face the past to move on to the future. Daniel has a good heart but he better get to stepping up to the plate or someone else will take that plate for him. He is so desperate to find Agatha to that he sometimes forgets about Farley. That is until she starts having her visions again and passing out. He is angry with himself because he can't help her when she is having these episodes.

One thing is for sure there is an evil presence that is lurking and waiting to kill Farley. He wants Farley and will stop at nothing to get her. He is an ancient immortal and he is reeking havoc in Farley and Daniels life. What will happen to Farley? Will she be taken by this evil immortal? What will happen with Kayden? Will the Quorum still continue to punish him? What will Daniel do? What is he willing to sacrifice?

This is an epic sequel to this series and I need book three already! Lord I can't wait to read it!(less)

And it does not disappoint. The plot, characters, and world building are so incredibly well-crafted; it’s hard to believe it’s not actually real. Plus, Frankie Rose writes some of the best kickass action scenes.

I love Frankie’s writing! The narration is entirely relatable. She weaves in the side stories seamlessly. Not too much or too little, and she places them exactly where they belong. And the pacing – another flawless execution. Everything is where it ought to be…we garner new information at the precise time; it is all just so perfectly balanced.

I don’t want to spoil the plot, but it is completely engaging. There is so much that goes down in this book; it’s not just filler like a lot of second novels in a series. It’s full of action and suspense, yet there are also nice amounts of character development and fresh revelations. And, then there is the romance…

I absolutely adore Farley and Daniel together. There are moments between them that sizzle off the pages and left me fanning myself. However, the romance doesn’t overpower the story in these books. Farley and Daniel have actual communication; it’s not just a bunch of getting lost in each other’s eyes and drooling over one another. They aren’t so busy with each other that they completely (and ignorantly) neglect the events happening around them. So refreshing.

Then there’s Kayden. He wasn’t present in a lot of the first book and he is awesome, so I’m happy to report there is MUCH more of him in this installment! We find out what the tension between Daniel and him is all about. I mean, wow, no wonder Daniel is so on edge around him. Not that I dislike Kayden, obviously…what happened between them is horrible, but it was long ago and I forgave it.

I also thoroughly enjoyed learning more about Simeon (a Reaver introduced in the first book who accidentally turned his wife into a vicious creature while trying to save her). Simeon and his wife’s story is heartbreaking and I felt so bad for him. And Aggie! Oh, Aggie. I can’t actually talk about her, because it would majorly spoil it, but I love her so much! I’ll just say she is one of the friends mentioned in the synopsis that disappeared and we learn what happens with all that in this book.

To top it all off, the ending is perfectly setup for the third book. It’s satisfying while still maintaining an edge of anticipation. I could literally go on all day about how wonderful this book is, but I’ll refrain because you need to read it for yourself. :)

So yeah. This book is made of win. It is completely absorbing. If you haven’t started this series yet, then what the heck are you waiting for?! Really, I highly recommend it to not only the target YA audience, but adults too.

Needless to say, I was anxious to get my hands on Eternal Hope. As with most series that you fall in love with you always hope that the author doesn't disappoint with next installment. Frankie Rose did not disappoint me. She thrilled me yet again.

We pick back up in the lives of Farley, Daniel, Tess and Oliver as they search for information on their missing friends and allies, who were lost in the battle to save both Farley and Daniel's lives as they fought the Reavers. The journey takes them from Los Angeles to Montana and a few new Scooby gang members enter the story line. Along with one old one, Kayden.

The Quorum, a group intrusted to keep balance in the world, is taking an extremely active role in the lives of this group; controlling and manipulating them with every trick they can come up with. They have taken on the roles of puppet masters and not all the puppets are completely aware.

While Daniel and Farley must weed through the troubles with the Quorum and the Reavers, they must also figure out their own relationship. They are undeniably drawn to each other and very much in love but there are other factors to consider. The relationship between these two deepens and grows and we are able to get a taste of Daniel that was barely seen in Sovereign Hope. He's much less guarded with his feelings toward Farley and there was a sweetness to him that was quite captivating.

We also get a much larger dose of Kayden and Tess. For that, Frankie, I thank you. I love them both and they rank pretty high up on my all time favorite book character list. Tess is a spunky little smart ass and a fierce friend. Everyone needs a Tess in their lives. Kayden is a big cup of snark with just a spoonful of melancholy swirled in. He too is a fierce friend and will risk everything for those he cares for.

In my review of Sovereign Hope, I stated that Frankie writes like a movie playing in my head. I still hold to those words. I so easily picture an action packed thrill ride blockbuster when I read her words. I thoroughly enjoyed Eternal Hope and very much look forward to Lost Hope, as well as anything and everything else Frankie Rose writes in the future.

How much do I love Frankie Rose and her Hope series?!? I just finished reading book 2 and it was just as awesome as the first!

The number one thing that I really like about Frankie’s writing is the simplicity and to-the-point-ness of it. Some of the indie authors I read put too much in the story, whether it’s too many words or scenes that seem irrelevant. Frankie doesn’t do that at all. Every scene, every dialogue, even every steamy moment, has a purp...more

It's ok. Ended better than I thought it would. I was nervous toward the 2/3 mark- it looked like it would take a turn down lame lane. Lots of pages taken up with endless make out scenes. If that's ur thing, awesome. It's not for me so much. A few are fine, but too many and they lose effectiveness. I like seeing more of kayden. Not sure I like the plot twist pushed on him. Seems cliched. Still better then most books for the $. And at 400+ pages u certainly get ur money worth in that dept.

The first half of this book was pretty boring on and off and then after the middle, things got interesting quick. In so many ways this was a better book than the first one. I have mixed feelings about Kayden. I kind of like him, a lot but I don't know if he would be the right person for Farley. I'm honestly not sure if the boy, Daniel, whom Farley is with now is right for her either. It's kind of a complicated book full of action and emotions.

I got this book on a recommendation from a friend, who loved it so much I had to try it out. So glad I did. What an adrenaline rush. I hadn’t read Sovereign Hope (the first in the series), but the author did a great job of making this a stand-alone. I loved Farley! What an awesome, strong female character. She grits her way through some really hair-raising experiences, dealing with the Quorum and the Reavers, all the while trying to figure out her relationship with the gorgeous Daniel. There’s a...more

I love Frankie's writing and her books--they are fantastical but relevant, exciting and absorbing, stand-alone but thrillingly intertwined. Entertaining, too. Dig into the Hope Series, as I am doing right now, and like me you won't be able to put it down!

Frankie Rose ALWAYS writes the most amazing stories filled to the brim with excitment, swoon-worthy boys, kick-ass girls, menacing villians (who you can't help but find a soft spot for), and then there is Daniel (that name alone is said with a sweet sigh). Oh, yah and we can't forget bff's that are amazing and brilliant and where can I get a Tess? I can't wait for Frankie's next excellent book because she is a sure thing:) Happy reading everybody.
