I received a signed copy of this
book from an internet giveaway I’d entered and the following is my honest
opinion of it.
”Beneath Scarlett Valley” by Ms.
Dempster is a multi-genre YA paranormal romance novel which contains elements
of a fantasy and mythology. On the surface Harper and Cassidy look like two
beautiful sisters; however they share a horrific secret, they’re actually two
117 year old half-breeds consisting of being part human and part Furor who have
an insatiable to kill again and again every time the demon rage of this side rears its evil head; which is
why they’ve returned to their childhood home in Scarlett Valley. It is here
they hope to find and then drink from the ever-moving Source of Immortality so they can
replenish theirs.
When Harper and Cassidy return to
Scarlett Valley, Cassidy has had her fill of an endless life and while she desires
to welcome Death with open arms she’s still committed in helping her sister
find their quest. However, love comes into Cassidy’s life in the form of
Sebastian, the school’s swimming star, and now she’s reconsidered ending her existence.
To add suspense to the story Ms.
Dempster adds not only a adversary, the Seer, whose mission is to the prevent
the Source from being found; she also has characters who they’re what they
appear to be. The pacing of the story with its numerous plot twists add to the
enjoyment of reading this book.
The only thing I found which might
have improved the book, in my opinion, would be a better title. [Suggestion: “The
Source of Immortality”]. But, in the
end, I’m giving this book 5 STARS.
