Blurb:
The Forever Vampire saga continues…
In the aftermath of unspeakable slaughter, Robbie and Colt have escaped to the wilds of Alaska to face their immortal future. Things aren't so certain for their mortal enemies, Dylan and Issa, Matarian soldiers sworn to hunt them down and slaughter them.

Dylan is poised to begin his first vampire hunt and wants Issa as his partner, but Issa is far more concerned with finding his brother and tracking down the blond boy who nearly died on the battlefield. The entire cast from book one reunites in this thrilling continuation of their story, joined by a host of new faces--friends and foes--whose lives somehow weave together as they cross paths in their efforts to battle evil and attain their own happiness. Humans, Shifters, Daywalkers, and Purebloods confront each other with the guidance of three enigmatic sisters--one a Maenad, one a necromancer, and the other a human witch. Plot twists and surprises mark the paths of these diverse characters, forever fearless in their quest to cling to all they hold dear.

Review
I really liked the first book in this series, so I was very much excited for the second book cus the ending of the first book ripped my heart and I was like all the nopes. While the first book was so exciting and kept me engrossed the second dragged in a few parts and with a lot of characters getting some page time, this one really didn’t hit on my feels level.

This second book picks up right where the first left off, with Brendan and Richard dead and an all out war between vamps, wolves, and human seems imminent.  Robbie and Colt have to begin anew and Robbie a fresh new vampire, things are both good and bad. Colt has lost his father Richard and now he has to navigate life without his supports in place. Yet, having Robbie with him is making eternal life so much easier.

For others, their life is all about danger. Dylan and Issa are vampire hunters but with what Issa has seen he’s wondering if they aren’t just killing innocents. All he’s know about vampires being evil and soulless has been crushed because he’s see the love and caring they have for each other and there is just no way could things that are evil could love. He has to reconsider everything, and run from a Master vamp who is hell bent on making him a slave.

Throw in other POVs and just a train ride of events, and you have really nice adventure vampire story. While it does feel very all over the place, the characters are likeable and if you’re are a fan of the first then you most defi would want to read this one. Honestly, while I was expecting more I still liked the story and I am very much intrigued for a third book.

Overall, Forever Fearless is a fun read with young and interesting characters. I think a little tightening of the storyline would have done this book good, and filler characters could have been done without. Yet, I still liked and am looking forward to the third book (if there is a third book?). I say this every time, but I am such a fan of Jeff Erno I have yet to seriously dislike any of his books.

Blurb:
In less than a summer, shy and introverted Robbie Myers goes from eighteen and never been kissed to the passionate intensity of first love that could last forever. Literally…

Eighteen-year-old Robbie Myers has difficulty talking to people. Not only is he shy, but he seems to say the wrong thing every time he opens his mouth, especially to the mysterious, handsome stranger who shows up at his supermarket job, defends him from an aggressive colleague and then asks him on a date. He can't believe a hot, worldly badboy like seventeen-year-old Colt Abernathy is actually interested. Yet he can’t deny that the ardor burning in Colt’s dark eyes is just for him. In the space of one breath, Robbie is launched from his plan to attend community college while living at home with his mom and saving up for a car to the tender yet passionate exploration of intense first love. Little does Robbie know…

Brought across during the height of the Civil War, Colt has remained trapped in the body of a lonely seventeen year old. When he spots the slim, blond-haired, blue eyed young man, pushing a line of shopping carts across a parking lot, Colt knows instantly they’re destined for each other. There’s just one major problem: if he survives the impending battle between vampires and the Matarians - an army of brutal vampire slayers - he’s going to live forever. Robbie isn’t…

Review
I am a big fan of Jeff Erno if there are some of you who didn't know this. Its either I love the shit out of his books or I really like them but for Forever Young its falling somewhere in between, so it means I found it to be a very entertaining read.

Robbie is shy and a little awkward so he doesn't do well socially. He spends his time working in order to save for school and purchase a car not much going on in his social life. He is also magnet for bullies and sometime people take advantage of his kindness. While finishing up work and getting all the store carts organized Robbie meets Colt who has that bad boy sexy look. First, Colt is talking him like a person which is crazy and he seems very sincere. When Colt offers for them to hang out Robbie can't believe his luck and yet there’s no way it’s a date thing because while Robbie finds Colt crazy attractive there is just no way he would be interested, right? Anyways Robbie is all types of excited for his first ever date with a guy and sexy one at that, and can nobody hold him down.

The date goes bad fast because what Robbie doesn't know is that Colt is a vampire and unable to control his thirst. Lust mixed with hunger means "bye, bye, bye" ( I totally NSYNCed that) for  Robbie, good thing Colt's maker is aware and brings it all under control well barely because Robbie ends up fighting for his life. So, it’s like a bad idea for Colt and Robbie to be together, but you know young love, can't anybody hold them down. They're all in love and Colt knows he would never hurt his sweet and pure Rob ever again.

Throw in vampire hunters, stupid mistakes, and vampires hating on each other and you have an entertaining read. What I do like most about Jeff Erno's young adult titles is that they're believable vampires and all. Like yes they are young but his characters are never stupid, they might make stupid choices but they are never stupid. He's also good at writing intimacy between young people never too explicit and always just right because like get a clue 18yr olds have sex and I am alright with it in books when it comes from love and sometimes even if no love is involved.

Forever Young picks up there at the end which broke a piece of my heart, and while some things were predictable I still ain't mad it. I am looking forward to a sequel cus lots go down and so many questions need to be answered like what will become of our young vampire hunters? Plus wolves.

Should You Read It? For fans of Jeff Erno it’s a yes, for others if you want a light vampire read then this book might be for you. I really did enjoy this one and sometimes it surprises me the stuff I end up enjoying not because it’s such an amazing piece of work but because its just fun.
