My Thoughts

Forever Chosen is an adult paranormal romance novella in the vampire brides series. The books in the vampire brides series are each standalones, so they can be read in any order, and they are all written by different authors and have different lengths and heat levels. I like the concept behind a series like this, and I think it would be perfect if you are craving some vampire romance. My problem is I think I am just over vampires at the moment. Most of the time, they don’t feel unique or different enough, and that was kind of my experience with Forever Chosen. This book was ok. It was well written and the story and characters were fine. It just didn’t excite me because I didn’t really want to be reading about vampires. That is entirely a me issue, not a book issue. I think if you are in the mood for a vampire romance, this book and this series will be right up your alley.

Forever Chosen is the story of Katherine, a human girl and Hayden. The story starts out with Hayden being turned into a vampire, and let me tell you it is not a pretty tale of turning. He was turned by a very cruel master and then he was tortured for a very long time, which is saying a lot for an immortal creature. So his torture has stuck with him. Even so, I really enjoyed Hayden. I felt his struggle and I felt his emotion towards Katherine. Their story was a nice one. It clocked in at about 175 pages, so I flew through it very quickly, but in the end I was left with the impression that it was just ok. I have read other books by K.L. Bone and I really enjoy her writing style. I would recommend checking out her Rise of the Temple Gods series. Forever Chosen was just an ok read for me.
