Forever: A Vampire Fantasy Novel Kindle Edition

by Natalie J. Case (Author), Donna Rich (Editor) Format: Kindle Edition
4.2 4.2 out of 5 stars 48 ratings
See all formats and editions
Born in the dawn of man's history, Amara is neither human nor vampire and yet fully both; a killer, a child, a lover, a monster.

Wandering the world, she seeks redemption and vengeance in equal measure. Discovering love in its many forms and loss in its deepest agony, her life circles around two others who return to her again and again, until their fates are set right.

"The ancient game is played out as three souls, born together in the lost pages of time, are as they were meant to be. But to tell that story, my story, I must go back to the beginning. To the time before I came to be.

Before any of us had come to be."

Editorial Reviews

Review

"This is a unique take on vampires and I found the book very readable and interesting. It has a steady pace that can be slow in certain places, but it is not boring in the least. This world is full of rich detail from the places to the people. Amara is a deeply complex character whom you often pity. Since she is neither fully human nor fully vampire, she is not accepted by either side and is often in danger. As a reader I could simply not fathom living life where I was not accepted anywhere and it really made me feel a connection to Amara. The writing of this book flows and is really enjoyable. This may be a modern take on vampire stories, but the vampires do not sparkle, and it is a book that seems to have a life of its own. I enjoyed every moment of this book and look forward to reading more by Natalie J. Case." Kathryn Bennett for Readers' Favorite

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Natalie Case was born telling stories, or so she says when asked. Words were her first love and she grew up finding new ways to put words together to tell stories. Known to occasionally commit random acts of poetry, Natalie primarily dabbles in worlds where magic exists, where vampires and shape-shifters share page time with gods and demons and characters that are born inside her head find themselves struggling in a world made real through the magic of words.

Refusing to be confined to a single genre, Natalie's current works in progress span, and sometimes combine, horror, fantasy, sci-fi and more.

5.0 out of 5 stars An original take on vampire stories
Reviewed in the United States on October 7, 2016
Verified Purchase
In this story we enter the world of Amara, who is half-human and half-vampire. She goes through the ages drawn to both worlds but is in danger from both humans and vampires. You really feel sorry for Amara – she does not want to hunt and feed on blood but that is necessary for her survival; she is after all half-vampire. She seeks great love, either as daughter, friend, lover or mother and her search for love is at the centre of the novel. Her desire for a peaceful life away from scrutiny and danger is palpable, indeed it seems she will never be able to rest quietly and simply be. Follow Amara’s journey and you will enter a different world. This is not the world of the stylish modern vampire that we have been used to with stories like ‘Twilight’ and ‘The Vampire Diaries’. These vampires are more like feral animals – any veneer of civilisation is only skin deep.

3.0 out of 5 stars Interesting, but the slow and steady pacing, made it appear to be longer than it was.
Reviewed in the United States on October 9, 2016

This book was long, not a short tale and very interesting. It follows the Vampire (or Dhampir) Amara from her young childhood until the present day. Her struggles, triumphs, victories and defeats are detailed within the story and laid out as if she is sitting next to you telling you about the adventures within her life. I liked how Dovan was brought back into the story at an unexpected time and how he ended up playing an integral role in her life.
This is not a romance in the sense of the other vampire stories. It is more of a drama, the telling of an interesting life from the viewpoint of someone who has seen it all happen throughout the eons of time. As interesting as it was, I did find myself checking my kindle often to see how far I am in the book. It is fairly lengthy and the pacing is smooth and steady throughout the entire story. It did not pick up and so some sections felt as if they dragged while others felt as if they were rushed. That is the reason I give it only 3 stars, interesting, but not spellbinding.

4.0 out of 5 stars No Sparkling Vamps Here
Reviewed in the United States on October 14, 2016

"Forever" by Natalie Case is dark and dramatic vampire story. If readers are looking for something different than the typical teen angst vampire novels, "Forever" is worth checking out. There are no sparkly vampire, no teen love triangles and no high school setting. This story follows a half-vampire named Amara. She is lives a hard and cursed life, not fully human and not fully vampire. She has many conflicting emotions regarding what she is and what she does. She wants to be better but finds no peace with her life. The book recounts her journey, from way back at the beginning, to more recent times. I think fans of traditional dark vampire stories will enjoy "Forever" by Natalie Case and find the dark and dramatic tone a refreshing read from the typical YA vampire novels.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastical and gripping
Reviewed in the United States on August 10, 2019
The cover of Forever speaks of a gothic read, of hauntings, perhaps, or maybe something even darker. Forever is a vampire story, the third I have read this year, and not being a fan of paranormal fiction, I was relieved to find behind this gloomy and disturbing cover, a satisfying dark and engaging story written with a deft pen.

The protagonist, Amara, is not a regular vampire. She is part human, and this sets up an internal conflict as by turns she fights against and gives in to her vampiric tendency to drain humans of their blood. Amara is on a journey of discovery when, as a misfit repelled by what she sees her vampire kin do, she takes the difficult path of leaving them behind to find her way in the world of humans. When she leaves the Family of bloodthirsty vampires headed up by three brothers and sets off on her own she cannot know the adventures and conflicts that lie ahead. Soon she befriends a mortal, Jesse, who has a deep interest in the ancient traditions. When Jesse slays one of her own, Vahe, the two are hunted by the Family. A love interest grows between the pair as they flee, only to find themselves having to confront the powerful Crenoral, Amara's step-father. From here, the story continues as Amara searches for ways to belong to her human family, and to say more would spoil the plot.

Forever, a tale that is highly atmospheric and spans eons of time. There is plenty of bloody action packing the pages and Case displays excellent world building skills, a requisite for any fantasy author, dark or otherwise. Throughout the novel, Case explores themes of alienation and belonging, and of identity, tackling the age old dance of passion versus morality, as Amara resists her own innate and powerful desires. I particularly enjoyed the first person perspective of an older wiser Amara reflecting back on her life.

Very well written, with complex characters created with a sympathetic eye, Forever will appeal to fans of vampire fiction with an epic flavour who are after a classic read.

5.0 out of 5 stars Thought-Provoking
Reviewed in the United States on August 26, 2019
What a roller coaster ride through the centuries. In Forever the reader intrudes into the world of Amara, a child/girl/woman, who doesn’t fit in with her vampire “family”. This is a very different take on the vampire genre, and I found it refreshing.
Amara doesn’t always fit the stereotypical vampire we have become accustomed to in other books. The trials she faces as her human side challenges the desires of the vampire, culminate in loss, grief, happiness, love, hate, vengeance and revenge. Much of Amara’s journey reflects the lives of many of us. The decisions we make that we regret, that hurt others, that make us happy are all portrayed in the conflicts within Amara’s soul.
A very thought-provoking story.

5.0 out of 5 stars “You only live once, but if you do it right, once is enough.”
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 21, 2017

Thoughtful is not usually the first adjective that springs to mind after reading a Vampire Story, but Natalie Case's 'Forever' is just that; an extended meditation on what it means to be human. Imagine that Anne Rice's 'Interview with the Vampire' and 'The Vampire Lestat' were one book, with but a single protagonist, who is a combination of Louis and Lestat, and that character is a woman, Amara, rather than a man, and you have something of the flavour of it. There is violence and gore in places, but as the narrative sweeps sedately down the centuries our heroine 'grows up'.
