What if vampires had a soul? A soul that carries the memories and awareness of each previous life and incarnation?

 ⭐⭐⭐

Blurb: In this Gothic fantasy romance where the passion of Romeo and Juliet meets the sacrifice of Braveheart, 

Dr. Phenice Jones is plagued by gruesome nightmares of a cursed Egyptian Queen. When these nightmares bleed into Phenice’s waking hours, her past traumas threaten to overwhelm her and destroy her carefully constructed existence.

Everything Phenice thought she knew about life changes after a late-night attack by supernatural hunters where her fate unfolds as she undergoes a transformation from a mortal woman to a vampire. In doing so, all of Phenice’s past human incarnations merge into her immortal body, giving her powers she thought only existed in myths.

With the memories of her soul intact, Phenice must deal with her past, come to terms with her destiny outlined by The Fates, and cope with rediscovering her fated mate all while imminent danger is lurking in the darkness.

Will Phenice be able to overcome her pain, trust in The Fates, and open her heart? Or, will sacrifices have to be made that could change the trajectory of the world?

I received a copy of Mortal End for free in exchange for an honest review.

Mortal End grabbed me right away with a wicked, high-impact opening that showed so much promise. The beginning was dark, intense, and immediately engaging—it genuinely made me think I was in for something special.

Unfortunately, that momentum didn’t fully carry through the rest of the book. The middle section felt a bit lost and unfocused, as if the story wasn’t entirely sure where it wanted to go. The pacing slowed, and I found myself waiting for the spark from the opening to return.

By the time I reached the ending, the story took a strange turn that didn’t quite land for me. It was disappointing, especially after such a strong start. While there are some solid ideas and flashes of what could have been a great story, the overall execution fell flatter than I’d hoped — not my favorite, but still a decent read with potential that just didn’t fully come together.
