The most tragic love story in history . . .
Juliet Capulet didn't take her own life. She was murdered by the person she trusted most, her new husband, Romeo Montague, a sacrifice made to ensure his own immortality. But Romeo didn't anticipate that Juliet would be granted eternal life, as well, and would become an agent for the Ambassadors of Light.
For 700 years, Juliet has struggled to preserve romantic love and the lives of the innocent, while Romeo has fought for the dark side, seeking to destroy the human heart. Until now.
Now Juliet has found her own forbidden love, and Romeo, oh Romeo, will do everything in his power to destroy their happiness. - Back o' the Book
As a fan of Shakespeare's Romeo & Juliet, I couldn't help but get this. I was never much into Romeo but it was written so beautifully that it became an instant favorite. This book is much much later. The premise was interesting but the execution was not what I has expected. There were interesting characters all very diverse in personality and voice and it kept me guessing.
I could almost say there were a little too many twists or "rules" to the book. I can't exactly explain that because there is a whole intricate system of the "higher beings" in the book that was very confusing and not much light was shed on the subject. I think it made for a good read and if you're a fan of romance then this would be a nice addition to your collection.
