A pair of star-crossed lovers fight for their love and lives when they wind up in the middle of a secret world filled with ancient beings and secrets.Extended description
College sophomore Bryn Dawson is a self-proclaimed poster child for normal. However, the day William Hayward enters her life, normalcy is the last thing Bryn will be able to count on if she wants to be with him. Too mysterious and appealing to be good for a girl, Bryn feels drawn to him in a way that seems out of her control—as if fate is orchestrating it.Despite every red flag and warning siren going off in her head telling her not to, Bryn falls hard for William, knowing he’s categorically different from anyone she’s ever met. She never imagined how right she was. When William takes her deeper into the rabbit hole of his world, Bryn must decide just how much she is willing to sacrifice to be with him, knowing no matter what, fate always finds a way to have the last laugh.
Spinning a new twist on star-crossed lovers, Eternal Eden will put Bryn through a gauntlet of turmoil, challenging her to find the power within herself to become the heroine in her own story.

There's an increasing trend in the YA market on star crossed lovers, and Eternal Eden adds her own version of that into the mix.
Eternal Eden was a gorgeous, sappy yet satisfying and extremely addicting love story. With a Romeo and Juliet taste, and a star crossed lover's theme, this book was just plain wonderful.
I've been rather restless with books these few days. I would be reading one book, then my attention wonders off the book and into something else. This book captured my attention from the very first page, and held it until long after the last page, hours after the lights were out.
The characters were well written, and each one had their unique voice to the story. From determined, protective William to business like, proper John and drool worthy, mischievous Patrick, there was a whole range of personalities, yet they all worked together. Bryn was sweet, shy, and at some points, irritatingly modest. She captures everyone's attention, yet is so shy and insecure that she can't see what all the fuss is about.
The emotional parts of this book were much like a rollercoaster with it's happy and sad parts.I did spend a good part of my reading time laughing or crying over the pages, though I feel that maybe the transitions through the scenes could've been smoother.
I won't spoil the surprise by telling you what kind of paranormal being this book has between the pages, as that was definitely a unseen, and pretty uncommon surprise. I did have a hard time understanding all the rules and concepts to do with the paranormal beings, and the rules could get kind of confusing at times, especially inside the classroom.
Nevertheless, this book was totally gush worthy and amazing. It was a sweet, romantic, and captivating read. Ms. Williams' story presented us with another idea of what happens when people passed away. Her story flows smoothly across the pages, and creates a in depth, brilliant new world for readers to explore.
Although some less smooth parts of the book, and some of the confusing rules dragged down my rating a bit, this was one of my best reads in 2011 so far. It's definitely a good read, and I'd recommended it to everyone. Romance, the paranormal, adventure... what's there not to like?
