"Somewhere, across the great expanse of time, at
some point in the far distant future, you will find someone else...I was the
love of your old life...the center of that universe...she will be the love of
your new life and the center of that universe..." and they shook me to the center of my
being.".....
We return with the final installment of "The Master
of Whitehall." This is the fifth book in this immortal vampire series. James, beginning his journey overseas, after
the death of his wife and baby daughter, not to return to Charleston for 123
years. I cried when I read of the deaths of his beloved family. James, born to a wealthy family, made so by the hard
work of his father and grandfather before him. Well educated in both knowledge
and social graces, James is the ultimate gentleman.
We learn exactly how James came to be an immortal and
what became of his life. Will his new life help him find the peace he seeks? He
can't immediately return to his family, they would know or be in danger. His
maker, Charlotte Ann, will teach him what he needs to know before returning to
"Whitehall." His journey ultimately brings him home. However, due to war and the passage of time, his home will not be as he left it.
James learns to live at home again. Spending time
with friends and traveling to all that he had not yet seen. Finally he returns and
there he meets the second true love of his life, Katelyn. Where one life ended
another began.
While you could just read this book, I highly
recommend the entire series. This one is the "icing on the cake." Written with
class and elegance. Such descriptive wording you will feel as if you've stepped
into the story. It's not just the
characters that are so well defined, but also their surroundings. I absolutely
loved this series. It feels real, as if the author has first hand knowledge of
vampires. I did gasp a little as I realized the story has come full circle to
where the first one began.
Thank you Rick R Veal for this classic immortal story.
