Murder, Murder and Murders Galore

Homicide detective Zack Tully was good at catching serial killers, but not only was he not able to close the case of the "Backdoor Man," the Backdoor Man murdered his wife and son, leaving him beat and broken, so he quits the big city and takes a job as sheriff in small town Eternity, a small mountain town.However he's not on the job very long before he learns that Eternity has a horribly high homicide rate, plus it seems that town sheriffs seem to get themselves murdered as well. He learns that the murders appear to run in cycles, a lot of killing, then a period of peace. He is determined to catch the killer, who calls himself Jack, but leads and clues are few and far between.To make matters worse the towns inhabitants are a little around the bend to say the least, the weirdest are the lifers who are afraid that if word of the killings gets out, that it'll kill tourism, but that doesn't stop them from betting on who is going to die next.This book is a mystery, a horror story and a little unbelievable, but it is very entertaining, never boring and hard to put down, because things in small town Eternity are not what they appear to be.Reviewed by Stephanie Sane

An Eternity of entertaining reading

First off, I thought this book was spectacular. There were some flaws, but that's to be expected, (No one writes a perfect book). I thought it was a healthy and masterful combination of mystery, suspense, horror, and a sprinkling of fantasy. The book starts out right away grabbing your (or at least my) attention, with the current sheriff of Eternity falling to pieces, literally. The pace after that continues at a pleasurable rate. My first bone to pick is the number of businessess and stores in Eternity. Granted it is a tourist town, but would they really have a cryogenics lab. Other than that, I felt like the town was very likable and life-like. Some of my favorite parts were when they discovered why the MO of the killer kept changing. Exquisite. The ending was taut and fast-paced. I almost couldn't finish it, because I was jumping up and down so much, with anticipation. This book is for anybody who likes mysteries, horror, or even loose science fiction. Also this includes some interesting information on Jack the Ripper. I loved every minute of this book. It's sure to stay on my bookshelf for a while, and provide an eternity of entertaining reading.Now, if they'd only make a movie.....

Eternity

What a wacky group of characters! This is the first book that I have read by Tamara Thorne but it will not be the last. Eternity is a mixture of suspense, horror and a touch of science fiction/ fantasy. Although the writer did not "tie up" all the loose ends, it is still a great story. Also there is a slight problem with the number of businesses in a this small town. With less than 500 population Eternity had several restaurants/night clubs, resorts, stores, an asylum etc.....My wife's aunt lives in a town of 500 population and all they have is a BP station.

One heck of a horror novel!

Considering there was no summary or reviews when I purchased this book, I wasn't really sure if I should buy it or not. The determining factor was how much I had enjoyed her previous novels. Tamara Thorne has definitely put herself to the top of the horror list with this incredible book. Eternity is a picturesque little mountain community nestled in the California mountains. New Agers flock there for Icehouse mountain, the UFO and Bigfoot mecca of California. Eternity is full of strange characters but there is something else there - a serial killer. This book was one of those I hated to put down yet didn't want to finish. I just kept wishing it would go on and on. Its a rollercoaster ride of a horror novel where nothing is as it seems. Its horror yet a serial killer novel also. Considering I'm fans of both genres, I loved this book. I have to say this is in my top ten favorite books of all time. Just superb!

REALLY Taunting

Eternity was another one of Tamara Thorne's novels that keeps you interested until the end. It is about the town people of Eternity and they have a secret that nobody wants to let out. This secret that they hide is terrifying everyone but nobody will say anything. The ending was a total shock as was with Tamara's other books. It keeps you guessing "who done it" and when was this person going to strike again and How?? There was always another way he killed people and it was messy and gory everytime!
