Best Shapeshifters EVER!

This book opens with a prologue--predators hunting, catching, crunching and devouring. Then having sex. Then, wham, the predator is a soul stuffed inside a human and on his way to meet up with ten other predators. The world is going to end in 2012 at the end of the Mayan Calendar, and these eleven guys (Eleven! That's lots of books.) have to save the world from the inevitable destruction because this is The Last Time and if they don't shape the End of The World, it will be terrible and horrible. So the boss guy, who's in a different category than the shapeshifter guys, sets up the group with personal drivers who are supposed to be able to hide their aura signatures. These drivers are ordinary humans, many female. (Don't know if they all are.) And they go off with their drivers to hunt the bad guys and save the world. These are not your usual shapeshifters, and Bangs does a bang-up job with the revelation of what, exactly they shift into, which is a HOLY crap! moment. Nor do they shift in the usual fashion. But she makes it work. She makes the relationship and the world building work. It just all works. Very well. This is a prime example of "the same, but different," and I'm really having a hard time not giving away the Big Spoiler. Maybe in the next book, I can do it. This is the first book in a series, and I am seriously looking forward to the books yet to come.

OMG !! This Book ROCKS !!!

In the start to what promises to be an excellent series, Eternal Pleasure introduces 'The Eleven'. Drop dead gorgeous hunks possessed with a healthy dose of attitude, and off the charts smoldering sensuality. These 'otherkin' harbor the souls of immortals been brought back to prevent the foretold destruction of the world as 'humans' know it on 12/21/2012. And, wait until you see what kind of 'souls' these testosterone-laden warriors hold within them. No, so not going to give it away; but, the author has come up with a very original idea that pulls you in and doesn't disappoint. This world is full of vampires, werewolves, shapeshifters, demons; the list goes on. But, this is also Ty's story and yes, a love story to boot. The progression of his and Kelly's romance is riveting, downright scary and yes, humorous at times. This book grabbed hold of me from the first chapter and had me breathlessly turning the pages until the satisfying end. Hopefully the intensity will be retained through the upcoming books in the series. So, definitely, run out and buy this book, grab a seat, and enjoy a marvelous roller coaster ride of horror, romance, and yes, laughter.

something different from nina

Wow! I bought this book expecting more of the same light, humor with spicy romance as with all her other books. I must say I was pleasently surprised. This is something different from Nina Bangs and if you are as big a paranormal romance fan as I am you'll love it.

An ancient Mayan calendar, a modern day romance within a battle to save humanity, a reading pleasure

ETERNAL PLEASURE by Nina Bangs introduces a new paranormal romance series based on a Mayan mythology spanning past and future. A slip in a carefully laid out plan draws a spunky heroine and an uber-alpha male into super-hero roles to fight battles to save humanity from forces invading everyday life. Breathtakingly intricate imagination, hot romance and humor make ETERNAL PLEASURE a top romance choice and downright reading fun! The Mayan Calendar stops at December 21, 2012. What did the ancient Mayans know that we don't know today? An alliance of predators, the ultimate alpha fighting machines with their primal instincts and their deadly bodies as weapons have joined forces as The Eleven, in a battle to save humanity from the Nine and a force that seeks the destruction of humanity and the Earth. Fin has summoned together forces from 65 million years ago, forces now in human form. Now as the Gods of Night, they must hunt down the Nine and prevent the ultimate cataclysm, the dark force that wipes out dominant species. To make matters even worse, the Nine are not alone. They enlist the otherkin, vampires and werewolves as subordinates and subterfuge in this wicked plot to complicate the battle to kill off humans. The Eleven are an unlikely alliance --- ancient warriors, primal warriors with an instinct for the hunt, raw sex and killing. Although these men might be human now (Or maybe not? What amazing imagery Nina Bangs creates!), 65 million years of hunger for the thrill of the kill and mating is too long. Lock these alpha males together in one room, and what a mix! Primal testosterone in human bodies. Can they work together as humans to save humanity? Kelly Maloy takes a job as a driver to pick up some extra money. The job offer and the pay were just too good, but when Ty Endeka climbs into her car, her whole world is about to change. Terror and desire mix together when Ty enters her life. Ty has never been a stay-by-your-woman kind of man. For him, it's all about sex, the pure pleasure of sex, at least, until he meets Kelly, that is. With Kelly, he finds himself feeling emotions and thinking things he never thought possible --- human things that go beyond his exterior right down to his soul. When Kelly becomes a pawn in this battle, can he protect her? When Fin tells them the cost of their love, does Ty choose to protect her or expose her to the darkness of his soul? His choice might seem difficult, but Kelly may have the most difficult choice to make. Wow! This was a fun book! The world-building in ETERNAL PLEASURE is exquisite --- eclectic, mysterious and fun. Nina Bangs gives more and more intricate details, piece by piece, to create unique and breathtaking images while also leaving just enough up to the imagination to make readers very eager to see how she will develop this series. Nina Bangs integrates her world-building perfectly, never once detracting from the romance itself. Nina Bangs adds each detail in the perfect measure to heigh

Fast-paced, exciting paranormal romance

A prophecy has foretold the end of the world. Eleven men are all that stands in the way of Earth's complete destruction. They are prepared for the coming battle, but will they be able to win the war? Kelly Maloy has been hired as a chauffeur for one of the men, Ty Endeka. In all honesty, she took the job for the money. When she meets her client, she feels intensely conflicting emotions - indescribable fear and uncontrollable lust. Little did she know that taking this job would show her that her worst nightmares are real, that there are creatures that go bump in the night. Ty is one of the Eleven, and the time has come for them to battle evil. He has to rely on Kelly to take him around town, and it is his responsibility to protect her from the creature he is hunting. Though he may be in a human body, he still has all the instincts of his former self, and his instincts wish to claim Kelly. Will the Eleven succeed in finding and obliterating their prey? Will Kelly be able to return to her old life once she is finished with this job? Will Ty learn how to behave as a human? Nina Bangs promises us a great adventure, and she delivers an amazing tale. ETERNAL PLEASURE brings us one surprise after another. There is never a dull moment - vampires, werewolves, alien beings, and an even larger primal force that I did not see coming. Once again, Nina Bangs gives us an exceptional read. I look forward to seeing what comes next out of this fascinating series.
