It Never Ends, the first
book in The Vengeance Cycle series, is a tale of
redemption and balance in a reality where preternatural creatures
exist, but only behind the scenes.
Dani Jillson, a young woman trapped in
the daily grind of life, is looking for a way out. She happens upon
such an opportunity during a particularly brutal attack one night, when
an entity offers to intervene on her behalf - but only if Dani will
provide rather strenuous remuneration for ‘services rendered’ in
return. Dani chooses to accept the offer and soon finds herself thrown
into a world of violence and vengeance. Acting now as this entity's
Avatar - a servitor and vessel of sorts for its wrath, she is sent out
into the world to reflect the evil that men do back at them.
Argent Valentine is a solitary vampire
who once ruled over the prefecture of New Orleans under the auspices of
the European Council – an organization responsible for keeping the
preternaturals of the world in check. The Council's intent is to insure
that the presence of supernatural creatures never becomes provable to
the human population. Over seventy years ago - for reasons unknown,
Argent abdicated the throne and went underground, only to surface in
the present day for a chance to learn more about the unusually savage
creature that now hunts within his chosen feeding grounds.
Meeting
each other is only half the battle.

Reader Reviews
Once
it got going I couldn't put it down. Great characters and excellent
plot. A welcome relief to a genre that occasionally gets stale. I can't
wait till the next story! - Michelle Taksey (Centreville, Va)
The
vivid details, characters and emotions make this book a pleasure to
read. There is violence and gore but there is also sweetness and
tenderness. Jhada brings her characters to life. I truly look forward
to the next books in the series to see the journey of Dani/Jilah. - Tricia A. (Hoquiam, WA)

Erotic
Horror isn't a genre I normally would give a second look. However, I do
like a good vampire story and Ms. Addams doesn't disappoint!
Her
spin on the manner in which her main character, Jilah, is inducted into
the blood is refreshing and different! The trials and tribulations that
Jilah must go through as payment to her new patron diety led me to feel
a certain empathy for her situation. Nothing comes for free!
Suffice
it to say, I had a hard time putting the book down. But like with
Jilah, there are some things that simply MUST be done in the course of
daily events. I heartily recommend this book to any Fantasy
afficionado. It is a must read for any fans of Anne Rice or any other
vampire series! - Vincent Huckle (Washington, DC)
If
you like stories about the lives of those that live in the parallel
universe of of the alterworld then this one is for you! The characters
have the immediate charisma and flair that make this book impossible to
put down. A very unique perspective into the inner workings of the
heirarchy and societal difficulties faced by the inhabitants of that
lesser known world. I can't wait for the next book! - Michael H. Murray "Suicide" (Accokeek, Md USA)
This
work is of a genre, and again, it is not. One can feel the longing, the
desperate courage of the central character. And this is what allows It
Never Ends to breathe, as this character, and her story, could easily
be extracted from its environment and be placed in any other - this
book could be adapted as a western or a science fiction story, it could
be set in the Renaissance or in suburban Ohio in 1953.
My
advice: Allow yourself the freedom to wander in the main character's
shoes, to experience her story and think of it as your own. - Stu Mark (Redondo Beach, CA)
