LOVE this series

Waiting for Eternity by Alyson Root is a rich, atmospheric sequel that delivers everything I wanted and more from The Loch & Key series. Continuing to follow Erin and Amelia’s story—rather than switching to a new couple like many romance series do—gives this book an emotional continuity that hits deep. You’re not just picking up a new book; you’re reuniting with characters who’ve grown, hurt, healed, and loved through real stakes (pun very much intended).

Erin and Amelia’s relationship is tested in new, intense ways this time around. As Erin nears her 30th birthday—and the looming deadline for her transformation into a vampire—things start to spiral. Her body’s not responding the way it should, strange changes are surfacing, and what should be a beautiful transition becomes something far more dangerous. What makes this twist work so well is how grounded it feels in emotional truth. This isn’t just about fangs and immortality—it’s about trust, fear, and the kind of love that demands sacrifice.

The trip to Ireland? Chef’s kiss. The landscape, the mythology, the secrets hiding in the shadows—it all builds this eerie, magical tension that perfectly contrasts the grounded intimacy between Erin and Amelia. The addition of an ancient prophecy and a new layer of vampiric lore keeps the worldbuilding feeling fresh and original. Seriously, this is not your recycled vampire romance. Alyson Root has created something that’s familiar in all the comforting ways (yes, eternal love! yes, supernatural danger!) but also completely her own. From how vampire bonds work to the family dynamics and even the blood lore—it’s all new, compelling, and totally addictive.

And I have to shout out Sadie Provost, whose narration continues to be one of the strongest parts of this series. She breathes life into these characters—Erin’s vulnerability, Amelia’s quiet strength, the looming threat of the unknown—it’s all so vivid in her performance. I’m always impressed with how she manages to bring nuance and warmth to even the most tension-filled moments.

If you’re already a fan of book one, this sequel will pull you even deeper into a world that’s moody, mysterious, and filled with aching devotion. And if you’re new to the series? Start with Loch & Key—you’re in for something truly special.

I’m absolutely hooked and already counting the days until the next audiobook drops. Erin and Amelia have my whole immortal heart.

Loved it

Love this series. Can’t wait for book three. You see their relationship growth and how they work with family to save the day. Spice!

Couldn't Put It Down!!!

Wow. This series has been one of the more unique sapphic vampire romance/thriller series that I've come across. I almost wish I waited until all 3 were available before beginning it so that I can just run through them all at the same time. I CAN NOT WAIT until the final installment is released. It's the perfect mix of intrigue, thrill, romance, and spice. I am so ready for the resolution. Is it bad that I'm rooting against my own species? Not that I had much faith in us anyway. 10/10 Recommend!!!

Wow, Wow, WOW and WOW again!

Erin … Human and bonded to one who is not. She wants forever, she wants safety, and she wants security … for those like her, for those like Amelia, and for those whose failure to find their fated mate cost them everything. Can Erin and Amelia find the traitors in their midst, or will they be “Waiting for Eternity” for their dreams to become reality … I finished listening hours ago and I am still reeling! This story has me firmly in its grasp, taking on a life of its own. I say has, not had, because I just cant let it go! Beautifully plotted, and beautifully written, this one got ahold of me and just did not let up! The fully developed characters are brilliantly unique and truly unforgettable! From their growth and development as the story progresses, to their realistic emotional depth, they resonate as REAL! Some I loved, some had me wavering until they “wised up” as it were, while others … well, as they said of Marie Antoinette … I’ll hold the names close to avoid spoilers but I’m sure as you’ll see what I mean! The one thing I can be perfectly clear on is the absolutely stunning narration that brought these beautifully crafted characters and this mind blowing story to life! Every character is uniquely voiced WITH a vocal selection perfectly suited to their personality, AND be still my heart, that voicing is not only emotionally perfect, BUT perfectly consistent throughout! The pacing is comfortable to the ear regardless of listening speed chosen, and the timing is absolutely flawless! Every word, was crystal clear, easily understandable, and perfectly accented when called for, truly paying homage to the wondrous talent of a gifted author! Easily, FIVE fantastic stars across all categories. This one will stay with me a long, long time!
