Without a doubt, Forever Ends deserves a five-star rating. This is a well-written story. The author, Carol Hibbs, truly captivates you with her very descriptive story telling. She leaves absolutely no holes or guessing when it comes to the connection of characters in retrospect to the story. I love how Carol let's her readers in on the thoughts of the characters when in conversation with one another. You don’t see this from too many authors. I definitely did not expect for the story to go the way it went. When I read the title, Forever Ends, I automatically thought that it would have been a sad love story. This was surely not that. I could tell that, Carol, took her time writing this book. From the development of characters, the scenes, the descriptions, the little small moments and details, to background conversations, Forever Ends, made me feel as if I were seriously reading a movie-script rather than reading a book.
The character, Gabrielle, ultimately exudes a woman of strength and knowing what she wants and it was clear that as much as she was trying to hold back, she definitely wanted Ryan right off bat. At any rate, Gabrielle is very much so aware of who she is and essentially wants the best not only for herself, but for her children, Jason and Payden. I love how Gabrielle only allowed her period of grievance to last just a few days, and a few days only. Her thought process of “OK, I’m going to be down for this short amount of time and then boom… I have to get back in action,” is something we all should instill internally. Basically not allowing ourselves to stay down for too long because we have a purpose to fulfill. Now of course this was not what she said, but this seems to be the mindset she carried. In her mind, the move to Gimli was the perfect move for Gabrielle, but boy oh boy! I was not expecting the amount of twists and turns this story was getting ready to take with the house, Christina, Jason, Payden, Calla, Devin, Tess, Merilyn, and Ryan. I'm sure Gabrielle would have never thought that the move to Gimli would mean: a new relationship, her and her son's utilizing their abilities, dimensional demons, van-guards, a different dimension and what seem to be ghosts appearing and leaving writings on her mirror. Carol took me on a real journey.
Carol did a really great job tugging at our emotions and getting us spooked. I literally felt chills as we read certain parts of the story, especially towards the end. Who would have thought little four-year-old Christina’s story would end the way it did? The revealing of Christina and who and what she was, was the most shocking part of the story. What I thought was obvious in regards to Christina, was not the case. For the life of me, I could not figure out Merilyn and her random appearances, but when I did finally figure her out at the end, my mouth completely dropped to the floor. Now I'm officially curious about Merilyn and her story and am hoping that a spin-off will occur based on Merilyn.
With respect to the author, as much as I want to give an in-depth summarization, I cannot spill much of the story. It is full of surprises that I just have to keep to myself. Forever Ends is an absolute great read. Without a doubt, I recommend Forever Ends.
