Every Last Kiss - By Courtney Cole


Every Last Kiss is a book suitable for young adults aged 18 and over. There are some references to love making scattered throughout the book, so a little parental guidance might be a good idea for younger young adults.

The story starts out simple enough in the modern day where Macy is trying to come to terms with the end of her 2 year relationship after her boyfriend was found cheating on her. Before long, it emerges that that’s the least of her problems though when she finds a gift of a Bloodstone necklace.
It turns out that the necklace is the key to her true identity and she is catapulted back into a previous lifetime in Ancient Egypt. The question is can she get back to her modern life without unraveling ancient history and changing the world that we know today or is she doomed to failure?

The book, in itself, is well written in a way that is half believable – there’s just one area that causes me concern… and that would be the way that Macy responds to the Bloodstone. As a spiritualist myself, I’m well aware that many spiritual young adults go through an awakening during their teenage years – which is scary enough if they haven’t been warned or prepared for it, without the extreme reaction Macy had causing confusion or scaring them outright.
I liked the way that the plot flowed smoothly… even though there is some time travel involved in several places through the story.

With that said though, I did enjoy the book – and I’ll be reading the other 2 books in the series at some point in the future.
