"Waking Forever" is the first book in Heather McVea's urban fantasy collection, also titled The Waking Forever Series.
Sara Glass, a successful thirty-five year old lawyer in San Antonio, leads a comfortable life. She is a partner at her law firm, a competitive runner, and a girlfriend to a devoted investment banker. And yet, she is discontented with the predictability of her seemingly perfect life.
Then a near fatal encounter changes all of that, restoring vitality to Sara's life. Rachel Collins, a charming but reserved art dealer, saves Sara from a violent attack and their subsequent friendship quickly heats up. Rachel launches Sara into a whirlwind of emotions and experiences that will change her understanding of love.
But Rachel has a secret and when her past threatens Sara, the two women explore a dark world Sara never knew existed—a world that will challenge her very notions of life, love, and death.

I initially gave Waking Forever 3 stars. After sleeping on it, I had to go with my gut and give it two. It wasn't so much that I didn't like the story, as there was definitely some potential for it (I am an avid horror/dark fiction/sci-fi fan). My biggest issue was the characters and their lack of depth. I'm not a writer, and I can't begin to know how hard it is to actually create and characterize a person. However, as a reader, if I don't like the character(s), whether it's because they seem fake, shallow, unrealistic, etc., it's pretty much all over for me. I could not stand Sarah. If she were a real person and I had the displeasure of meeting her, I would turn around and walk the other way. She acted like a spoiled teenager. I kind of like Rachel, but for someone who was supposed to be super-smart, um, Sarah? Really? I did not want Rachel anywhere near Sarah. (ALERT! POTENTIAL SPOILER ALERT! THE NEXT SENTENCE IS A POTENTIAL SPOILER!!!) I wanted Ela (the "bad girl") to win (I don't consider this a spoiler because, well, come on, everyone knows in this type of novel that "good" triumphs over "evil", but anyway, it's better to be considerate). (SPOILER OVER) I think Colleen was one of the most interesting characters.I'm a Lesbian who LOVES the horror/dark fiction/sci-fi genres. Do you know how frustrating it is to to read books you like and even love but not be able to identify with the characters, especially when men (and sometimes women!) with a really great story feel the need to write every single woman as helpless? What's more frustrating? I can read novels with characters I can (or am supposed to) identify with, but be completely dissatisfied because what is supposedly a spec fic or sci-fi story is actually a vehicle for a romance that involves vapid characters.
I apologize to Ms. McVea if my review seems scathing. I'm not trying to castigate, I really am trying to be constructive in my criticism. I'm just a really frustrated reader who would love to support her community by buying their books but feels slighted 80-90% of the time because I'm not getting what I thought I was getting.
All that being said, I have a feeling there are a lot of women (possibly even some men) that would enjoy Waking Forever. I know I'm in the minority when it comes to what I like to read. So - if you like romance, but with a few vampires thrown in - go for it! This just wasn't for me.

Waking Forever Waking Forever Series Book 1 eBook Heather McVea Reviews
I have to admit that I am a novice at reading this genre, but this book was NOTHING less than great.
I've been a bit depressed by typical lesbian romance lately, and was looking to expand my choices.
Great writing, charismatic characters (Rachel and Sara both), blindingly dynamic story line, smart, funny dialogue,
and sweet scenes (more poignant in this context). Of course the sex scenes were great (vampires!), but the romance
and the plot made me beg for more. Could not put it down. The talented Ms. McVea has indeed made me a fan.
Very well written and very entertaining. This is a series and I do intend to read the next novel. The main reason I bought the book is because the setting of the novel was in San Antonio, Texas, where I am originally from. I could relate to a lot of the places mentioned especially the Majestic Theatre. I loved that night time sky with the clouds rolling by. I guess this seems more like a review of SA but I hope you give the book a read I do believe you will enjoy it.
This the first book I read of this Author's. I can't say there was anything I didn't like about it at all. I was hooked on page one and couldn't put it down til I was done. I have always liked reading books with vampire storyline, but it's been awhile that one has caught my attention. I am glad I still have 4 books to go. I would definitely recommend this book.
I have to say, I was skeptical when I first saw this book and how little it cost. However, after reading some of the reviews I downloaded the preview. As soon as I finished the first few pages I clicked the 'Buy It Now' button. I am an avid fan of almost anything dealing in the supernatural and am constantly looking to satiate my need for lesbian romance that is actually good. This is an amazingly wonderful amalgamation of my two vices.
I thought for sure because of the price this would be a short but fun read. How wrong I was. It is a well thought out, suspenseful, heartfelt, and well written novel. The jumps to some of the flashbacks can be a bit awkward during the flow of the story, but isn't off-putting enough for me to give this book anything less than a five star rating.
I don't write reviews very often, but I felt this splendid little jewel deserved a rating and a proper review. Buy this book, or at least try the preview. It is free after all. If you like supernatural world and are a fan of ladies in love, this is the book for you.
This book could have been so much better had the characters been even slightly likable. Sara whined the entire book. Rachel was cold and unfeeling, brooding, and a complete ass. Coleen was contemptible. The only character I liked was the one I was not supposed to like, Ela. "Sex is an extension of the hunt". Bulls***! This book broke me from all vampire books forever. No writer seems to get it right and frankly I am completely exhausted by their efforts. Including Meyers. Hard for me to believe this is the same writer that wrote November's End, which I loved. I will not read the rest of the series. Just can't bring myself to do it. Perhaps it would better serve these Meyers enthusiasts to read the true queen of this genre, Anne Rice.
Waking Forever is a delightfully clever and entertaining story set in San Antonio, Texas. Sara is an uptight business woman who undergoes a traumatic experience, is saved by a stranger, and learns how to fall in love. The characters, main and supporting alike, are masterfully constructed and artfully complex, complete with back stories and idiosyncrasies. The plot is well-balanced, with paranormal and historical elements. The dialogue is laced with humor, the plot is riddled with suspense, and the romance is captivating. The San Antonio setting is unique; anyone familiar with the city will enjoy the references. Overall, a quick and enjoyable read. Looking forward to the sequel.
