I never, NEVER liked Zeke, the thought of him and Allie............ I leaned towards Jackal, just something about his rugged bad-boy, bluntness is freaking sexy as hell.

Fine, this letter was cute and and all, but NO ZEKE JUST NO.

I had intended to read Zeke’s Letter to Allie between my reading of The Eternity Cure and The Forever Song, yet the ending of the second book resulted in me diving straight into the third book. Thus, I dove into this little extra at the end of the series.

I’m not the biggest lover of these kinds of extras, yet with how much everyone else seemed to love this I couldn’t help but be intrigued. With it being less than a page long, I decided to give it a quick read. After all, it wouldn’t take up much time, and I would get to see what everyone was on about.

In truth, this doesn’t add anything to the story at all. To me, it was nothing more than a sappy couple of paragraphs. Had this been an epilogue for book two or a prologue for book three, I may have appreciated it more. As it was, I didn’t care much for it at all. It sounded far too childish for how I imagined Zeke, and then it fell into the trap I hate – where characters write what is happening and ignore the event to continue the message. In the real world, you stop and answer the door.

As I said, though, it’s less than a page, so it wasn’t as though I spent too long on this – less than a minute, in fact.

Awww. There's something so sweet about guys writing their feelings out in a letter, especially in this day and age when technology is blowing up (and yes, I realise that this was set 60 years in the future during an apocalypse - it doesn't make it any less so)

Zeke pours his heart out to the vampire girl he adores, and it's something I would stick to my wall and worship as it's so amazingly beautiful.

Zeke x Allie forever!

Okay... I was sure I read this before, but oh well... Not much to say besides that I loved this letter. There's something about a guy writing a letter to express his feelings.

Wow that was depressing. It really is just a letter, too. (If what I found on Pinterest is the actual thing, that is)(I honestly feel like cheating for counting this one in the Goodreads Reading Challenge). Makes you get upset all over again if you were already devastated by the end of the second book. I, on the other hand, being the person I am, looked it up prior to actually reading the book, and thankfully what happened was major enough that someone edited on the series' Wiki, so I knew what was coming, therefore didn't grief as much.

Zeke, oh man what can we say but wish you would have told Allie how you felt sooner and in person!

Having read the trilogy in it's entirety and then now reading this it broke my heart all over again but in remembering it all turned out for the best so despite the emotional response to reading a make believe characters make believe thoughts it left me with a smile which is what counts!

Here’s the main problem: why do I have to search online for a half a page letter which totally should have existed as a part of The Eternity Cure? It literally makes no sense why this extract wasn’t in that book.

Let me explain: in the Eternity Cure (not a spoiler, don’t sweat it) a conversation between Allie and Zeke happens but is interrupted. This happens towards the end of the book, prior to a large event. The letter you’ve no doubt had to Google to read yourself is written in between that interrupted conversation and the big event - it’s Zeke’s completely trivial and gushy musings from what he wished he’d said at that conversation (no points for guessing what that is and, incidentally, this dramatised level of mushy stuff js exactly why I didn’t necessarily buy into Zeke as a character for a long time). So this letter should have been in the book, it’s relevant only to that gap in time in the book and holds little meaning, and also it must be about 200 words - it’s not worthy of bonus content we have to search for!

I’ll tell you why else it doesn’t work - and yes, I’m really salty about this. It’s because the content of this letter to Allie only has emotional meaning, if it does at all, if read in book two and if read during that gap in time. If you read it even as an epilogue for book two, after said big event, the emotional pull from it, the injustice of it being left unsaid, genuinely no longer matters.

So no, this is not worth your time. I’m annoyed at myself for wasting mine looking for it! (If you insist though, read it after that interrupted conversation towards the end of book two so you’ve at least got a chance of benefitting from your efforts!).

Ehh...this should have been included at the end of Eternity Cure or the beginning of Forever Song. Maybe I would have liked it more then. Idk. Probably not. I guess I was expecting more from something listed as a separate work of writing on goodreads.
The letter doesn't even sound that much like Zeke and it narrates more like a book than someone writing an actual letter. I kinda wish I could un-read it because it makes me lose a bit of respect for Zeke. It makes him sound childish.

All the feels! This was a little heartbreaking. I am glad that the author made this letter available for us to read. Oh, Zeke...

This letter counts towards world-building for the series. It's basically just making sure things don't go left unsaid... sorta.

I forgot to read this when I finished the last book so we're doing it now.

It was good, but I feel like it would've been more impactful if it was in the final book.
