Author, Ariel Swanson has a best seller called The Vampire's Return. Writing the book is a form of therapy for her ever since vampires killed her family when she was a teen. It is widely known that vampires have been extinct for decades but Ariel can't help but wonder if there are a few still roaming the Earth, hiding from humanity. After Ariel makes a guest appearance on a television show, she is kidnapped a vampire. His name is Jachin Black who was banished from the Saguinas society. Because Ariel talks about a well known prophecy in her book, Jachin believes she is the fated mate to the leader of the Saguinas. Jachin hopes that by brining Ariel to his leader, he will be welcomed back into the fold.

Vampires were actually made by the government in order to create a super-human race and drinking human blood actually acts as a poison if digested. If Ariel is the fated mate, her blood will be pure. Perhaps then the Saguinas and the Lupredas, who are werewolves, can live in harmony again and share the land they both want to live on. Ariel tries to escape Jachin every chance she can get, but it is useless since Jachin is so strong and they both are being tracked. Jachin is not the only one who wants Ariel, and now he must protect her and make sure she comes out alive.

At first, Ariel is very frightened by Jachin, but her feelings quickly turn to something more for this sexy yet tortured man. Jachin can't help but have the same feelings as Ariel does even though she is a human and someone else mate. But something calls to Jachin, telling him to make Ariel his mate and he can't stop wanting to taste the fair Ariel's luscious body and also drink the blood that runs freely in her veins.

Patrice Michelle has written an intricate tale of vampires and werewolves that is unlike any story I have read before. This is a dark tale of murder and bloodshed and Jachin is the catalyst for most of this action. Jachin is not your typical hero and he comes across as somewhat villainous. But this quickly changes when he takes Ariel into his protection. Even though he kidnaps her, his protective nature comes out. Ariel is very strong and holds her own and I was surprised she could take on the bad guys just as well as Jachin could.

The love that grows between Jachin and Ariel comes very fast, in a matter of a few days, but when they act on their attraction, it is a welcome release from all the tension. And if you like your love scenes that pack a punch, look no further because the pages practically singe from the heat between these two. Angst, paranormal action and love are in SCIONS: RESURRECTION and I can't wait to pick up the next book in this new series by Patrice Michelle.

Book Summary

Everyone believed vampires were extinct.

Everyone was wrong.

When Ariel Swanson wrote a novel about vampires, she hoped it would exorcise her fear of the creatures that had, not so long ago, terrorized the human population.

Instead, it brought her to their attention.

And to the attention of Jachin Black—a man banished from the Sanguinas, a vampire clan, and forced to hunt among the despised humans. For he clung to the prophecy given years ago, of a better way for his kind to live… a prophecy Ariel unknowingly used as the basis of her novel.

Ariel hates and fears vampires. Jachin despises humanity. But the prophesy—and passion—bind them in ways they could never have imagined. Ways that may heal the past, and change the future…

Scions: A prophecy reveals hidden secrets and holds the key to fulfilling their ultimate desires.
