Elude (Eagle Elite #6) By: Rachel Van Dyken Published: July 9, 2015 341 pages Source: Personal Kindle Library ( Goodreads / Amazon ) Summary: This book is the sixth book in the internationally bestselling Eagle Elite Series.

The Blood Scion (The Scion Legacy #1) By: Nazarea Andrews Published: November 21, 2015 by A&A Literary 186 pages Source: Personal Kindle library ( Goodreads / Amazon ) Summary: I was just a reporter, trying to stay ahead of my student loans. I knew the rules, and I followed them.  I thought I knew how the world worked—humans lived their petty little lives in the safety of the sun. We loved and fought and—when the sun sank—we scurried behind our walls and lived in fear. That is when the monsters came out to play.  And even in the safety of the sun, we knew who ruled us.  The Houses. And their Scions.  Everyone knows the great Houses and their Scions—they are feared and loved and hated and envied. They are the gods who walk the shadows and rule all of our lives. They are salvation and death.  And somehow, I am one of them. MY REVIEW: There are 12 vampire houses which are the 12 vampire lines, each house with a patriarch and then...

The Ravens, House Cantelie.  We've been without a Scion for almost fifteen years.  But that will change...and her life will be mine to protect. MY REVIEW: For a freebie novella, which was recommended to read before reading book one in the series, this short 62 pages was enough to wet my appetite in the vampire genre again. As the Goodreads summary says, there are 12 vampire houses which are the 12 vampire lines, each house with a patriarch and then a hierarchy of...
