Caine Grennard is a Lupreda on the brink of losing control of his change and going zerker. After a fateful decision is made, he leaves his pack and his alpha to make a life of his own in the city. Then one night he catches a scent unlike any he has ever known and knows she is his destiny. Emma Gray has never fit in anywhere. She’s always felt different from everyone she knows and her only real friend is her beloved Aunt Mary. Yet one night she meets a man who deep down she feels is much like her, virtually alone in the world and fate is sealed. When Aunt Mary is kidnapped, Emma has no one to turn to except her mystery man, Caine. She doesn’t know anything about him but in hr heart knows he is the one person she can trust. When her past comes back to haunt her, secrets are revealed that hold the key to the prophecy the Lupreda, and the vampires, are counting on to restore peace. Little did Caine and Emma know that the bond between them could very well be their downfall unless they find the answers fast. Wow! Each book in the Scions trilogy by Patrice Michelle outdoes the ones before. Revelations is aptly named for all the answers we finally get to how to interpret the prophecy. It is a roller coaster ride of intense passion and death defying action that is bound to keep readers glued to their seats until the final page is turned. Enemies are everywhere for the Lupreda as their past comes back to haunt them when the Velius seek revenge for past wrongdoings and hope to destroy the Lupreda. There are still plenty of surprises in store for us in this conclusion to the trilogy sure to leave folks reeling as they are uncovered. Revelations is a very passionate story. Caine is so close to losing control that his emotions are barely leashed. Emma has no idea the real truth about herself or why her senses are out of control. When Caine discovers the truth about Emma’s heritage, the love story between them becomes bittersweet. He is drawn to her in an indefinable way all the while he knows he can never have her. His kind couldn’t possibly accept her and her kind would kill him before they’d allow Emma her freedom to be with him. Then there is the fear that if he is at risk of going zerker, who’s to say he won’t pass that predisposition on to his offspring? We also get a chance to visit with some old friends in revelations. Jachin is back to assist Caine’s pack in the coming war against the Velius. Mira puts in an appearance as well and I was particularly happy to see her again as she is one I would love to see get her own story and happy ending. Of course Landon, and his mate Kaitlyn are back as well since Caine’s alpha isn’t about to let him break ties to the pack without a fight. How all of these players interact and come together for the final stunning Revelations about the prophecy makes for some very emotional reading. I am so sorry to see the Scions trilogy come to an end. At least we have one more story set in this world, Perceptions, available. I do hope Patrice Michelle revisits this world in future books as I’m still hoping a few beloved friends will get their own stories. © Kelley A. Hartsell, November 2008. All rights reserved. |
