I'm so excited about this new series from Nazarea Andrews! It's the first of her paranormal/dystopian books I've read! Since this prequel is free and a short read, there is no excuse not to get it! Find out for yourself how amazing it is!
Synopsis:
Twelve Houses. Twelve vampire lines. We ruled from the shadows, and manipulated the world, and when humans came too close to destruction, we intervened.
Every House has a Scion. A fragile, easily broken human that stood shoulder to shoulder with the house Princes and Princesses.
Except for ours. 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.
Review
★★★★★ stars
An excerpt from this series was posted somewhere on the internet. I read it and immediately added it to my reading lists and wish lists. I don't read much paranormal and there was something about this series that really caught my attention.
I really liked how this prequel set the stage for the book that is to come. There's a great build up of tension in this installment. I really liked the mix of dystopian and paranormal and how they worked together to capture me.
I read this prequel in a short time and was left wanting more. I really enjoyed getting to know Octavian. He seems like a guy who is defiantly following the directions he is given. I'm intrigued about the loss he experienced in the past that has left him bereft and his house without a Scion. I'm also very eager to see what the deal is with Farley and how she fits in with everything going on.

THE BLOOD SCION Synopsis (The Scion Legacy, #1)
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.

Nazarea Andrews (N to almost everyone) is an avid reader and tends to write the stories she wants to read. Which means she writes everything from zombies and dystopia to contemporary love stories. When not writing, she can most often be found driving her kids to practice and burning dinner while she reads, or binging watching TV shows on Netflix. N loves chocolate, wine, and coffee almost as much as she loves books, but not quite as much as she loves her kids. She lives in south Georgia with her husband, daughters, spoiled cat and overgrown dog. She is the author of World Without End series, Neverland Found, Edge of the Falls, and The University of Branton Series. Stop by her twitter (@NazareaAndrews) and tell her what fantastic book she should read next.
