Review by Vicky London
Scions Insurrection is the story I’ve been waiting for in this series. Landon Rourke is a werewolf and a loner. He has been exiled from his pack but never manages to completely cut himself off from his contentious family. Years ago, a tragic accident brought him a responsibility that he’s never forgotten. He has been keeping watch over Kaitlyn McKinney, a young police detective who becomes caught up in the power struggle between the vampires and the werewolves. A prophecy has foretold that one day a truce will come between the races. Landon and Kaitlyn will play a part as their attraction for each other reaches a flashpoint.
I have to admit that I haven’t read much of Harlequin’s category romance. For a long time it seemed like it was all millionaires and secret babies. A few years ago Harlequin started the Nocturne line which is their paranormal category. Still, I hadn’t read any until receiving Patrice Michelle’s first book in her Scions series. I was very pleasantly surprised and impressed at the quality of writing. Since then, I’ve dipped my toes in the waters with a variety of category romances. Patrice, like many other Harlequin authors, is an excellent story teller. She manages to pack a ton of information and world building into less than 300 pages. The Scions series is also easy to read each book as a stand alone. You don’t have to read the books that came before to fully enjoy them. The next book in the series is Scions: Revelation, release is fall 2008. I would definitely recommend this book and series. Also if you have the opportunity, why not try something new? You might be surprised and find a new favorite author.
