The Turning #2
Unleashed
A feud, which has been unsettled for centuries…
A vampire leader, determined to sacrifice his army…
A werewolf clan, ready to invade its greatest enemy…
A town on the verge of destruction, its secrets buried in a Native American legend…
This is Apollo’s story
In a hurry to leave the forest of Stockwood, Washington, and the feud between his vampire family and his werewolf bloodline, Apollo and Sophie flee to a neighboring town in order to seek a “normal” life together.
Protecting Sophie is the only thing on Apollo’s mind—until he finds himself in the middle of a town with a deadly secret—a secret which includes everyone he loves.
Now caught between his duties to protect the vampire family that raised him, share his life with the woman he loves and unravel the town’s secrets, which could destroy everyone, Apollo makes a choice. Determined to do the right thing, Apollo’s world is torn apart, causing him to unleash his rage on everything in his path.

About the author
April M. Reign
81 books93 followersApril M. Reign was born and raised in Southern California by her happily married parents. She is the oldest of three daughters and considers both of her sisters to be her best friends.
Growing up, she was involved in many sports: softball, surfing, tennis, and Kenpo karate. Many weekends at the beach with her family included her father packing up the long boards and teaching all three daughters how to ride a wave. The activity that stands out the most for her is the thirteen years that she spent studying karate with her family. The family’s karate days remain as some of her fondest memories.
Sports weren’t the only activities that she enjoyed. She played the accordion for twelve years and even played for Jerry Lewis kids fundraisers. During those years, she learned how to read and write music.
Besides writing music, during her high school years, she also discovered her passion for writing words. At fifteen, she began writing poetry. By the time she reached the age of twenty, she was writing short stories, with no other intention than to get the stories from her mind to paper.
At twenty-one years old, she married and shortly after, two handsome sons graced her life. When her marriage ended, she faced the long, difficult path of raising her two boys into strong, well-mannered young men. She took on the task with fervor.
In order to support her children, she worked as a litigation analyst for ten years at a large company and began to pursue a career in law. After long hours in college and even more hours at the law library, while still raising her children alone, she realized that practicing law was not the dream that she wanted to live. She spent the next eleven years as a U.S. Customs Broker, working directly with the FDA and FWS, clearing international shipments into the country.
While she worked full time and raised two adolescent boys, she also decided to follow her dream to write a book. A year later, Enticing the Moon was published. Since then, she has written six more novels and several short stories, and has entered many writing contests, winning first place on several occasions.
As an indie author, April M. Reign writes and publishes her own books. With the increase in her book sales, she was able to give up her job in the corporate world and pursue her dream of writing stories which she hopes capture the attention and intrigue of her readers.
Readers can find April M. Reign’s eBooks on Amazon.com, BarnesandNoble.com, and more online retailers. The books are also available in print at Lulu.com.

Another terrific book by April Reign! Unleashed is a fantastic sequel to her first book in this series and just as good, if not better!
Apollo is struggling to deal with the new aspect of his life, protect the love of his life and work through his allegiance to his vampire clan. Apollo has a lot to figure out and it seems as if everything is somehow tied together. Every time Apollo learns something new, it adds another layer to the mystery. And Apollo needs to be extremely careful because not everything is as it seems. The plot is very intriguing and different from any other vampire series I have read.
April does a phenomenal job of grabbing your attention and keeping you wrapped up in the story. You won't be able to put it down once you start!

This book continues the story of Apollo, Amaya and their struggle with destiny. This is a well written story; you can feel Apollo's angst in deciding was he vampire, human, werewolf or something more; a hybrid fiercely guided to do whatever it took to protect the families he loved and felt honor bound to protect. In his search to find out who he really is, Apollo uncovers the secrets regarding his and Sophie's parents arrivals in Stockwood. When the unthinkable happens, all of Apollo's love, rage, hope and hopelessness converges an his true nature is unleashed. April Reign captures it all to perfection.
