Origins of the Supernaturals #4

by Jean Booth

For three hundred years I lived with Stephan; learning about the culture forced upon me, growing as a pyrokinetic vampire and healing from Mneseus' century of abuse. Before Stephan's guidance and direction, I was an empty shell. His kindness, compassion and just beliefs showed me that there could be a life without pain. Over time, I learned to love again. Foolishly I believed Stephan and I would be partners, comfortable and content with out half-life for eternity.Then She came and ruined it.I left them to find a place I could spend the rest of my lonely years. Mneseus' last words reverberated through the centuries, reminding me, I wasn't worthy of love. It would be now, when I finally resigned myself to an eternity of solitude, that I would find it. Logan was everything I'd ever needed in a man, with one fatal flaw. Could I look past that, risking my heart, my future and his very life to be with him? Was love truly enough?

This continues from the previous Created & Changed with the story mainly based on Victoria after she had been rescued (from Mneseus) and split up with Stephan when he and Natasha mated. This is her journey into love. It started as she left Stephan and Natasha to find a place to be alone. Going down to a safe house near her to feed she found her soul mate Logan.

I really like/love Logan as he is strong and good for Victoria. However, too much of the book went into the description of their romance and not enough into the continuation of the series. Raif had sacrificed himself to save Alantis, so ..... what is going to happen next. Stephan and Natasha appeared towards the end of the book with a little of progress towards the building of the story but not enough, I want more(sounds like a whiny kid... but I really want more).

The series so far are very interesting with the new world of vampires and shapeshifters combined with Alantis. Looking forward to the next book in the series. As I started reading the book, I wondered, how many will there be in this series and will Jean be able to come out with names all starting with c and are most appropriate for the content of the book, Victoria is totally consumed with the love for Logan. Please continue pouring out your creativity into these stories so that more can enjoy them.

I hugged this book when I was finished. You're so SO good at letting me feel the characters emotions, I feel so connected to them that I cry with them, feel their pain, and smile when things work out. Get the next one out now!!!! I have to know what happens next!

After a life no one should endure, Tori was saved by Stephan someone she grew to love. She spent 300 years at his side waiting on him to notice her wallflower who did whatever he asked with question. They she came along and everything changed! She was mated but that did not stop Stephan and Natasha for doing the unthinkable and love each other and let Tori heartbreak yet again because in that second she knew that he would never love her the way she loved him. Tori sets off on her own, for the 1st time in 400 plus years demined not to be hurt again. But it seems that the fates have other ideas for the only Fire wielding Vampire.

Here are some quotes that touched me for different reasons by the author from this book
“It was funny how the past continued to affect the present. Only in knowing, accepting and embracing our past can one truly be free to live in the present. The only way I could move on with my life would be to finally face these demons, lay them to rest.”

“With that statement, he sliced his wrist, wincing at the sharp bite of the knife as it opened his skin. Blood poured into the empty glass as he held his bleeding wrist above it. My fangs extended and I salivated at the sight of his essence, his blood, pouring from his body. The scent was unlike any I'd ever smelled before. It was coppery, with a sweet tang I couldn't place, mixed with his natural masculinity. It was intoxicatingly wonderful.”


"Man, I'm glad I can still have bacon."

“I don't like seeing people in pain. It actually physically hurts me, so I try to help them believe their pain in order to not feel it around me. Most people get freaked out and leave me. I've had it happen all my life."

“I felt like the Grinch when he finally realized the true meaning of Christmas, my heart expanding until it felt as if it would burst.”


After years of tourte and heartbreak Tori was rescued and grew to love Stephan, sadly he only saw her as daughter. Still she belived that one day he would turn to her. But the SHE showed up and everything changed. Still for awhile Tori wanted it to be different and him to love her until the night she saw he love her woman and would never love her. When she sets off on her own I was certain it was to end her life. But instead she meets her mate, and her whole world changes. She dose everything she never thought she would incudleing Stephan’s law to protect her mate. Jean Booth has created a great character as with her others as well. I am looking forward to the next book which release in Nov of 2013. Another 5 out of 5 from me.
