Society #8
Death Awakening
They call it Moon-Night.
The night when the moon rises high in the sky, fully visible for all to see, is the time Humans venture outside in hopes of catching a glimpse of Others for their personal entertainment—shifters transformed, strange dark creatures, all answering the call of the moon.
Yvette is a vampire who works in a bar owned by a panther shifter called Raven. It is one of the few bars in their community in which Others and Humans can mingle. Restless shifters, blood lusting vampires, supercilious Humans … the night is filled with them.
But what happens when the doors close tonight? What long-buried evil awaits Yvette? A dark force will awaken—one that will change her life, and those of the people around her.
Forever.

About the author
Mason Sabre
65 books468 followersMy name is Mason Sabre. I have been writing since I was a small child and discovered I could have a million adventures at the stroke of my pencil (I wasn't allowed to use pen back then). I have written more stories than I could even publish, some of them I wouldn't ever put out, but I have had a blast writing them. I love writing, I love reading. I love to have a fictional adventure. When I am not doing that I am with my children or studying. I have a lifelong love of learning too.
I live in the North of England. It's a little chilly here and a little wet, but it is what I call home and where pretty much all of my stories are based.

Fascinating, Insane, Heart Stopping, Breathtaking & Eye Catching! An End To An Addictive Series! I Loved It!
June 23, 2016
Some time ago, the author decided to do a crowd funder where those who wanted to pledge a certain amount, got their own novella. If the rest are anything like this one, then I better fill my amazon account because I seriously will be going #oneclick happy.
Wow just wow. Another winner by Mason Sabre. I've been waiting for the additions of Vamps to the Society Series and the author did not disappoint.
Yvette serves drinks at a bar where Humans and the Others mingle, but on this night, one mistake awakens a deep dark evil that once unleashed will bring about terror and possible destruction to all.
Henry has been asleep for a long time. Through the fatal errors of some humans he is awakened and out for blood. He comes across someone from his line and he intends to use her and exact his revenge.
Sure, it was great to see some main characters from the full novels but the true star of this story was Yvette. She brought her own brand of sassy yet vulnerable personality to this book and I loved it. Her love of family and inner nature to always do what's right gave me an instant girl crush. Her ability to reason with Henry, despite his hold over her had me wanting more.
Henry oh Henry. Having been sleep for so long, I understood his need for vengeance, but he made me slightly upset when he started harassing my girl crush. I love and despise Henry, but I can't be too mad at him because as a Master Vampire, his reactions were a part of his nature. I look forward to seeing more of him in the next installment and yes of course more Vet and Troy.
Five vamplicious stars!

Simply AMAZING!!
This novella shows us another facet of the world created by Mason Sabre. I literally could not put it down until I had read every last word. We get to see more of Raven and a surprise appearance at the end.
I've read all of the stories in The Society Series. This one is as captivating as all the previous stories. My emotions were completely engaged along with my imagination. I want to know more about Yvette and Troy and what made Henry do what he did.....
This is a must read for anyone looking for a heart stopping, attention grabbing story. Once you start, you won't want to put it down until you've read every emotion filled word!!

The adventure begins....
I'm one of the few who have not yet read the series, but jumped right in to this having only previously read the first in the series. Yes, you can pick it up from here, but there is a big cliffhanger at the end of this so be prepared to pick up the next in the series...and yes, I do plan to backtrack and read the earlier books in this series at some point.
This story revolves around Yvette a vampire, and the adventures that happen during a particular moon-night while she is working at a bar frequented by Humans and Others. As she tries to figure out what happened to a particular young human female, she encounters Henry on The Hill, a place that no one dares visit.
You must read the rest to see what happens, and then get to the near book-tossing cliffhanger....but I know it will be worth it.

The writing is brilliantly discriptive in this short read that keeps you engaged through the read. It also introduces one of my favourite if not my new favourite character of this series.
Imagine if you will paranormal beings co-mingling with humans, only the paranormal beings or 'Others' are the ones comprising who and what they are. Then imagine one night not like any other, humans set a course that will change everyones lives forever.
Yvette the main character is put in a position that will test everything she is as a vampire, and will put her in the path of someone or something that centuries have turned into a myth, or a boogie man to scare humans.
Definitely recommend to any paranormal reader. Note however this is a cliff hanger (Waving fist in the air awaiting the next installment).

Moon-Night – those words alone conjure up all sorts of evocative thoughts, mmmmm!!!
Death Awakening is a brilliant addition to The Society Series. We get to meet Henry, the Lynchpin of it all. Mason is such a tease, he gives us a very brief insight into Henry’s history, and what a back story this guy has. I cannot wait to read more about him, and just what connection does he have to Gemma Davies???
Raven is back as his broody and formidable self. We are introduced to Yvette, a voluptuous vampire whose unbeating heart is split between her love for her husband and her loyalty to the Elder of her race.
I absolutely love this fantasy Other World Mason has created. There is no skipping, skimming, pausing for a cup of tea moment. You’ll be up to the wee small hours devouring every word of this 5 star series of books.

The Society Series by Author Mason Sabre just keeps getting better and better! Death Awakening is the latest installment and I must say it a fabulous read that delves in the world of vampires. The emotion in which Mason captures in his stories is pure magic. You truly felt the love between Yvette and Troy as well as her anguish when it came to making an important decision that would alter her and her husband’s lives forever. The latest character Henry is someone I really hope we get to see in the future as he is one interesting and complex character. The cliffhanger ending left me wanting more and more of this series. I cannot wait to find out how all the characters come together. Amazing job Mason!

I am loving this series! This fantasy world, that has been created by Mr. Sabre, is so fascinating and how he weaves his characters into each new story, building from and extending the reach to places beyond our imagination is magnificent. This book brings in some new characters, one Henry, a force we have just gotten a glimpse of...How will this new characters existence in this world of "others" and "humans" going to unfold? I don't know BUT I am excited to find out! As long as you, Mr. Sabre, keep writing this series, I will keep reading.. You write with such passion, I can feel it in your words, so that I as the reader, can do what I do, get lost in the pages and let go and just enjoy!
June 26, 2016
Loved this book, couldn't put it down, I wasn't to sure about Raven when i first met him in previous books, but I LOVE him now, so strong, powerful and protective, In this book we are introduced to Yvette and her Husband Troy, who are both Vampires, their master is awakened by drunken teenagers looking for fun, You will have to read the book to find out more, but you will not be dissapointed, Mason Sabre is a fantastic author who really does get your imagination going and pulls you into the story, you can see and hear everything he writes about, it is so real, Thank you Mason for another brilliant part to The Society Series, waiting not so patiently for the next one ( No pressure then lol)
June 23, 2016
So I have read every single book by this amazing author but this book blew me to heights never achieved before. The great writing that draws you in and captures every living ounce of you was in this book TEN times over. I loved getting more of Raven a character that had me captivated. The wonderful Web that had Yvette and Henry caught in was weaved in such a way I did NOT see those twists and turns coming. Henry's character was before the most intriguing character to me. Bravo Mr. Sabre on yet another wonderful creation that nothing compares to. I am never disappointed.

OMG!!! The winner for the cliffhanger of the year award definitely goes to Mason Sabre!! I have read all of his books now, loved all of them, but I think this may just be my favorite! It helps if you have read his other Society novels before this, but it's not necessary, this could be read as a stand alone.
If you've already read his other Society books though, you'll get to see Raven again, in a much bigger role, as well as a surprise visit by another character at the very end. I don't want to give anything away though, so I won't say more about that! I loved getting to know more about Raven, and seeing his character shine through. Plus, we got to meet Yvette and Troy, two vampires who have not been seen in previous books. I really enjoyed getting to know them, and seeing their beautiful relationship together! You don't think of great loves much when you think of vampires, but I think Yvette and Troy have a great love! And of course, we can't forget about the other main character of the book, Henry! Oh Henry....how I want to know the rest of your story!! There is definitely something more there that we haven't been told.
Mason Sabre, you are an awesome wordsmith, and this book was simply fantastic!! I can't wait to see what you have planned for us next!!!

another addition to the "society" series and what a one. What a story "Vet"a human that made the decision to be "turned"and her husband and Henry one of the Original Vampires who was thought to be dead and buried. Through circumstances Henry has "returned to life"and then the fun begins.
Vet is torn between her love for her husband and her "loyality"to her Elder . Vet trying to find a way through this quandray and then comes another twist in this story Gemma. The way that Mason tells this story just BRIL. His use of language unlike anything I have read before and wonderful. Can highly recommend any of his books.

I was anxious to see the addition of vampires to the Society Series with Death Awakening and was not disappointed. The story revolves around Yvette, a vampire working in a bar who hasn't had it very easy with the undead life and this particular night it's about to get worse.
The story was an exciting read with many surprises and turns with Yvette learning about her vampire lineage in quite the disturbing way. This is a must read for paranormal story lovers. Mason Sabre's writing style keeps you interested and at high alert through the read. You must keep turning the pages because there is just a bit more revealed on every one.

WOW! AMAZING! COULDN'T PUT IT DOWN!
I absolutely loved this book! This is the first book I have read in the Society Novel series by Mason Sabre and I was blown away. Troy and Yvette are married vampires in Death Awakening who get tangled in more of an adventure than they bargained for. From the time I opened the book, it hooked me and I just couldn't put it down. It left me with a heck of a cliffhanger for the next book, which hopefully will be soon! I am still saying WOW!
To sum it up, I loved it. This is a must read that I would recommend!

I absolutely loved this book. WOW! Just WOW! I was completely captured from the first word til the end and wanted more. I couldn't read fast enough. Heart racing, sitting at the edge of my seat wondering what will happen next. Very thrilling for me. I can't wait for the next book. I want to know what's going on with Henry and why seeing Gemma startled him. Definitely a must read. Mason Sabre, you are a very brilliant, talented writer. Another job well done!!
June 25, 2016
Once again Mason Sabre provides us with an absolute page turner! Each book introduces a character that you fall in love with but here he has outdone himself. Death Awakening opens up a new horizon and takes us on a "brand new trip".
Love this series which combines all my favourite themes: supernatural, romance, suspense, adventure etc. with a good dose of subtle humor.
With this novella,I felt like I was on a roller coaster ride which never ended. Can't wait to see how it turns out.

Oh my gosh he did it again. What a great book, just like the others in this series. I have to say I hated the end of this book. What's with the cliffhanger??? I absolutely hate them. I found myself shouting NO to the ending. Yvette agrees for Henry to be their master. Wth!!!
Raven backed back. He help rescue Stephen, Gemme and Cade. Now he's in this entire book. We get a brief history on Raven and his story. I loved the connection that he and Genme and how they are always their for each other. love this Panther. We are introduced to Yvette and her husband Troy. Troy and Yvette are vampires that gets pulled into this toe curdling action packed journey. Yvette works in Raven's bar. Gemme's also makes a great appearance in this book. And we can't forget another main character in the book, Henry. Theirs allot more to know about Henry. I absolutely love this fantasy world created in this series.

Vampires...
I enjoyed this book in the Society series...great read, though I am still trying to figure out how these new characters fit into the big picture. Yvette is feisty, I like her. Raven is someone you can count on and Henry has a tragic past. Looking forward to the next book in the series

I read Henry, the prequel novella and found it heartbreaking. I'm very interested in finding out what role he will play in the other books as a master Vampire.
