Serena and Lazarus: A Catching Genesis Bonus Chapter
He's too beautiful to be real. Is he my imagination or hallucination brought by the heavy smog?
When the Great Smog blanketed London, Serena’s fate takes a sudden turn. She is left alone when her parents met their untimely death and set to be married to her highest bidder, Mr. George Dungworth, a repulsive, forty-year-old goldmine.
Cooped up for days and itching for a run, she ventures into the woods, and there—at the edge of the forest, amidst the sea of fog— she sees the image of perfection that would change her life forever.
The man from the woods. Lazarus Chevalier is neither human nor a werewolf. No, he is more than that. He is a lycan and he wanted her.
Will Serena, for once, defy the only family she has left and elope with a beautiful stranger?
Go back in time and discover the beginning of a love story that stood the test of time. Grab a copy now and fell in love with Serena and Lazarus once more.

This was a cute short (17 page long) chapter. It takes us back to when Serena and Lazarus first met and fell in love.

I wanted more! I wished that this could have been a full length book. Because I would have loved to have seen this story more fleshed out. For example, more about Serena life growing up, more about Lazarus before he met Serena and how did he end up in the England, or more about how they learn and grew as mates after this book ended. They are the quite ones in all of her other stories, and I think they deserve a novel about their love.

I love how the heroine literally packs her things to run away with a man she met like an hour ago. Like blind trust working in this day and age? Me thinks not.

By far my favourite love and werewolf book
I recommend all of this writers book first saw and read on Wattpad and continued to show my support my coming on here.
I have read so many werewolf books and this tops them all by miles as none of her books are clique but they are so unique but not unique in a way idk how to describe they’re just phenomenal completely and utterly phenomenal. Please post more books and keep them coming

Short, sweet and
Delightful little back story. Two excellent characters. I liked the fact that Lazarus didn't waste any time when he realized Serena was in a bad spot. I do wish there had been some "fair" recompense for Serena's evil aunt and uncle.

Love the story
As usual, another excellently written story by Nicole. It was always a mystery to me how Serena and Lazarus met. This lovely tale enlightens you on how their romance started, wrapped up in mystery, adventure and excitement. It is worth the read. I love that Genesis and Penny where in the ending as they are two of my favourite characters. Can't wait to Catching Genesis comes out so, I can read it again. Totally loved this story

Beautifully written
Although, I have not read much of the book due to it not being published quite yet, this was written in a way words cannot describe. I love the sneak peek and cannot wait until it gets published, so I can read the rest!

Amazing
I read catching Genesis when it was still in the process of being written on Wattpad and I always wanted to know more about Serena and Lazarus. This was really great to get a little more context into their story. Well written as always!

Love the backstory into how they met.
Back stories intrigue me. Hopefully they get a book too. These Lycans give me life. The whole pack just screams of love, loyalty, and commitment.

Absolutely wonderful!
Serena and Lazarus are an absolutely vital part of this mesmerizing lycan pack. It was a joy to read about how they met, although I am disappointed that the story was too short.

I loved it so much!! I wasn’t a fan of catching genesis but this was so freaking good. If she write catching genesis like this I would have been so awe struck. The writing felt so much more powerful. Ugh I wish it was longer!!!!

Awesome
This book provides the insides of how the star couple of Catching Genesis came together. Serena and Lazarus are really loved and cherished couple of the book excluding the main couple. I really loved it. It's worth every penny you spend.
I really loved the book 😄

love the back story
I read this after Catching Genesis and I loved geting a little back story on Serena and Lazarus. I would recommend reading after Catching Genesis that why you know where you are at the end.

Good, But Short
With all the other members of the pack having a major adventure to get their mates, it seems very anticlimactic that Serena just ran away with Lazarus and they are living happily ever after. It’s not that much of a spoiler with this story being so short.

Loved their back story but also wish it was longer. Of this series, I feel like Lazarus has the least description written about his character but this is still a great addition to the series! Wish the rest wasn't on Galatea so physical copies could be published.

Easiest no drama read. Very short. Not much going on except Serena, werewolf, meeting Lazarus in the London smog and knowing he wanted her.
She was supposed to marry a filthy rich human who was almost 20 years her senior but then Lazarus swept in and saved her.
That’s it.

This needs to be a whole book also. Catching Genesis, Fighting Darius, and Trapping Quincy will be so amazing. I cannot wait to own the series

My Thoughts
It was cute. There isn't much more to say. If you read Catching Genesis and like the characters Serena and Lazarus, you should read this.
