Being a vampire playboy has worked for Jax for 600 years. 

That's about to change.

The Next Generation of Black Swan knights continues the struggle to rid the world of "deadheads", virus infected vampires who are barely more cognizant than zombies. Jax, one of the vampires turned by the immortals, joined the fight and became Falcon's partner.

For six hundred years Jax has seduced women, drunk their blood, and left them feeling blissfully satisfied, but without memory of the event. It was a good and manageable life for a vampire until the deliciously wild redhead came along and showed him what he's been missing.

Re-reading.

I just can't resist using Jax' favorite word: "WOW!" I just loved Jax. I never expected him to be such a nice guy. Happily, the next generation of the Black Swan Knights series is a winner. I just love these books. Onto "Deliverance." ;)

The goodness of Black Swan just keeps coming with the Next Generation series. Jax is one character who rivals those of the original Black Swan Knight series in that his humanity weighs heavily on him and shines through in his very being. He's a hero by anyone's terms, but as with each of the Knights, Jax doesn't see himself as such...he is truly humble. The one point that truly touched me deeply was his pink tears...that alone spoke volumes of his core.

Ms Danann has once again brought the thrill of the hunt for vampire to include romance at its finest. The chemistry and dynamics between the characters fairly leaps off the page...Jax and Drogheda were perfectly created to enhance the overall message layer throughout the Black Swan Knight series - the hero aspect of those that protect the unknowing. The next book in the series can't come soon enough.

This book was provided by the author, I am voluntarily providing my honest review.

“He felt like he’d been raised from the dead. Resurrected.”


Love can do that....even for a 600 yr old vampire. Jaxon Kell was willing to come out of the shadows to help the Knights of Black Swan fight the war against vampire....Ms. Danann once again spins a tale of hunters, love, sorrow and happiness in her newest Next Generation book "Jax:Resurrection"...
You'll want to sink your teeth into this one!

Victoria Danann has done it again and I think I am in love. Jax was introduced in the last book - FALCON: NEXT GENERATION. You don't have to read that book first, but this is such a wonderful series, why deny yourself the pleasure? In fact, I recommend reading all of her books. She has created such wonderful, complex worlds and filled them with such memorable characters.

Jax is working with the Knights of the Black Swan. He is a vampire who is a vampire hunter. There are individuals like Jax who were turned by another immortal vampire. They are, for the most part, powerful, but intelligent. They don't kill those whose blood they drink. Then there are those that were turned because of a virus. They are savage and almost mindless. Their bite infects their victims and turns them into similar monsters. These are the ones Jax and the Knights are fighting. With Jax's help they are turning the tide.

We get a closer look at Jax's early life and how he became a vampire. He was innocent and sweet, but so eager to learn. When offered the chance to see the world and become more than he could imagine, he didn't hesitate for long. He embraced his new immortal life and now, even after 400 years, has few regrets. He takes blood and pleasure from women he never thinks about again and who don't remember him after he leaves. It's a satisfying arrangement. That is, until he meets Drogheda. Unlike the many, many women who came before, he cannot get her out of his mind. Not only that, she has him questioning his whole existence. Working with the Knights and being Falcon's partner started the process of his change.

This story is filled with romance and adventure. There is humour and there is loss. Themes about love, friendship, and loyalty run through Victoria Danann's books. What would you do for those you care about? How much would you risk? How much are you willing to accept?

This is such a great read. The only thing you will regret is when it ends and you have to wait for the next book in the series.

One of the best books you will read this year! Jaxon is Sexy & Lethal. He has joined the KBS in the hunt to eradicate Vicious Vampires, that kill & maim. Yes He also is a Vampire, but one that dines with and on Human women. He leaves them satisfied & Alive. He has had 600 years to develop his lovemaking skills. WOW, count me in! Then he meets Drogheda. I totally Love Drogheda's name. It is so different & when he goes on about how lovely it is. Melted my heart! I may be a bit prejudiced, but NO ONE can write a love story like Victoria Danann. There were parts of this story that stopped my heart. So suspenseful in places. As usual I laughed out loud. Jax totally stole my heart in this one. Want another great read. Do Not hesitate get your copy now! From a Forever Fan... Pam James.

Ok so first thing I have to say is.. WOW! STEAMY! I think I have a new favorite vampire! Please oh please can I have him! And I think I will use Jax's word again... WOW! Can those scenes get any steamier. Love the ending too. Total twist! I didn't think Victoria could do any better but she did! Love this author and this book! I can't say WOW enough. My favorite part is the flash backs to Jax's life before the Knights and then the end! I so did not see the twist coming! She did it again! Again! WOW!!!

I never tire of the "The Knights of the Black Swan" universe. The story was riveting. Jaxon is a vampire that 'consults' with The Black Swans and is partnered with Falcon. This is a vampire's story about how he came to be and how he found purpose with his eclectic group of friends. I recommend it highly. Victoria never disappoints.

Jax is an invaluable member of the team of vampire hunters, which may appear unusual since he is an actual vampire. He has lived for 600 years and has experienced life in many cultures. His Black Swan partner, Falcon, has befriended him and they have developed a relationship with bonds that is unusual for Jax. He is unaccustomed to having relationships that last for very long, especially with women. He has never had a girlfriend and is curious at first. He is thrown when he meets D.L. and their courtship, while he intended it to be brief, is fun and passionate. Like all the women in these books, she is intelligent and capable. I love the friendships of the Black Swan Knights and how each book of this series brings the reader further into the fold. Jax finds emotions he was unfamiliar with and grows from them. I think readers already committed to this series will find Jax’s story to be an enjoyable and loving addition. New readers will enjoy the story and find a welcoming home with the Black Swan Knights. I was given this review copy in return for a fair review.

Sexy is synonymous with vampire~~ at least that's what I think. Jax is beyond sexy. He is at times a modern day hopeless romantic, with a dirty little secret side of slutty bad boy vamp. Even though he can charm his way in or out of any situation, this man is deadly. And he has stolen the top spot on my book boyfriend list. We meet Jax at the not so ripe age of 600+ years old, but get a very well written glimpse into his very young innocent life as he becomes a blood sucking vampire. This book is part of the KBS series, and it really is another great installment

I was so happy to get Jax's story!! While I adored his character, I never really felt much of a connection to the hero and heroine as a couple. She was the first person that ever really made him feel any emotions, but I never did feel the depth of this relationship. All of their encounter felt vague to me. Because of this, it had an insta-love feel to it for me personally. I do think this was well written and I will definitely continue more of this series. I also appreciate it being offered as a kindleunlmited.

Oh wow, Victoria Danann kind of blew me away on this one. I love The Knights of Black Swan series and this Next Generation is no exception. I think this may be one of my favorite books by Ms Danann. Sexy and Steamy are two of the words I would use to describe this book. Ms Danann has created a world that is so much fun to read. If you have not read any of her books you will want to start at the beginning with My Familiar Stranger (FREE on Amazon) so you will understand where The Knights of Black Swan come from and why. I look forward to the next book in this series. I Highly Recommend this book and series.

Well Victoria Danann did it again! Actually I believe she out did herself...Jaxson Kell is a old vampire...a good guy. Yes there are good ones that help humans get rid of the bad ones. Jax was Falcon's partner in the Black Swans..as they were patrolling one night Jax saw someone that brought back old memories...the red head reminded him of someone and he needed to find out. I love that we get a good back ground on him and his past. Ms Danann as usual has awesome characters and a great story line. Your not going to want to miss this one trust me! It's got action -both kinds! It's got twists and turns...and it's HOT!

Oh.My.Gosh! Ms. Danann has done it again! Her universe of the Black Swan Knights continues to get better with each book. Reading in order is highly recommended! Jax is a 600 year old vampire. A true immortal vampire. He decides to work with the Knights in order to assist them in neutralizing the 'deadheads'. Along the way we get to know his story-how he came to be and watch him as he finds his purpose and his destiny.

As always the characters are well-drawn and you're pulled into the story so that you feel that you are actually there not just an observer.
Go forth and 1-click!
I can't wait for the next volume in this amazing and addicting series!

I loved Jaxs story! So far he's my favorite one of the Next Generation.
I was caught up the minute I started reading. From his past to the present...the words seamlessly flowed. His backstory was just as good as his present.
Yes, he's a vampire but he's so much more. Who knew one woman could affect him so profoundly.

This is a quick read with action/adventure, humor, suspense, a bit of horror and of course steamy romance. A little something for everyone

Loved Jax!

I loved Jax's story. in the 1400's, a naive 20 year old farmer's son who didn't know how to read it write who was sent to buy a bull and look for a wide was manipulated by one of the original immortal vampires and turned into one never to see his family again. Yet he saw the world evolve and wars fought and power change hands. Jax was one of the good vampires. He never did harm to humans and only seduced woman for blood, never did he kill.

When the vampire epidemic makes a turn for the worse he comes out of the shadows in NY and offers the Black Swans his services when they need it the most. That is when he stumbles up in the woman he finally falls in love with for the very first time.

D.L. Daley has been fending for herself since she was in her teens due to a selfish mother. Meeting Jax and having him compliment her was an experience, yet when he tries to hypnotize her into forgetting their night together only to go back for another 1st date, she's furious. That's when he falls in love with her and reveals his true self for the first time in 600 years.

When trouble follows him and targets her, can she accept his world?

A must read!

When I met Jax in book 1 I really liked him, but after learning more about him in book 2, I fell in totally in love with him.
Jax joined the Black Swan to help them get rid of the vicious strain of Vampire that kills indiscriminately. As Jax is a Vampire he is able to make himself appear invisible, so he can see where the Vampire are & guide the Knights to them.
The one thing the Jax hadn’t planned on was meeting Drogheda, a beautiful redhead that actually remembers their night of passion, and who he cannot get out of his mind.
It was a real treat to follow Jax on is journey of falling in love and realisation that he was worthy of it after 600 years. Ms.Danann has once again kept me up all night with a totally fabulous story that I could not put down.
The Knights of the Black Swan are just going from strength to strength. Congratulations Ms.Danann.

Just another sweet love story? In typical Victoria story telling style, you'll be halfway through this book before you realize it and just when you think you've got the storyline all figured out, it feels like Victoria literally reaches through the page of the book, grabs you, gives you this heck of shake and leaves you gasping for more! I've always loved the Black Swan series and this new generation keeps you just as enthralled as their predecessors. Of course the old crowd show their faces here and there and I really love it when join in the antics! Not to be missed! Hold on to your heart!

I don’t know what it is, but I either love or really like this author’s books. One thing I know I like is the multiple PoVs throughout the books and the cameos of previous characters. It just makes it seem all connected and that you are hearing a story told by a good friend about something you know, but it is still a new story.
If that even made any sense….
I look forward to catching myself up with the author’s backlist for sure.

For six centuries, vampire Jax has wandered the world, living a life of travel, wealth and leisure . . . the life he thought he wanted . . . a life he thought he was living. All of that changes in the blink of an eye when the beautiful Drogheda walks into his life. After six hundred years, it seems that Jax has finally found something worth living for.

Victoria Danann has created a great romance between two very unlikely individuals . . . a 600 year old vampire looking for something to make his life seem meaningful and a 29 year old sassy, independent and very human, interior designer.

I love the journey she takes us on through Jax’s life . . . flashing between past and present to show just how he ended up the person he is. This tale is woven masterfully and pieces together to form the tapestry that is Jaxon Kell. Victoria has also created an amazing female lead in Drogheda, who must set aside everything she thought she knew and believed in to trust that Jax is who he says he is and will keep her safe in a world with creatures she didn’t know existed.

This book is a great mix of romance and adventure. As a fan of the Knights of Black Swan series, it is a must read. We get to catch up with some of our favorite characters both old and new. It’s always a joy to get to see the knights in action while hunting vampire, which typically leads to some of my favorite dialogue in these books! Victoria Danann has created an amazing and magical universe and this book is a fantastic addition to her world.

5 stars!

Jax : Resurrection by Victoria Danann is book two in the " Knights of Black Swan Next Generation ". For a better understanding you should read book one : Falcon , first.
In Falcon I to get to know Jax and I really liked his character.
In Jax I loved him. I want my own Jax pretty please.
Jaxon Kell became a vampire more than 600 years ago. He was a loner, but has decided to work with The Order of Black Swan as a consultant.
One night he meets a tempting woman and he can´t stop thinking about her.
She can´t be "vampirized" by him. She remembers him and is pissed.
Can they have a relationship?
Victoria Danann wrote another exceptional and wonderful story.
Every time I read one of her books I think to myself: This is it. This can´t be topped by her. And every time she does it with her next book. Yes I love Jax- Resurrection. I love her writing and I love the characters (Wakey from Falcon´s book had me in tears again).
After reading Jax, I was speechless. This book gutted me. I felt every single one of these character´s emotions.
I would love to post my favorite quote but it would be a spoiler, so sorry.
5 Breathtaking Stars and a Huge Thank you Victoria Danann !!!!

Danann has done it again. She gave us Baka in A Summoner’s Tale and we all fell in love with him. Get ready to fall again for Jax. His story will make you cry and pant and wish you were his choice. Danann has the knack or skill or just plain old magic to make her worlds come to life and her characters to seem so real that they jump off the pages and into our hearts. Her stories and back stories are so well laid out that the complex becomes simple. I went through every possible emotion when I read this book. I could not read fast enough but then I wished the story would go on and on. The only good thing about finishing the book was that I know Danann will keep writing and there will always be another great book on the horizon. But Jax offers a love story with some twists so be ready for the labyrinth of emotions you will go through and get ready for a bumpy ride. But oh so incredible! MOST HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

And the good fight continues
Jax shows up in the 1st book of the Knights of Black Swan Next Generation. He’s a 600 year old vampire. But he’s not like the Deadheads the Knights have been fighting. He’s unlike any Vampire that was known to them. He’s made directly by an Immortal Vampire. He thinks, drinks and cares not to kill. Helping in the fight against the deadheads he also tries to recruit others like him into helping.
Jax has been a womanizer for the past 600 years. Never really thinking too hard on the matter until he sees and meets a fiery redhead.
Another awesome self-contained story that’s got lots happening and is very entertaining to read.
