Daniel landed in Berlin, Germany, over a year ago because he kept the wrong friends. Little did he know that he’d come to love the old city, his job, and his life in Europe. Now that Aiden has arrived, a quiet, red-headed, refuge from a war back in the states, Daniel is settling into a domestic life he never dreamed he’d have.
The arrival of The Old One, the mother of all vampires, turns Daniel’s domestic happiness on its head as she drags him away on an adventure through archaeological sites of Europe, America, and Egypt on a hunt for origin of vampires. Can Daniel, an ardent agnostic, walk through the birthplace of religion without questioning himself? And can he win the heart of a woman so destroyed by her past that she barely has hope for the future?

Really good book with interesting universe building
This was my first book in the series and it was a good standalone and built an interesting universe. The characters were fun, there were really good hints on the larger world the story was set in and the plot was hopeful in what lies ahead in future books. I recommend this book and look forward to the other books in the series.
Genesis by Anne Schlea is a fantastic story that I have read. This is book number four in this fantastic series that I am hooked on from the beginning and I highly recommend this story to everyone who loves reading about fantasy.
I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
This book had a different feel with it set in some ways outside the war and other characters. In a way it is an origin story for the series. The reader travels the path with Daniel, learning as he does. Looking forward to where we go next.
