Savior ~ Review

Savior (A Higher Collective Novel)
by Jennifer Malone Wright 

Formerly... The Birth of Jaiden by Jennifer Malone Wright

Savior (A Higher Collective Novel)
Alexander Lucas is a man of faith, casino owner and vampire. He should be living the Reno high life of riches and immortality. Instead, he wakes each night despising the blood on his hands and begging for a reason to continue on. 

The last beat of his heart took place shortly after losing his family to a gruesome and violent death. One snowy night, the creature who had been stalking him finally took his life, in turn giving him the gift of immortality. Yet, immortality to Alex is not a gift, but rather a curse to live in eternal pain. 

 Nearly a century of tortured existence leads him to a dumpster in a dark alley where he finds a reason for continuing on. Nestled between bits of debris and rubbish a tiny infant wails for help. He calls for his best friend and guardian angel, Danielle, who explains to him that he has been chosen to raise this baby, for she would someday become a very powerful, natural witch. She tells him it is now his job to protect her from the enemy who wants her so badly, yet also to be her father. 

 Thinking this angel is out of her mind, Alex refuses many times until Danielle convinces him that the enemy, Malcolm and his wife Levine, cannot obtain the child and that they are, indeed attempting to find her. He must keep her safe, because if evil hands raise her than she will grow to possess the power to annihilate them all. 

Luckily, Alex is not alone, he has The Higher Collective to assist in his mission. With the combined powers of the Vampires, Angels, Dark Angels, Witches and Warlocks, The Higher Collective prepares for a battle to protect the child from the evil she may possibly inherit. 

My Review:


5 Stars
Movie deal say what? I'd LOVE to see this on the big screen! <3 comment-3--="">, July 8, 2013
I can not recommend this book enough!

I have read this book several times now since I own the original "The Birth of Jaiden" in print (& I was one of the lucky few to beta read Savior before the release) yet the end continues to play my heartstrings like a fiddle shocking me as I realize what just happened!
These characters feel like family now, & seeing them fall into their destinies is beyond awesome! I truly love how Jennifer always pulls me so far into her stories that I feel like I'm in there with them through everything: front row seats to the magic, the drama, the searching, the battles, & the relationship building/mending. Of course I've fallen for the vamp!
Where are the movie producers when we need them? I'd love to see this on the big screen!

If you are on search of an action packed paranormal treat full of magical characters who are capable of MUCH more than we could imagine then this book is definitely for you!! Enjoy!!!!

A few favorite excerpts...




'They knew they were in trouble when Alex's blue eyes lit up with the evil glow of a demon. 
What they didn't know was they were not going to live through the night.'

'Out of the silence of the night, a shrill scream pierced through his closed mind. Pain like he had never felt before tore through his head like lightning bolts. He screamed. His head felt like it would explode. 
Both hands flew to his head, and he fell to the ground. Water splashed all around him, 
and he went down face first.'

'Death is not but eternal life.'

~ Jennifer Malone Wright ~
Jennifer Malone Wright is best known for her short story series, The Vampire Hunter's Daughter. Other works include the follow up to The Vampire Hunter's Daughter series called The Arcadia Falls Chronicles and her vampire novel called Savior. Jennifer also co-authors a series called Once Upon A Zombie Apocalypse.

 She resides in the beautiful mountains of northern Idaho with her husband and five children where she practices preparing for the zombie apocalypse. Just kidding!
But seriously, between the craziness of taking care of her children, Jennifer has little time left for herself. The time she does have left, usually leading far into the night, is spent working on her beloved fiction or chatting with her equally crazy friends.
Jennifer also loves coffee, has a passionate affair with red bull, wishes the sushi were better where she lives and dances while she cleans.

The events of Claudia’s party were nothing more than a distant memory as far as Kia was concerned. She was ready to resume her life as though that night had never happened. But it’s a slippery slope keeping a secret and Kia’s about to learn just how hard when she’s faced with the truth and the consequences of her decision.
Adam Chaves was no stranger to girls wanting him. He was no stranger to breaking hearts, although never intentionally.

Excerpt from Blood Moon
 October 1, 1950  
My dreams were haunted with the reality of what is waiting on the horizon for us. We knew they would seek revenge sooner or later. Of course, we were hoping for the latter. The vampires have begun infesting the surrounding areas. My best friend, Finn brought word this morning that London has seen at least three dozen victims. The humans are oblivious as to the cause of the violence. The newspapers talk about the possibility of a wild animal on the loose. As I said before, oblivious. 

Colleen and I each killed three of the abominations before returning last night. I enjoyed the time hunting with my sister. She has grown so much as a witch since her initiation. Her tracking skills are top notch. She reminds me of Ma. I watched as she baited the Barna Woods just east of Rusheen Bay with her blood. She and I took positions in neighboring trees. The foul beasts appeared almost immediately. We made easy work of them. 

Since Da’s death last year, we’ve had to take turns staying with Ma. He was one of the last confirmed cases of the bubonic plague in Ireland. His death hit all of us hard, but none more so than her. She’s turned her emotions off. We need her in her right mind with the threat of an impending war. Colleen took her to visit Aunt Fionna in an attempt to either get her to open up, or sadly cast a spell to silence the pain. 

Just before Da’s death, Seamus formally asked him if he could begin courting me. I don’t how I would have gotten through this without him. He’s extremely good with Isadora. She’s so young, and doesn’t understand what’s happening. Seamus helps me keep her occupied. I fear for them both. Isadora has little power and he is human. 

No matter how many I kill, it will never be enough. Not until the day I can finally say that every last one of the monstrosities my family created four centuries ago are no longer a threat to any man, woman, child, or witch. 

Blessed Be ~ Leeny

Haunted Moon
Before Lilyann stepped into her destiny to lead the coven, there was another powerful Moon witch...her grandmother. 

A teenage witch-to-be in Galway, Ireland, Leeny Moon was prepared to take her rightful place in the circle along side of her family. That was until she witnessed firsthand the forthcoming nightmares she would be expected to face, vampires.

The fight between good versus evil begins here...

Blessed Be~
~   *   ~   *  ~   *  ~

Compulsion
A family secret kept hidden has been exposed, and the consequences could be deadly. 

After Lilyann Moon's beloved grandmother dies shrouded by a veil of mystery, she and her young family members are yanked from their completely normal lives and catapulted directly into the supernatural world of witchcraft. A world they know absolutely nothing about. 

The town of Hampstead, Maryland has no idea of the monsters that lurk in their midst. Or, of the dangers they will face if the Moon Coven doesn't figure out how to embrace the magick within each of them, especially Lily. 

She's suddenly up to her pointy little black hat in magickal problems. Destiny presented her with a few more, and they're pretty major - vampires, ghosts, and brogadhs.

The only bright spot in this nightmare was meeting Mason. But, is she in love with the enemy? Lilyann is in a race against time to save her town and coven. Will she survive the coming dangers, with her heart and neck intact?

It all comes down to this one night...

All Hallows Eve.

Harvest Moon
Seventeen-year-old Lochlan Moon had been groomed his entire life to accept the torch that would eventually be handed to him, and step into his destiny - to be the most powerful witch in almost five hundred years.

Between the savage murder of a family member, and vanishing classmates, doubts that he'd kept buried began to resurface. Someone or something is on a monstrous killing spree in his home town of Hampstead. Lochlan is determined to help stop whatever it is.

All the while, his future within the family's circle teeters on a deadly precipice.

Will any of the witches survive to harness the magick within... after the Harvest Moon?
