3.0 out of 5 stars Caine and Emma, April 12, 2009

Emma works at a coffee shop, just your everyday girl, except for the fact that she is completely different from everyone around her. But when she is bombarded with a tantalizing scent she follows her nose to the club next door and encounters Caine, the sexy werewolf mentioned in Landon's story. Caine's has been living among humans since he began having trouble shifting to his human form after transforming to his musk form. He feels he has no purpose until he catches sight of Emma and his wolf recognizes his mate. But there is something off with her scent that he cannot pinpoint, so when she is kidnapped Caine goes on the hunt and becomes engrossed in the prophecy brought about in the first book in this series. As the action and intense lust for each other continues, Emma and Caine realize that the original interpretation of the prophesy was wrong and there is more at stake than they realize.

***I am a huge Patrice Michelle fan and was excited about this book. In Landon's story Caine was introduced so I couldn't wait to see what role he would play in the prophecy. I found this to be a decent story, Caine and Emma were great together, but I felt some of the intensity from the first 2 books were missing...almost as if Patrice rushed thru it. This was not a bad addition to the series, just unremarkable. I would not recommend this book as a standalone and would only recommend this book in the series if there are more coming...otherwise I would gladly have stopped with Landon's tale. Usually if a great series produces a reaction like this with one book in the series then I will read it again later before forming an opinion but I have no desire to read this book again. Despite this fact I believe Patrice to be a great author and look forward to reading more of her work.

2.0 out of 5 stars DON'T START HERE, February 15, 2009

Lupreda, Velius and Sanquinas oh my. Unless you've read the first two books in this series I wouldn't recommend starting here. This is definetly not a stand-alone and you will only find yourself frustrated and confused. SCIONS REVELATION was well reviewed on Amazon.com. I can only assume by those readers already invested in the series so I'll try not to be too harsh here.

There is lots of drama and action in this tale and I did enjoy the love story between Caine and Emma especially in the final chapter. Yet with no back story or explanations given until near the end of the book I couldn't figure out who or what the different species were and couldn't have cared less about the all important prophecy.

In short there are werewolves, sparkling panthers, and some mention of vampires within this story. They have all been given silly clan names and the heroines love interest might go "zerkers" at any time.

I recommend reading this series in order and a glossery would have been very helpful.

Although werewolf Caine Grennard is a part of a pack, he walks alone. Caine thinks he is a danger to those around him. Emma Gray has always been a little different than everyone else. Her sense of smell is unusually strong. One scent has enticed her into the club across from the coffee shop she works in. It belongs to Caine. Caine is mysterious and enigmatic and totally out of her league. However, when Emma's elderly aunt is kidnapped, Caine may be the only one who can help her though. Emma is about to enter uncharted territory for her and she's about to learn a few things that will change her life. Caine is drawn to Emma like no other but with no future ahead of him he'll have to leave her once he helps her.

Revelation tells the story of Caine and Emma's seemingly impossible love. They come from different backgrounds, they have different expectations on them, and Emma's got a lot on her plate. When some pretty exceptional things are thrust in her lap, she shines, though. Just when it seems things are hopeless between them, change comes again. Caine is torn between what his heart wants and what he thinks he has to do. Emma is strong. She rises above the challenges before her. They make a powerful couple. Revelation is a great love story with lots of action and drama.
