“I love the world that Denna Holm has created, each book has built on the last and the story and characters carry through. Some of the story lines have trickled across all three books and it helps keep the continuity going. While I have loved the characters of Abby and Aaliyah in the prior books, Sam’s story really drew me in as having relevance to a lot of issues we face here on Earth today. It deals with topics of racism, a woman’s right to choose, and political manipulation. It talks about the struggles of a society adapting and changing with the times. Just because something has been a certain way for “as long we remember” does not make it right. Sam is the perfect character to bring this all out. She is strong, caring, and willing to build bridges to help people grow and see the world for how it is now.
Sam’s growth internally and physically is immense. From the start she wants nothing more than the freedom to choose her own mate and path, and by the end she is helping different societies learn to live together. There are so many new characters in this novel I cannot begin to explain, but they all merge in a positive way. Often books use a lot of negative situations to bring about change, this however used less violent methods and lots of introspection on all the characters parts to enact change. I found the book positive and hopeful, sending a good message for fantasy readers.
Claimed by Seraphym is a suspenseful yet contemplative science fiction romance novel that brilliantly builds on the previous books and delivers something uniquely engaging in this story.” -LITERARY TITAN
Gauge is an immortal warrior, a vampire, who hunts rogues of his kind for the Laizahlian Council. He lost his fated mate thousands of years ago, and the only thing that keeps him sane is his duty to the council. When a human woman approaches him for help in freeing a dragon female from a Raiden warrior claim, he doesn’t expect there to be life-altering repercussions . . . for him.
Zephralena is the daughter of dragon shifters, her father the alpha of their clan. But it doesn’t stop the Raiden warrior from claiming her against her will. Her only chance of escaping his abuse will come at the hands of a vampire, a powerful Hunter for the Laizahlian Council. He alone can strip the essence her abuser injected when he claimed her, breaking his hold over her.
When Gauge begins to develop a shaprata, what Raiden warriors use to claim unwilling females, he knows his time is limited. A decision must be made: claim a female for himself, or die.
