However, the world has changed and his transformation into a vampire gives survival a whole new meaning. If that isn\u2019t enough to ruin his life, a plague unleashes utter destruction on humanity. He knows he has what it takes to protect those who survive even if they don\u2019t like his rules. What he doesn\u2019t count on is a female with stormy eyes and a will to live getting under his skin.<\/p>\n<p>Kayla has lost everyone she loves to the red death. Surviving the plague is one thing, but a vow made to her dying father puts her under the protection of a predator. Surprised at how her body reacts to Ryder when he feeds, she has a hard choice to make. But when tragedy strikes and forces the vampire to give her his blood, she morphs into something no one could ever predict.<\/p>\n<p>The new world doesn\u2019t come with a handbook and when fate brands them as potential mates, they are not prepared. They can either battle each other, or band together in a fight for survival. The future holds no guarantees, but being alone might be worse than death.<\/p>\n<p>This is a spin-off series and can be read as a standalone or, with the Eternally Mated series.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/TBR.png\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-6166\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/TBR.png?resize=113%2C51\" alt=\"\" width=\"113\" height=\"51\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodreads.com\/book\/show\/44178036-uprising?from_search=true\">Goodreads<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Buy-Links.png\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-6156\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Buy-Links.png?resize=158%2C45\" alt=\"\" width=\"158\" height=\"45\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<iframe style=\"width: 120px; height: 240px;\" src=\"\/\/ws-na.amazon-adsystem.com\/widgets\/q?ServiceVersion=20070822&amp;OneJS=1&amp;Operation=GetAdHtml&amp;MarketPlace=US&amp;source=ss&amp;ref=as_ss_li_til&amp;ad_type=product_link&amp;tracking_id=twintalk-20&amp;language=en_US&amp;marketplace=amazon&amp;region=US&amp;placement=B07NPQVH6G&amp;asins=B07NPQVH6G&amp;linkId=fa0c578206532de5d9a517ebcc3df338&amp;show_border=true&amp;link_opens_in_new_window=true\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/angies-review.png\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-6154\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/angies-review.png?resize=230%2C50\" alt=\"\" width=\"230\" height=\"50\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I received this book from the author for an honest review.<\/p>\n<p>I know I saw this every time I read a paranormal but It\u2019s my JAM!!!\u00a0 I love love love me some paranormal.\u00a0 I love shifters, vampires, demons, angels, and all the possible additions to a storyline.\u00a0 This book, which is a spin off series, was just what I needed and loved.<\/p>\n<p>I am going to start by saying I have NOT read the Eternally Mated series.\u00a0 However, I will be rectifying that soon.\u00a0 I did not feel I missed anything or was lost at any point of the story.\u00a0 I think the storyline was filled in during this book about what happened in the other series.\u00a0 SHEW right!!!!<\/p>\n<p>So this book is taking place during the end of the world essentially.\u00a0 Ryder and his group of Navy Seals are set to protect the last few remaining humans to help repopulate the world after The Red Death has destroyed everyone.
