Prima
(Vanguards, #6)
by Annie Nicholas
Re-released: August 24th, 2020
Sugar’s choice. As a human, she’s survived falling in love with a powerful vampire, a wolf pack takeover of her city, and even a werewolf attack on her home. The last one left her broken though.
Paralyzed on the left side, Sugar fights for her independence in her day-to-day life. Her worst injury, the scars on her soul, has her pushing everyone away. Especially her vampire lover, Daedalus. How could he still love her when she is just a shadow of herself? She has always refused offers to become vampire or shifter, and to everyone’s dismay,
her disabilities haven’t changed her mind.
It’s her choice.
Then the vampire council sends an emissary to Daedalus that changes everything. His clan brother, another Nosferatu, hands him an ultimatum. Return to his post as Prime or he’ll kill Sugar and her shifter friends. Daedalus has brought enough trouble into Sugar’s life. He won’t be responsible for more violence, so he agrees to leave Chicago.
This new threat smacks some sense into Sugar. She’s going to lose Daedalus if she doesn’t take control of her destiny. So, she insists on accompanying him to his vampire nest. A place filled with danger and where she is prey. Can Sugar protect Daedalus’ back, especially precariously balanced with a cane, from the intrigue surrounding him on his arrival home?
THIS IS A RE-RELEASED VERSION OF THE VANGUARDS SERIES FINALE!

~ BOOK REVIEW for Prima ~
****(4) out of 5 stars!
This volume focuses once again on Sugar and Daedalus, bringing us back to where everything began for the Vanguard clan. But, while we do get to see a little of each of them, this volume focuses almost exclusively on the vampires. Having been tasked with getting his wayward nest under control, Daedalus has no choice except to return to Pal Robi and set things right. He fully intends to leave Sugar behind at home, seeing as he is not only just a human, but also a somewhat frail and broken one. However, she has entirely different ideas, only realizing when she is afraid that she might lose him - one way or another - how much he truly means to her. Sugar pulls on reserves of strength that no one guesses she had in order to confront her dangerous reality. Of course, the fact that she's been so despondent since her injuries that she doesn't care whether she lives or dies, that may also have something to do with it. Things do not go as planned, from little problems to big issues. But eventually they do lead to a resolution that ends up being a happy one for the couple, once they get past their own personal issues as well. And in the end, not only do they get their own happily ever after, but Sugar really comes into her own as Prima. I will definitely miss this fun group of shifters, now that their stories have come to an end.
I received an eBook copy of this title from the author,
and have willingly provided an honest review.
