Mortal Wish: A Scanguards Vampires Novella Kindle Edition
Jake Stone comes to an island with a magical spring to have his only wish in life fulfilled: to be mortal again. As a vampire, he's tired of the lonely and unfulfilling life he's been living. Then he meets Claire Culver, a woman whose trip to the island is her last hope. She wishes for a miracle to cure her of a terminal illness. Will her wish be granted, or will this be her last Christmas?
Where does this novella fit into the Scanguards timeline?
It takes place several years before Samson's story kicks off the Scanguards Vampires series in San Francisco with Samson's Lovely Mortal. Well-loved Scanguards characters—Gabriel, Zane, and Amaury will make an appearance in this short novella.
ABOUT THE SERIES
The Scanguards Vampires series is full of fast-paced action, scorching love scenes, witty dialogue, and strong heroes and heroines. Vampire Samson Woodford lives in San Francisco and owns a security/bodyguard company, Scanguards, which employs both vampires and humans. And eventually some witches. Throw in a few immortal guardians and demons later in the series, and you'll get the drift! Each book can be read as a standalone and always centers around a new couple finding love, but the series is more enjoyable when read in order. And of course, there are always a few running jokes - you'll understand when you meet Wesley, a wannabe witch. Enjoy!

This new story is fast and romantic. Though some might feel it was rushed, I'd say it's perfect.
The lonely Vampire looking for a normal life, and the desperate human looking for a miracle.
If that doesn't sound like the makings of a romantic book, then nothing does.
We get a "small" appearance from Gabriel, Zane (my favorite smart a@@) and Amaury. I would of loved a bit more of Jake's past along with Claire but it was still sooooooooooo good that I was left with a big smile on my face. Now just have to wait patiently till January for Blake's Pursuit.
As with all of the other Scansguard books, I saw Mortal Wish was live from the newsletter and immediately bought it.
This one just did not do it for me.
It felt extremely rushed and just kind of as if it was quickly thrown together to appease readers. I felt the usual passion behind the words was lacking.
It had nothing to do with Scanguards until the last paragraph.
As I was reading I kept thinking, "Why is this labeled a Scanguards book?!" Then, I understood and it was just "Eh." for me.
The book was short and it was hot. I read it quickly. It just fell flat for me and I was disappointed.
With that said, Blake's story has just come out and it's one I've been waiting for, so its now waiting for me.
Time to dive back into the world of my beloved Scansguard characters.
Final thought from me: Mortal Wish is just an ok novella in a line-up of amazing books. It can definitely be skipped for those extremely dedicated to the series.

Like all the Scanguards, there is more to being human than a beating heart. Kindness of leads to redemption. If you are willing to forgive yourself and give life a chance, you just might find your place in this world.
