Emily has not
changed in fifty years. A freak accident made her immortal, or so she thinks.
When she is finally allowed to return to her beloved England all is not as she
expected. So much has changed. The past she was holding onto does not exist.
Since the Second World War, people have embraced a new age. In this era, people
have an obsession with gadgets, strange clothes and weird music.
Added to this her
blood-lust has become insatiable and her promise to control herself is torn to
shreds. That is until she meets Paul. She never expected to find love... and
when it happens, can she do what it takes to hold on to it?
Fate has never been
kind to Emily, and it gives her everything she wants at a cost. She must pay a
price for being a murderer. For within her twisted heart lies a dark soul.
After being enthralled by the trilogy I was
delighted to hear Vanessa Wester had written a prequel. This novella provides a
fascinating insight into Emily, one of the key characters from the trilogy. It
enhances the reader's understanding of the character's motivations and
behaviour. The honest and heartfelt writing style is entirely consistent with
the main books, and this tale serves as a great addendum to the series. I was
hooked from page one!

“I was really pleased when I saw that
Vanessa had written a prequel featuring Emily.....who turned out to be a bit of
a lass! A 5* rating which is completely deserved.”

“… I understand the character of Emily and
her choices even better. I couldn't put it down”

“Emily is one of the main supporting
characters in The Evolution Trilogy which is one of the few trilogies that I
can truly say I couldn't wait to finish and hated finishing all at once. I knew
I wanted the entire trilogy by the time I wasn't even half way through book
one, Hybrid… The entire series, including this novella, the realistic and
relate-able characters, the rich environments and the variety of real life
scenarios interwoven with the outrageous and the paranormal made these books a series
on my LOVE to read list that I will always support and recommend to others.
Without adding spoilers, this prequel
novella can work as a stand-alone read, or in addition to the trilogy and you
understand Emily so much better and why her actions and attitude seem to change
with a "whim". What would you do if a change beyond your control took
everything away from you and then you were taken away from everything you knew
and loved? No one knows until they are in that situation. After years Emily is
finally allowed to return to the place she loved, but so much time has passed
and so many things have changed that it's all new…
The story is heart wrenching and beautiful
all at once. Another solid story from the amazing mind of Vanessa Wester!”
