Luther's Return (Scanguards Vampires, Book 10)

4 STARS!

This is the 10th book in the series and it isn't getting old. I don't know how Tina Folsom does it! Each book brings something new and exciting to the series which I love so much. This book features Luther, a vampire we first meet in the second book. It's set 20 years into the future, and a lot has changed. All the vampire couples have teenage children.

When Luther is released after serving 20 years in a secret vampire prison, he returns to Scanguards in San Francisco to try to atone for the crimes he committed against Samson, Delilah, Amaury and Nina. Unfortunately, he arrives just in time to be accused of the abduction of Isabelle, Samson and Delilah's daughter.

Once he assures everyone that he had nothing to do with it (it was a pretty big coincidence, after all!), he decides to do what he can to help rescue her. AND, once he discovers that the actual target of the kidnapping was not Isabelle, but another woman, Katie Fairfax, all of his protective instincts kick in, and keeping Katie safe from harm becomes as important to him as seeing Isabelle safely rescued.I loved both main of the main characters.

Luther is a tough ex-VCon (that's short for Vampire Convict), who's convinced that he's had and lost his chance at love, and that his lot in life is to remain alone. He's even convinced himself that he prefers it that way. Until Katie barges into his life. And barges she does! She's a no-nonsense woman who's seen and experienced the worst of what humanity has to offer, and yet hasn't become cynical. She knows what she wants, and that's Luther. It's pure pleasure watching these two fall in love, even though they refuse to admit that's what it is. As far as they're both concerned, they'll be together till they can rescue Isabelle, then go their separate ways. Neither one wants to see what we've been seeing all along!

Every time Tina Folsom writes a new Scanguards book, I always tell myself that this one couldn't possibly top the last one. It was true of Oliver's Hunger, it was true of Thomas's Choice, it was true of Cain's Identity, and it's true of this one. And each time I'm proven wrong! Somehow each book manages to be better and hotter than the one before it! The same is true of Luther's Return. This is the best Scanguards yet! Dare I hope that #11, Blake's Pursuit, will be even better? Blake was a real stand-out character in Luther's Return. He went from being the entitled, spoiled rich kid we first met several books back, to being a responsible, smart, ultra-cool-in-a-crisis guy with real main character potential, and I can't wait to see where Tina Folsom takes him! The next books are going to feature a new group of vampires, and I hope it's based on my favourite couples children. I cant wait to see what this series has in store next
