What a wonderful idea Ms Ellisson!! I have been an avid reader of your stories of the VV Inn, your characters have become family to me. I love Vivian aka Dria and her bonded mate Rafe along with the vamps, and weres living at the VV Inn located  in the cold north country of Alaska.  We have met Jon in the three novels already written, Book #1 Vampire Vacation, Book #2 The Hunt and Book #3 Big Game.  We have seen Jon in the intricate web you have spun for his relationship with Vivian and Rafe.  But we have never have been told how Jon came to be Dria's blood servant. This is their story.Jonathan Winchester is a werewolf living with his pack in Manitoba.  In his third year of college in Virginia, he was attacked by a werewolf and taken in by a couple who were the Alphas of a pack.  Now the Alpha wolf in him is coming out, bringing issues between he and the same Alpha pack leader, butting heads. He had ideas that would be beneficial to his pack and was trying to bring the Alpha into the 20th century to no avail. This day, the fight was the last straw, hearing his Alpha saying, "If you walk out of here don't come back!" Jon was gone. Having given up his family in Virginia with them thinking he died in the attack, where would he go?Jon drives south and realizes he is in Northern Virginia. It area is comforting to him, and he stops at a place to eat and meets Raine, a waitress there. He is interested in her, feeling her wolf within, and as their feelings grow she disappears. The only one he can turn to ask for the help is from his alpha pack leader and is refused. He is desperate to find someone anyone to help. As luck would have it  he stumbles upon Dria and Rafe. Finding out Dria is a vampire and watching the loving couple together, he learns of many things he is not aware of, one thing being that vampires love having a were blood servant because such blood makes them stronger. In his quest to get help for Raine, he begs Dria  giving her himself as her blood servant.This story is wonderful. We already know where Jon fits with Dria and Rafe, so it is a interesting for Ms Ellisson to give her readers the pre-quel to how they all began. I have always loved Jon and now that I know more about his beginnings, I love him even more. I can see now this relationship of trust between the three of them  and how it would certainly grow whichI know it has. Jon is utterly and unequivocally bound to Vivian.  I wait to see more of him in the next novel.....Will Rafe share????? has been the question.Review by Gloria LakritzSr Reviewer and Review Chair for the Paranormal Romance Guild
