The Viper’s Bloodline Awakened (The Gods’ Scion Series) by Winnifred Tataw – Review by Kerry Carr

The Viper’s Bloodline Awakened: The Fifth Book in the Urban Fantasy series The Gods’ Scion by Winnifred Tataw
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the fifth book in the The Gods’ Scion series. These are urban fantasy adventures with so many elements such as gods, danger, deception, political, family ties and deception. As this is the fifth book in the series I do really recommend reading them in order as they follow on from each other and if you just jump straight into this story you may become confused about the characters, their connection and the story up to this point.
This is a engaging story that held my attention from beginning to end. There is so many twists and turns that I could never tell where the author was leading us, the story telling was so good that I lost track of time reading this book.
This is a story about a family trying to survive in a world where everyone is trying to take their position. Queen Riva and her family have been trying their best to support and protect their people. When a man arrives claiming to be the rightful heir to the throne Queen Riva and her family need to work together to stop this stranger taking over.

Arcelia has her own problems as secrets have been kept from her by Rodrick. The one person who she is supposed to be able to trust and depend on and she now finds out he’s been keeping things from her. Things that she needed to know. Can they work through their issues and become strong to support both of their families. And what with Arcelia do? How far will she go to protect her family and the people she cares about?
This story is full of magic, gods, lies, secrets and intrigue which means I couldn’t put it down. This author never fails to impress me with the immersive world building and story. I can’t wait to read more.
