“The only monster you need to be afraid of is the one inside of me.” 
 
Aris Crow returns to Coast City not as a hero, but as a powerful vampire determined to kill the dark creatures who destroyed all that mattered to him. But, as a monster himself, he'll have to conquer his own demons and also unite with old enemies if he has any chance of saving his city. 




A Monster's Birth is the 6th installment in the Rouen Chronicles, as well as the 2nd installment in Aris Crow's story arc. It has been 6 months since Aris Crow rose as a vampire. He has spent the past 6 months training with Samira who readers of this series should know about. Aris blood is pure and strong thanks to his connection to Elizabeth Bathory. But, can he control the monster, or will the monster control him? While Aris is learning his way as a vampire, his home in Coast City has become a haven for all kinds of vampires. 

His nemesis Victor is no longer the big dog in town. A worst sort of villain has taken over. His name is Bastian, which you would have met if you read the first installment in this story arc. Bastian is an old and powerful vampire who answers to the Ministry. The Ministry consists of a group of 9 vampires, witches and shape shifters who think the should be ruling the world, and not humans. With Samira off dealing with issues in Rouen, Aris's allies include Rebecca, a shifter, as well as Oz, a geek of extraordinary talents who also has a sister, Amy, who found some good news in regards to her health. 

Aris has some interesting twists to deal with. Someone is still experimenting with the V-Protein creating unbelievably strong monsters, humans have all but given up that anyone will show up and be the hero they need, and Aris is still trying to figure out what to do with his relationship with Emma now that he's a vampire and she's a human. I absolutely recommend that you read all 3 of Aris's books before moving back to Samira's. The reason is that Aris will soon be joining Samira and her allies as they fight against really powerful enemies. Aris first has to put his own home in order before he moves on to something else.
