I’ve been training for this moment for years, ever since I was dumped at the academy like a piece of trash. I’ve pulled myself up by my bootstraps and taken more beatings, both physical and magical, than any vampire ever should. Now I have my opportunity, my only way out of Westbrook Academy, and I’m not going to blow it. Getting picked by a brotherhood is no easy task, but my life has never been … never been easy.
She’s everything they never knew they wanted, but more than one overly ambitious student wants to win the final place in their brotherhood. It’s up to Cade, Raven, Barclay, Keiran, and Gideon to make sure they pick the best person for their team, after all, the brotherhoods are the only thing stopping the magic world and the human world from crashing into each other.
When things start to go sideways can the guys still trust that they will pick the best candidate for the position, or will it end up being a political game of cat and mouse, as powers out of their control manipulate the future?
STAINED EGOS is the first book in the SALSANG CHRONICLES, a paranormal “why choose” romance series featuring a kick-ass heroine and her part vampire lovers that will leave you breathless and begging for more.

Walkers, shifters, and weavers galore. I was absolutely enchanted with the world building. This is another stay up all night, and read it series.
Loved this book. Loved how the main character evolves. I love the paranormal twists. I wanted to see what would happen to the main character and her men. I couldn’t put it down.
Stained Egos is Book 1 in the Salsang Chronicles series. The combination of Helen Scott and Serena Akeroyd has created a unique storyline and well developed characters with diversity, strength, powers. This Brotherhood of 5 males (Caleb, Kieren, Barclay, Gideon, Raven) arrive at the Academy where Marcella (our FMC) is attending to pick a sixth (a female) who will tie the Brotherhoods powers together to make an unbeatable team. Will Marcella be the sixth? Will the 5 males fight for her? The creativity and way with words these two authors used in plot development and world building is phenomenal. Am anxious to continue on my journey through this series, need to know what happens next. I highly recommend this book. Received a copy from Booksprout and this is my voluntary and honest review.
Paranormal. Rh. 5 vampire hybrids. Academy setting. A group of 5 hybrids looking for a pure blood Sixth, but strings are being pulled. VERY interesting and unique, not the setting but definitely the characters and situations. It keeps you on the edge all the way through. Will be ready the next one. Recommended read.
I loved this book! The premise of the book intrigued me and it did not disappoint. I love how strong the characters are and how hard they fight for each other and to be with each other. Through all the challenges they are able to work together so that they can have the life that they want. This book takes you on an interesting ride that keeps you wanting more as you go through it. I cannot wait for the next book!
The storyline definitely got my attention at the very beginning kept me interested in the twist and turns along with the challenges did not see coming.

This is a great start to this series! With a different take on pure blood and half blood vampires this world has me hooked! Add a kick ass heroine ( I mean who doesn’t love one of those!!!) her five males who together make a brotherhood, twists and turns, excitement, action and drama and you have a fantastic paranormal read! I love the characters and cannot wait to see how this progresses!
Wow – these two writers have created an intriguing Academy, RH series. Marcella is tough, and has had to fight for everything. I like seeing how the guys help and push her. The guys are interesting and unique and I’m looking forward to learning more about them and Marcella.
This is the first book of the Salsang Chronicles series and I loved it! The writers captivate your attention right from the beginning. You are able to get a sense for the character personalities and are drawn immediately into the action of the story. The book is full of twists and turns, fast paced, action packed and the chemistry between Marcella and five members of the brotherhood is steamy. I cannot say enough about this book and I highly recommend it. I can’t wait for book two in the series!!

Hazing to the Extreme!
Read this book in one sitting; as I do with all of Helen Scott books. Great story, characters and adventures. Cannot wait for the next book in this series.
Surviving ongoing prejudice and hazing from peers at the academy, she has been able to keep her potential under everyone’s radar. Until the Brotherhood shows up looking for their next Sixth. A prestigious role that binds them all into one big powerhouse. However, who the Brotherhood wants and who will assigned is anyone’s guess.

It was a really intriguing read with all those points of view and the unique system of the Academy.
The idea of the Sixth was quite interesting too.
At times I felt a bit lost but reading the developing of the story was worth it.
It was an unexpected twist of the vampire folklore.

The deceit and suspense with all out drama makes this story amazing. This has so much of the mystery and hot romance to add to it that it is unbelievably good. The characters are extremely well developed and this story is unique. I loved how much chemistry is between them that it makes it a story that you can’t put down. Yes, it does end in a cliffhanger but boy is it good. I can’t wait for the next one. It is definitely worth reading and doesn’t disappoint.

Eastbrook Academy, where Cade, Raven, Barclay, Gideon, and Keiran graduated from, had over eight thousand students of mixed-species brats, referred to as Stained by the purebloods. Their 5-male brotherhood is looking for a final member from Westbrook Academy, a female princess of pure blood, to complete them.
Marcella is one of the females looking to become the Sixth member of a brotherhood, but she will have to fight for it. Others want that same position and this will not be easy. And the deck seems stacked against Marcella as there are plans to make sure someone else wins! Will the bullied Marcella find the strength to stand up and fight for her men? Will the guys intervene to accept and protect the female they really want? Or will everyone be put in danger if they try?
This was an interesting story as the reader is given the background of the brotherhoods. It was good to see the characters grow and become stronger as the story line progressed. Each had their own powers that completed the group. The story had plenty of action and drama and this looks like a good beginning to an interesting series! Jump in and don’t get left behind!

I loved this book. The character development was great. The world building was good. You got a chance to know the characters, and the storyline was excellent. I loved the twists in the action. The contest was great. You get to hate at least one person, so you get a chance to yell at the book which always helps. It was fun. Loved it!!
