Brilliant!!!
My first ever vampire story and as with all his other books, Zane didn’t disappoint. Sebastian’s hot, sexy confidence and apparent ego made me smirk from the offset and I loved the chatty nature of the dialogue, chuckling at many of the lines and references. The storyline and characters were exciting and intruiging. I was enraptured and am now a vampire fan……if they are anything like Sebastian. I can’t wait for book two.
Zane Michaelson has written a wonderful vampire story. Paramormal romance centering around Sebsatian and Adriel Zilka whom he meets one day. I loved this book. It has mystery, lust, passion and is out of this world. I love vampire stories, and this one drew me in more. Mr. michaelson has given us a sexy, hot, romance that will have you wanting more. I’m looking forward to book 2. I want to know what will happen next. A must, must, must hot vampire read.
I am a fan of PNR so there was no doubt I would be reading this book just from looking at the delicious cover. The story of Sebastian and Adriel is unique while at the same time sticking with the unwritten expectations of a vampire story. This story has all the Zane Michaelson signature writing traits of putting emotions into his words and pulling you into the story.
For those that have never read a vampire book or a PNR book, this one is a great place to start. It of course does have some biting, but who doesn’t like a good bite every now and then. It has the needed heat and steam. It is not gory, or bloody. And you can feel the pull of the connection between Sebastian and Adriel in more ways than one and there is no doubt about his willingness to protect her, and the desire that is building……
I am amazed at the versatility of Zane’s writing. I do believe he can write any subgenre in the Romance/Erotica world and do it extremely well. This does end in a slight cliffhanger, so I don’t yet know how the story ends, but I am looking forward to the ride to the end. I encourage anyone that enjoys a Steamy Romance to give it a read.
Absolutely loved it
I love a good romance and paranormal book. I’ve read all this authors work and loved every one because they are so different and there seems to be no end to his talent. He can flick from one genre to another and still his writing is spectacular. But I have to say this one is a story not to be missed and definately one of my top favourite books to read.
Sebastian is an old vampyre that likes his own space, away from his own kind, and although he sticks to the vampire code, will he do so now he’s met the one? Sebastian is drawn into a little shop after looking at a cross but was this just a coincidence or was this fate stepping in. You can’t help but love the characters from this story and Sebastian is a true gent until something or someone comes to threaten someone he loves. Sebastian and all his kind fall in love hard even though it’s against the vampire code to love humans it does happen. I give this book 5 stars because it’s a story that keeps your turning the pages but also I feel his writing in this one is profound and the impact of the story hold no bounds. I just wish I had the next one so I could see what happens and how this story unfolds.
Love it not to much sex but when its there you no about it
Zane has made a change in genre here and written us a Paranormal Romance, and has TOTALLY NAILED IT!!!!!!! Absolutely Brilliant read!!!!
Sebastian is a 312 year old Vampire who in his past life was involved with the Church, and loved all that it stood for. He’s a total gentleman, that follow’s the rule’s of his kind but very sympathetic to all human’s and there way of life. While admiring a silver cross in an Antic’s store one day, he meets the very captivating Adriel Zilkha and is immediately drawn to her and senses a difference in her, that has him thinking maybe she could be The One. This story takes us on a journey through time, to other Immortal being’s and how Adriel fit’s into this equation?
I absolutely loved this phenomenal story and Zane’s perfection to detail’s as he took us into a different direction with his story telling.
OMG! This is not your typical vampire book. It is almost modern day. I am not a fan of vampire books, but this one will change your mind. It is a love story with some twists and will keep you on the edge of your seat. It is a cliffhanger and we will have to wait until the next book to see what happens. Enjoy
“Despite what I was, I still believed my soul could be saved, and that one day, when I was bored of roaming this earth, or time was at an end, with penance, I would eventually be welcomed through Heaven’s gates. Not anymore. I’d ruined any chance I might have had.”
I love a good vampire story, and I cannot tell you enough how much I loved this one!! It’s got real bite!!

When the truth is revealed, will Sebastian be her Savior, or her destroyer?
I’ve read my share of vampire stories. I love them. They’re sexy, and the stories are usually action-packed and sensual all at the same time. Mr. Michaelson does not disappoint an any of these fronts, and the angle he has taken is not one I’ve come across before! This is book one, so expect unfinished business, but you’ll be longing to sink your teeth in to book 2, just like I am!!
Will I finally popped my Zane Michaelson cherry, I have heard so much about his writing I had to try it! You can’t go wrong with his story, I love anything supernatural so this book was right up my alley!!
This character’s pull you right into their story, it flows with such ease, I can’t wait to read the next in the series!!
Intriguing plot with the perfect blend of suspense and romance. I was immediately drawn in by the chemistry between the seductive and naughty vampire Sebastian and the charming an mysterious Adriel. Great dialogue from the first page to the last. The unpredictable twist at the end leaves the reader itching to read book two in the series. I highly recommend The One.
Absolutely brilliantly phenomenal! Zane has switched genre’s and wriiten a Paranormal Romance and he’s hit it out of the park! I love a great vampire story and I was not disappointed. This story has mystery, passion, love, and you will love Sebastian and Adriel and the connection snd chemistry between them. This is a 5 star read, and I can’t wait for book
There’s a new Vampire to top the genre…Sebastian Fernandez…
I love vampire books and when you add other beings into the mix, I’m in heaven. They have to tick all of my boxes though. Gorgeous, sexy, bad ass vampire. Feisty female heroine who likes to have her neck bitten. Secondary characters that you love, hate or love to hate. A plot that is interesting and that I care what happens next. Zane Michaelson has well and truly ticked all my boxes. The One is a spectacular tale of vampires in modern times. I love the instant connection between Sebastian and Adriel. No compulsion required either. Adriel is thrown into a world she knew nothing of and didn’t run off screaming into the night. She wants to find out more and she wants to do it with Sebastian by her side. I won’t reveal plot spoilers because I don’t like to ruin others enjoyment of a book. I am so looking forward to the next in the series. Highly recommended 5 stars totally deserved.
This short story is amazing. I normally don’t read paranormal because they’re just too weird but this author has written one heck of a good book. It’s well written and the story flows and captivates you from the beginning until the end. Can’t wait to read another one.
Love a great PNR
This is such a great beginning to this story. It kept me on the edge of my seat. I can’t wait for the next installment in this series to see what’s going to happen with Sebastian the Vampire and Adriel “the chosen one.”
I read this is one sitting and loved it! The author has changed his genre for this one and did a great job. Paranormal is an intense subject and he nailed it full on. It has the drama, secrets, vampire antics and does not let you down. The characters are great, the chosen one is found and he will do anything to protect her. He can read minds, and sometimes doesn’t like what he hears. She (the chosen one) is new to paranormal and didn’t have a clue until he came into her life.
Together, they are trying to find a way to fix this sticky situation, and along with another is determined to find out what can be done to save her and himself from the higher ups.
It is a great read with everything that goes into it. Hot as hades in some places, secrets that haven’t been answered, some that have. An emotional rollercoaster of feelings about an awesome story, humans and the other world. Can’t wait for the next one to continue with this great story. Highly recommend as a great read.
This was my first vampire story and I didn’t know what to expect..
It drew me in right from the start and held me till the end, and left me wanting more I didn’t want to put it down.
I knew if anyone could get me to love a vampire story it would be Zane Michaelson I wasn’t disappointed..
Zane Michaelson again brought his characters to life
I loved Sebastian you get to see him fall in love with Adriel is she the one?
By the end I was so into this story that when I turned the last page and saw to be continued I really felt like throwing my kindle at the wall!!!
This is very well written that’s what you always get from a Zane Michaelson book. He will make you feel this story and fall in love with a vampire not just read it. ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT….
Can’t wait for book 2
I highly recommend this book and this Author
