Book excerpt: Author’s note – It would be best to read Strigoi Redemption before reading the Marinescu Brothers series as it is the basis for the series. Simion Marinescu Born in 1401 in Moldavia. He was the fifth son of a seventh son. His brother Victor was the seventh son of a seventh son; therefore, he was born strigoi. Their father, Atanase, was the seventh son, so his mate and his children were all blessed as he was. They should all be immortal, but only Victor was strigoi. Phoebe Snow Born in 1845, Phoebe kept the fact that she is a phoenix shifter hidden. Her family disowned her and dropped her off at an orphanage in Maine when she was three. Where she stayed till she turned eighteen. Esmée hired Phoebe to be the private physical therapist for Ladinas. So she moved to East Falmouth, MA to work. He needed help to recover from the accident that happened on his honeymoon. Esmée chose Phoebe for a reason. She had a vision about Phoebe and Simion. They were going to be being mates. Things all seem to be lined to fall into place. Until they realize there is an unknown creature is out there. This creature is out to cause chaos and harm to loved ones. Will it get its way or will they uncover the truth in time?
