This is a review of Unwelcome by Michael Griffo. This is book 2 of the
Archangel Academy trilogy. It is a M/M romance. It is technically
supposed to be a young adult novel but I don't recommend it for anyone
under 17 due to some sexual content and violence.This tale once again follows the lives of water vampires Michael and Ronan.
In this book we meet David Zachary. David Zachary is the king of the regular vampires (not the water vampires). Ronan recognizes him and knows who he is because of a past relationship between David and Ronan's mother Edwige. Ronan does not trust him and knows that David had ulterior motives. We find out that David's ulterior motive is to destroy the water vampires and to find and destroy The Well which is the source of life for the water vampires.
We see a tangled web of lies and insecurity throughout this book.Michael is having doubts throughout the story about Ronan because he knows Ronan is keeping secrets from him and disappearing on mysterious trips. He doesn't really trust him because of all of the secrets. Ronan feels like he is protecting Michael by not telling him the truth. The web of lies the Ronan has been spinning eventually unravels and Michael finds out everything.
Michael also discovers that his father is one of Them (the regular vampires). He gets into a huge fight with his father and decides he never wants to see him again when he is shown a vision that shows his father killing his mother.
We also see the introduction of Saoirse in this book. Saoirse is the human sister of Ronan and Ciaran. Saoirse ends up getting kidnapped and Michael saves her with the help of Phaedra (a being that can turn into fog and has been protecting Michael). Saoirse has a big secret that is revealed that tells of her origins.
David sends someone to attempt to destroy The Well but he fails and is ripped apart because The Well is protecting itself and won't let anyone near it that shouldn't be there.A new era of evil has started at Archangel Academy with the evolution of David Zachary into a new being thanks to the angel Zachriel. We are left with the question of will the young men of Archangel Academy and the water vampires be able to defeat this evil and save themselves? This is a question sure to be answered in the third and final book.
