Blood on the Moon

review 1: FIRST of all for those that say this is a copy of Twilight: It is not. And please do not compare Bella to Faith. Bella is smart, selfless and likable. Faith is stupid, selfish and just plain annoying.Now the review:Well, I was looking for something new to read when a friend lend this book to me and I gave it a go. I must say that I found the writing style very easy to read, not like some other book where it takes me a couple hours to adapt. But that's where the good about this book ends.I found the main character (Faith) very whiny, selfish, annoying, blind and lacking a brain.I kind of get why she doesn't trust men as far as she can throw them and feels she can't love after her stepfather, who she considered her father, beat her mom and then shot her. But, remember I say ... more'kind of'. My grudge with her on this matter is how she can't forgive Derek (BFF and once-boyfriend) after he cheated on her. I mean, the author kept on and on through Faith about not being able to trust him after his betrayal and when she finally expands on it we find out Derek just kissed a girl. And he felt terrible about it and went crying to her to ask for her forgiveness. Part of the betrayal was due to Faith not giving herself completely to Derek her then boyfriend, I guess he tried to look elsewhere what he couldn't find on Faith, and I don't mean have sex with him. So she doesn't trust Derek for the mistake he made, then later in the book when she is talking to Lucas about how many people he has killed, he doesn't respond but Faith imagines that he killed a lot, evil people and innocents by accident. And then she goes all 'you made mistake, no one is perfect, we all screw up, you gotta get past that' and she couldn't forgive Derek for the little kiss. Oh, but Lucas kills innocent people, ok, by mistake, but she is all forgiveness with him.Faith kept on just being plain stupid:- Running without knowing where the hell she is going very close to dark when she knows a vampire is just waiting for the darkness to arrive to hunt her down.- Talking just because she can when she starts touching Lucas knowing contact between them makes him lose control and telling him "SHE KNOWS he can control himself and not change", ofc he loses control and changes and almost kills her if not for another werewolf that rescues her. And what does she do when Lucas changes back to human? She goes and embraces him! Hello? He just lost control because you touched him and there you go touching again!!!- The next day they have a conversation and Faith says "SHE KNOWS he won't ever hurt her because SHE KNOWS (again with this) that deep inside Lucas is a protector and she trusts him". Totally forgetting that not 24 hours ago she was about to become Lucas-the-werewolf's chew toy.I simply couldn't read past that. Gave it up at around 85%. Sorry but I'm not finishing this, there is only so much I can stand.
review 2: Another reproduction of Twilight with the focus on the werewolf getting the girl this time. Faith, the MC, has all the qualities of a quintessential brat (read: annoying, whiny, selfish, insecure, indecisive…). I filed this under ‘dnf’ based on all the stupid decisions she repeatedly made throughout the story coupled with the author’s failed attempt at creating a ridiculous love triangle. less
