review 1: The author, Robin Waldrop, hit her stride with this one. No one can compare this book to the Twilight Series (not without losing all credibility). The story is unique and riveting. There are enough action and plot twists to keep anyone turning the page. The characters were very well developed and scene description was vivid. Gen has grown up a lot. I could relate to her much better than in the first book. Her feelings and reactions are no longer completely self-involved. Gen’s struggle over decisions in impossible situations made her a much more empathetic heroine. She’s still Gen, just more likable, which makes the relationships of the love triangle more believable. There is something for the guys to love. Waldrop didn't completely abandon the mystical angle between G... moreen, William and Joseph, though. She just backed it up with real people. I tend to favor Joseph. William is way too moody. William and Joseph are slowly becoming Will and Joe, while Gen is more often called Genevieve. I’m not sure how I feel about that. I guess Gen’s name change makes sense, given her position. I can even see Joseph calling William, Will. The one I have a problem with is Joseph. Joe is just… It feels awkward but new things often do. I’ll have to see with the next book. That was the good; now the bad. Editing. Misspelled words, extra words, misused words, missing commas and missing words were fairly common. As much as I read, I expect a few errors but this was well past the norm. However, I wouldn't let that dissuade you from reading the book. It’s well worth your time.Overall, this installment of The Blood Moon Series is wonderful. The characters, description and plot are outstanding. I can’t wait for book 3 to be released in a few weeks.
review 2: This was an exciting sequel to the Blood Moon series. From the very first page you were thrown into the deep end of major chaos with little down time and heart racing scenes.In this book our main characters, William and Gen travel to Prague in order to look for Gen’s mom who has been kidnapped. What they find there in Prague is more than what they were looking for. This story starts out with William doubting Gen’s innocents about major news worthy incidences. His actions lead Gen to attempt to sever ties and seek out her own help. This doesn’t last very long but it starts a major slippery slope of distrust, dishonestly, disconnection and a whole lot of disorder.We get introduced to new interesting characters and places which leads you deeper into the Blood Moon world. As we meet these new people and visit new locations we get a better understanding of what is going on. While lots of the original characters return the new ones are just as interesting with their own motives and unique abilities. The only issue I had with this book is the back and forth of feelings and relationships between Gen, William, and Joseph. At times I kind of just gave up on who to root for, if either one at all. The good thing was that I was emotionally involved with both lead male characters but the situation was a little exhausting. Either way, as some point I was still hopeful for both. None the less this book was still a good read just emotionally draining which can be a good and/or bad thing. It’s always interesting to see how an author differentiates her book from the next author and Robin has done a stand up job. The anticipation of what is to come is monumental at the end of this book. I’m a little nervous of what is to become of these characters. I will certainly be picking up the next book in the series with anxious delight. less
