Description:
Genevieve Labreck is back with a score to settle. Her mom has
been kidnapped by Zane, hybrid and all-around monster. Rumors fly that Gen’s
mom is holed away in Prague, a city recognized by humans for its serene beauty
and intense culture, but Gen and Will know something humans don’t. Prague is
haunted by dark, evil forces.
Can Gen and Will save her mom, or will they be too late?
Some will live, others will fall. At what price do you walk away
from those you love?
Review:
Genevieve and Co. are back
in the fast paced sequel to Ties to the Blood Moon, and, as in the first book,
is filled with crazy plot twists. Genevieve is trying to find her mother, who,
she has discovered, is being held by the hybrid Zane and follows him to the
Czech Republic, where Robin Waldrop transports you to dangerous nightclubs as
well as ancient castles and manor houses. I really enjoyed losing myself in the
descriptions of the myriad locations, and the fast pace and twists in the plot
kept the pages turning.
Unfortunately, though I was
interested in the story line, I really had a disconnect with the main
character. Throughout much of the book Genevieve was whiny, selfish and bratty.
While this behavior did somewhat lead to an important event in the book, I had
a hard time enjoying the exciting plot while my mind was on how much I wanted
to slap the heroine and tell her to go put on her big girl panties. I have
hopes though that she has learned her lesson now and will become the selfless
leader of the Adlet wolves she was born to be.
If you enjoyed Ties to the
Blood Moon, I would definitely say to check out Shadow of the Blood Moon as
well, and if you haven’t read either of these books and are looking for an
exciting vampire/werewolf story, and I think you should check out this one.
Despite how I felt about Genevieve in this book, the plot twists and killer
cliff hanger ending were such that I really want to see how this all pans out.
