Description

<p><span style="color:rgb(15,17,17);font-family:'Amazon Ember', Arial, sans-serif;font-size:14px;">Richard II found himself under siege not once, but twice in his minority. Crowned king at age ten, he was only fourteen when the Peasants' Revolt terrorized London. But he proved himself every bit the Plantagenet successor, facing Wat Tyler and the rebels when all seemed lost. Alas, his triumph was short-lived, and for the next ten years he struggled to assert himself against his uncles and increasingly hostile nobles. Just like in the days of his great-grandfather Edward II, vengeful magnates strove to separate him from his friends and advisors, and even threatened to depose him if he refused to do their bidding. The Lords Appellant, as they came to be known, purged the royal household with the help of the Merciless Parliament. They murdered his closest allies, leaving the King alone and defenseless. He would never forget his humiliation at the hands of his subjects. Richard's inability to protect his adherents would haunt him for the rest of his life, and he vowed that next time, retribution would be his.</span><br /><span class="a-text-bold" style="color:rgb(15,17,17);font-family:'Amazon Ember', Arial, sans-serif;font-size:14px;font-weight:700;">B.R.A.G.

Far too many times we have seen the werewolves used in subservient capacities. This was NOT the case. The werewolves in this novel are ferocious, clever, calculating creatures. Their personalities practically smack of wolf-like tendencies even in their human forms.<br /><br /> Conri and Saoirse's romance spans through time. They have an ease with one another that extends itself beyond comfort. She's quite obviously his PARTNER in all things. Loved it. Mike caught Bentley at a particularly low point in her life and watching them transform one another emotionally is hard, especially as the reader when you know that their romance is headed into choppy water toward the end.<br /><br /> Though my favorite wolf of all was Savannah King. I hope to learn more about her even if its in a short story unrelated to the plot of the next novel.<br /><br /> The vampires seemed to run the gamut as far as temperament was concerned. Some were laid back, others were downright maniacal, and a few easily fell right in between. If I was FORCED to pick a favorite vampire of all in this novel It would be a tie between Kael and Bellamy it was interesting watching them become closer, and I absolutely loved their fight scene.<br /><br /> I don't want to give TOO much away, but the epilogue just ruined me. I am dying to know more about the character it centers around and what it will mean for both the weres and vamps!</span></div> <p> </p> <div class="a-row" style="width:1040px;color:rgb(17,17,17);font-family:Arial, sans-serif;line-height:19px;"><span class="a-size-base a-color-secondary review-byline" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);"><span class="a-color-secondary">By</span><a class="a-size-base a-link-normal author" href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/pdp/profile/A1MA0YT9R9QFYB/ref=cm_cr_pr_pdp?ie=UTF8" style="color:rgb(128,15,128);">Cbrown3283</a></span><span class="a-size-base a-color-secondary review-date" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">on </span></div> <div class="a-row a-spacing-mini review-data" style="width:1040px;color:rgb(17,17,17);font-family:Arial, sans-serif;line-height:19px;margin-bottom:6px;"><a class="a-size-mini a-link-normal a-color-secondary" href="http://www.amazon.com/Blood-Moon-Dark-Series-Book-ebook/product-reviews/B00OJQ0WL8/ref=cm_cr_pr_rvw_fmt?ie=UTF8&amp;sortBy=bySubmissionDateDescending&amp;formatType=current_format" style="color:rgb(128,15,128);font-size:11px;line-height:1.465;">Format: Kindle Edition</a><span class="a-declarative"><a class="a-link-normal" href="http://www.amazon.com/Blood-Moon-Dark-Series-Book-ebook/product-reviews/B014I7MA8A/ref=cm_cr_pr_rvw_rvwer?ie=UTF8&amp;reviewerType=avp_only_reviews&amp;sortBy=bySubmissionDateDescending" style="color:rgb(128,15,128);"><span class="a-size-mini a-color-state a-text-bold" style="color:rgb(196,85,0);font-size:11px;line-height:1.465;font-weight:700;">Verified Purchase</span></a></span></div> <div class="a-row review-data" style="width:1040px;color:rgb(17,17,17);font-family:Arial, sans-serif;line-height:19px;"><span class="a-size-base review-text">The regular vampire or werewolf novels are always fun but this adds a great twist to awaken my love of the genre. The characters are well developed and make you hate or love them. The force you to feel a vested interest in their fate. The erotic undertones remind me that this isn't your usual bedtime story but one to tingle all the senses!</span></div>
