Description

<p><span><span>Harold Godwineson, the Last Anglo-Saxon King, owed everything to his father. Who was this Godwine, first Earl of Wessex and known as the Kingmaker? Was he an unscrupulous schemer, using King and Witan to gain power? Or was he the greatest of all Saxon Earls, protector of the English against the hated Normans? The answer depends on who you ask. He was befriended by the Danes, raised up by Canute the Great, given an Earldom and a wife from the highest Danish ranks. He sired nine children, among them four Earls, a Queen and a future King. Along with his power came a struggle to keep his enemies at bay, and Godwine's best efforts were brought down by the misdeeds of his eldest son Swegn. Although he became father-in-law to a reluctant Edward the Confessor, his fortunes dwindled as the Normans gained prominence at court. Driven into exile, Godwine regathered his forces and came back even stronger, only to discover that his second son Harold was destined to surpass him in renown and glory.</span></span></p>

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>
