Blood Wyne

Out of all of the Sisters of the Moon series I look forward to the books about Mennoly. It seems that her books focus on the task at hand; instead of obsessing over the next time she's going to be jumping in the sack.
I like the objective of the sisters looking for the spirit seals/stones. The beasties are a great factor, but it feels like Galenorn opened up a copy of the Encyclopedia of Magical Creatures. Now after getting so far into the series I am seeing the comparisons to the show Charmed now. I think that the differences are that the sisters are from the world of the Fae(also known as Otherworld), and are all different creatures. Maybe it's the way Mennoly portrays the vampire, that they are monstrous predators and not sparkly show more pedophilia-cs; that makes her story so much more convincing. If I'm able to find the rest of the series I'll continue, but they aren't on the urgent to be read list. That's all for now folks...

If you haven't read anything by Yasmine Galenorn I really suggest that you do! This is book 9 in the series. A word of warning to readers, these book have NO closed door policy for the characters love scenes. The sisters have multiple partners and there is a same sex relationship. If you have no issues with either of these they are fantastic romantic urban fantasy reads that keep you wanting more!

What I Like
Characters
Menolly: I am loving her more and more as the series develops. I like that she is slowly learning how to let go of her violent tragic past and blossom into her sexual nature.
Roman: He is the epitome of sexy, dark, alluring vampire. He has a caring nature only if he allows you to see it, but it is best not to cross him or show more there will be grave consequences. I am looking forward to seeing what will develop with him and Menolly.
Vampire Nation
In Menolly's book we get to learn more about the vampire nation and just how strong their influences are. They can be great allies if you play by their rules or very deadly if you don't. I can't wait to find out what part they will play in the coming battle with Shadow Wing.
Location
The great Seattle Washington!! I love that these books are located is my home state, it is very fun to read about some of the places that are actually truly there like the Seattle Underground (which I have yet to go, I haven't done all those touristy things).

What I Missed
Since the books rotate between each sister, I always do miss getting their POV for that scene.

Recommendation
Great for people who love the fae, dragons, shifters, witches, vampires and all those great fantasy characters. This is book 9 in the series of at least 12, but probably more if the readers what it (hell yes I do!!). show less

This is now my favorite Menolly Book. She has grown so much throughout the series. She has had to move on from a horrific past and it is so nice to see her open herself up a little and watch her change. There is a decent amount of action in BLOOD WYNE as well as some sexy scenes. Lots of things happen in BLOOD WYNE that I think are going to shake up all the sisters lives and affect future books. A new character that is introduced is definitely going to shake up Menolly's life and I cant wait to read about it.There hasn't been one book of Ms Galenorn's that I haven't enjoyed reading so far so I would defiantly recommend you pick up one of her series.

Enjoyed the book. The main character has a lot of dimension and depth. Interesting situation. No focus on the special amulets this time.

Just another installment in the series. Moved quickly, a sold adventure, still not sure where the series is headed. Thought it would be over by now!

Written from Menolly's point of view. She adds a new lover, solving a vampire murdering prostitutes. Catches the attention of Elder Fae and introduced a new big bad vampire son of Blood Wyne.

Menolly is going to handfast with Nerissa but is becoming the consort of Roman. Along the way she deals with a vampire serial killer, ghosts with attitude and an Elder Fae.
