Blood Moon Rising by Amelia Faulkner (Tooth & Claw #2)

A pack in turmoil. A ray of sunlight. A moon that demands blood... Randall Carter is in love. If only he could say it to Ellis’ face, but he’s been too busy - or too much of a coward - and now he may never get that chance. With the threat of a blood moon looming in the night sky his Alpha is on the warpath against both a new pack invading his territory and the vampire lover he ordered Randall to destroy. Ellis O’Neill’s problems are mounting fast. Randall’s Alpha wants to kill him, a vampire neighbour invites him to join some sort of coup, and his secrets are stacking up like firewood waiting for a single spark to set them ablaze. The last person he expects to betray his trust is the man he’s fallen in love with. Torn between love and obligation, Randall soon realises that he can’t satisfy both. He’ll have to choose, but the cost may well be more terrible than he can imagine. COVER ARTIST: Cover Design by Amelia Faulkner and Jen Fowler PUBLISHER: Ravensword Press YEAR: 2015 LENGTH: 268...

Early September Reviews (2024)

Greetings

Welcome to the Books That Burn Fortnightly Roundup! Releasing every two weeks (one week early for Patrons).

My plan is to resume a more regular review schedule when I finish re-reading October Daye and writing the final two essays in the five-essay series about October Daye by Seanan McGuire and Inheritance by A.K. Faulkner.

News and Events

I track upcoming book releases by authors we've previously covered on a shareable google calendar.

Notable SEPTEMBER Releases:

  • Compound Fracture by Andrew Joseph White

  • A Dark and Drowning Tide by Allison Saft

Recent Reviews

COMPOUND FRACTURE by Andrew Joseph White is Thriller, with queer character(s), marketed as Young Adult. Miles survives being beaten nearly to death, then accidentally kills one of his attackers. Told in First Person with Single POV.

SPELLS OF SUMMER by A.K. Faulkner, book 8 of Inheritance is Fantasy/Romance, with queer character(s), marketed as Adult. Freddy does a favor for Myriam and ends up trapped. Told in Third Person with Ensemble POVs.

Rereads and Older Reviews

The re-reads of Inheritance and October Daye are going swimmingly, I’ll get to enjoy the audiobook of Wheel of Fate this time around, and I’m in the middle of The Unkindest Tide for October Daye.

Songs and Playlists

Sometimes I make book playlists, either chronological or character-vibes. You can find all of those here.

This fortnight’s featured playlist is: KNIGHT OF FLAMES

In Case You Missed It

This time last year I read WITCH KING by Martha Wells.
