After reading/listening to Robin P. Waldrop's first two books I couldn't wait to read this book. I didn't even know it was out. I would't have known or found that this book was out if weren't for GoodReads. I contacted the author and she sent me a copy for free for an honest interview.

I didn't just enjoy the first book but I loved it. The second book was enjoyable but I didn't connect with it as I did with the first book. I enjoyed the second book as I mentioned above. I always find the first book to be better than the second book. I know, I'm not here to discuss these books, I'm here to give my review on the third book.

Robin, Robin, wow, you have done it again. You have blown me away. I not only enjoyed it but I loved it. Robin has yet to disappoint. I thought this was the last book, making it a trilogy, NOT! To my surprise I learned there will be a fourth book. I'm definitely ok with that, more than ok. I'm extremely happy that there will be a fourth book.

I absolutely loved this story. From the beginning to the very end it was non-stop action. With this story there's no way to get bored. With every page I found something new. This book continuously surprised me. Evertime I thought I had things figured out I got slammed with something different. I would discover I was wrong, again. I usually can figure a story out and predict what will happen next but not with Robin's stories. She knows exactly how to keep your attention.

I was desperate for this book after reading the first two books. I'm extremely desperate and in great need now for the fourth book. I can do without the evil Guinevere. I can't stand her. I have a sick feeling she will play a huge role in the fourth book. I hope Robin will prove me wrong about Guinevere. After all Robin continues to prove me wrong so for once I will be happy if she does.

I really hope the fourth book gets here and fast. I usually don't mind the wait but I am eager to read the fourth book. This is by far the best YA book that I've ever read, when I say that, I'm saying a lot, trust me. Robin has so much talent and a vivid imagination. I honestly believe she can write anything and I would find myself immersed in it and begging it to never end.

I also want to let people know that I received a copy to read by the author Robin P. Waldrop. She's a wonderful woman. She's down to earth and I really like her. I consider her my friend. I got this story from my friend Robin :-) I love it Robin and don't forget Audible and I will be waiting to listen to the book along with any other books you write. LOL.

**I was given this book in exchange for an honest review (Lovers of Paranormal).**

FINALLY! I feel like I've been waiting forever for this book to come out, and Robin Waldrop has yet to disappoint.

I will be honest, I thought it was going to be a trilogy, so I was prepared to finish it with this book. When I hit those final pages...not going to lie my first thoughts were pure anger, followed by a few "how could you do this to me, Robin Waldrop" because I mean how could she just end it like that! Silly me, it has always been one of my flaws to jump to conclusions and thank goodness I kept scrolling and saw it wasn't yet over!!!!!!! YES! More, please :)

I have to admit, I really start to hate love triangles because I get so invested in one boy (Will) and then the author goes and brings in another boy (Peter) who I'm convinced I will dislike and who can't possibly persuade me because I am so loyal to boy 1....and then they always seem to swoop in...and confuse me (gee I know exactly how Genevieve feels now!)...I couldn't help it, I started to like Peter TOOOO!!! Then the next fear jumps in, how can this end?! So I'll be on the edge of my seat during the last book and hopefully Robin continues with her awesomeness and brings great things.

I loved this story though, it was nonstop action from the start and I was NEVER bored. Another awesome thing too was how it always kept surprising me, I thought I knew what would happen next, then BAM the exact opposite happens or something comes out of nowhere and it's nothing what I imagined...yeah she had my attention all right.

I can't wait for more, yet I can't stand Guinevere, so not looking forward to hearing more from her and I just want a happy ending darnit, is that so hard to ask?! ;) <3

LOVED IT!

5 stars again :)

I feel like I have been waiting forever for this book, even though in reality it has only been a few months. After reading the second book, I was a bit overzealous/crazy in need for this book! I had to know what happened to Gen and William. This book was definitely worth the wait as I thrust myself back into the paranormal world of vampires and werewolves.

This book had a little more downtime than the other two, but still had far more action than I'm used to! Of course, you can't always expect nonstop action. Even fictional characters need a breather here and there, mostly when they're being held captive by vampires with delusions of grandeur.

This is definitely another great installment to the series, and now I'm back to waiting! I want book four now!

Note: I received a free copy of this book for honest review.

This is the third book in Robin P. Waldrop's BLOOD MOON series, and in my personal opinion, the most intriguing and spine-tingling of all. Gen meets new friends, finds old enemies, and rushes to save werewolves, vampires, Rafes, and humans from the evil Laszlo is certain to bring should he get his way and indulge in Genevieve's blood on the night the Blood Moon rises.

Gen's matured since her days in Ties to the Blood Moon and she no longer just sits around waiting on someone to save her. She found her leverage and it's huge, something I never saw coming, and let me just be honest here... I've spent nearly as much time looking at these books as Robin has, and she still manages to pull an OMG and WTF from me. Seriously! And I have to say, this, of all Robin's twists and turns, has to be my personal favorite. It brings the tension to a whole new level.

We find out that people aren't who we thought they were, and that while all the lore rings true, there are ways around it. Twins of evil people show up and turn out to be pretty good peeps, twins of heroes prove to be traitors. It's a hell of a brain twister.

Robin throws plenty of shock and awe in the last few chapters. Her fight scenes are well written and gave me the chills when I read them. The romance finally comes to a head and we see what finally happens between Gen and William. Do they make it, or has the stress and the miles between them just been too much? This one I'll give no hints on, you must read.

And one last note, to anyone who compared Ties of the Blood Moon to Twilight, just keep reading, because Ms. Waldrop takes a swift and mighty turn that will leave you certain you have not just read another book about vampires and werewolves.

I was given this book in exchange for a fair review by LoP in GoodReads.

This is one of the best YA fantasy books I've read this year. Despite the fact I haven't finished reading the first two books in this series, it didn't make this one hard to fathom. It differs itself from the common genre about supernatural beings, particularly werewolves and vampires by elaborating and adding more intricate facts you wouldn’t find in any other books. I just don’t like the heroine being so over dramatic beyond what a normal teenager naturally acts but overall the characters are carefully created that makes them all valuable to the story as it progresses. There are also some minor proofreading that needs to be done since there are quite a few gaps with the story line. (Sorry I can’t help not to notice :))

I would highly recommend this book to anyone who love romantic/fantasy story but adamant to read one since most of it treads on the same story lines. Crest of the Blood Moon differs itself by being able to stand on its own and by creating an all-new different concept. It doesn’t follow the common road every werewolf/vampire novels does which makes our eyes roll most of the time. I can't hardly wait for the next book in this series and I’ll make sure this time I’ve read the first two books before starting.

I got this book from the author, free of cost, in exchange of an honest review from my side!

Firstly I would like to thank Robin P. Waldrop, author of Crest of the Blood Moon and also Lovers of Paranormal group in 'Goodreads' for giving me this great opportunity of reading and reviewing this fantastic book.

I loved the story and it was really captivating and totally awesome. It is really a page-turner and you'll find yourself going on and on till you finish it up in just one sitting, it's totally unputdownable!

I adored the heroine as she is brave, confident and compassionate and the new and fresh take on the same old vampire/werewolf genre really geared up the story and sucked me in from the very first page.

I didn't read the first two books in this series so at first I thought that the 3rd book wouldn't make any sense to me but I was totally proved wrong by the author's fine and enriched writing and descriptive skills and I didn't even felt it confusing at any time and story kept it's firm hold on my interest and attention till the last page.

All in all a great YA story and you would really thank me in the end for this recommendation (well, I guess!). So grab your copy and enjoy this fabulous story and wait impatiently for the fourth and final book in this series as I'm doing right now! Ugh!

I was giving this book for an honest review by R2R (LoP)

I was not aware that this was book was the third in a series.
It kind of had me at disadvantage since I did not know the back story.
However, to me it was fairly easy to get into it.
Now I wont go and read book one and two (simply because I know already what happened in the third book, I just don't like to read a series from the beginning when I know the end), but I am looking forward to the fourth one,
I liked the story and I liked where it took me.
I thought the heroine brave, also a bit over dramatic, but that is just fine. Being that it's a YA book.
To me, the writing was great it had everything I was looking for in a book.

[Ann Marie · Rating 5 out of 5]

All I can say is wow. After months of waiting for this book to come out I couldn't put it down. I love all the twists and turns and the action is non stop. The added back story kept the pages turning. As with the first two books in the series, the story is engaging and leaves you wanting more. I was delightfully surprised to see there was a fourth a final book of the series. Of course I hope we don't have to wait as long for the last book, but I know the wait will well be worth it. I can't wait for the story to continue and will be sad to see the series end.

I was given this book in exchange for an honest review for LoP

It was very interesting, not having reading book two it was very confusing at the beginning but the plot was cool and nice, I liekd it very much and waooo with the evil twin and the other things XD

it was very entertaining to read and couldnt really keep from turning the pages one after the other.

good supernatural romance and drama novel =)

[cajunqueen · Rating 4 out of 5]

This book was great simply because it was not your same ole paranormal concept. I like it simply for that one reason. I would recommend this book.

I did hurry thru book 1 as I saw this was a book 2. This book picked up smooth and evenly from where it left off in books 1.

Overall, I would recommend this series in general.

[Nicole · Rating 4 out of 5]

Oh, the twists and turns Robin has given us in the third installment of the Blood Moon series! I cannot wait for the fourth book. Each twist keeps you turning the page and reluctant to put the book down at all. I recommend this book, absolutely.
