Andrew Moore #1
Warlock's Son
Andrew Stewart was having a bad morning. His girlfriend, the love of his life, dumped him, he has a hangover, and then some people attack him. Bad morning really doesn’t do it justice.
He’s just a college student, with no idea what’s going on, or that magic and the supernatural is real, and very deadly. He’s been targeted by his father’s enemies. Enemies which he had no idea even existed.
He doesn’t even know his father’s name, or what he truly is, but he’d better figure it out quick. He’s a hidden heir, a warlock, a Moore warlock, and someone wants him dead.
Mature Content Warning! This is an Erotic suburban fantasy with some MF and FF sex scenes. If that isn't your cup of tea, don't buy this book.
Note: This story is told in multiple POV, mostly Andrew in first person, everyone else third.

I loved computers, and I read books voraciously.
I've been working in the computer industry for twenty years, and have continued to read a large number of books. On a whim, I started writing erotic short stories online, and to my surprise they were always highly rated, and more than that, I found I loved to write. Since then I have worked at improving my writing, and started publishing on Amazon.

An interesting story, a well deserved expansion of the Shawn Moore books world. I couldn't help but draw some parallels, but the experience of the author shines in here by making things better and more accommodatingly.

I was very leery of purchasing this book. Indie self-published authors are a mixed bag on Amazon. There are some very good authors that are lost in the midst of a bunch of money grabbing authors producing novella length Kindle Unlimited turkeys trying to pass their “book” off as something that is both great to read and worth the price.
Regrettably the KU business model is to pack as much sex and violence into the Amazon preview encouraging the suckers to delve further into the novella that is little more than word porn and fap material.
I expected Warlock's Son (Andrew Moore, #1) by D.R. Rosier to follow in the same vein as other KU turkey-writing indie authors. I was pleasantly surprised that the Amazon preview, while a bit shorter and less information filled than I would have liked, still aroused my interest enough that I purchased the book.
I have not read the previous trilogy, which I understand focuses on Andrew’s father. Depending on how this trilogy (yes – I bought all three books) I might go back and read the books about Andrew’ father.
The author writes well and is obviously an accomplished writer by the standards of most authors. Rosier’s dialogue is smooth and I never once lost track of who was talking to whom. Dialogue is important in an erotic supernatural, paranormal urban fantasy and Rosier does a good job of keeping the flavor of each character.
The action is fast and well written, if late coming in the book. I would have liked to have seen more of the great cat lycanthropes than what has so far been revealed. Of all the lycanthrope species, the great cats are my favorite, perhaps because I hate Twilight so much that it soured me on werewolves forever.
The sex is graphically well-written and erotic so if you are adverse to MFF threesomes, with FF action and less than traditional non-safe sexual practices, you might want to skip this book. The author walks a fine line between word porn and an erotic urban fantasy.
The main characters are fairly well described with enough back story and information to get me invested enough that I care what happens to them. Of all of the women in Andrew’s bed so far Katia is my favorite, even though she is the least and shallowest described character.
The beginning is a little slow, and dragged because there was little to no action and was all plot development. The author needs to apply the principle of Chekhov’s gun a bit more liberally then he has so far.
I found it odd, unsettling and unusual that Andrew’s mother just dumped on him and then left his life never to be seen again. Most mothers, especially one that Andrew said raised him lovingly on her own would not just walk away from their child. Andrew’s mother’s situation as described by the author made her disappearance an author-driven plot device that I felt was not what Andrew’s mother would do. Perhaps Andrew’s mother returns in later books in this series.
Andrew’s hero complex is irritating but considering the story arc understandable. I thought that Andrew got over getting shafted by Lillian awful quick because he was thinking with his dick not his brain. Andrew thinks a lot with his dick through this book not always a bad thing.
Mercy is the luxury of the strong and Andrew is not nearly strong enough to be granting mercy. By pairing with a pride of decimated large cat shifters, Andrew allies himself with a group that he does not need. He should have gone for the snakes, bears or wolves, but they wouldn’t make as hot of bed companions.
Ultimately, the book was decent enough that I purchased the whole series, and am considering getting the first trilogy about Andrew’s father as well. I had to suspend belief a little in this book, but not as much as some other urban fantasies. Perhaps what sold me the most is these books are set near where I live and describe familiar settings.

Not quite as good as the first series Shawn Moore but it was still pretty good. The format is somewhat the same except that this time Andrew Moore starts out with a lot less. Andrew is one of Shawns heirs who has been hidden in chicago for 21 years. Shawn has multiple children hidden everywhere in order to protect his line. Andrew is discovered but instead of being killed, Lilith the fallen angel succubus comes up with a plan to make Andrew her warlock and steal him away from her sister. She makes a deal with Andrew that severs his link with Lilith's sister and makes Andrew hers. The biggest difference between the first series and this series is that the Shawn Moore line had been established in Chicago for a long time, so when Shawn became a warlock, he already had a protector and everything already set up. Andrew on the other hand has almost nothing. He need to find his own protector and make all his deals from scratch. The other big difference is that Shawn had no one in his life before becoming a warlock, but Andrew had a woman that he loved for 2 years and that caused a lot of friction in the story. Still, the Shawn Moore storyline was complete so this was the only way to continue with this world.

A good book.
I enjoyed this book it is like many of his series in the way it is written. It is enjoyable and engaging with good characters.

Same world, same mechanics, same family line as the previous trilogy.
Andrew is one of Shawn's secret heirs, and shares many of the same characteristics.
Unfortunately, I disliked Andrew and don't respect him as a person. While Shawn had certain mental hangups, essentially a hero complex sort of conscious that thought with his dick, Andrew's was less palatable. Andrew's bordered stupidity.
Examples Generalized to prevent spoilers
1. Majorly lied to and fucked over. He got over this almost immediately. He should have at least tried to renegotiate for better terms after this. Instead he thought with his dick.
2. Pact betrayed. Even if he did not want to call in the Pact he should at least have considered the issues this caused. A leader that cannot keep their subordinates in line makes a poor ally. Not to mention failing to enforce a Pact or even react to it is a really bad idea for a new Warlock. It makes you look like a chump. Mercy is the luxury of the strong.
3. He is considering making a much larger commitment to his "Allies" than necessary. The commitment would be an ongoing obligation and not benefit him at all. This should at least have been considered as a Pact / deal especially since the other side is not trustworthy. A one time gift is one thing, this is a much larger obligation that will paint a target on his back.
4. His love life and constant guilt.
Ultimately, "hero-complex" individuals often straddle the line between good and stupidity. In this case Andrew fell on the stupid side.

Welcome Back Warlock
One of Shawn Moore's sons has surfaced as a Warlock. If you liked the original Warlock series you will not be disappointed with the Andrew Moore series. As in the previous series there are several adult situations, in detail. I would prefer less descriptive sex and more about the supernatural world D R Rosier has created, there is so much potential there. I am looking forward to reading more about the many characters and unlimited action this series can produce. Book two is on pre-order.

After reading a bunch of these in a short period of time (short books) I realize several years late that I needed an "urban fantasy" shelf here.
As for this book: sufficiently different to count as a new series and a decent pulp read. If you liked the Shawn Moore books these should be in your strike zone. One thing though: PLEASE learn that "your" is possessive (i.e. belonging to the person) while "you're" is the contraction for "you are".

Total crap
Recap.
A succubus tricks you into selling it your soul after sending fake assassins after you and using mind control to sabotage your stable and loving relationship. After you learn about this what do you do? Forgive her after about 5 minutes and some cowgirl, apparently. Unbelievable, and beyond any measure of suspension of disbelief.

An interesting book
Having read many books similar, I must admit that this book flowed well I'm the telling of the story and prepping for the next book. I enjoyed the characters can't wait to see final outcome. 5*'s

Definitely adult
4 stars, if the actual story was developed a little more, I would have given 5. The erotic tones were great, no complaints there, but I thought a lot left on table.

Enjoyable.
I've read most of Rosiers books and enjoyed them all.
It is stated in the description that it is erotica and it is but, let's just say 1/4 story, 3/4 erotica. It's a very short story turned into a longer sorry by erotica.
