The Dread Moon (Lilith Mercury Werewolf Hunter) Tracey H Kitts
Well, book three in the Lilith Mercury series is now out and it is a great follow on from books one and two with some sad experiences for poor Lilith and some great steamy sex scenes for her too.
Lilith's reputation has spread, she's become head of H.A.V.O.C. and the vampires want her to trace the Original vampire – the one from whom they were all created. No one has seen him for a while but they want him to spear head their campaign for recognition as Marco did for the Werewolves. Lilith finds him – and finds he's more than she bargained for!
The book carries the following warning from the author: This book contains graphic violence, graphic language, and sex with BDSM (how odd – my spellcheck wants to replace this with Batsman – could be worse, could suggest Batman!!) elements including auto-erotic asphyxiation. Personally I enjoyed all the scenes and feel they fit well within the story, but for those who may be offended take note of the warning :) Tracey writes these scenes well, its not just a quick “wham bam thank you ma'am” but a very descriptive process slowly built up and drawn out over many pages.
I really felt for poor Lilith when she was devastated to find out about someone close to her had betrayed her on such a way, her emotions over it were very real and I felt close to tears myself...but then the consolation was so so delectable – and of course there's the yummy Marco still hanging out waiting for Lilith. Marco is a real treat – loyal and loving and so understanding of Liliths position. He's opened a new club in this book – its called The Dread Moon of course – and quite a few major plots revolve around it.
As usual by now from Tracey little clues to later parts are laid throughout the book and the action carries through really well. Its always clear what’s happening and why, no strange odd parts or blanks in the plots, so the reader can crack on with just enjoying a great story. Of course now I want to read next book – tracey leaves clues to what’s coming next but thankfully is not one of those authors who leave a book on a huge cliffhanger – I HATE those type of endings and find they really put me off buying a series. As Tracey is gradually revamping (!!) these books from the original I'm hoping next one doesn't take too long :) waiting for a sequel is always soo soo frustrating for readers.
At 484 KB (close to 300 pages I think) for just £1.92 its excellent value for money, and as with the first two books it's well edited with few errors. I really enjoyed it and look forward to continuing reading more of the series as they are released.
Stars; five – again an excellent book and I simply can't fault it – I was gripped in the story from start to finish and am desperate to read more of Lilith's story.
