Now onto the review:
Ivy Cole And The Moon By Gina Farago
Paperback, 384 pages
Read: Feb. 5 - Feb. 7
Rating: 3/5
Genres: Horror, Fantasy, Romance
Summery: "Sometimes there are folks in this world who deserve a good killin'..." Ivy Cole has returned home to Doe Springs, North Carolina, a quiet community in the Blue Ridge Mountains, imbued with a special gift - one that erupts howling on full-moon nights, and serves as judge, jury, and executioner for those who warrant a violet end. But Something else has returned as well. Cruel and hungry, it stalks the innocent and is closing in on everyone Ivy loves. Now, as terror rises like the moon over the Appalachian peaks, the beasts within are coming out... and the good souls of Doe Springs are praying for dawn.
Review: As you can probably guess, this story involves werewolves. The story begins with a non graphic murder prologue, four human deaths and multiple animal deaths in only one year have started to not only scare the people of quiet Doe Springs, but have started gossip of many folklore. Enter Ivy Cole who moved to Doe Springs a year ago, and her house is located close to the latest victim, making the Sheriff, and her 2 deputies, think she might be a suspect this leads to many different theories, suspicions and folklore stories. I loved the a few of the theories, Especially from Deputy Sanders. I also love the history on wolves, werewolves and possible "Werewolves", and while I really liked about 240 pages of this book around page 246 it stared to dim for me, I liked a lot of the characters, there were a few i really disliked, and while i really liked Ivy 'till about Chapter 48, Part 4, her behavior/thoughts started to become a little annoying, and were a switch from what they were just before then. It just seemed to start really strong. The writing was good there was no sex scenes, which i really appreciated, but the ending of Part 4 through to the Epilogue just seemed to go down hill for me. I liked the romance it wasn't over-baring or too subtle, It was enjoyable, and I did like the characters for the most part (my favorite was Doc Hill.). It was enjoyable, but not a favorite.
Hope everybody had/has a good day : )
