Avery Hood's parents suffered a gruesome death - and she was there. But she doesn't remember anything about that horrifying night. Living with her grandmother, she learns the world is full of secrets. When she meets Ben, she realizes he's different. And something evil is trying to get to her. Ben helps her find out just what happened that night and her memory slowly comes back. But does she remember in time?
This book was a little weird for me. I read it all in one sitting, but several times I found myself looking up and thinking that I wasn't sure if I was enjoying the book or not. But now that I'm done with it, I really did enjoy it.
It was hard to get into at first. The writing seemed a little choppy, like it didn't flow that well. Then I got used to it and didn't notice it at all. At the same time, it was very easy to picture in my head. I could see it being made into an action/horror movie and I think it would translate well. And the ending, well, let's just say that I didn't figure it out until only a couple of pages before Avery did (which is a good thing - I like being surprised).
The characters themselves were good. I liked Avery and Renee. There is definitely more about Renee that I want to know about. And Ben was okay, but I have to say that I didn't really like their instant connection. It was too fast for me, even knowing that they're bonded.
That being said, there has to be a sequel! I am left wanting to know so much more! Like I said before, I want to know more about Renee. I want to know WHY Ben and Avery are bonded. I want to know more about Avery's power. And I want to know just what is coming! Please let there be a sequel!

Reminiscent of the Twilight series, Ivy Devlin brings a new work to the paranormal world of warewolves and hopelessly condemned love with her novel Low Red Moon. Avery was the sole witness to the brutal murder of her parents, but the experience was so traumatic, her mind has blocked most of it out! She is the only key to finding out who really killed her parentsand others living nearbyand that person (or thing) will stop at nothing to stop herunless they cant remember either!!
The writing in this book was fascinating. You can feel the deep emotion involved: grief, fear, passion. You feel disjointed and lostalmost as if you yourself have personally undergone severe loss and trauma. The style of writing has you feeling as if theres something trying to come into the perimeters of your vision and consciousness, but it never quite makes it out into the open. We are trying to rack our memory right along with Avery as she tries to solve the murder.
There were some pretty interesting twists and turns along the way! I admit to being surprised at the outcome! AndReader Beware!while there is a decent amount of closure, there is definitely a wide opening for a sequel! Engrossing and fast paced, Low Red Moon will keep you up at nights long after youve finished the last page! Overall rating is 4 out of 5 stars!
