Scarlet Moon

---

Warren F Disbrow represents the reason independent film continues to thrive. Outside the mindless mainstream of demographically determined movie-making, he is a man who plays by his own arcane rules and puts his own unique stamp on even the most tired of terror tenets. And if that's not the definition of 'auteur', it's hard to imagine what is. Imagine what he could do with an actual mainstream budget. Visit Prime Video to explore more titles.

Love, because the overarching theme of this book seems to be that Love conquers all , especially Fear and Evil. She does have that little love triangle thing going on, but it's not so much a plot as a distraction.

But Love here, in the more agape than eros kind, takes front stage centre, and makes every one do stupid things. Ryan, for instance, has to choose between his desire to protect h Grimm throws you right into the action in Scarlet Moon, an action-packed story of love, heroism and revenge. Ryan, for instance, has to choose between his desire to protect his family or his beloved. Logan cannot face or confront his absconded wife. Ethan will protect Jayden at all costs. And Jayden, poor, stupid, heroic, annoying Jayden I love her but boy, does she need a slap upside the head , is set on running away from everyone who would protect her because she loves them too much.

Or running to put herself between them and danger even when she cannot do anything to save them and actually, if she ran away, they could sort of save themselves? Which brings me to heroism. There's noble heroics see: Ethan , there's reluctant heroics see: I don't really know where Ryan fits in this. He's fighting to stay alive for at least half of this story, though he does get some heroic action towards the end. Anyway, Jayden is one of the prophesied Deliverers but she is inclined to stupid, short-sighted heroics where she frequently messes up escape plans because of her inability to actually run away when she needs to.

I know, I know, it adds to the tension and the plot, but you'd think she'd learn after the second time or so. Then there is revenge. Personal vendettas break from their confines every once in a while, with all the lovely tragic backstories making their appearances sorry, I'm a sucker for tragic heroes , and whilst some of these get pushed aside momentarily to deal with current circumstances, you just know it's going to rear its head sometime in the future. Or in other shorter words, several characters have difficulty staying on course because they have a thirst for revenge.

Scarlet Moon is a thrilling read for fantasy lovers. I received a free copy of this book via Unicorn Questor for an upcoming blog tour. I was given the book with no expectation of a positive review and the review is my own. Sep 24, Natalie rated it did not like it. Got a quarter of the way through and couldn't deal with it anymore when I was introduced to yet another POV with little explanation about who any of the people are. I'm a quarter of the way through and I haven't been told anything about the world, or what makes the people that are being hunted special.

It jumps all over the place, one minute Jayden is training with her family, and I swear the next sentence she was on a horse and they were taking her to marry her off to some guy. T Nope nope nope. There was no indication that this was the type of world where that happens. It could have been a modern setting for all I knew, but I'm having to guess because you aren't told that it's an old time fantasy world. I'm, again, guessing that some people have powers in this world, and that's why they're being hunted.

Not that you really see any of these you just have to believe what little you're told. About 5 characters were introduced per chapter with no information about who they are, and why I should care about them. So I didn't care about them. Loads of terms for stuff in this world were just thrown about with not even a subtle amount of back story. Not reading this won't be much of a miss because people with powers being hunted isn't exactly an original idea and I'll just reread the ten other books I've read on this story.

Sep 14, Cassia Schaar rated it really liked it Shelves: If only school didn't make reading take so long! I really liked this book. The beginning was especially well written and hooked me--i read the first half in a single day and whenever i got the chance between classes i would sneak chapters. There's a huge array of formidable villains, a cast of loveable heroes, and a world of really unique renditions of creatures. Super pumped for Amber Eyes especially now knowing what the title is referencing ;. Jul 13, Victoria Howell rated it really liked it.

I love all of the different talents and the animal bonding. Dec 15, Paula Vince rated it liked it Shelves: Strong fantasy isn't usually my first choice of genre, but I was requested to read this and it's quite a fascinating story once we grasp it. It's not the easiest plot to latch onto at the beginning. The story is told in third person with five alternating points of view, so initially we are shuttled from one perspective to another without knowing what's going on.

Since the characters themselves aren't even clear about the happenings elsewhere in their realm, it stands to reason that the reader won Strong fantasy isn't usually my first choice of genre, but I was requested to read this and it's quite a fascinating story once we grasp it. Since the characters themselves aren't even clear about the happenings elsewhere in their realm, it stands to reason that the reader won't be either, until enough time has passed that we begin picking up the threads of the fast moving story, with its deception, violence, loyalty and adventure.

There are several main characters but foremost is Jayden. The story starts when her beloved parents and brothers are slaughtered trying to protect her from aggressive soldiers who attempt to abduct her. Jayden was a child born on the night of the Blood Moon. These young people have distinct, identifying birthmarks and unique skills that set them apart from others. Evidence seems to indicate that the Feravolk people are behind the attacks, giving her good reason to hate them. Jayden's fiance, Ryan, is seriously injured with a poisonous arrow as he helps her escape, setting her off on a quest to save his life.

It's vital to get hold of a specific rare herb which only grows in the Valley of Hidden Ones, where she and her friends must contend with dangerous animals, including unicorns. They are also forced into the proximity of the corrupt queen's royal army, who really are responsible for the attacks on Blood Moon children. Jayden's companions include her protector, Logan, who happens to belong to the Feravolk, and his wolf companion Westwind. For those who enjoy lovers' triangles, there are emotional moments when Ryan's brother Ethan joins them, especially since he is a dashing and heroic main character himself.

Jayden has always known she's never felt passionately in love with his brother, so the stage is set for tension. The monarch, Idla, deserves to take her place in the ranks of literary evil queens. She has her own selfish reasons for wanting to get hold of all the Blood Moon children, and sneaky ways of setting about it. Other members of her court include Franco, her despicable son, Oswell, her chief advisor, and assassins Thea and Kara, the 'Destruction Sisters'. Logan's wife Rebekah is also forced into the queen's service, along with their son Connor, for reasons the reader has to discover.

There is a dark fairy tale feeling about Soleden, the setting, and the characters are endearing with lively dialogue and heroic perseverance. This book is almost pages long and there are sequels coming, so readers who enjoy long, epic fantasy adventures should be well satisfied. However, others may find it a challenge, trying to make sense of a world we don't understand, and being forced into the head spaces of people who do. Thanks to Net Galley and Enclave Publishing for my review copy.

I really enjoyed this epic fantasy by S. D Grimm and I definitely encourage reading this book, but I do warn that perhaps it would be best to wait till the second book comes out before doing so because of the particularly intense ending of this book. When I first started reading this book, I was a little confused when characters kept popping out of seemingly nowhere and I think that I w Oh, wow, I cannot express how much I loved this book!

When I first started reading this book, I was a little confused when characters kept popping out of seemingly nowhere and I think that I would have been better able to understand the characters and the beginning of the story if there had been a character list of some sort. But once I got to know the characters a little better I came to like them so much that the confusion that I had at first had was quickly forgotten.

There was a bit of violence in this book- lots of blood. And the ending… yeah the ending stopped my heart, ripped it out of my chest, and left me wondering Say what now? But I highly encourage reading all the way to the end of the book before you throw the book against the wall and storm to your computer to give the book a one star rating like I was getting ready to do- there is an epilogue thank heavens!

I have to warn that this book ends on a cliffhanger- and quite an intense one for me too, and I cannot wait until the second book comes out. I was not required to post a positive review and all views expressed are my own. Oct 07, Avily Jerome rated it really liked it. I love this story so much! Great world, great characters, great set-up for the next book! This is an amazing adventure you won't want to miss! Mar 10, Lisa Johnson rated it really liked it. Gilead Publishing My rating is 4 out of 5 stars. The story begins with Jayden, a young girl expecting to be married, but the day before her wedding, Feravolk come into her village and destroy her home and kill her family.

Now, she is on the run with only one ally left, her betrothed Ryan who was wounded by a poisoned arrow as they escaped from the Feravolk. While on the run she meets new allies and Title: While on the run she meets new allies and discovers that the evil queen Idla is hunting the children born on the night of the Blood Moon for the prophesied deliverers that will come and destroy the queen and free the land of her evil.

Will love protect her? Will the talents she has been gifted with help her save her people? Jayden may be one of the prophesied deliverers, but what chance does she have when she is full of doubt about herself, about others, her talents, and about love? I would recommend this book to others because it is a good fantasy story full of adventures, heart-stopping moments, twists in the plot, and memorable characters.

It has a few interesting themes and situations that create conflict in the book. One of themes in the book seems to be people connected to the land magically. One of the situations that occur in the story is that the main character falls for two men: The situation of a love triangle appears to be evident in the story which is meant to create further conflict in the story.

Not so, dear reader. It was a steaming cup of homebrewed, double-spiced chai with dark chocolate on the side. If you love swords, wolves, magic, and a hefty dose of awesome characters, well, snuggle up to the fireplace, my friend. This cozy read will hit everything you Classic, addicting fantasy where magic bonds animals to reluctant heroes born under the blood moon.

Scarlet Moon de Chevalier - Wikipedia

This cozy read will hit everything you love about the fantasy genre, while still being a unique and page-turning adventure. Evil is slipping through the cracks of its prison, and all Soleden trembles in its wake. Yet some would harness that evil to their own ends, and first among them is Idla, the sorceress queen bent on distorting the world. Only one can stand in her way: Upon realizing her mark as the prophesied Deliverer, Jayden conceals herself from her enemies and her Feravolk countrymen.

Hiding her mark was never easy, but now that Jayden knows both Queen Idla and the Feravolk are after her, hiding her gift of the Blood Moon will be impossible. Ryan and Ethan are both swoon-worthy heroes trying to protect the main character, Jayden—and they both have a claim on her heart.

But this is far from your run-of-the-mill, eye-rolling groan fest of a love triangle. There's nothing immature or unrealistic about it. And I'm super picky, y'all. Normally I pick a team from page one. Yes, there's action and a side of delicious romance, but nary a curse word or inappropriate scene to be found. Spoilers prevent me from saying anything, but trust me— the feels. There's plenty of unique aspects of the story to turn any cliche on its head, so I thoroughly enjoyed the book regardless. I mean, is it even possible to write a story without any tropes nowadays?

The main character, Jayden, does some stupid things that had me white-knuckling the book and trying to yell at her through the pages. But honestly, if characters never made any headstrong decisions and sat on the couch with a bag of Doritos all day, it wouldn't make for good stories, hmm?

I get the strong feeling that Jayden will learn from her mistakes and mature as a character throughout the series. Which is exactly what I love, so I'm totally willing to make the investment for an enrapturing end. Characters are injured and killed, and one injury is particularly nasty. But it's pretty much what you'd expect from an adventure novel where the main character is wielding daggers on the cover.

I liked her right from the start and grew to understand her better as the story progressed. She is a likable main character with her own strengths and weaknesses. As the story progresses, we are introduced to a whole lot of main characters, Ryan, Ethan, Logan and Anna among others. I liked all the boys. They all had that chivalrous, rebellious and protective streak in them that bode well for the story. I like it when books give me likable minor characters too. This book did that. Characters like Kinsey, Wren and Chloe add a nice three dimensional character to the story.

I also like it when there is more than a single villain in the book. A single villain or a single problem makes things predictable. This novel shows that evil could be everywhere and in life you don't just face a single enemy. PLOT I liked the plot. True it contained a fair share of tropes but they played themselves out in an impressive manner. I liked how the many subplots come together into a single huge plot.

As the story starts out, the readers have many questions which are answered by the end but sure enough, a number of other questions have popped up by then. The author knows how to create suspense and thrill in the story. OK now i can't wait to know what happens next. The only complaint I have is of the third person view jumping to different characters throughout the story. It distracts the imagery and derails the scenes that form in my head as I read.

But after a while I got used to it and it distracted me no more. This is for the true fantasy readers who like an entirely different world and setting. I quite like the old time fantasy setting of the world in Scarlet Moon. Eagerly waiting to know what happens next! Dec 21, Sarah Elizabeth rated it really liked it. By far, this is one of the best, clean, warrior, fantasy novels I've read in a long time.

I loved the characters, the story world, and the plot was quite gripping. There's huge value given to the love of family, the loyalty of friends, and the importance of one's choices in following what they call their "Destiny Path. Of the four, three of them are C By far, this is one of the best, clean, warrior, fantasy novels I've read in a long time.

Of the four, three of them are Children of the Blood Moon -- simply put, this means they were born the night of a Blood Moon, which marked them for life and gifted them with various talents. Among the Children, four are destined to be Deliverers, and are prophesied to deliver the realm of Soleden from the hands of the wicked Queen Idla, and ultimately the Mistress of Shadows. I could go on, but I think I'd rather you just read for yourself. I will add this, however, while I greatly enjoyed the characters, the story itself, and the fantasy of it all, I began to grow tired of the constant skirmishes and sword-fights.

Almost to the point where there were so many in such a short amount of time, I found myself skimming through much of the description.

Friends of Kings Park

However, don't let that stop you from adding this to your TBR list! This is simply my opinion, and I enjoyed the tale regardless.

I've just finished the book and I'm speechless. Honestly, I don't even know what to say. The first few chapters are a bit confusing, you're introduced to 5 different points of view, and it gets a bit annoying because you don't really care about any character, yet, and you're being pushed into their minds.

But has life would have it, I love that about the book. I love how you can see inside of everyone's head, that makes the book so much intimate. You feel their hate, their love, their strength. Yo I've just finished the book and I'm speechless. You don't fall for what others think of them, you fall for their thoughts. But you know them! Normally you lose characters in the beginning of the book but it doesn't affect you, because you don't know them, you're not fond of them. D Grimm, makes you love them! She makes you suffer within words.

Then the same happens with Ryan and Ethan. They were amazingly built. But they are all amazing.

Scarlet Moon

Their development throughout the story is also amazing. Even though it seems a bit out of place sometimes, it's all the author playing mind games and it has an explanation. You know when you're reading and you get the feeling things aren't going in a good direction? Well with Scarlet Moon, the author tells you things aren't going in a good direction. But what does she do? Makes you ship it. People are going to die. You know that, your character is thinking that? What does the author make you cling to? Because, they'll be alright, right? They can't die, I love them to much.

But I really like that. It's different, normally an author would try to hide to make you want to read, but this one just tells you plain and simple and that's, surprisingly, more fascinating. I just can't express enough how much I loved this book. I was really needing a book that made me fall in love after reading so many, that although good, didn't really get to me the way a book should. But this one did, it really struck my heart and made me not want to finish even though I was eager to find out the end. And now i'm left crying because ajhfsogs ogusgousghsjgsfsjbfsgkbskhfaohrfagbnmbfoasg.

I apologise for my lack of professionalism, I'm just to emotional right now. No this, if you do not know if you should or not give a chance to Scarlet Moon. You won't regret it. Feb 02, Nyla Wilkerson rated it it was amazing. This YA Fantasy paperback is pages. This is the first book that I have read by this author. Her writing style is nice. She has a flair for adventure and the fantasy world that is so popular today.

Her story includes twists, action, intrigue, danger, and romance. This is a good verses evil story. There is some violence and fighting. The characters, and there are many of them, are well balanced and defined "Scarlet Moon" is Book One in the Children of the Blood Moon series by author S. The characters, and there are many of them, are well balanced and defined so that it is easy to distinguish them. They come with lovable characteristics and flaws. Some are likable while others are not so much. This is the tale of Jayden. She is just one of the many born on the night of the Scarlet Moon.

Those born then have a unique birthmark and special skills. Logan is Jayden's and has a wolf named Westwind. He is a likable character. These are just a few of the many characters. Throw in a protector and Queen for even more action and drama. In the book, someone is seeking the Children of the Scarlet Moon. They are destroying their villages and their families. The children are being captured. It has been prophesied that four of the children will deliver them from this horror. Jayden might be one and is on the run. She makes new friends. Learns if she can or cannot trust people. Determines what a Deliverer is and races against time.

The stakes are high in this cat and mouse game. The lives of the Children of the Scarlet Moon are in danger as is the future of the world.

Using their specials the children prepare and battle their evil enemies. This is a fast paced book that ends with a jaw dropping cliff hanger!

It makes readers want Book Two, now! I would recommend this to anyone that enjoys fantasy. It is a bit too bloody for elementary children. It is for older teens and young adults. I am a grandmother so I rated the book from the viewpoint of my teenage niece and nephew, which I feel confident in saying would be a 5 out of 5 stars.

I have passed the book to them. Oct 21, Dana Black rated it it was amazing. I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It has a classic fantasy feel to it, but the tropes are used in interesting ways. The characters are all written in such a way that you want to spend more time with them, and you want them to succeed. Grimm has a good balance of narrative and action, with a lot of tension throughout. By the time I got to the end, I was left in desperate need of finding out what will happen to Jayden and company in book two! I recommend it to anyone who enjoys sword and sorcery and high fantasy—and fun and sometimes terrifying magical creatures.

Mar 03, Becky rated it liked it. Interesting fantasy, with a faint allusion to Christianity. I didn't actually read the whole story, as I wasn't interested in the building love interests. I think it would appeal much more to a younger audience though. May 21, Anne Rightler rated it it was amazing. Scarlet Moon by S. Grimm is an amazingly intense young adult fantasy fiction novel.

It is action packed right from the start with interesting narratives and great descriptions not only of the action but the world in which the characters live. With an evil queen, a black lion and unicorns balanced by deliverers, protectors, whisperers, and healers, the story just keeps getting better and better.
