Cover Blurb:

Here a Wolf, There a Wolf… William Tenys is taking a much need vacation out of Altria city for a while. Some country air, fresh food picked from the orchard, maybe a lithe farm girl or two to ease his lonely heart after the loss of Farrin and generally a chance to get out of the city for a while. He finds what he thinks will be the perfect place for some solitary thoughts but he is instead thrust in the middle of two warring clans. A murder has been committed and both sides are demanding answers. What’s worse is that no matter what that answer is, the two clans will likely go to bloody battle with each other and bring down William and anyone else in the vicinity with them. To top it all off, both clans are families of werewolves and neither group in particular has humanity’s best interests at heart. In order to save his fellow man, stave off a bloody civil war and get paid, William has to figure out who the murderer was, why the person did it, and how to stop it from happening again. And the full moon is coming….

Blood Moon Rising By Author Charlene Mattson – Book Review

Blood Moon Rising is the 3rd book in the Fairy Tale Case Files and I must begin by saying it has been my absolute favourite out of the three books that I have read so far. I literally could not put it down and read the novella in one sitting! The story begins with private investigator William Tenys who is taking a much needed vacation in the country after his previous two case files in Altria City. Sadly for William his vacation is short lived when he becomes embroiled in the affairs of two warring werewolves clans after one of the clan’s members is savagely murdered. William has to solve the case before the next full moon when the clans are at their full strength and blood lust in order to stop them killing each other and the unfortunate villagers who are living in the middle of the two territories.

The plot moves at a great pace, and there are some great twist and turns in the story along the way. The cast of characters introduced are very likeable and easy to form a connection with, and the author keeps you guessing throughout as to who committed the murder and importantly why? I shall not say anymore so as not to give any spoilers away.

There are no significant editorial issues and nothing to distract the reader from the story. Quite the opposite as the narrative is engaging and will keep readers entertained and turning the pages.

I thoroughly enjoyed and I am awarding 5 stars.
