Night of the Blood Red Moon

Prosper Woods Wolves, Book 1

De: Patricia Logan

Narrado por: John Solo

An old-fashioned britches-ripper with a tooth and claw twist.

Being the prince of all werewolves sucks.

Almost 10 years ago, I did my duty and married a female even though I was desperately in love with an older man. When she died giving birth to a child who could never take the throne, I ran. I left home, shirking my responsibilities, knowing eventually they’d catch up to me. Well, they have. My father now insists I marry a female half my age so I can father a proper heir and secure our rule over the First House for several more generations.

Being chosen to serve the king is a dream come true.

Even though I grew up poor, I worked hard to support my mother. When my mentor chose me to travel to America with the king, I was unbelievably honored to meet his son, the future ruler of all werewolves. I didn’t know how to react when I first laid eyes on Prince Caster, but he cast a spell over me with a single glance, and my life changed forever. I was not only looking at my future king, but the man made just for me. The moment his lips met mine, I knew this story would end horribly…in either heartache or death.

Denying destiny is a terrible idea.

As desperately as I want to ignore my attraction to the common brown wolf, I cannot. The moment I saw the warm glow of his amber eyes, the need to take him into my arms and drag him off to my bed was overwhelming. Alas, I have a duty to perform, and it doesn’t involve the man Mother Nature made only for me.

This story won’t end well…I just know it.

Night of the Blood Red Moon is a paranormal gay romance with an HEA ending.

Exciting new series starter; fittingly narrated!

Wow! Ms. Logan packed quite a bit into this new series starter.
A wolf prince who has to marry to continue his line, (said prince already has an heir, but there are issues) and a servant who thinks he has no hope of finding his mate - this is the situation for Caster and Emory respectively.
Throw in some arrogant and/or jerk characters, a good sister, a sweet child and the oh so funny agony aunt column that starts each chapter, and you have a really good story. I loved that the characters were ethnically/culturally diverse.
Though it's a spinoff, it stands well on its own.

John Solo is a good addition to the overall enjoyment of the story. He brings the different characters to life, but really excels with the slightly snarky responses in the agony aunt column. Listening to his responses made me laugh!
John Solo is a really good performer and this is a great book to showcase his talents!
Enjoyed it!

Not enough story

I liked this book. It isn’t as riveting as the other series. Not as funny. Don’t get me wrong though. I still lived it. John Solo is great as he reads these characters. Well defined with his voice bringing to life everyone of the characters.

As always another great book from Patricia Logan

I love all Patricia Logan's books. This book has you laughing and falling in love at the same time. I promise you can never go wrong buying all her books. They are worth the credit and cash if you have no credits.

Bodice ripper is a good descriptor

I had fun with the cast - really enjoyed the multiple shifter/paranormal selection
This had a bit of suspense, some light angst, and some steamy smexy moments

Emery comes across as not quite observant? naive?
I could list a paragraph of descriptors for him
Truly likable is my favorite
He is so devoted to his duties it is adorable
lol
Caster is a touch self-absorbed in my opinion -
How he viewed his own child - who he has not interacted with since birth
Sure you are a prince but you should be a touch more...
IDK - You had me wanting to knock you down a peg or two a few times

Despite all the hurdles, jealousies, and class differences, our two do get their HEA
But at a price, it seems
This does not end on a cliff hanger but it is the first in series

I listened to this in Audio after having read the book version
I probably should have done it the other way around because I had a bit of trouble with how the narrator voiced the characters with how I had envisioned them - I know not the narrators' fault just a heads up - the same idea as watching a movie based on a book you read - never lives up to your imagination
That being said ...

Great story and great audio performance!

I read the ebook of this story just a little over one month ago and I loved it. I knew then that the audiobook was coming and I couldn’t wait to listen to it. It took a while longer to release than expected but it’s here now and I started listening to it as soon as I received my review code.

I’m a huge fan of John Solo’s audio performances and he didn’t disappoint me on this one. He truly is a voice actor and the various voices he used for the many different characters sounded great to me. I hope the rest of this series comes to audio.

Prosper Woods Wolves is a spin-off of her Prosper Woods Chronicles series. It might enhance your enjoyment of this book if you’ve at least read the prequel, True Knight and book one, True Mate from that series. I’ve read those two books but not the other ones in the series. While I could tell that there was a bit of backstory that I was missing, I had enough information from reading the prequel and book one that I wasn’t lost.

With the above information out of the way, I’ve got to say that this is a really fantastic book. There were times that I was totally on the edge of my seat and other times that I was totally enchanted with some of the characters.

Prince Caster was a bit of jerk at times but he was often caught between a rock and a hard place. The one thing that was hard to forgive him for was how he treated his son, but by the end of the book all was forgiven. Emory was always delightful and I loved his devotion to his duties. He can’t quite comprehend that he and Prince Caster are fated mates.

A copy of this audiobook was provided to me at my request but my review was voluntary and not influenced by the author.
