The Blood Moon of Winter Land of Makayra Book 1 eBook Courtney Conant Carolyn Gill Joy McCambridge
I was offered the chance to review "The Blood Moon of Winter". I liked the concept of the story and the characters. Lily is very likable and reminded me of myself. Her personality and lifestyle are very similar to my own. I liked Jason as well. He's smart, charming, and sexy. He and Lily have a nice chemistry. Courtney is a very descriptive author which was both a positive and negative for this story. On the positive, her descriptiveness brought the land of Makayra to vivid life. On the negative, Courtney's descriptions of Lily's normal life were rather boring. The way she writes about every little thing was like watching a crime show and listening to a suspect recount their every move. I grew increasingly bored until the end. The language was formal and stiff. The use of more contractions and less redundancy in words would have made the story simpler and easier to read. I would've liked more history on Makayra as well. The last four chapters grabbed my attention and the ending makes me want to read the second book. I give "The Blood Moon of Winter" 3/5 stars; even though most of the story bored me the ending really saved the book and heightened my opinion.Product details

The Blood Moon of Winter Land of Makayra Book 1 eBook Courtney Conant Carolyn Gill Joy McCambridge Reviews
The Blood Moon of Winter was very slow in the beginning. The prologue gave the reader a quick glimpse into a mystical world where everything was dying and they were in need of their Goddess to return to save their world.
Lilyana Makay is leading a pretty ordinary life. She has no social life and spends her free time either babysitting her twin niece and nephew or curled up with a good book. Her sister Taynia tries to set her up with eligible bachelors but Lily is just not interested in the dating scene. A chance meeting with one of her favorite authors opens up new feelings of love and longing that Lily has never felt before. Meeting and falling in love with Jason Caurns has left her confused as to whether or not she can leave him and her human life behind to help save the land of Makayra.
Lily's dream-like altered states take her back to Makayra where her only contact is with a white panther named Sarwanell. It's through him that she learns about the prophecy of the Flower Goddess and that she is the only one that can save the world of Makayra. Jason was the only human that Lily could confide in about her impending transition to the Goddess of Makayra. As crazy as the idea sounded to her it was through Jason's caring and understanding that she was able to come to terms with her fate and begin to grasp the idea that her life as she knew it would soon come to an end. Both James and Lily seemed content in spending what little time they had to get to know each other better. Their hope was that once she transformed into the Goddess she would either be able to go back in forth between Makayra and earth or bring Jason over to Makayra to live with her
The book had a cliff-hanger ending. The author spent a lot of time in this book world building for this series. I am a little curious to see what happens in the next book with Lily and Jason and how Lily copes in her new role as Goddess.
The Blood Moon of Winter gets 3 out of 5 stars.
I really, really enjoyed this book. It is probably a 4.5 instead of a 5 because of a few editing issues, but the story was wonderful. It is difficult to review this book without giving too much away, so if I spoil anything, I apologize in advance. Here is what I liked about this book
The main character is an avid reader!
There is a talking feline.... I so love talking felines!!!!!
Jason is a writer. What is sexier than a writer????
The book was an enjoyable read. There were no parts where I was tempted to skim.
The Tattoo!!!!!!
It is a book I can see myself reading again.
It is unique and does not follow the same story arc I have seen in so many novels lately.
It is beyond a bargain at only $.99.
Ok, there are a ton more, but I really am afraid I am going to ruin too much of the plot if I share them. I am anxiously waiting the next installment of this series. There is so much rich content the author can pull from. The possibilities are endless. Personally, along with the the main storyline, I am looking forward to seeing what part her mom may or may not play as the series progresses.
If I had an older teen daughter interested in reading this, I would think twice about it, but not necessarily dismiss it outright. There is one scene that is definitely adult, but it is not x rated adult. It would definitely not be for a younger teen.
Let me start by saying that for me, this book doesn't fit into the normal YA genre, purely because of the ages of the characters involved in the story. They don't fit into the normal age bracket that is generally featured in young adult books. There is also one sex scene, which while it isn't terribly graphic, it is there. So I would probably say that this is suitable for the higher aged teen and upwards!!
But all of that being said, The Blood Moon of Winter is an enjoyable read!! Some of the things I loved about it were...
THE COVER It couldn't have fitted in better with the whole story. Absolutely perfect!! The Blood Moon, the dress, the hair, the tattoo, the lake!! A perfect representation of the story!!
LILYANA She is a reader. A lover of books. And one of the quotes I loved most in the book was "I love books because they are easier than people." There are days when I absolutely feel like that myself!!
JASON Caring, protective, loving!! And he's an author!! What more could you want!!
THE ENDING Wow!! What a fantastic lead in to the next book!!
On the downside, I found the speech between the characters to be a bit stilted. I felt it wasn't as free flowing as it should be when you're having a conversation with someone.
The plot and storyline keep you interested and the characters are all well rounded although I would have liked a little more background information for Lily's reluctance to date.
So, will I be reading more of this series? Definitely! The ending alone was enough to have me guessing as to what will happen next!!
3.75/5
