Quick Synopsis – In the last vampire city of First Light, the rebels know the truth about the Grays. But nothing has changed. Sam has a plan to bring the whole rotten city down: a plan of peace, not violence. But in this city, the best laid plans have a way of falling apart, and she’ll need the help of the city’s ex ruler and former enemy if she’s to avoid a bloodbath.

Meanwhile, in the Wolflands, Jacob, Sage, and Raven must seek help from the wolves. But when a murder is committed, the land threatens to descend into war, and unless the culprit is found, they might not escape with their lives. But with a long list of suspects and a long set of claws out for them, the odds don’t look good.

When the dust has settled and the bodies are counted, only one thing is certain—the Everlands will never be the same again.

Rating – ⭐⭐⭐.5 out of 5

Review – Welcome back to the Everlands, where vampires, werewolves, and sorcerers are the norm and mortals are the myth. This is the second book in the series, so spoilers ahead if you’ve not read the first. Can all authors have a recap at the start of subsequent books? I almost never have time to go back and reread the first book, and a two-page recap is the perfect refresher. Moonfall picks up in the immediate aftermath of the first book. We start the story with Sam and the vampires, then the second part of the book is Jacob and Raven.

I will say the first half of the book is a little dry for me; there is a whole plot line about The Invisibles market (like our futures market). The plot is very central to the downfall of the vampire lords, but it is very dry. Though I do now understand the stock market and futures market a little better. So, thanks for teaching me something! I get that Sam (our vampire rebellion leader) wants a bloodless revolution, but I felt like the vampire chapters were just a little too dense. Jacob and Raven are really where this book excels for me.

Raven is this centuries old sick of your shit werewolf and Jacob is a magicless sorcerer. At first, they’re in the wolflands to tell the wolves about the vampire lords’ betrayals. Of course, it evolves and they also have to solve a murder. Together Raven and Jacob balance really well. Jacob brings levity to Raven and Raven helps Jacob believe in himself. Plus, I liked all the times the wolves would make Jacob uncomfortable. It’s not until the end of the book that our four main characters get back together. Though in this book Sage takes a little bit of a back seat. Also please stop doing mean things to Vermillion. I get that he sucked for a long time, but c’mon.

I’ll also hold out for more Sage and Sam kisses. I have faith and I will definitely be reading the next book.
