The Moon Eater
GOLD Series Book 1
by I M Bones
Londinium. The city of dark streets and mysterious happenings …
And also the home of the half-werewolf assassin, Gold.
If anything goes bump in the night, then it would definitely be this sugar obsessed Lycanthrope.
By day, she whips up delicious sweet treats at her ‘Sweet Tooth’ bakery, but by night she is employed by the ruling
class of demon summoning magicians.
In a world of magic and monsters, someone has to reign in the chaos, right?
Now, seventeen-year-old Gold has a new mission: Track down the infamous Moon Eater, a ruthless Minotaur plaguing the streets of the capital and snacking on a mortal or two along the way.
With help from her handler, Nickolas, can she put a stop to the Moon Eaters quest for revenge?
4 out of 5 fairies
This was an interesting fantasy/horror, with a unique magic system and characters that you’ll find hard to forget. The story opens with a tense scene, and really sets the tone for what’s to come. I love how we’re introduced to Gold as this ruthless hunter, and then next thing you know, it’s a cozy little bakery. Admittedly, I’m quite impressed by how well Bones can change the vibe of the scene to fit the moment, giving you breaks from some of the higher tension moments and scenes. My only real complaint is there are a few small info dumps that feel forced in, when the information could’ve been woven in a little smoother instead of disrupting the flow. That said, definitely worth the read if you enjoy supernatural horror with fun characters, and a unique world. I’ll finish with a warning, this does end on a cliffhanger, and you’ll be left wishing book two was already out!
