German, English, British, even from other countries. So many characters with so many different accents. One of my favorite laugh out loud lines, “That’s the worst ideas since the Star Wars prequels.” This is one of Chris Barnes’ most dynamic performances to date. Bringing all of the carnage I expected him to bring to the party.
I look forward to hearing what comes next for Reynolds because with High Moor he has made me a fan of his imagination, as sick and twisted as it is. Somehow he was able to do this with the large amount of them in this book. His characters were expanded in depth and weight throughout. One of the things that is sometimes lost in horror stories is the importance of character development. How we fear what we do not understand and we must rule over everything no matter what. Reynolds was able to show the true character of the human race. This is a story about an unknown species trying to escape the reach of humans. This is a horror novel through and through.
There are no love triangles, steamy sex scenes, none of the bull crap that many seem to associate with werewolves and the paranormal. This is a seriously violent and brutal werewolf story. This is it, the war between humans and lycanthropes ensues. Detection devices have been installed in most of the European airports to help deter the monsters form crossing the borders. Now everyone, including the government, knows of the existence of werewolves, they understand how dangerous they are. This book picks up right where the last book leave off.
Going into this listen I was afraid that Graeme Reynolds wasn’t going to be able to create the same adrenaline pumping werewolf slaughter magic or that this third book would have a completely different feel than the others. However, it has been a very long time since Moonstruck, High Moor book 2, was released. Meaning that it is Christmas time in the story and I was as giddy as when I was a kid after Santa came, when this was released. Quite fitting that Blood Moon was released right before Christmas, as it is a Christmas story afterall.
