Low Red Moon by Ivy Devlin

Through out my blog I have mentioned about authors that have used the popularity of Twlight to ensure its own popularity. Low Red Moon, I'm very sad to say seems to be one of those novels that tried to bask in the glory of Twilight. And It failed.

Low Red Moon tells the story of a girl called Avery Hood, after her parents are murdered in there woodland home, she moves in with her grandmother. All she can remember is a flash of silver even though she really wants to remember what happened. She later meets a guy called Ben who seems very mysterious. The book is a basic murder mystery that would have been a pretty average book if it wasn't for the fact that the author made the character of Ben into a werewolf.

The werewolf aspect of the book makes it seem very forced and like Ivy Devlin thought half way through the writing that maybe making the love interest into a werewolf. The werewolf sub-plot put nothing into the actual story and it just seemed like she put it there to increase her popularity! After spending some time researching I can't find anything to suggest that Devlin is writing a sequel (correct me if I'm wrong guys okay?)

Although I know that I've insulted this book rotten in this review, I have to say that the relationship between Avery and her grandmother is very believable as they have an uncomfortable relationship, but this is because of the rocky relationship that her grandmother has with her father.

Now we come to the murder, I had no idea who it was. That was mainly because Devlin seemed to leave the reader little in the way of hints to find out who it was. So needless I was shocked to find out who the murderer was.

Now readers, If you can find me any hints to why the murderer was who the murderer was, then I will send you a cookie.

Thanks for reading! Comment below! See you soon!
