I loved Firelight, I love Kristen Callihan’s writing, the dark gothic tone, yet, I didn’t love Daisy. At least not at first. Now don’t get me wrong, I did like the book, I just didn’t love it. I feel like so much of the plot was dragged out. That worked in Firelight, it added to the mystery and suspense. I didn’t think it worked as well here. In fact, I think it made the plot slow down.

Ian was a sad figure, a good match for Daisy, though. But a...more

Kristen Callihan has officially made me her devoted fan. Now, that's not just because the name Diana Gabaldon(my fav author ever) is on the cover. Nope it's Ian Rannulf and his wolfiness that made me a believer. Ok, Daisy was kind of cool, too.

About Firelight

Oh, God there was such a buzz about that book. So many people loved it! I don't know, but that kind of made me want to love it so bad. And I did like it. But I didn't love, LOVE it, so I ended up feeling disappointed. Didn't have tha...more

4.5 stars, rounded up generously cuz I love me a werewolf, and this author writes well.

I first read the prequel, Firelight. It's wonderful, so I wasn't expecting to like Moonglow even more. But I did. It felt more emotionally grounded, less cerebral. But it's win-win any way you look at it, because Miranda and Archer from Firelight play a good sized role in this book.

I loved this one!

In 'Firelight' Kristen Callihan introduced us to a gritty Victorian-Gothic London where historical and paranormal romance collided with the thrill of a great mystery. Now, in 'Moonglow' we are returned to this riveting 'Darkest London' and KC has again wowed me with her unique take on the supernatural - just when I thought I knew all about werewolves, Callihan takes keyboard in hand and rewrites the "noble" Lycan creatures.

Moonglow picks up about a year after Miranda an...more

Well done! A great sequel to Firelight. I think I enjoyed this one even more. It too had a dark gothic feel with an interesting mystery plot, but the romance between Ian and Daisy surpassed my expectations. They worked so well as a couple.

I'm not a huge fan of PNR, especially shape-shifters, but this one worked for me. When Ian steps in to protect Daisy from a mad werewolf on the prowl killing innocent victims, the connection between these two was smoldering. He was such a passionate man, and I...more

Moonglow basic story, beside from Victorian London, paranormal world and mystery that surround it, is how much do you want to give to sacrifice in the name of love. How to redeem our horrible past, mend our wounded heart and be a good person for people we loved. I know its a basic theme and used over and over, but I love how Ms Callihan make Moonglow more emotionally than Firelight. I think my big problem with Firelight is, while I love the mystery, I just can't connect with both main characters. Don't get me wrong, I love man with mystery. But I don't like Archer who have "I'm not worthy for you" vibe. And when his mystery revealed, I kinda like "meh".

But, Ian and Daisy already know their real identity earlier. Even Daisy just know later about her ability with controlling nature. Both are tortured, both have horrible past, suffer from their marriage (Daisy with her husband that always mock her to being liberate, Ian with his wife that can't accept his lycan side), both want to escape from it. Not to mention that Daisy just a mere mortal, while Ian is almost immortal lycan. Ian's struggle to take the throne of his clan also understable. I mean, if you have your wife hate you and your son commit suicide because he ashamed to know that he is more than human, Ian have a right to do it.

As for Daisy problem with being mortal, the conclusion is almost break my heart. Sometimes I don't get it, why always women who sacrifice their mortal life to be with their lover that is immortal in some PNR books I read. But, I still praise Ms Callihan to write the end that make me satisfied enough.

There's an interesting take into Ranulf Clan and their connection to Queen Victoria. The mystery that surrounding the were that attack Daisy is wrapped til the end. When the identity of the were revealed its break my heart, especially when readers show how tortured the were is. Another interesting part is about GIM or ghost in the machine. This is like a spirit who can possess anybody with help of clockwork heart. The GIM will play important role to Ian and Daisy relationship.

We will get a glimpse into Poppy and Winston Lane's story. Winston is attacked by were and he know who Poppy is. And he feel betrayed. Ehmm, I kinda ansty to know how their will fix their marriage. Second chance and marriage life theme is my favorite ;). And now, I must wait until next year to read ~~Paul Marron~~ Winston and Poppy's story in

?
NOOOOOOO!! :(

NB :I think I'm not into mainstream :/. Many readers like Firelight more, but I don't. LOL, its the same with Dragon Bound by Thea Harrison, I guess ^_^.(less)

As it turns out, the attack is not an isolated incident but one in the string of five murders by the same werewolf. The one link between all the murders is that they all wear the same perfume, a perfume that Daisy herself created and no one but her is supposed to own.

This is the story of Ian MacKinnon/Earl Ranulf and Daisy, Miranda's sister, whom we both met in Firelight.

As readers of Firelight already know, Ian -as well as the entire Ranulf clan- is a werewolf while Daisy's a very ordinary human unlike her talented sister. Unlikely as the relationship between them seems, since Ian in the first book was more of a villain than a hero and also infatuated with Miranda, Daisy's forced to accept his protection when she becomes the -almost- victim of a werewolf's attack. Daisy knows better than to trust Ian after the way he tried to ruin her sister's marriage, but she can't help being attracted to him and slowly but steadily, coming to like him when she sees he's more than a handsome facade. Ian on the other hand is impressed by her strength, her intelligence, her courage and her will to live the way she -and not the society- desires. Though she's physically very different from the women he usually favors, he can't ignore her lush figure and sexuality anymore than he can deny his own heritage: that of the destined leader of the Ranulf werewolf clan.

Sadly this did not come up the first book's brilliance. The protagonists though likable were not as well developed as Archer and Miranda and I never felt deeply moved by their woes and scarred past lives. Simply said, I was more intrigued by the secondary characters of this story like Winston Lane & Poppy (which I hated -until I reached the epilogue- for withholding such important information from her sisters without good reason), Lena, Lucien and mostly Talent, than the actual hero and heroine. Even though I was initially charmed by the instant and easy connection between Ian and Daisy, the fact that Daisy left her sister when in pain to go and start an 'honest' relationship with Ian, only to forget telling him who she really was until he asked days later, was the beginning of the end for me. The fact that their relationship was also based too much on lust didn't endear it to me either, as well as (view spoiler).

The mystery though, the action, the smooth writing style and the glimpses of London's secret world of supernatural beings, kept my interest alive and I'm looking forward for the next book in the series hoping the main characters will have more 'flesh' on them.

And since the killer still has the lovely Daisy in his sights, Ian will do everything in his power to keep Daisy safe from the 'were' while also trying to keep the killer from exposing the existence of Ian's wolf-shifting race to the rest of the world.

Coming into MOONGLOW, I just couldn't imagine where Callihan was going to take her series. With the way that the background mystery of the FIRELIGHT wrapped up there didn't seem to be threads hanging for a follow-on story just a character, Ian, who was such a cad in his efforts to keep Miranda and Archer apart. But then again I'd forgotten that Miranda has two sisters and apparently they are going to be the thread that connects the first three Darkest London books.

I really enjoyed MOONGLOW even though it is more standard PNR fare than Callihan’s FIRELIGHT – that is if 'standard' can be stretched to include paranormal romance with a touch of suspense in a historical setting – since there isn't the same type of mystery surrounding Daisy and Ian as the intriguing one surrounding the masked Archer in the first book.

But what MOONGLOW does just as well, is the development of the two leads and the slow build of their relationship even as there is a strong initial attraction. The fact that Ian has such a core of pain and loneliness makes him really appealing and Daisy who is equally wary of attachments after her disastrous marriage - and who also bears emotional scars almost as deep as Ian's - is equally appealing. And as in the previous book, the banter between the starring pair is very entertaining.

I had a couple nits with the story that knocked MOONGLOW down just half a notch from FIRELIGHT: Daisy's part of the family secret is handled oddly when it is revealed to us, the culmination of the mystery surrounding the werewolf serial killer is wrapped up a bit too quickly - I wanted a bigger battle and more emotion in the aftermath, and I'd have also like to have seen the emotional potential behind Daisy's fate near the end of the book milked for full impact.

But really my nits are minor, and MOONGLOW guaranteed a place for Callihan's books on my auto-buy list. I am really looking forward to the next story WINTERBLAZE to see if final sister Poppy can regain what she's lost and I am hoping that since Callihan has added some more paranormal elements to her Darkest London world that she isn't just planning just a trilogy for the three sisters - I can easily see the series going at least one more book past that since there are a few side characters that I wouldn't mind seeing more of.(less)

Beautifully written cross between a paranormal and an historical romance, I thoroughly enjoyed this second instalment in the Darkest London series.

Although Firelight had the mystery of Archer's true identity to be revealed, Moonglow held its own secrets. The supernatural world of Darkest London is revealed with werewolves, elementals and an interesting steampunk element with the inclusion of the Ghost in the Machines.

I liked the first in the series, Firelight, but not as much as I was hoping to. Thankfully, I stuck with the author and tried the second installment which I'm so glad I did. Moonglow is a complex and entertaining story full of unique characters, sexy romance, and amazing worldbuilding that has me eagerly anticipating the rest of the series.

The Darkest London series takes place in an alternate version of Victorian England where most humans live unaware of a deep underworld of supernatural creatures. These creatures are diverse and range from werewolves to elemental witches. Specifically, the series focuses on a trio of sisters who are discovering their own supernatural heritage with differing results.

This book focuses on Daisy Ellis Craigmore, sister of Firelight's heroine Miranda, who is recently widowed and free from her verbally abusive husband. I found Daisy to be a very refreshing heroine for the historical setting. Her husband belittled her whenever he could and Daisy took this to be a challenge and figured out ways to maintain her independence even after his death. She did have moments of insecurity, as would be expected from someone in her situation, but she rarely let it affect her overall outlook on life. She was very strong-minded and confident which made her an easy heroine to like.

Daisy's hero is Ian Ranulf, a mysterious nobleman that readers met in Firelight. He was a bit of a bad boy in that book even striving to seduce Daisy's sister, Miranda, away from her husband. I love reformed villain stories and was excited to see how Callihan handled his character even though he wasn't nearly as villainous as some others in the series. This book allowed readers to see the true man behind the aloof mask that Ian used in society. I thought he was a great hero who is truly worthy of being one of my many book boyfriends. He was protective of Daisy without smothering her and had a real sense of morality especially when it came to handling the rest of his werewolf pack relatives.

The romance between Ian and Daisy was full of chemistry and sexual tension. They began as strangers, but quickly transitioned to friends and eventually lovers. The development of their relationship was nicely paced and rarely frustrating. Both of them have vulnerable moments that helped increase the intimacy and really showed how close they were getting. I really was rooting for them to get their HEA which is always a good sign for me.

I also liked getting to see the return of Miranda and Archer especially after all the drama at the end of that book. It was nice to get to know Daisy's older sister, Poppy, and her inspector husband Winston who I believe will be featured in the next Darkest London book. I love reading about the sisterly relationship between Miranda, Poppy, and Daisy and look forward to more scenes between them.

I am really finding the worldbuilding of this series to be fascinating and complex. Callihan is slowly showing us bits and pieces of the world which are starting to come together into a solid whole. In the first book, readers were introduced to the existence of demons and elementals in this historical world while this one focuses more on werewolves/lycans. I especially loved learning about the complicated history of the weres (through Ian's recollections and explanations) and how they acclimated themselves to English society. I also liked the return of the elemental magic with Daisy's new powers though I do wish that there had been more time spent on her developing this awesome ability.

Overall, I was impressed with Moonglow and how it furthered the overarching plot of the series. Kristen Callihan has an intriguing voice and a real talent for mixing the historical and paranormal genres. I am really excited to read the third installment, Winterblaze, especially because of the events at the conclusion of this one.(less)

I was a little reluctant to read this one, since I only just-liked the first book and wasn't blown away. I was curious though, since I generally love paranormal matters set in historical periods. Well, from the very beginning, I liked Moonglow much better than Firelight! The plot was much more interesting and less confusing, so I found myself wanting to keep reading rather than constantly putting it down.

There's a werewolf loose on the streets of London, and he's oddly attracted to a certain fragrance. This of course is bad news for his victims, except for Daisy Ellis who managed to get away. Now she's under the protecion of the sexy lycan, Ian Ranulf. However, Daisy is a strong-willed woman and refuses to be under any man's thumb after recently being free from her abusive marriage. This causes them to bump heads, but not necessarily become aversaries. In fact, they do like each other...a lot. The tension between those two is electric from the very beginning!

I also really liked the distinction between werewolves and lycans. Although the history isn't 100% clear (Ian acknowledges this, actually), it was still very interesting. Of course, Daisy has some power of her own, which while I was expecting it, I didn't guess that it would be what it was! Then we learn the truth behind Daisy, Miranda, and Poppy and it made me eager to get Poppy's book!

The one thing that still bothers me about these books is the wordy writing. I did find myself skipping around a bit, since some scenes are just too detailed and slow for my liking. This author also has a habit of being especially descriptive of gorey scenes, which will be fine for some readers, but I'm a bit more squeamish. Despite that, Moonglow was a huge improvement over Firelight. The romance was sweeter, the sex was hotter, and there's plenty of surprises within its pages. I'm definitely looking forward to the next one!

I loved Firelight. When I found out it was the first in a series, I wondered how Kristen Callihan could possibly duplicate such an arresting and unique story in a sequel. The short answer is: she doesn't try to. Yes, Moonglow is set in the same world, with overlapping characters. But Daisy has a decidedly different story to tell than her sister did. And Ian is nothing like Archer. Their story is singular, and that is a good thing.

When I found out it was the first in a series, I wondered how Kristen Callihan could possibly duplicate such an arresting and unique story in a sequel. The short answer is: she doesn't try to. Yes, Moonglow is set in the same world, with overlapping characters. But Daisy has a decidedly different story to tell than her sister did. And Ian is nothing like Archer. Their story is singular, and that is a good thing.

As the book opens, Daisy is coming out of mourning from the death of her horrible husband. She is finally free to find happiness and passion. She is just getting started, by trysting with a handsome man outside of a party, when she witnesses a werewolf attack. Her companion is killed and she is injured. That's when Ian swoops in and brings her to his home.

Ian is Lycan, but he lives apart from others of his kind. He recognizes the scent of wolf at the scene of the attack and must make sure that Daisy does not spread the word of what she has seen. As she recovers, the two pick up a flirtatious banter --that is, until he realizes she is Miranda's sister and she figures out that he is the oaf who tried to interfere with Miranda's relationship with Archer. They plan to go their separate ways, but when it's revealed the rogue wolf is targeting women who share Daisy's scent, Ian realizes she'll only be safe in his care until he can track down the killer.

Ian carries the tragedies of his past like a boulder on his back. A failed romance. A lost child. They make him afraid to open himself to love. Beyond that, there are pack politics at play, which put him and Daisy both in danger.

Callihan has taken the world she built in Firelight and expanded it, introducing new supernatural creatures to mingle with the old. At first, I wondered why she was introducing so many threads, but then she wove them all together, showing they were relevant from the beginning. There was nothing predictable. She surprised me and excited me with the werewolf arc... and still managed to answer old questions and reveal new truths about Daisy and her sisters.

The tone and the atmosphere is very similar to the last book, which I was happy about. It's still got that wonderful dark, gothic feel. A London that is a contrast of rich lushness and dank grime. The environment was almost like its own character in the book.

I enjoyed the romance between Ian and Daisy. It was really nice to watch them overcome their old hurts to let each other in. The sexual tension was good and the love scenes were steamy. The resolution was unexpected and satisfying. Plus, we've got the set up for Poppy's story. I'm curious to see how that will play out, since she is already married to her hero and so much has already happened between them.

Very good.

Having had no real feelings for them while reading Firelight, this surprised me somewhat, but they are fabulous. Daisy is smart, has a strong will, and is absolutely captivating. After years of abuse at the hands of her husband she has some scars – inner and outer – to work past and seeing her overcome them with Ian was perfect. Speaking of Ian, he's utterly perfect. He has demons that haunt him, and fights himself nearly every step of his life – against his memories, his clan, and his lycanthropy. The one thing he doesn't fight is his respect and desire for Daisy. I was with them every step of the way, watching them fall in love, and sighing in delight as they fit themselves together.

Though I guessed who the killer werewolf was fairly early in the story, it didn't stop it from being an emotionally charged suspenseful storyline. Every moment that Daisy and Ian spent on the trail, trying to save more innocent lives, was absolutely gripping to me. And the resolution nearly had me in tears.

I felt like the world building was strong and simple in Firelight, there wasn't a lot of extraneous detail bogging down the story and I loved it for that. Moonglow continues in that same vein. Beautifully evocative descriptions painted the picture of this Darkest London as we are handing bits and pieces to make the world a bit larger, clearer and more vivid. As we're introduced to more and more supernatural beings I never felt like it was getting too crowded or confusing, rather I just wanted more and more. Several of my friends were enamoured of the GIMs (and I won't spoil what they are), but while I'm intrigued, I'm still figuring out what I feel in general, though I absolutely loved something so different from anything I'd read before being introduced into this dark and lovely world.

While I don't think one needs to read Firelight prior to reading Moonglow I'm not sure why anyone wouldn't. Both are excellent books, with fantastic characters, and a detailed, growing world. There's a slight cliff-hanger at the end of Moonglow with regards to another set of characters that might have fans on the edge of their seats anticipating the next book.

I was greatly anticipating this book from the moment I finished Firelight, which I loved and couldn't put down. Kristen Callihan did not disappoint, and in fact I think she continues to get better and better! I loved this book from the moment I picked it up, the characters are my favorites in the series, and I grew more enamoured of the world through each page. Now I really can't wait for Winterblaze which is due out February 2013.

Daisy is unharmed but finds herself needing to be protected by Lord Northrup, where they both find they are interested in one another.

I really like the characters Ian and Daisy. These are two strong but damaged characters. Ian is an enigmatic and Scottish (YUM! I love me a strong Scottish man with a sexy burr!) alpha male who has been running from his past for a long time. He is forced to face his fears and issues when his past comes back in full force. Daisy is head strong and a bold woman. Not your typical heroine in a historical (paranormal) romance. Her marriage almost broke her and knowing that her husband would not leave her anything when he died, she has become a self-made woman and supports herself. The relationship between Ian and Daisy took some time to grow. They have excellent chemistry and the flirtatious banter is deliciously sexy and funny. It’s beautiful to watch this relationship take root. These two people try their darndest not to fall in love but they both eventually fold and can no longer deny the intense feelings they have formed for one another.

"We are all imperfect creatures, love. I don’t want perfect. I just want you."

Perfect. I love Ian.

This is a very intriguing mystery. The plot is twisty and lots of different supernatural creatures are introduced. There are so many secrets revealed, so I don’t want to say too much for fear of spoiling the story. Let’s just put it this way, when you think you have it all figured out, the author will throw in another twist that will keep you on the edge of your seat.

I struggled with this book in the beginning. Moonglow felt like it was more paranormal mystery in the first 40% of the book and the rest paranormal romance. There were times when too much focus was taken off the couple and the mystery and info dumps overwhelmed the story. But once I sludged through the first half of the book, I found that I couldn’t put it down. It was definitely worth the wait to get to the more engrossing and fabulous part of the story.

Moonglow is an interesting, eclectic mix of supernatural, romance, adventure, and mystery all taken place in the late 1800’s – you couldn’t ask for a better mix! The ending is set up nicely for the next book in the series and I’m looking forward to reading it.

Rating: B ... Heat: Hot

I feel... torn, when it comes to this book. Part of me wants to blame it on my mood, maybe, and another part thinks it was the book itself. It'd probably be safe to simply blame it on both. But while I loved a great many parts, as a whole, me and Moonglow only have a "like" thing going on.

Firstly, other than familiar characters and a familiar locale - this almost felt like a separate series from Firelight.

For one, the supernatural aspect is increased almost exponentially....more

*Review*

Daisy Margaret Ellis-Craigmore is finally free of her contentious and often times unbearable marriage to a man who treated her like pond scum for 6 long years. Daisy’s forced mandated one year mourning period by Queen Victoria is over, and she can finally unwind and let go without worrying about the consequences.

Daisy’s life changes when she witnesses a werewolf killing her friend and survives. She soon meets the enigmatic and determined Ian Ranulf who will change her life once again and make her open her eyes to the possibility of true romance and even love. Daisy also has to deal with the fact that someone is killing women who wear her brand of perfume and later learns that she has a unique ability not unlike her own sisters Miranda and Poppy.

Ian Ranulf is known as the Marquis of Northrup. He was last seen in Firelight chasing after and getting in the way of Archer and Miranda’s happiness. Losing out on Miranda, he finds himself chasing skirts and failing miserably. Ian has kept his true self (werewolf) hidden away and locked up for 70 years. He refuses to allow the wolf to run free and because of that, he’s become blasé and carefree towards the women he chases. He also chose exile from his father’s pack, rather than leading it.

When Ian comes to the rescue of Daisy, little does he know that he is stepping into something that will lead him into to challenging his younger brother Conall for the leadership position of Clan Ranulf and his heart will finally find love in a very determined and outspoken young lady.

Firelight was a pleasant surprise for me, so, I was anxious to see if the sophomoric release of Moonglow would be up to the challenge and have as much intensity and passion as Firelight did. I would say that the intensity and sexual exploration between Ian and Daisy was just as hot, if not hotter than Firelight. Often times these relationships are based on the fact that neither character is perfect. Instead, they are struggling with their own identities and an escape from an awful past at the hands of someone else.

Moonglow is once again set in Victorian England (1883) and thus the world building is first rate. It’s nice to see that Archer, Miranda, Poppy and Inspector Winston Lane once again play important roles in this story. It once again blends historical romance and paranormal aspects together to keep the reader entertained and wanting more.

The third book, Winterblaze, will feature Poppy and after the stunning events that concluded Moonglow, I am even more determined to read the next book.

และกลับกลายเป็นว่า เรื่องนี้ดีกว่าที่คาดหวังเอาไว้เยอะมาก ทั้งที่พล็อตเรื่อง หรือกระทั่งคาแร็คเตอร์ไม่ได้มีอะไรน่าสนใจเป็นพิเศษ แต่เมื่อประกอบเข้ารวมกับเป็นหนังสือเล่มนี้ กลับลงตัวอย่างน่าประหลาด

เดซี เอลลิสหม้ายสาวที่ผ่านชีวิตแต่งงานอันเลวร้ายในที่สุดก็ได้รับอิสรภาพจากการต้องไว้ทุกข์ตามประเพณี หญิงสาวจึงต้องการฉลองด้วยการเริ่มต้นความสัมพันธ์ฉันทชู้สาวกับชายที่พึงใจ แต่ยังไม่ทันจะได้ทำอะไร เธอ ชายหนุ่มที่เดซีหมายตาเอาไว้ และเพื่อนสาวสนิทอีกคนก็ถูกหมาป่าตัวใหญ่ทำร้าย เดซีเป็นคนเดียวที่รอดมาได้ เพียงเพราะเอียน เรนัลฟ์ มาร์ควิสแห่งนอร์ธรัปโผล่มาช่วยไว้ได้ทัน

เอียนรู้ในทันทีว่า นั่นไม่ใช่หมาป่าธรรมดา หากแต่เป็นมนุษย์หมาป่าเช่นเดียวกับเขา แตกต่างกันแค่หมาป่าตัวนั้นไม่อาจควบคุมตัวเองได้อีกต่อไป และกำลังคลั่งออกทำร้ายหญิงสาวหลายคน จาการสืบหาความจริงทำให้เอียนรู้ว่า หมาป่าคนนี้หลงกลิ่นน้ำหอมชนิดเดียวกับที่เดซีใช้ และนั่นหมายความว่า ชีวิตของเธอกำลังตกอยู่ในอันตราย (เพราะแม้จะเลิกใช้น้ำหอมนั่น แต่กลิ่นก็ยังติดทนนาน หมาป่ายังได้กลิ่นอยู่)

อย่างที่บอกนะคะ พล็อตเรื่องนี้ธรรมดามาก ไม่ได้สร้างสรรอะไร ในส่วนของตัวละครก็ออกจากธรรมดาตามสูตรด้วยซ้ำ แต่ไม่รู้ยังไงนะคะ อ่านไปกลับรู้สึกว่า น่าติดตามตลอด เราชอบนางเอกที่ไม่ใช่คนที่ยอมแพ้อะไรง่าย ๆ เธอมีสามีที่โหดร้าย แต่เธอไม่ยอมเป็นเหยื่อ เดซีช่วยเหลือตัวเอง และเอาตัวรอดได้ ในขณะเดียวกันก็ไม่ดื้อแบบโง่ ๆ เมื่อรู้ว่า ตัวเองอยู่ในอันตราย เธอก็ทิ้งทิฐิและยอมรับความช่วยเหลือ

เอียนเป็นพระเอกทนทุกข์ตามสูตรมากไปหน่อย ความผิดหวังในอดีตทำให้เขาเดินออกจากตำแหน่งผู้นำในฝูงหมาป่า ทำให้น้องชายก้าวขึ้นมาเป็นผู้นำแทน แม้นั่นจะเป็นหายนะต่อผู้คนของเขาก็ตาม เอียนปฏิเสธด้านที่เป็นหมาป่าของตัวเอง เพราะเชื่อว่า มันทำให้เขากลายเป็นคนที่ควบคุมตัวเองไม่ได้ ซึ่งแน่นอนว่า ในเรื่องนี้เขาต้องเรียนรู้ที่จะเปลื่ยนความคิดนั้นเสีย

พยายามหาคำตอบนะคะว่า อะไรในเรื่องนี้ที่ทำให้เรารู้สึกว่า เรื่องนี้อ่านได้สนุกตลอดทั้งเล่ม แต่ก็บรรยายเป็นคำพูด (หรือภาษาเขียน) ไม่ถูก ส่วนหนึ่งน่าจะเป็นภาพรวมของเรื่อง ที่ทำให้เราได้มองเห็นโลกในชุด Darkest London ได้ชัดเจนมากขึ้น จากแค่ภาพลางเลือนในเล่มหนึ่ง Firelight ที่เราไม่รู้ว่า ชุดนี้เกี่ยวกับอะไรกันแน่ ในเล่มนี้โลกในเรื่องชัดเจนมากขึ้น และน่าสนใจมากขึ้น ทำให้รู้สึกว่า เป็นแนวพารานอมอลย้อนยุคชัดเจน

ดีกว่าที่คิดไว้เยอะ และเพิ่มความมั่นใจให้เรา (กับความเชื่ออย่างที่ไม่มีที่มาที่ไป) ว่าเรื่อง Winterblaze น่าจะเป็นเล่มที่ดีที่สุดในชุด

เล่มนี้คะแนนที่ 67

This book was exciting and sensual read. The characters were endearing in this tale of love and sacrifice. This story takes place in the London of old where people are not what they seem. Take the widowed Daisy Ellen Craigmore who is ready to embark in the pleasures of life that were denied her when she was married. Her husband was not by any means a good man or lover.

Daisy is sister to Miranda from the book Firelight. Most of the time when you read a series, the second book ends up being the stereotypical feeder, just meat for the next and best book. Thank goodness not with this one!

This review has been hidden because it contains spoilers. To view it, click here. I devoured Firelight, the first novel in this series, and I bought Moonglow with a ridiculous amount of anticipation. Unlike with Firelight, I didn't see the cover and I kind of wish I had... my mental description and vision of Daisy was not that. I had her chunkier, more insipid, and generally less attractive. Seeing the cover now makes me sad for that.

Also unlike Firelight, the romance between Daisy and Ian was not slow to build. Neither was the supernatural side of this story. I can't say I...more

Even though Ian had the propensity to act like a cad in Firelight, there was something about him that I was very intrigued with. Ian has a lot of dark secrets, and a lot of charm and personality, too. He was a character I liked in Firelight, and a character I grew to love in Moonglow. I admit it: My favorite scenes of this book were the love scenes. They were long, sexy, and just explicit enough. I also loved Daisy, who was a great combination of sweet and strong. I appreciate that the author gave me a new protagonist who was so unlike the protagonist in the first book but just as lovable. For one, the supernatural aspect is increased almost exponentially. Where it was once just Miranda and her fire-starting capabilities, the mystery that was Archer, and the reveal of Ian as a werewolf - now it is a veritable monster-mash. Some of said supernatural are the usual fare, and some were... utterly unique and unusual. And had me going, "Huh. Well, that's interesting." But it almost became a case of too much all at once. There is a lot of mythology thrown at you in one novel. You're learning about werewolves, their clans and rules and customs, and then vampires enter the picture and then something else and something else and then two or three others. It made me long for the simplicity of Firelight and yet... I really want to learn more about two of the new supernaturals. I mean, move over vamps and weres - I want more GIMs. The story does bring back Archer and Miranda as well as Poppy and Winston in minor roles which was nice to see them all again. Moonglow, the second Darkest London book, has a different texture than its predecessor Firelight, which was slower-paced yet sizzled with sexual tension. What you'll find in this second installment is nice balance of mystery, murder, romance, and expanded world-building set in alternate reality Victorian England. Secrets and monsters are underlying themes. So, in my humble opinion, this one was as good as or better than book one. They both are some of the best blend of historical and paranormal out there. I am eager to get to book three, Winterblaze when it comes out because it’s going to continue with a plot thread that was left jarringly open to do with Poppy and Winston.(less)

These are fun, but to fully appreciate I think you have to be okay with how melodramatic and contrived they are. I thought this one had a better balance between the romance and supernatural elements. We learn much more about the supernatural side of this world than we were given in the first book. Moonglow introduces us to the SOS, a secret society whose mission is to hide the existence of supernaturals from the humans, shifters (Jack, Ian’s valet is one) and GIMs (ghost in the machine) who are mercenary spies and distrusted by many of the other supernaturals. We also discover that Miranda’s sisters have abilities as well and part of the fun is discovering what those abilities are and how they manifest. I still think if you look too closely you could poke many holes in the logic behind much of the worldbuilding so far. For example, if many of the supernaturals are immortal wouldn’t humans start noticing how many of those who walk among them don’t age? Also, if lycans and werewolves are immortals, why aren’t there more elders? The author will probably invent some kind of explanation for that (we know females among the lycans are rare and Ian makes an offhand remark how titles and roles get switched around from one human generation to the next), but it really hasn’t been adequately addressed.

I liked how Daisy and Ian complement each other, but still felt the characterization was drawn with a heavy hand. I liked how the author explores the theme of the great sense of loss an immortal feels when outliving a mortal mate (think Highlander here), but had mixed feelings how the author resolved this for Daisy and Ian. I will be interested in reading the next to find out how Winston and Poppy develop. Just what is at the root of Winston’s reactions to betrayal and lies? Given Poppy’s role in the SOS, I feel certain we’ll get more development on that side as well. I would also be very surprised if Jack doesn’t get a story of his own before this series is over.
Overall, I thought this story had a lot more going on in terms of plot and was more action-oriented than the first book. (less)

I received this book a while ago and due to my backed-up reading it took me a while to get to it and I am so sorry that it did. This book was amazing and I literally read it in under 12 hours because I just couldn't put it down.

This is the 2nd book in the Darkest London series. I started with this one because it is the one I received but I don't think that by reading this one first, it ruined the first for me (which I will be finding shortly). It had just enough information in it about the first one that you get the idea and the past actions without giving away the whole plot. Kristen Callihan does a wonderful job about tying the first book together with this one yet making this one a book all of it's own.

Ian and Daisy are an interesting pair that makes each new moment in the book astonishing and unexpected. Both come to the table with their own issues and problems (which I don't think were explained in the first one). Yet their need for each other keeps them defying the odds. The humanity (hehe) of the characters really brings them to life and were it not for the paranormal aspect of the book, could possibly have really happened. I love how she explains some of the paranormal creatures in a way that I haven't read before. I have read all the paranormal books I can get my hands on and yet Callihan has given me a new perspective to look at in terms of werewolves and Lycans. I really love how mortal disease is brought into the book and mixed with the paranormal. It is another aspect that most people just wouldn't expect. It really added to the faults and cracks that made the characters more real.

My only major issue with the book was the ending. I hate how it ended (nopes, no spoilers). I understand why it had to be done this way, but that doesn't mean I have to like it. Then I have to remember that this IS in the 1800's and if I wanted a happy ending at all, I have to deal with it like I got it. (Still doesn't mean I have to like it. Okay you get the picture that I hated how it ended.) Though I am glad that the ending was a happier one than it could have been.

I fully recommend this to any woman who would want to read it. It is too old in my opinion for the teenagers and younger due to the (ahem) raunchier aspects of the book. I am not going to speak for a man and say that no man would like it, but I don't see this as a stereotypical male book. So therefore ladies, it's all yours and I sure do hope that you enjoyed it nearly as much as I did. Now if you would excuse me while I go find the 1st and 3rd book and look for my next review, I would be much obliged.

The change of focus to Ian and Daisy was a surprise that I soon grew to appreciate. From the opening chapter with Ian’s little “bedroom failure”, I knew I was going to love MOONGLOW. Once again, Callihan has found the perfect mix of history, romance, and magic to keep me captivated the whole way through.
