We’re the D’Artigo sisters: savvy half-human, half-Fae ex-operatives for the Otherworld Intelligence Agency. My sister Camille is a wicked-good witch with three sexy husbands. My sister Delilah is a two-faced werecat and Death Maiden. And me? I’m Menolly, a jian-tu turned vampire in love with a wildly hot werepuma. Unfortunately, life is about to get very, very nasty…

Book twelve has its high-lights but I found myself caring less about Menolly and Nerissa's wedding preparations, and more about the upcoming war in Earthside and Otherwold. The changes in everyone's daily lives have a realistic tone and turn that bring these characters and the world building to life. Iris'(and Sharah's) advancing pregnancy, house renovations, family meals, and the abilities of newcomers (Shade) added flavor and foreshadowing to future battles and possible outcomes ...more

I really do enjoy this series but it seems that its getting a little "old". Don't get me wrong, I still really like it but not loving it. The gang is all up against another great evil, they face death and have to come up against more demons (of both the inner and physical kind).
This story focuses on Menolly D’Artigo (vampire/Fae) and is told from her perspective. Gulakah, the Lord of Ghosts is attacking the earthside while Shadow Wing is attacking Otherworld.

Menolly’s POV.
D’Artigo sisters – Menolly, Camille and Delilah – together with Chase, Shade and Trillian headed to Otherworld for a meeting with Queen Asteria. New faces, old faces, new problems, new solutions, and so many other things on that meeting I had a hard time catching up actually.

Yine aksiyonun dibine vurduğu bir roman oldu. Sırada Camille var, beklemedeyim...
What it's about: Shadow Rising is the 12th book in the Otherworld series and features Menolly this time. I highly recommend reading the previous books, as each one builds on the other. In Shadow Rising Menolly and Nerissa are finally tying the knot in a commitment ceremony, and Menolly would much rather be killing demons than picking out flowers. When the sisters head into the Otherworld they discover a war is building and it all centers on their father. Add to that Menolly's tie to Morio, and y

This series is starting to loose steam for me. Every book is life and death, the sisters run from one emergency to another, every person they come across is ready to help them. How is this possible?
This book was narrated by Menolly, my most unfavorite sister. I think the reason for that is because she hates herself, hates that she is a vampire, even though she didn't ask for it. I also get tired of her whining through the whole book. I also find her and Nerissa's relationship odd, they are commi ...more

I love this story! And not only because I both laughed and cried during the reading of it. :-)
Before I really get into what I love about this story, though, I feel like I need to qualify my five-star rating. Because I read this book over three days, and because I was violently ill on thesecond first day and, as a result, didn't get to read much, this book lost a lot of its oomph for me. So I am giving it five-stars on the assumption that it would have wowed me had I been able to read it at my u

Twelfth in the Otherworld urban fantasy series surrounding a trio of half-fae, half-human sisters living in Seattle. This story is from Mennolly's point of view.
My Take
I started this series, lo so many installments ago, hating Galenorn's terrible writing. So, you may ask, why have I continued through twelve of them? Because I adore her characters. I love the love and affection, the loyalty, and the backstory of the sisters as well as the additional cast of characters who have clambered on whethe ...more

What can I say about this series that I haven’t said before? This is the twelfth book, and it is still going strong and fresh. There is no real progress though; things are getting direr by the day in Seattle, and in Otherworld. War is threatening, and allies have to be found soon.
Two good things happened though, the girls make up with their father, who shows real remorse about the way he treated Camille and Menolly, and it is time for the wedding between Menolly and Nerissa! Which was a lovely ...more

Took a while to get into this one, but it finally go rolling. Although, this story has gone on so long with so many characters coming in and storylines diverging, it feels like it's going nowhere and I'm beginning to confuse people. Whenever a decision is made to go anywhere, it takes a full paragraph just to list and divvy up who is going where.
The books are good, but I am bored with this series.

Sort of a "meh" on this one. I think there are getting to be so many characters I can't keep track. As someone else mentioned the series is moving slowly too. Will I read the next one? Probably but I no longer look forward to them the way I did at the beginning.
Cried At the end!
I am losing interest in this series...
4.5 stars I am so glad that the sisters are finding their souls mates but man things are getting harder for them

This series is a very good series, there are parts that are slow or some areas repeated which we can do without . but the overall series in a whole I love it very much. It has everything paranormal and is written very well. reminds me of what real people actually do in there lives or in the hear of the moment. I have enjoyed this series and I would recommend it to others who enjoy reading of magic shifters vampires fairy's dragons everything sisters and their loves and family trying to keep eart

Tired of all the sex in the books. It detracts from the story. I used to be read the books by Laurel Hamilton until they were nothing but sex. I'm afraid this series is headed for the same toilet. Worse with each one.
Shadow Rising
Menoly has changed and her love for Narisa is deep. She and Mario are free of her blood but now her and Roman are bonded. We will see what the future holds

Enjoying Roman as a character more than I thought.
literally mind-blowing and unexpected turn of events as usual. loved the risks and turn of events. horrifyingly interesting and intense battles every-now and then
Wow, another amazing book! Great to have Menolly star again, and I can't wait to read more of this marvelous series!
"Vampirnacht" ist bereits der 12. Band der Reihe und noch immer werde ich ihr nicht müde. Menolly gegenüber hegte ich stets grossen Respekt, was mich aber auch auf Abstand zu ihr hielt. Dies liegt an ihrer harten und brutalen Vergangenheit. Doch in diesem Band geschehen nun Dinge, die ich ihr voll und ganz gönne, und mich richtiggehend freuen. Es ist toll, dass Galenorn für jedes Buch wieder neue Ideen findet und sich noch immer nicht wiederholt, stets entwickeln sich die Figuren weiter und neue

Menolly and her sisters continue their epic battle against Shadow Wing and his quest to bring the demons to Earth and the Otherworld. A new front has opened up in Otherworld, the sorcerers rising up from the Southern Wastes to bring the world to war again.
While on Earth, the Lord of Ghosts has unleashed a torrent of spectral monsters preying on any with sufficient magic to be tasty – but their goal may be far more insidious than that.
And through all this, Menolly has a wedding to plan – and to f ...more

I had my first brush with Yasmine Galenorn's writing when I was given the chance to review Night Seeker (Indigo Court #3) last year. Having thoroughly enjoyed jumping into the middle of her Indigo Court series, I wasn't overly concerned that my first encounter with Galenorn's Otherworld series was not going to be from the very beginning and I'm pleased to say I was not disappointed.

Der zwölfte Band der Schwestern des Mondes Reihe war wieder etwas schwächer. Der letzte Band endete mit dem Verlust eines Geistsiegels. Dieser Band begann mit der Aussicht auf einen beginnenden Krieg mit Schattenschwinge, bzw. Telazahr, vielversprechend. Doch wider meinen Erwartungen wurde dieser Strang und somit die Haupthandlung nicht weiter verfolgt.

Shadow Rising, the twelfth book in the Otherworld D'Artigo sisters series, picks up right after Shaded Vision had left off. The group of heroes, told in Menolly's POV, has traveled to OtherWorld to meet with Queen Asteria, who has the Spirit Seals the girls have found kept safe for now. They are given grave news that Shadow Wing has dispatched the necromancers Telazar to reignite the Scorching Wars. After meeting the trio of men who plan to infiltrate the area where he is rumored to be, the girl

Shadow Rising was so much better than book eleven, Shaded Vision, that I found myself unable to put it down. Menolly has grown a lot throughout the series and it's great to see her in love, happy, and finally coming to terms with her vampire nature. She may be Roman's consort but she's Nerissa's soulmate. I love that Yasmine Galenorn embraces Menolly's bisexual nature and doesn't hold back when it comes to the sex scenes. As sexual as this series is, it would do it a huge injustice. I have much

This is book twelve in a fabulous, fun series but because it is book twelve I do not recommend jumping in with this story at all, you really need to go back to the beginning. What I’ve really enjoyed about this series is that in each book we rotate the first person story telling between each sister. In this book, Menolly is our story teller. She hasn’t been my favorite of the sisters and typically I put off reading her books until a new Camille book is out and because there is a complex overarch

I adore Yasmine Galenorn's D'Artigo sisters, half human/half fae...There is Camille: A sultry beauty and her 3, yes you heard correctly, 3 husbands...she is a witch. There is Delilah: A shapeshifter. Depending on cercumstances she changes into either a kitty or a panther. Then there is Menolly: a vampire. This tale is from Menolly's point of view as we are drawn in to more evil unleashed on Earth from other realms. Menolly was a spy for the Fae otherworld, when she was sent into a vampire nest w

Vampirnacht ist der 12. Band in dieser Reihe und noch immer wird es nicht langweilig. Das Buch ist wie gewohnt actiongeladen und sehr spannend geschrieben. Ständig passiert etwas anderes, so dass man kaum zum Luft holen kommt.
Durch Erklärungen wird das Wissen um die Schwestern immer wieder aufgefrischt und man fühlt sich schnell wieder in der Geschichte um Schattenschwinge und die Geistsiegel heimisch.
