First Moon: Four Moons #1 by Richard Amos

First Moon

by Richard Amos

Hunter. Half-werewolf. One hell of a baker.

Need someone, or something, hunted down? Akira Murakami is your man! No target is too small for him to get his energy-sucking blades swinging, and all jobs are welcome at the right price.

The bills have to be paid after all.

Living in a world where the apocalypse almost happened can be complicated, as is being the hybrid son of the High Werewolf of, well, everything. But Akira likes to live a relatively simpler life than dear old papa would like, shunning all the political crap, living by the sword and perfecting that recipe for dark chocolate and raspberry brownies.

Killing is easy.

Brownies are easy.

Too easy.

To hell with the simple life!

There’s a werewolf killer stalking the city, and Akira is about to be caught in the middle of everything.

Step into an alternative London where the London Underground is above your head, Hyde Park a prison for some creepy shadow creatures, and plenty of baking goes down in a tiny flat on Grays Inn Road.

A kick-ass Urban Fantasy adventure with a slow-burn MM Romance.

MMy Thoughts and Review:

The thing I love about Richard Amos and his storytelling is that from the first page he grabs you by the guts and heart and squeezes and pulls until the last page. You think you know what is coming around the bend, but as soon as you turn the corner a twist happens and you’re turning in a different direction.

This story takes place in London where somewhere in the future the earth is governed by the supernatural. Humans are no longer at the top of the food chain, and this story is about a half breed werewolf, Akira, son to the Alpha Prime. Akira never knew his mother and has no idea what his other half is…he only knows he lacks the power to shift like other weres, certain supernatural entities are frightened of him, and he makes one mean cupcake. Oh, he also has the hots for his dad’s beta, Gabriel, and the feeling is mutual…maybe…kinda…sorta… Oh, let’s be serious, that guy’s got it bad too, but he’s the Alpha’s Beta, and Akira is the Alpha’s disappointment of a son. See the dilemma?!?!

As with the Dylan Rivers Chronicles, this is an episodic series, meaning each book will end with an HFN or a minor cliffy. Think of it as a TV or movie series – the same rules apply. That’s half the fun though sometimes…the excitement and anticipation of waiting for what comes next.

This book was packed to the gills with supernatural action, adventure, and mystery and unlike The DRC, the sMMexy times were minimal, just in case that ain’t your bag. 😜 I’m already looking forward to book #2!
