4.0 out of 5 stars Historical Paranormal Romance Set in Ireland of Yore January 25, 2011

By A.M. Harte

Format:Kindle Edition

Irish Moon is a historical paranormal romance set in the wild countryside of Ireland in the 1300s. Under the magical Irish moon, anything can happen -- and beware, because not all spirits are friendly.

The story follows headstrong village princess Breanne, who is desperate to learn more about her Druid powers even if it means sneaking off in the middle of the night to meet her eccentric mentor. But when a stranger washes ashore the same night her mentor is killed, Breanne must make a decision that will change her life forever: should she protect this mysterious English knight or turn him in for murder? Mystery, magic, forbidden love and cursed cats -- this story delves deep into Irish mythology and shows us why the Irish really do it best.

Irish Moon is an effortless read, the kind of story you can rip through in one day. As someone half-Irish perhaps I'm a little biased, but I really enjoyed the history and mythology in this novel -- Irish folklore is dark and twisted, and makes a great backdrop for a murder mystery. I particularly enjoyed Scott's descriptions of the countryside and the magical groves, but even the main keep is described vividly (and there's a great scene on a staircase!).

The characters are varied and believable. Breanne is a likeable, entertaining heroine with a mind of her own, and Ashlon (the knight and love interest) has a certain honourable charm. While I didn't like all of the characters - I mostly wanted to smack some sense into Breanne's other love interest -- I connected with them emotionally, which doesn't always happen in romance novels as many lack character depth. Overall, though, my favourite character was the cursed cat, whose temperamental nature and sarcastic comments never failed to amuse... not to mention what he gets up to later on in the novel!

The novel does get pretty steamy, but never overly explicit; Scott strikes a great balance between too much and not enough. Perhaps my only nitpick is that the romance sometimes overtook the murder mystery plot, and that Ashlon's storyline (and his secret mission) did not get as much attention as it deserved. The story really focuses on Breanne's struggles, and ends soon after her problems are resolved. But then again, we can't have it all, and I must admit that out of the many indie romances I've read, Irish Moon ranks highly.

In sum, I'd recommend this book to fans of historical paranormal romance. [Please note I received a free review copy from the author.]

5.0 out of 5 stars Great escape! March 11, 2011

By mjmu

Format:Paperback

Irish Moon is mythical, magical and white hot! Genuinely interesting characters in a page-turning story, set in the lush land of the lucky (and some not-so-lucky) Irish. The book's poetic imagery is breathtaking and the main characters' chemistry is something all of us romantic girls can only dream about. The love scenes are titillating, yet tasteful. The layered paranormal plot is mysterious and intriguing, but in no way cheesy or presumptuous. Irish Moon is a great escape from the dry, brown, mundane real world most of us inhabit. Treat yourself!

5.0 out of 5 stars Irish Swoon March 5, 2011

By Julie Brazeal

Format:Paperback

Loved, loved, loved this adult paranormal. It has enough steamy romance to suit me, but not over the top. It has plenty of chemistry and emotional angst to keep me wanting more. It has paranormal elements that were constantly present, but not over spent. It has interesting characters worth wanting to know what happens to them. I loved the setting and time period of Ireland with the folklore woven in. *sigh* It seems this book has the right amount of everything. I was excited when I found out there will be another book focusing on one of the minor characters from Irish Moon. I would really like to hear how Quinlin's story plays out. I will always recommend this book, so add it to your list of to-reads now! Then, don't forget about it, seriously worth the read!!
