Devereau Webb is in uncharted territory. He thought he knew what he was doing when he chose to enter London’s supernatural society but he’s quickly discovering that his new status isn’t welcome to everyone.

He’s lived through hard times before and he’s no stranger to the murky underworld of city life. But when he comes across a young werewolf girl who’s not only been illegally turned but who has also committed two brutal murders, he will discover just how difficult life can be for supernaturals - and also how far his own predatory powers extend.

The Noose Of A New Moon follows on from the events in Midnight Smoke, the third book in the the Firebrand series although it can be read separately.

What happened?

Reviewed in the United States on July 17, 2021

Im on page 32 of this book, the last five pages have been torture, and I doubt I'll make it to the end.

In what universe is it remotely believable that some hardbitten crime lord (oh, sorry, father figure for the downtrodden) would have a conversation with a sexy woman (vampire) in a bar about how "no one wanted to follow him any more"? If he was capable of that kind of interaction with others, he would never have gotten to the position he did in the first place.

I get the feeling the author doesn't know what story she wants to tell here- "hardbitten crime lords are just regular folks trying to make sense of their place in this crazy mixed up world like you and me"?

Uhhhhh...okay... Yeah, it doesn't track. What's really disappointing is she nailed it with the previous Emma Bellamy series (and I was looking forward to more stories sweet in this world). In that series, her Lord Horvath has a weakness for Emma that is at odds with his more "normal" predatory king persona; she is this exception to his reign of power and unfettered dominance because of love/sex/etc etc etc- ok, I'll buy that. It's barely believable, but it does track.

But Devereau Webb having an existential crisis that DOESN'T prominently feature everybody and their brother trying to usurp him, his power, his wealth, his reputation- or take control of his communication network at the very least?... Instead, he's wandering around the city, complaining to random strangers that he's lost his power base, for heaven's sake- and someone DOESN'T immediately try to, I don't know, kill him??

I don't care if he's some superwolf. He's a superwolf without a pack- that's the point of his barroom whining: the story can't be anything other than a story about immediate, relentless attacks on his disintegrating empire and his response to this (because it is believable that his sudden change in status (in this world, into a werewolf) would cause some of his followers to abandon ship- but others who saw opportunities in the shift and the uncertainty of change should have made power plays of their own).

I think Helen Harper may be self-published, but issues with the believability of the storyline is something that any half decent editor (formal or informal) should have picked up on, and if I remember correctly, this is a problem I've had with this author in the past: she's unpredictable- sometimes it's really good; sometimes you're left scratching your head, going, huh? Is this the same author?

Ahhhhh, that new series smell... Helen Harper's new Wolfbrand series stars two of our favorite secondary characters from her Firebrand series - Devereau Webb, the newly changed werewolf, and saucy vampire Scarlett, Lord Horvath's MVP! As if the enigmatic crime boss wasn't alluring enough, the author decided to lob a few grenades his way and watch the explosive results - (Spoiler... WereDev is better than MobDev)! Scarlett's banter is just as witty and she certainly hasn't let her one-fanged status slow her roll. She is keeping a few 'minor' details about her extracurricular activities from LH - dicey at best...

HH has started 2021 on fire!!! She mentions that more titles starring #DevScar (better than #DevLett) are in the works, AND the fourth book in the Firebrand series releases May 3rd - Scorched Heart!

Well well well.
That was some closing chapter. Seriously, I’m caught between WTF, huh? and alllllrrrriggghhhhtttyyyy then (in my best Ace Ventura impression).
It took forever and a day for me to finally crack this book open and read. Normally Harper’s spin off books don’t work well. Seriously, they usually run out of steam and I feel like Harper can’t quite figure out where to take the characters next and it shows... big time (City of Magic series anyone).
I was pleasantly surprised that that wasn’t necessarily the case here. We got a thorough book that did not drag in the slightest and even better we spent some time with characters that I definitely wanted to explore more of (looking at you Scarlett). But this wasn’t a full blown home run here, I felt like there were a lot of loose threads that weren’t addressed and then there was the pesky issue of time. It seemed like this entire book took place in a matter of days! We got to hear several times over that the full moon was near and blah blah blah. Which led me to wonder just how much time had passed between the third Firebrand novel and this one. It seemed like it should’ve been a week at best. But considering the full moon happens every 4 weeks or so the time didn’t exactly make much sense. Then there was the issue that Webb was allowed to run around “unchecked” for weeks due to his unique supernatural status and it wasn’t addressed at all until he was forced to change his address.
But I liked the story and am looking forward to what happens in clearly a couple of days, which is Webb’s first full moon!

Interesting take on werewolves

Reviewed in the United States on January 30, 2022

Verified Purchase

Found this story quite violent, but not sexually explicit. Webb is a good guy making the best he can of a bad situation he stumbles into. However I disagree with the basic premise that Webb didn't foresee how his Flock would respond to him becoming a wolf. Webb is a highly intelligent and organized leader and has been for years. I just don't buy that he didn't do a market survey on the flocks' feelings about werewolves and werewolf transformation, or that he didnt realize that one of the basic rules relating to supernaturals, the address requirement, would app!y to him. Ms.Harper, I'm willing to suspend disbelief up to a point, but this passes that point. I expect better from you on Webb's behalf. I love his character and can't wait to see what he gets up to next.

Mr. web thinks that just because it took so many bites to turn him into a wolf he’s big in bad now. There are things that are going on in this book that he needs to get help on but he’s too much of a dope to ask the other alphas clans. The only person he has help him is Scarlet the vampire. I like Scarlet she is a very interesting character. The way that these two act together I think they really like each other as well. I did like a lot of the other characters in this book as well.

Fabulous!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 23, 2021

I absolutely fell in love with Emma and the Firebrand series and was all in for a new lead character set in the same world. I was unsure as Deveraux Webb starts out as a bad guy but I had every faith in Helen Harper as an author who writes everything I love. And right I was as Dev was every bit as interesting and compelling as any lead who finds himself a werewolf. After designing himself to be a powerful werewolf, Dev comes to realise that he might not have thought all the consequences through, but when he discovers a child in trouble, he doesn't hesitate to protect and her and try to get to the bottom of what is rotting in London high society.
A fast paced and thrilling ride, Dev is a character to watch out for, building a new team of people around him and starting from scratch all over again, in a way that completely unsettles the supernatural community around him. Having captured the interest if Scarlet, the hot and capable vampire loyal to Lord Horvath, they discover a crime deeply disturbing and risk their lives to bring about justice. I loved every second and can't wait to read more about Dev, Scarlet and what is sure to be a new gang.

a five-star read that bites back

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 11, 2021

The Noose of a New Moon by Helen Harper a five-star read that bites back. This is number one in the Wolfbrand series and follows on from the first three books of the Firebrand series and I loved them, so I had high hopes for this one, and well it just gave me chef kisses it was so good. Deveraux Webb is a complex character, and he is so much more than he first appeared, I think we always knew there was more to the criminal entrepreneur, but he is deeper again, if e was any deeper, he could tunnel to the other side of the world. Every turn I just took another chink of the armour around him, but it was Scarlett who I simply adored, she was another one who we got to know more, and I hope we will get to know her deeper, as there is definitely something her. This story and I am sure the series will just keep going building and revealing great characters, some mystery to keep you hooked and enough drama and funnies to keep you holding your breath and then smiling like a loon!! Simply amazing, now role on the next story, but on the other hand take your time as writing this good needs time to brew like a good cuppa I’m sure!!

Very enjoyable

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 13, 2021

Verified Purchase

We had met Deveroux before and he certainly deserved his own tale separate from the excellent Firebrand. It will make more sense if you have read these first and they are really good. Anyway back to this, it's really about how you use the power of a supernatural for good and how you have to carve a new life for yourself. I liked the MC a lot and he was accompanied by the vamp Scarlett to good effect. It is always a pleasure to read UF by British authors as the humour and locations are familiar. I look forward to more Wolfbrand in the future.
