Ties to the Blood Moon was just one of those books I could not get into. Maybe I am just outside the target readership, maybe I have just read to many books like this. The writing is generally competent (other than a tendency to capitalize dialogue tags). But when a teen girl without a mother is a chosen special princess and offered boyfriend options in the two different paranormal flavors... well. This is well trodden territory.
The action aspect of the story has qute a few exciting twists and turns. But so many of the detailed are tired tropes that I found it difficult to get to the end of the book, and only after putting it down for weeks at a time. The characters, teen and adult, all seem to suffer from wild mood swings. And the ending when it arrived was extremely inconclusive. It was a bit like reading half of a very long book. So while it was readable, sentence by sentence, the whole seemed to be less than the sum of its parts.
4/10
