Moonblood

by T.W. Fendley

Action-Packed, Futuristic World

In a future time, Ariadne is a young immortal woman seeking freedom from her confining world at the compound run by the Matron, the leader of the Eve’s.  Ariadne encounters the Adam’s, a group of males who raise the male babies and who build the compounds for the Eve’s.  In her adventure she discovers that not all is right within the compound of the Adams and the fight for her life and her people will be deadly.  She further discovers that her naivete can and will get people killed, so she must tread carefully. 

The conflict between the Eve’s, Adam’s and the Cain’s is interesting and thought provoking; highlighting sexism and the fear/hate for anyone different from themselves.  The conflict that Ariadne feels against authority and feeling she knows better is a common trait amongst the young.  I thought the author, T.W. Fendley handled this very well and presented the dilemma vividly.

The character development was well done. Each character was believable and had the necessary flaws and strengths to make them credible and with the right level of depth. The dialog was flowed smoothly and was consistent with the characters.

The narrator, Amanda Leigh Jerry, performed the audiobook beautifully.  I enjoyed hearing her project the emotions of each character – specifically Ariadne.  She spoke clearly and with a steady rhythm. 

This book is one of those edge-of-your-seat stories that captures the imagination of the listener and keeps them engaged well after the book ends.  The story moves forward at a steady pace, sometimes quickly and other times deliberately slowly allowing the listener to catch their breath!

I look forward to more books by T.W. Fendley and hearing Amanda leigh Jerry perform again.
