Viper Moon A Novel of the Earth Witches Lee Roland 9780451233769 Books

I bought "Viper Moon" because I found it for a good price and I am slightly obsessed with paranormal and Urban Fantasy books. I don't know what made me read this book as soon as it arrived as I have a horrendously big TBR stack. I am so glad I did read it right away because I was shocked by how much I enjoyed the book, especially its vibrant and unforgettable characters.

This story takes place in Duivel Missouri. There is a portion of town called the Barrows. There is a part of the Barrows that no one seems to consciously notice. In fact, its almost impossible to find on a map. 'This" Barrows if full of seedy mob-like criminals, gangs and people-eating monsters. The Barrows is ruled by an entity called The Darkness. Only the Earth Mother keeps the evil of the Barrows from coming into the rest of Duivel and attacking people.

Cassandra Archer is called by the Earth Mother to rescue children, many of whom are found in the Barrows. Then one day a prominent citizen asks for help finding his son. And a local detective needs her to help find his younger sister. This leads to all kinds of excitement as the reader gets introduced to Cass, Flynn, and the supporting characters. Many of these characters are not black and white but made up of shades of gray. There isn't always a clear good or bad guy. I especially liked a character named Michael who is charming but you never really know what is going on with him. Cass is a wonderful, strong, heroine and she made it impossible to not root for her.

The plot was a little confusing at first until all the characters and backstories gelled together. Then it was non-stop action amid several different intriguing mysteries. The book was well written and kept my interest. I had a problem like I said, at the first part of the book and then again at the very end. The ending is most of the reason why I am rating this book as four stars rather than five.

Yes, several big mysteries are answered satisfactorily. We end the book knowing where Cass's professional and personal future is headed. But there is a big (like huge!) situation left unresolved. Which would be okay except it is apparently being resolved by an entire cast of different characters being introduced in the next book. I am certainly in love with this story enough to pick up the next book but because I loved these characters so much, I am truly disappointed Cass won't be the lead of future stories.

Viper Moon A Novel of the Earth Witches Lee Roland 9780451233769 Books Reviews

For the first in a series this book is pretty good. Usually the first book sets up the world and the magic system (if there is one) and skips the characterization or skimps on it, same with story. Viper Moon however did not do that.

Cassandra is a Earth Witch (okay so it never really says that, she is called Huntress but the series name is Earth Witches so I assume that's what she really is, I could be off base here) Anyways, she has been given powers by The Mother and tracks down children that go into the Barrows, a place that normal people can not see beyond a certain point. It is also a place children defiantly do not belong, there are gangs, monsters and all sorts of nasties just waiting to corrupt and/or kill them.

Cassie is given a certain child to find (two actually) that leads her into the Barrows and into some sticky situations, explosions, crime lords, beautiful angelic-looking guys and a kick-butt cop are a few things she encounters. She also has a very cool little menagerie of pets, 2 snakes and a very disgruntled cat who all seem to be smarter than your average animals.

The characters were good, they all played their roles and fit their personas well. Cassie was strong, vulnerable, witty and proud, I liked her. The others were good as well, even the snakes and cat had personality. What I did not like? Insta-love.. yup, Viper Moon has it. I can't stand it, although it was not a deal breaker, it was certainly not my favorite part, in fact it was my least. But oh well. Viper Moon is a great book non-the-less and I hope to read the second book soon.

Watch the kiddies with this one though, there are moments of F-bombs, and some sex scenes.
Another nice urban fantasy series, suggested by as similar to others I've read. I am looking forward to more by this author.
I like this series. The three books overlap but aren't about the same characters. It gets a bit slow in places, but the overall book is a good one and well worth reading. I recommend reading the books in order. Viper, Vicious, and Vengence.
Pretty good for an urban romance fantasy. Very descriptive with regard to the sketchy and scary side of urban developments.
I like the whole fantasy genre of persons with special abilities doing battle with evil, especially when meshed with mainstream faiths as well. Jim Butcher is the master of this. "Viper Moon" was great in character development, and was just an interesting read. I thoroughly enjoyed the read, and there were significant plot twists that added much to my enjoyment. Great first effort, and I look forward to more books.
The book starts out a bit draggy but picks nicely. Interesting twists...saving kidnapped kids...being THE HUNTRESS, you know, that kind of thing. The main squeezes are both pretty cool but Cass does choose one over the other. All of the men, crime lords, gang bangers, etc., respect, fear or like Cass in one way or another. Abby, the Mother's life-long agent, heals and sees into the future, makes potions and is always there to help those who need her. The sewers and monsters who live in them, are believable enough to keep the story moving. Cass is a woman who knows how to take care of herself and get the job done. She has wonderful roommates/partners, two very nice snakes and a hissy cat who, like many furry beasties, would rather claw you to shreds than look at you, unless, of course, you have caviar. The snakes play an important roll in the story and it's easy to fall for them. Another fuzzy one joins up in the final pages. I liked the book. I liked the characters and I liked the fact that Cass got rid of the bad guys without wasting time thinking about it. Nice. Looking forward to a long and enjoyable series.
