For over a year and a half, I have been waiting to read this story. I found the author on IG, read her description of what she was hoping to write, and it intrigued me. All of her posts and promo, I was enthusiastic about. Britney S. Lewis was clear about wanting to achieve justice for Bonnie. As an avid lover of vampire stories, and a watcher of The Vampire Diaries, she was disappointed with the treatment of Bonnie’s character and sought to write a book that told a different tale.
 

With that premise already set in my mind, I was eager to read Blood Moon. Since I saw the way Bonnie was sidelined in the stories. The potential was there for her to be much more, but it was never truly explored. So what better place to do so than a brand new book, where Bonnie is not the friend but the one with ALL THE main character energy.
 

Let me just say... MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!
 

Mirabella, our FMC, is sensible, asks the right questions, and is determined to find the truth. To do this, she takes some chances that made my heart beat a lil faster. Oooo, this woman dares to walk along with danger and not run from it at times. It makes for great reading, but damn! This book fully explored what could have been if this black female character was allowed to blossom and grow, with her own secrets, her own personal lore, and her own true power. Reading this kept me giddy and immersed in this story.
  

I flowed through the pages a lot quicker than I expected and it felt as though in an instant, boom! I was done and trying to understand how a book can have a DOUBLE CLIFFHANGER. Yup. It was the first time I have ever experienced that. It was a double WHAMMY!
  

But do not let that daunt you, as the ending is still very satisfying. 

We get answers! 

We get our FMC standing up for herself. 

We get a perfect entry into the other books. 

I have absolutely no complaints, even though I am now craving the rest of this series. Cannot wait to see what else unfolds.

The MMCs, yes, there is more than one, made me squint and I kept trying to dismantle what they were really about. I am still side eyeing them both, but the ‘enemies to lovers’ trope is hardcore, as is that triangle. (Mmmmhmmmmm it gets heated.)
 

The villain is unexpected, and those twists, babeeeee, the author is REAL lucky I did not have her phone number. My texts would have lit her phone up. (I just lit up her Threads account instead lol!)
 

Truthfully, Britney S. Lewis delivered all she has been promising and so much more. This is not just justice for Bonnie, it is giving a voice and MC energy to those who have been sidelined for way too long. Especially since their stories are so blinking interesting. It makes me so happy to have read this and to recommend it to everyone who has been searching for a Vampire/Werewolf Lore book where the pretty black girl is the source and the vibe. 

Read this one. You will have no regrets.
