By Ivy Devlin
Book Description
A tale of heart-stopping love, death, amnesia . . . and dangerous creatures
The only thing Avery Hood can remember about the night her parents died is that she saw silver-deadly silver, moving inhumanly fast. As much as she wants to remember who killed them, she can't, and there's nothing left to do but try to piece her life back together. Then Avery meets the new boy in school-Ben, mysterious and beautiful, with whom she feels a connection like nothing she's ever experienced. When Ben reveals he's a werewolf, Avery still trusts him-at first. Then she sees that sometimes his eyes flash inhuman silver. And she learns that she's not the only one who can't remember the night her parents died.Part murder mystery, part grief narrative, and part heart-stopping, headlong romance, Low Red Moon is a must-read for teen paranormal fans. As breathless as Twilight and as spooky as Shiver, this is a book to be devoured in one sitting-by an acclaimed YA author making her paranormal debut under the pseudonym Ivy Devlin."A quick page-turner with attractive cover art and somewhat of a surprise ending, Low Red Moon will no doubt appeal to young adults interested in paranormal romance. The wooded setting Devlin describes in her debut novel is vivid and convincing. The story ends with some intriguing plot twists that could be further explored, so a sequel seems likely and film adaptation is a possibility."—VOYA
"Wonderfully written. A novel that will definitely appeal to fans of paranormal fiction/romance."—School Library Journal
"While Twilight comparisons cannot be avoided, this lusty yet somber romance has merit on its own."—Booklist
"Pleasingly concise for this overwritten genre, the story derives its power and authenticity at least as much from its well-observed study of grief as from the intense love story. Intriguing characters and a suspenseful plot that unfolds with elision and restraint add up to a promising series opener."—Kirkus Reviews
"Genuinely creepy and memorable."—BCCB
