My Blurb (3/5 stars)
The main reason I found this book intriguing is the 250 year old Australian vampire. And to be honest, her backstory is the most engaging bit of this novel. After that, it’s the action-packed finale; this was a lot of fun.
As far a characters go, Sonia is okay as FMC but it’s really Sunny that shone through. He’s just adorably charming (as he’s supposed to be lol). Again, Sonia’s backstory and who her maker is amused me to no end. Full disclosure, I am living in his land and knowing his history, I think I understand why the author chose this particular historical personage.
The other bits I found a little less engaging although I did feel like the author tried to emulate Anne Rice’s vampire series. It wasn’t as dark as these vamps do come out during the day and they are also quite different systemically. I found these bits really interesting too. Moon Flower was a fairly fast read despite the info dump which by the end of the book, you don’t really mind anymore.
