Publisher's summary

The war has begun...As the humans make their move against the werewolf threat in their midst, and civil war threatens to break the pack apart, John and Marie struggle to free the only person who can unite the werewolf factions against their common enemy: Marie's brother, Michael. However, their efforts may be for nothing. As tensions mount, the Moonborn prepare to combat the human aggression with an assault of their own; an attack that could spell doom for both man and werewolf alike.

The neat bow with the sadness of the “curse”

Moments when you thought couldn’t outdo the series predecessors with shock and horror it definitely ups the ante and delivers in this conclusion for sure! Moments I literally covered my mouth in shock and out loud said “whoa!”

It has it’s moments of surprise when you think predictable as well all leading up to bittersweet end keeping the tradition alive since the Wolf Man movies that being a werewolf always ends with the fact it’s a sad, tragic & lonely curse.

What a ride this series was.

Solid End To A Pretty Solid Story

Most of us worry about the ending as much as when we start our journey in the book series . Glad to tell you that this has a solid ending with a solid narration, just as the story went through change from mediocre to a good read same thing happened with the narrator in this last book he did a really good job , here starting with enthusiasm and sometimes un understandable words in the first book to this book where he is forced into giving us an outstanding performance on all fronts THANK YOU Chris Barnes

Not. Twilight. This. Is. Brutal. Gritty. Horror.

Quite fitting that Blood Moon was released right before Christmas, as it is a Christmas story afterall. Meaning that it is Christmas time in the story and I was as giddy as when I was a kid after Santa came, when this was released. However, it has been a very long time since Moonstruck, High Moor book 2, was released. Going into this listen I was afraid that Graeme Reynolds wasn’t going to be able to create the same adrenaline pumping werewolf slaughter magic or that this third book would have a completely different feel than the others.

This book picks up right where the last book leave off. Now everyone, including the government, knows of the existence of werewolves, they understand how dangerous they are. Detection devices have been installed in most of the European airports to help deter the monsters form crossing the borders. Europe is in werewolf lock-down. This is it, the war between humans and lycanthropes ensues.

Reminder. This. Is. Not. Twilight. This. Is. Brutal. Gritty. Horror.

This is a seriously violent and brutal werewolf story. There are no love triangles, steamy sex scenes, none of the bull crap that many seem to associate with werewolves and the paranormal. This is a horror novel through and through. This is a story about an unknown species trying to escape the reach of humans. Reynolds was able to show the true character of the human race. How we fear what we do not understand and we must rule over everything no matter what.

One of the things that is sometimes lost in horror stories is the importance of character development. Reynolds did not miss this point. His characters were expanded in depth and weight throughout. Somehow he was able to do this with the large amount of them in this book. I look forward to hearing what comes next for Reynolds because with High Moor he has made me a fan of his imagination, as sick and twisted as it is.

All my worries were for not. Reynolds was on point. Bringing all of the carnage I expected him to bring to the party.

One of my favorite laugh out loud lines, “That’s the worst ideas since the Star Wars prequels.”

This is one of Chris Barnes’ most dynamic performances to date. So many characters with so many different accents. German, English, British, even from other countries. Being able to keep all of this straight is mind boggling, an easy thing to do for the listener, but I would guess not so much for the performer. He was even able to use the same voices that he used almost two years ago with the last book. Barnes was able to inject emotions in the appropriate places without pause, at times this was done very subtly. I am so happy that Reynolds kept with the same narrator for the entire series, I don;t think many authors understand hoe truly important this is to the listener.

Brilliant!!!

Fantastic, Brilliant, Epic, Amazing, and any other word I think think of to describe this book!!!

I re-listened to book 1 and 2 before diving into this and I'm so gad I did. It brought a lot of the details fresh into my mind. Anyway, this starts straight after book 2 ends. Everyone now knows that werewolves are real, thanks to Connie, and the government are intent on wiping them out. Drastic measures are taking place and any werewolf found is thrown into a camp. Of course, the wolves don't take this lightly so war is inevitable.

It's hard to say too much about the plot in case of spoilers, but I will say that it's as deliciously dark as ever. As I said in previous reviews, this isn't a shifter book, this is a down and dirty and gory read. The wolves are brutal and tear people apart. This edition is as action packed and tense as ever. The author also adds in a pretty intense and sad event that tore my heart out. I was on the edge of my seat the whole way through.

The characters, as always, were well written and developed and it's phenomena that the author can make you care so much for so many characters.. All our favourites are back and in trouble, as always ;) We even get some interesting new ones.

I started listening to this and couldn't take out my ear phones. The pace of the book is incredibly quick but so engrossing. There is so much happening in this book that I know I will relisten to it soon, just to savour it all again. The series as a whole is incredible and this author is one to watch. A satisfying conclusion to the series, though I do hope we haven't seen the last of these characters.

Once again, Chris Barnes performance was flawless. He has such an amazing range of vocals and accents, which he portrays in this perfectly. He was able to inject the right amount of emotion at the right time,to make this story come alive. An excellent performance for a brilliant book!

Perfect ending of a brilliant story

Characters are good and the progression of the story is sound and comfortable, with both action and non-action stories in sound order. Reader is good and have a nice accent.

Positively gripping

Where does High Moor 3: Blood Moon rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

It ranks at the top of the list.

What other book might you compare High Moor 3: Blood Moon to and why?

High Moor 2: Moon Struck because the overall story is fantastic. The narrator, Chris Barnes, brought this story to life.

What about Chris Barnes’s performance did you like?

I thoroughly enjoyed how he gave each character its unique voice. I knew which character was speaking at the moment, and the emotions were clearly delivered.

If you could rename High Moor 3: Blood Moon, what would you call it?

I wouldn't rename it.

A fitting end to an amazing trilogy

Any additional comments?

Graeme Reynolds has brought us a fine end to his High Moor Trilogy, combining the fantastic of werewolves and the every day problems of immigration and government gone rampant. He manages to use his characters as a wonderful way to reflect many of the issues currently plaguing society and the UK in particular.

As always the book is ably narrated by Chris Barnes, who continues to bring his A game with perhaps his best performance yet, really cutting to the bone with some of the most visceral and most heartbreaking material of the series.

While we'll always want more of our favorite wolves, the trilogy has been brought to a wonderful end that even in its final pages still manages to draw directly from the headlines. You will not be disappointed!

Fantastic Ending

The epic conclusion of the High Moor trilogy does not disappoint! I had no idea how this was all going to come to an end and I both couldn't wait to see how it ended but was so sad to see it end.

There is so much packed in here that is both revisiting recurring characters from the previous books but we also are introduced to new characters. This book also had one of the most suspenseful and terrifying scenes for me out of all of three novels.

The ending is completely perfect but also bittersweet. I am not ashamed to say I cried when it ended. I do think it was the perfect ending though, and it was the right way to end it all.

I absolutely recommend this series, it is the best werewolf series and I am sure I will revisit again because I had so much fun and enjoyed it so much.

My high expectations were exceeded by far...

Part three of the best werewolf trilogy (and one of the best trilogies overall). From the beginning the High Moor audio production has been phenomenal.

Chris Barnes, an incredibly talented narrator, has brought this story to its full potential, and by now he's become part of the High Moor world.

The author, Graeme Reynolds, has of course already written two cracking werewolf thrillers, and took his time over the third and final installment! That extra time paid off, and I found it to be the best of the three.

By this point in the story we're already familiar with the characters and a lot has happened leading up to this moment. The stakes are high, for sure, and my absolute attention was captured from the opening sentence.

This was a riveting experience, and strongly recommended for anyone who's read the first two. Those who haven't should go buy the audio versions and catch up. Now.
