Genres: Adult, Urban Fantasy, Sci-Fi, Paranormal, Romance, Magic
After winning the trust of the terra indigene residing in the Lakeside Courtyard, Meg Corbyn has had trouble figuring out what it means to live among them. As a human, Meg should be barely tolerated prey, but her abilities as a cassandra sangue make her something more.
The appearance of two addictive drugs has sparked violence between the humans and the Others, resulting in the murders of both species in nearby cities. So when Meg has a dream about blood and black feathers in the snow, Simon Wolfgard—Lakeside's shape-shifting leader—wonders whether their blood prophet dreamed of a past attack or of a future threat.
As the urge to speak prophecies strikes Meg more frequently, trouble finds its way inside the Courtyard. Now the Others and the handful of humans residing there must work together to stop the man bent on reclaiming their blood prophet—and stop the danger that threatens to destroy them all.
This is the sequel to Written in Red find it on goodreads here. My review will be added here. I'll link it as soon as I post said review.
I am super excited for this one! I discovered The Others book one: Written in Red through goodreads, it was one of the nominees for Best Paranormal Fantasy and made it into the top ten. I didn't get to read it in time to vote for it and it didn't even win, but I still absolutely loved it! Written in Red is thought out and well written, switching POVs to whichever character necessary to let the reader know things before the main characters figure it out, adding to the excitement, the main perspective is of coarse of the main character, Meg but with the perspective of Simon Wolfgard a close second, you see how the terra indigene see things as well and understand why they do such horrible things, even if it isn't right. If you have read Written in Red, the excerpt for Murder of Crows is here. I re-read it at least twenty times when I first discovered it.
