Description

From NEW YORK TIMES & USA TODAY bestselling author, Madelynne Ellis—PROPHECY is the first installment of the BLOOD MOON serial.

Raised as human, but branded a demon, Blaze Makaresh has to stay ahead of two forces—the fiends intent upon claiming him as their prince and a group of ruthless hunters set on destroying him before he can ascend to the throne. His only hope of survival is ex-demon hunter, Asha Lemarche.

Asha is connected to Blaze in a way that runs far deeper than their intense physical attraction, a fact she’s only slowly coming to realize. Regardless, she’s determined to protect him and keep the city free of monsters. However, when their human foes outnumber their demon ones tenfold, and the only safe haven is on the other side of the Division Bridge in the demon realm, she’s forced to make a difficult choice. If she allows Blaze to cross over, he’ll be safe, but at what cost to his humanity?

Alright, at the beginning of this book there's a little warning saying that, even though this is book #1, our main characters met each other in a novella named Broken Angel.

I didn't read it and I must say I understood everything. If you want to read Broken Angel, go ahead and do it [I'll do it in a few days] but if you want to read this one first, you can do it too without the worry of feeling lost. That was a great thing the author did, she guided us through the whole journey with well described details and pretty cool characters.

The story goes around Blaze needing to be as far a possible from demons who are convinced he's their true prince. He's being helped by Asha, an ex-demon hunter. We don't know why she's helping him when she should be hunting his ass down but things get really messy because, in the middle of all this situation, Asha and Blaze are absolutely attracted to each other.

I really enjoyed Blaze, he's a well built character and pretty cool but let's be real, he's eclipsed by Asha.

I loved reading about her so much. Like a lot.

This book's got it all: funny moments, steamy scenes, bad-ass characters, well developed plot and an intense storyline.

Our story begins with leading male Blaze being hunted by demons. You see these demons have it in their darkness clouded minds that he’s their long lost prince. He has to keep as much distance between him and the demons to survive. That’s where Asha comes in. She’s an experienced former demon hunter. Yet, she isn’t without her own personal set of drama when she internally argues with herself about why she is helping him. It goes against her moral and professional code. She’s struggling with helping Blaze and be dutiful to her former profession. As they continue to fight for his survival, sparks begin to fly. You can only imagine the additional tension that brings to the battle field.

In thinking about the characters, I really think Asha overshadowed Blaze a little bit more than I would have wanted. He is the main focus of the story as the plot lines are following his demonic royalty issues. Asha’s strong will and internal moral battles seem to trump his demonic drama. The balance was a little off for me and that is the only reason why this review is marked at a 4.5 stars instead of 5 because I honestly really enjoyed this book.

I thought going into Prophecy without reading the prequel novella would make reading this book a little harder to follow than normal because the main characters are introduced in the novella. I was pleasantly surprised to find that Ellis has made it so you don’t necessarily need to read the prequel to understand the characters story. Her guiding hands lead you in the right direction with her character and world building to the point that you won’t feel lost reading Prophecy before Broken Angel. Ellis’ fantasy world is very enthralling and when you turn that last page you will instantly want to know what happens next.

4.5 stars Ok where do I start...this book was a hot mess for me. I enjoyed the characters, but at the same time I felt cheated, I felt that it is absolutely necessary that the reader must read the shirt story that introduced the series. I was constantly trying to catch up and understand what is happening. I felt constantly teased with the hints to a m/m and possibly a menage, but not sure if that's even going there. I am addicted and must have the next book, even though I'm sure that will be the same hot mess, but hoping there is a lot more HOT, wink-wink

Starting off, I did not read the prequel. Just realized there was one after reading this book. Futhermore, the book is so very unique to me. So very sifi, and some m/m action. Which I'm honestly not a fan of, but it was an amazing read, so we will look over that.

At first, I was so confused on everything. There were a whole bunch of "what the hell is going on". I felt like Blaze. Straight up confused. Honestly, not sure if that is how the author wanted it to be or not. Of course, continuing to read, I started understanding the story. Blaze was a regular orphaned human, living with his grandmother. Then, it changed. All kinds of weird stuff happening. Not knowing what was going on or who the hell he is, he was in some deep shit.

Asha, is a badass demon killer. She is a part of a clan that slays demons. Talon, is her crazy boss. The man is straight weird. But, he is all she knows. She kills for him, lets him sexual abuse her all with the help of this crazy demon ash or whatever the hell it was. (Kind of like true blood on the hbo series True Blood).

When Asha and Blaze meet... its like an instant connection. They want to protect each other. Asha knows what Blaze is but doesn't want to admit it to herself or to Blaze.

When they stumble upon Raven, some of the answers that Blaze needs, he finds. And the unwanted truths Asha tries to deny, come forward. They cannot be together. Asha has killed many demons, and Blaze destiny is to lead said demons.

At the end of the book, Blaze's path comes forward. He must follow it. Because of Blaze being what he is, Asha is very ill. And has to go back, against her will, to her home.

What happens next is a mystery that I cannot wait to read.
