Broods of Fenrir by Coral Moore
Publisher: Bared Teeth Publishing (November 19, 2011)
Series: Broods of Fenrir, 1
Genre: Urban Fantasy
Shapeshifter Brand Geirson was raised to rule the Broods of Fenrir, but he refused his birthright. Instead, he killed their brutal leader–his own father–and walked away.
For hundreds of years he’s avoided brood society, until a werewolf kills an innocent human woman and Brand finds himself dragged back into the violent politics of the shapeshifters. When the two brood women who mean the most to him come under threat, he must take up the throne and risk becoming the kind of vicious bastard his father was, or let the broods descend further into chaos–taking the friend he swore to protect and his lover with them.
Contains Strong Language, Violence, and Sexual Situations.

My Review:
I am a huge fan of fantasy in any
shape, but especially when it comes to shifters. I can honestly say
it's been a while since I came across one that made me excited for
the genre again. Broods of Fenrir
did just that, and I couldn't put it down! Now, this may sound
cliched, but coming from me, it's not. Lately I've been picking up
and putting down books like crazy because not many have held my
interest.
This
one did and then some!
Brand
can be the King of the broods...if only he can step forward and take
the crown. His sire, the previous king, was a viscous bastard of the
worst degree. When Brand finally broke free of his father and killed
him, he walked away from the throne, vowing never to take the
position. Now, centuries later, he finally realizes that by turning
his back on the throne, he turned his back on his people. Can he fix
the clans, who are stuck in the past and treating women and weak
members as slaves, or will he die trying?
I
truly loved this book. The writing pulled me in from the very start.
There's just something about Coral Moore's writing—it flows very
easily, and makes the reader wish to continue. I'm definitely adding
her books to my list in the future!
Brand's
tale does have a bit of romance to it, but it doesn't take center
stage all the time, and I was okay with that. I loved his
possessiveness, not just to Dagny, but everyone under his protection.
He could have easily been like his father, drunk on power but with no
honor. Instead he became very much the perfect hero.
4
STARS! For
a captivating shifter tale, one that pulls from old Norse tales a
bit, Broods of Fenrir
is sure to be a hit with fans of the genre! I will be recommending it
to others, and I am anxious to read book two ,as I'm hoping many of
the secondary characters pop up again, or better yet get their own
tale!
