Moonsongs 1 &2 reviews and giveaways! Free for Kindle on 2/15

 
 
About Blood Fugue:
“Some folks treated the past like an old friend. The memories warmed them with fondness for what was, and hope for what was to come. Not me. When I thought of long ago, my insides curdled, and I was left Feeling sour and wasted.”
Jenny Schmidt is a young woman with old heartaches. A small town Texas girl with big city attitude, she just doesn’t fit in. Not that she has ever tried.
Life has pummeled her heart into one big, lonely callus. She has no siblings, both parents were dead by sixteen, and her last grandparent—and caretaker—was in the ground before she turned twenty-one. She’s the last living member of her immediate family. Or so she thinks…
“We found my ‘grandfather’ sitting at his dining room table. An entire scorched pot of coffee dangled from his shaky hand. His skin was the ashen gray shade of thunderclouds, not the rich mocha from the photo I’d seen. There were dark blue circles under each swollen red eye. A halo of white hair skirted his bald head, a crown of tangles and mats. Corpses had more life in them.”
Suddenly, instead of burying it with the dead, Jenny is forced to confront the past. Armed only with an ancient family journal, her rifle, and an Apache tomahawk, she must save her grandfather’s life and embrace her dangerous heritage. Or be devoured by it.

My review:
I would love to find a long lost relative. What would I ask him? Would I be willing to accept what was told to me? I think I would be mad at first, but my need to understand the truth would take over. Jenny gets an email from her dead grandfather, so she decides to go and see him. Thank goodness she has her friend with her, or else she would not believe what she sees. Her grandfather is a broken man in a wheelchair. He shows her his dead farm animal, and then asks her to take down the animal responsible. When she comes back to the farm, her grandfather is missing, and Jenny thinks that it is too late. She goes through with her promise and kills the beast. When she leaves his house she takes an old computer and a journal. The journal holds the key to her family past. As in all stories the past leads you to the future, and you can not have one without the other. Is Jenny ready to live the future she was meant to? Or will she hide away from it?
 
About Witch's Nocturne:
After receiving an ancient tribal journal from her grandfather, Jenny is sent on a mission of discovery in an attempt to unravel clues to her family's monster hunting past. The journey becomes more than academic when she is asked to confront a coven of dangerous witches who plan to cast an insidious spell on the plains of West Texas.
Witch's Nocturne is the second of the Moonsongs Books, a series of paranormal-horror-action novelettes by author E.J. Wesley. These stories contain language and content better suited for mature readers.
 
My Review:
 I liked the first book better, however this was a good story too. When Witch's find out that Jenny's grandfather is dead they try to seek justice on his only living heir, Jenny. What they don't know is that Jenny is still learning her heritage, and is not quite sure of anything. She enlists her friend Marshall's help again and together they try to save West Texas. In doing so Jenny puts herself in danger. Will Marshall save her in time? They also learn more about the journal and they start to decipher some of the words. I would have liked more of the words deciphered though. They also realize the password to grandpa's computer, which leads to more deciphers. I can not wait for the next book in the series to learn more about Jenny's family and bloodline. We have dealt with witches and killer beings (don't want to give away book 1 ) I wonder what monsters will be in book 3? Either way I am sure that Jenny will be ready to face them!
