Dark Moon: The Blood Altar 7 by HYBE
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Dardan may have been dealt with in a rather surprising manor, and the teens may have returned to their school life, but that doesn't mean all answers are there. There is also still a lot of animosity between the vampires and werewolves due to their blood rather than just their competitive schools, which isn't surprising given the way they grew up, but is still rather hilarious given the way everyone still fawns over Sooha. Even wolves that have never met her before are making things a tad awkward with all the devotion. At least everyone seems okay with Sooha and Heli, not that anyone seems to be leaving them any time alone since they're always flocking around Sooha. With that being said, who is this new girl that shows up at the end and what does she mean by Sooha taking her place? She looks like the past version of Selen especially with her eye color, but how could everything at the blood altar take place and everyone be drawn to Sooha if she was not actually the princess? Opens a rather large can of worms without any sign of a resolution as this is the last volume in the series.

Dark Moon: The Blood Altar 6
Dark Moon: The Blood Altar 6 by HYBE
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
There's never a dull moment, with constant fights and discoveries as they figure out where the Blood Altar is and recover more of their memories. While the wolves don't have the same memories, Khan at least seems to be piecing some things together with his own visit, just as Sooha and Heli especially seem to be seeing the most of their past memories overall. Dardan continues to be a major thorn and obstacle to everyone's safety, though for as many times as it has seemed like he's had the upper hand, he hasn't actually been able to kill any of the main group yet. Heli has a good point as well, wondering why the symbol on his hand is glowing even after supposedly losing his powers. Given how dire things are, hopefully freeing the wolves will bring the reinforcements needed, especially since Khan should be somewhere in that mix. A little surprised that he wasn't on the altar with Sooha, Dardan, and Marge though we briefly saw him on the altar previously - just where did Khan disappear to?

It's not surprising that these new wolves who have been held captive and never met Sooha are more than a little sceptical when it comes to her abilities and Heli's claims regarding their past. When they're in danger though, they prove to be rather good allies and not so concerned with bloodline as just their survival. It's too bad that those who know Heli's group better and are more familiar with Sooha haven't spoken up more, especially as Khan is meant to be their leader, to pull the groups together. There is far more danger when the groups are split, as evident by this latest attack and what they are up against. Dardan also seems to be getting desperate with his latest attack and his musings about how to stop Sooha and claim all of her power before she can give it to her knights. They have the sword, and they're learning more along the way, but that won't be enough if they can't make it in time to stop Dardan.

We get a lot more information on the past with several flashbacks in this volume. Heli especially seems to have a rather significant role to play, similar to Khan on the werewolf side. There is also some indication that perhaps the two races were not always enemies as they now believe, though this "first vampire" seems to be up to no good on both sides. It will be interesting when Sooha wakens if she remembers anything, be it from the past or current events that are taking place and she seems to be aiding in. Dardan seems to be under the impression that she's remembering the past, which would make some sense as it's hard to believe he wouldn't do something if he was aware she was somehow helping Heli and his brothers. Hopefully the two groups will meet up soon and be able to work together rather than fighting each other, especially while they share a common goal in saving Sooha and stopping Dardan.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars
It's unclear why this character looks so much like Chris, but perhaps it is some consolation he is not who they originally thought he was, especially for Sooha, though there are still more questions than answers. A lot is revealed about both the boys and Sooha, though Sooha herself does not know any of this information yet, nor do the werewolves, though it looks like they may be fighting the same battle after all. While Sooha's connection to the boys is clearer, it remains unclear why the wolves also seem to be so drawn to her, perhaps even mores o given her connection appears to be to the vampire side of their rivalry. Hopefully the boys will be able to find Sooha in time, and are strong enough to protect her. The last fight may not have gone well at the start, but it sounds like the "seals" are still degrading and not entirely gone yet, meaning that the boys are not yet at full power.

Oh boy, the cats are all out of the bag now, though it's hard to tell if Sooha only recognizes Heli and his group or if she also recognizes the werewolves in this last encounter. Is Heli's story also correct about the lunar eclipse and werewolf lore? If so, Sooha may have an even more ardent admirer on her hands. How is Chris back from the dead as well? As happy as Sooha is to see him originally, there seems to be something very wrong with this character and his new appearance. Also hints that he may have something to do with the boys, not that they seem to be aware themselves with their history at the orphanage. It's still not clear exactly how or why Sooha is different from other humans, or why all of her new friends are so drawn to her, but from the boy's observations, it seems clear whatever she has is something strong. She seems to have at least calmed down with Heli despite the original panic, though it is yet to be seen how the rest of this encounter will unfold. Lots of cliffhangers to pick up hopefully in the next volume.

I've been eyeing this series for awhile and finally had a chance to pick up the books today. Nearly finished this first volume in the time we were waiting in line at the store, it was that entertaining. Sooha grows up as a bit of an outcast, considered a vampire by the townsfolk though in truth she's a human with an unusual skill. With the loss of her one friend due what appears to be a vampire attack, Sooha firmly believes vampires are the worst creatures out there and hates them with a passion. The last thing she expects when transferring to a new school because of its strict screening for vampires is to find herself with not one friend, but several, all who seem to be a little unusual just like her. The boys are well aware of her hatred for vampires, but this doesn't seem to concern them at the moment. Even the few that originally think they should keep their distance from Sooha quickly end up acting like puppies with her, eager to please and spend time with her. What is it that is making her this oddity to her new friends, and what will it mean for their relationships as they learn more about each other? It will be interesting to find out, especially with the many diverse personalities, powers, and interactions we have here.
