Dragon Moon

Alan F. Troop: Dragon Moon

* * * * *

In the second Dragon Delasangre novel, Troop continues his novel approach to dragons, introducing us to new powers, new breeds, and also weaving in a family drama - his new romance with his deceased wife’s sister. Still in dire need of a better editor, but good bathroom reading.

The Dragon Delasangre

Alan F. Troop: The Dragon Delasangre

* * * * *

When Fuzzy brought me this book I looked at the cover and said, “What is it, a new vampire novel?” Oh, how wrong I was. Author Alan F. Troop’s first novel about a shapeshifting race whose natural form is that of the dragon was compelling and entertaining, though poorly edited. The title character, Peter Delasangre, is, when we meet him, a human being living on an island off the coast of Miami - only when he devours (literally) the young waitress who was hitting on him hours before in a restaurant do we see the reality of his natural form.

The first in a series of (currently) four novels, this book introduces us to Peter, his human employees, and his eventual wife Elizabeth, and her family.

Mind candy, but fun mind candy.
