BLOOD FUGUE is the first book of E.J. Wesley's Moonsongs series. It's pretty short at 47 pages but packed with intrigue and designed to keep you reading. I've never read of a 21yo almost 6' heroine with purple hair and a tomahawk for a weapon and that alone got me excited to read Moonsongs 1. Yup, Jenny Schmidt is a spitfire and one can tell she'll be one hell of a heroine to follow.BLOOD FUGUE opens with a mystery that led to some astounding family history for Jenny. Her grandmother just past and unbeknownst to Jenny, her grandfather is alive. Long lost Gramps gave Jenny a very condensed version of why he wasn't around and carefully added morsels in his explanation to get Jenny digging deeper. Jenny's family are hunters, supernatural hunters, and as she's the last in line, the burden now falls on her shoulders. And before the book ends, Jenny's made her first kill, a rabid werewolf, and she did it with steady hands and heart, passing her initiation to the hunter world with flying colors.And that's BLOOD FUGUE. Told ya E.J. Wesley will keep you reading more. There's not much that I can derive from this except good impressions. I can tell Jenny is up for a good adventure, she's snarky which always makes for great dialogue, plus her family history is riddled with delicious stuff. I may be wrong but I also picked up some Native American myth and themes in BLOOD FUGUE and that's always an interesting urban fantasy flavor.
