Water Over Blood is the third book in the Last Moon Rising Series by Dale Ibitz. In this third book a hidden truth will be exposed, a lost person will be found, a broken heart will be fixed and another heart will be left marked for ever.

I absolutely loved WOB, I was so hooked up in the story that I couldn’t put the book down! I loved it for so many reasons (we’ll get to all the reasons when the time comes) and I enjoyed reading every part of WOB, from the very first page until the end.
I remember one day while reading WOB on the train, I was trying so hard to contain my emotions but totally failed; You know that face when you try not to cry out loud how in love you are with a book(because you are in a public place) and to not show any feelings, but you just seem to have swallowed a lemon? That was my face on the train. One hour with that face! I was containing my laugh, my tears, my OMG cries, everything. That shows pretty well how much I loved WOB.
You know, I was told that this was the best book in the LMR series, and know I know how true it was. Water Over Blood is my favorite book in the Last Moon Rising series by far.

Why did I love WOB so much?

1) The cover: I know this is superficial, but we -I- do it every day. Don’t fool yourself; we judge books by its covers. But that’s not the reason. I like what Ms. Dale has done with the new covers, they are perfect for the storyline in each book. I like the color, it is alluring. I also like the font for the title; it’s legible and pretty at the same time.

2)The plot: I love the main idea of this series, war? Ok, war between nature gods? I’m in. But in this third book, the plot was mind-blowing. Haley has lost her memory, and doesn’t know who she is or what she is. In the process of getting back her memories, Haley meet new people and find a truth that was better hidden.
I don’t know what else to say without giving away anything important, so I’ll just say that the plot was breathtaking and made me crave for more!

3)Characters: Usually hot and badass guys are my favorite characters in a book (I don’t know why…), but I’m proud to admit that Haley is my favorite character in WOB. She is not just the main character, and the one that is supposed to save our world, but sweet, passionate, loyal, strong, stubborn, and oh yeah… the one that is supposed to save our world!
I liked the Haley in WOB, she was fierce! She showed her leadership skills and proved to everyone that all of them were wrong about her. But she also showed us her gentle side.
As for the other characters, there are the old Ones: Tuggin (aka my future husband), Elana, Telsa. They all play a great part in this book, but it’s up to you to find out. Oh and there are new characters, each one of them with their own personality and well developed background.

4)Writing: I have said it before, and I’ll say it now: Ms. Dale’s writing is like a fresh breath of air on a hot summer day.

5)The end: The end was priceless! It left me crawling for more. It was a give-me-the-next-book-now-or-I’ll-swear-I’ll-die kind of end. It left my heart pounding and I felt joy and despair at the same time.

6)A part of the fourth book: If the end wasn’t enough to die for the next installment, then a preview of Blood Tied (fourth book) will do the trick. I just can’t wait to read the net one.

I have to admit that after reading Strong Blood, second book in this series, I didn’t think that Ms. Dale could surprise me. I was wrong, boy how WRONG I WAS! Ms. Dale has created an even greater book, with aspects I didn’t know I wanted in a book, wanted? Wished for!
There is only one thing left to say: if you have read the first two books you must read this one, I assure you that WOB will shatter your world. And if you haven’t read Fire in the Blood and Strong Blood, don’t think it twice; read the first one, you won’t regret it, AND where is the next book? *sobbing*
