Summary:
Vengeance is a monster of appetite, forever bloodthirsty and never filled.
Tarishe is a modest village surrounded by fortress walls meant to keep out one thing: werewolves. In truth, the wolves are scarcely bothersome and seldom seen excepting one night a year when a blood-red moon appears. This full Tarishe moon never fails to herald the arrival of an entire pack of hairy beasts, drawn to the village like greedy dragons to golden treasure.
It is difficult enough to protect a young family in this world of dangerous creatures, but such a feat proves near impossible when an old witch bent on vengeance casts a curse that manipulates both heart and mind. The battle for survival is not only with a sword but an internal struggle to love those the curse has targeted for hatred, and to hate the one who through evil enchantment manipulates her enemy’s affections. How long will it take to learn that the old monster, vengeance, is insatiable?
This Tarishe tale is a thrilling piece of fiction told from the Queen of Werefolk's point of view.

Wow! What a bad guy!!! (really... wow!)
5 out of 5 stars
From the very first chapter of this book I was hooked. There is always a bad guy, always a villain, but this villain, is by far the most twisted, hurtful, evil creature I have seen! Richelle Goodrich is often associated with poems of hope and promise. But from her mind came a twisted evil creature that isn't content to hurt her enemy, but rather wants to watch her emotionally twist in the wind for years on end.
Yes, it's about werewolves and vampires, but while they play a part, they certainly aren't the main focus. They are players in this book but, the apex is centered on what choice do you make when you are surrounded by nothing but bad choices. And that, is unfortunately, not so fictional a problem.
Good job Richelle Goodrich, this is a dark book, but a winner. —Robert
Don't miss this compelling read!
5 out of 5 stars
I find many stories predictable; I often intuit the twists and endings long before the author's intentions. Not so with this creative plot. I found myself wildly pulled in two directions as I navigated the same confusion as our heroine. The author gives such a genuine voice to each character that you just have to surrender to the suspense and enjoy the ride.Many vampire/werewolf stories turn me off with the gore, but this was a pleasant surprise! —Christie
A Great Read!

For those who love this "world" of werewolves and vampires, this story keeps you on the edge of your seat. —L. South
Definitely a Buy!
5 out of 5 stars
This plot is so wonderfully twisting; I never knew what was going to happen next! The characters are so real with such palpable intentions that sometimes don’t pan out to perfect actions. The romance is Impeccable. So real and intense. Love love LOVED it! —S. Neal
Pulled me In!
5 out of 5 stars
I’m a fan of sci fi and this didn’t disappoint! Took a common topic of werewolves, vampires, and witches and breathed new life into the story plot with twists and turns along the way! Hold on for the ride and never trust a gargoyle! —Brent
