The impressively entertaining sequel to Eye of the Moon, author Ivan Obolensky's new gothic novel Shadow of the Son is an inherently intriguing and deftly crafted story of magic, intrigue, and mystery in this. While especially and unreservedly recommended for community library General Fiction collections, it should be noted for personal reading lists that Shadow of the Son is also readily available in a digital book format.

I was thrilled to get my hands on an early advance copy of the Eye of the Moon sequel, Shadow of the Son. The first "stand-alone" novel, Eye of the Moon, is a page-turner that weaves together stories and characters that will leave you wanting more. That's exactly what happened with the sequel, Shadow of the Son, which does not disappoint! I was literally up till 2 am for three nights. Set in historic Rhinebeck NY, two young men brought up as brothers pick up from the first novel and plan for...

What a great time I had reading Ivan Obolensky's Eye of the Moon! Full of wonderfully fresh characters, it's a story full of stories that become interwoven as the novel unfolds. Looming over the book and all the characters is the fabulous estate of Rhinebeck, part Gothic castle, part Downton Abbey and part upstate New York country home. The estate holds many secrets, mysteries, and the hearts of all who have lived there or hope to. But it's the characters that we take with us and hope to see...

Ivan Obolensky has whipped up a storyline in Eye of the Moon that twists and turns the characters in a storm of a journey. We readers are allowed to sit in the eye of that storm quietly peeking into a captivating world few of us have walked through before. In any arena, relationships are the critical factor. The relationship you develop with another individual or group of individuals drives how you exist in this world. Why do you like/respect someone and how does that determine how you...
