See all formats and editions

The scent of blood lingers, and the hunt is on.

Brand was raised to rule the Broods of Fenrir, but he’s shunned his destiny for decades, repelled by the brutality and discord within the wolf shifter society. But when a grisly murder stains the streets of Denver and one of the brood is implicated, he’s dragged right back into the heart of the passion he’s been desperate to avoid.

While investigating the murder, the disappearance of shifters in the local area, and a strange red wolf that stalks the shadows of the winter nights, he encounters the one thing that might finally bring him to his knees—and she has silver eyes.

With this new tempting distraction and the full moon approaching, unraveling the mysteries before him becomes more treacherous when the friend Brand swore to protect vanishes, and an old enemy is to blame. Challenging this particular foe will draw the attention of the most powerful of his kind and paint a target on the back of the woman he’s falling for.

As danger threatens those he cares for most, he’s faced with an impossible choice. Will he take up the throne he once denied or watch his world spiral further into chaos?

Broods of Fenrir is the first book of a gripping saga that delves into betrayal, redemption, and the primal forces that bind us all. Prepare to be enthralled by a world where loyalties are tested, and the fine line between humanity and savagery blurs.

Forever Knight with Werewolves

Broods of Fenrir is the tale of Brand, the would-be king of the werewolves, who has forsaken his crown to live a simpler life. Why would he do so? Because the people he would rule are little more than animals. Imagine the worst traits of mankind mixed with the pack mentality of canines. Not a pretty picture is it? Nor does Moore paint it as such. It's a brutal society where life is cheap and weakness is answered with suffering. Not even Brand himself is immune to these instinctual callings and, sadly for him, his family isn't quite ready to let him go.

Broods of Fenrir is a fast paced horror-thriller with strong characters and lots of werewolf on werewolf violence to keep the story moving along. I greatly enjoyed it from start to finish.

I do have a few critiques of this story, minor though they are. There are a few points in the tale where characters are introduced rapid fire, leading to a feeling of "Huh? Who's that and where did they come from?" My second critique is that this story is fairly short. The werewolves in this tale are immortal (or practically immortal) and there's a lot of history hinted at in the book. As a fan of the original Highlander, let me just say I love flashbacks. I would have liked to have seen a few more glimpses into their back story. On the other hand, the author definitely leaves herself with plenty of material for future books if such is her plan.

As a minor side note, I will just say that Broods of Fenrir is beautifully edited. Over the past couple of years, I've come to expect books (even professionally published) to have a few typos or formatting errors here and there. I don't think I spotted a single thing in this book. This doesn't' have anything to do with the story, but kudos to the author and her team for putting that little bit of extra polish into this.

All the werewolf angst you could possibly crave, wrapped in a grim, gritty adult setting.

interesting take on shifters

Reviewed in the United States on July 24, 2023

The story had our Shifters being a bit different than I'm used to which is always refreshing. I did have some trouble reading the story as it sort of drags for me. But needing to know what happened. I finished it. There were some inconsistencies and with the dragon that is why I first started. Because it is an interesting book with some interesting things.

Tight, dark werewolf retelling

Reviewed in the United States on July 10, 2023

This is my first encounter with werewolves stemming from Fenrir, a God of Norse mythology. There maybe more, dunno, but what I do know is I really liked it. The concept was wonderful, the world build stunning, and the action kept me turning
the page when I had no plan to read the whole book in one evening. I am looking forward to more of this author’s work!

Reviews from The Bawdy Book Blog

Reviewed in the United States on March 9, 2012

**This is a 3 1/2 star review**

Brandulf Gierson was raised by a bastard of a father, one who beat the females and males around him into submission in order to assert dominance and authority. His ruled with an iron fist until Brand killed him with his sire's own sword...and then walked away from his destiny: to be King of the Broods of Fenrir, for the wolf who kills the King becomes the King. Except Brand doesn't want to be King; in fact, he doesn't want anything but to bow out of the broods and be left alone.
Brand manages to avoid brood society for hundreds of years by closing himself off from them, but he can avoid their brutal politics no longer when two women he cares for are threatened and another innocent woman is attacked. At the risk of becoming like his father, he either must become King or let the broods fall even further into chaos, and that's a chance even he may not be willing to take.

Broods of Fenrir is a very in-your-face, somewhat violent shifter novel. It reminds me a little of the Black Dagger Brotherhood series, but instead of vhampires, we have werewolves. And these werewolves aren't Jacob, folks, oh no. These werewolves are dominate, big, beastly men who will rip your head right off at just a slight provocation. They have a pecking order and you best follow it. Broods of Fenrir is a heated novel, both emotionally and sexually. Speaking of sex, there is some, but it isn't over the top or really dirty. It was just enough to fit in with the flow of the story.

There are three separate plot lines in Broods of Fenrir: 1) a rogue werewolf is murdering innocent victims, 2) Ingrid's intention to force Brand to into his destiny as King, and 3) werewolves are being killed off or mysteriously disappearing. These three plot lines don't seem to be integrated with each other (if they are, it wasn't obvious to me) and I think the book would have been better served with a heavy focus on one, rather than all three. As it stands, the book starts off with a female brutally murdered by a werewolf, then shifts to Brand before finally focusing on the murdered wolves. It felt a bit disjointed, but I won't say I didn't enjoy it, because it was definitely intriguing.

The world building is done rather well. Moore takes our world and adds her twist of werewolves and makes it completely believable. She even manages to humanize them while still making them seem like beastly, savage creatures. They seemed to hold on to these threads of humanity though sheer willpower, as if any slight or provocation would cause the beast to take over. The desperation Brand displays in wanting to retain his humanity and humility makes him appear to be especially thoughtful and powerful, even though his fellow males in the Brood seem to find that a weakness.

The other characters are also engaging to the story: Ingrid is a particular wolf I still can't quite get my head around. She was absolutely nuts but nothing she did seemed to be without some grand plan in mind. Dagny is a strong-willed character and I liked her a lot. She is a fighter that doesn't take crap from anyone and she is willing to stand up to the men in the brood. I admired her. Alice struck me as somewhat weak, even though I know the author intended her to be that way. I had a hard time believing her nature just didn't take over and allow her to be a bit more vicious.
I would like to mention that when a certain death occurs in this story, it didn't spark a lot of emotion from me, except maybe disbelief. I felt a little detached from that character throughout the novel so when they died, I thought to myself, "Meh" and then, "Really? They die??" I also would have really liked to see more interaction between Brand and Erik, especially as the two males are so completely dominant. I think that's an avenue Moore can further explore in another novel. Erik could be a very interesting character, along with his wife, Bera. I have a real heart-love for strong, interesting characters.

Overall, this was an enjoyable urban fantasy. I haven't read many shape-shifter novels, but I am pretty fascinated with them so far and Broods of Fenrir did not disappoint me. Coral Moore did a great job keeping the story flowing and the characters interesting and I would recommend this to anyone who is a fan of this genre.

Really Enjoyed Broods of Fenton

This was a very enjoyable read of paranormal fiction and I like the fact that it had more of a storyline and less of a all steamy story, although I would of liked just a little bit more steamy and romantic scenes but overall I would recommend reading this if you enjoy paranormal/werewolf stories and romance. I look forward to the next installment. 😊📚

Viking werewolves/shapeshifters - one word - AWESOME

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on December 6, 2013

Verified Purchase

This is a super action, thrill, romance, danger, tension and drama packed norse fantasy from a very talented writer. It has a large dose of norse mythology but subtle enough to not baffle any non-nordic readers, has all the drama and action of a Sookie Stackhouse adventure plus the mystery and danger to go with it. I loved reading it every page and was gutted when it finally ended which was too soon! Coral really captures the spirit, essence and character of wolves and beautifully transports it into these mythical werewolves. I can only pray to Odin (and perhaps Loki) that Coral does indeed write a sequel to this fantastic book. Thankfully there are still some delights as she's written two novella's giving some history and insight into the characters in this main book.
It is a highly recommended read for those who love wolves, werewolves, magic and norse mythology.

Mittelmäßiges Werwolfroman mit nordischen Anstrich

Reviewed in Germany on June 27, 2012

Verified Purchase

Alles in allem muss ich das Buch eher als mittelmäßig bewerten. Die Handlung dreht sich um Brand, der eigentlich König der "Broods" (ungefähr Rudel) sein sollte. Ist er aber nicht, denn sein Vater, der vorher König war, war ein grausamer Despot und der empathische Brand möchte auf keinen Fall so werden wie er. Daneben gibt es noch den Earl Erik, der ein Freund Brands ist und der Anführer einer Brood, Alice, Brands beste Freundin und Dagny, eine Werwölfin, die Brand erst kennen lernt...
In der Geschichte kommen keine großen Überraschungen vor. Die Autorin hat eine Kultur für die Broods entwickelt, die irgendwie nordisch sein soll. Davon sollte man sich aber nicht täuschen lassen, das Buch hat keinen Bezug zu nordischer Mythologie. Der namensgebende Fenrir wird zwar mehrmals als ein Gott angerufen, ebenso wie Loki, aber außer das Fenrir ein Wolf ist und Loki sein Vater, haben die beiden nichts mit der Handlung zu tun. Die Kultur der Broods basiert auf dem klassischen Prinzip des Rechtes des Stärkeren, die außerdem gibt es eine Klanstruktur. Den Broods stehen Earls vor und darüber steht der König, Frauen haben keinen gesellschaftlichen Status und sind hauptsächlich Brutmaschienen. Die Autorin gibt dem ganzen einen nordischen Anstrich durch skandinavisch anmutende Namen und dadurch, dass die Charaktere immer mal wieder Norse sprechen, leider hat die Autorin aber auch hier nicht mal einen Wikipediaeintrag zum Thema gelesen und macht damit nichts weiter. Ein weiterer Kritikpunkt ist für mich, dass mir viele Charaktere irgendwie nicht plastisch wurden, vor allem Alice nicht. Was treibt sie an? Was macht sie in ihrer Freizeit? Wer ist sie? Sie wird auf ein, zwei Charakterzüge reduziert und dabei bleibt es. Natürlich muss nicht jeder Charakter in einer Erzählung rund sein, aber doch zumindest die Hauptfiguren sollten etwas Tiefe besitzen.
Was den Roman davor rettet, ein schlechter Roman zu sein, ist die Tatsache, dass die Autorin zumindest Brand glaubhaft und vielschichtig darstellt. Außerdem liest sich die Erzählung recht flüssig durch, ein gewisser Spannungsbogen bleibt erhalten, auch wenn letztlich fast alles so kommt wie es zu erwarten war. Wer nichts Tiefsinniges oder Komplexes sucht, kann an diesem Buch also durchaus Spaß haben.
