about this book: Water over Blood is the 3rd book in the Last Moon Rising series, a young adult fantasy.

The Last Moon Rising series is a continuing story about the gods of nature on a parallel world, Eyidora. Haley, a 17 year-old girl raised on Earth, has discovered she is a descendant of the god of air. Haley's also key to stopping the war between the gods of nature; their war has created havoc on the weather on all the globes in the planetary chain.

That's one problem. The even larger problem is Ian, a descendant of the god of fire, who wants to take control of nature, burn the globes, and become a god.

While the series is fantasy in nature, the writing style is current...a pleasant mix of old-world speech and current teen-speak. The Eyidoran world is complex, yet easy to understand. The war brings out the worst in the weather, so while Haley and the other god descendants fight amongst each other, they also have to battle the elements.

Through the series, Haley's made some friends and some enemies. In Water over Blood, betrayals and secrets and lies all come to a head. People she loved, betray her. People she hated, defend her. All show their true colors at the end of this book. No one is who they seemed to be.

Deception runs deep. The truth can hurt. And in the end, Haley has to depend on herself.
