Dr who tooth and claw He lives with his awesome Wifey their lovable puppy Vixen and under the watchful gaze of their cat overlords Lana and Gayle Honestly he has far too many hobbies for one man to hold down sensibly site_link In 2016 The Rising shattered the status quo Creatures who for centuries had been considered the creation of myths legends fables and fairytales turned out to be frighteningly real In just a few months our world was irrevocably changed forever Rumor was the Vampyrii started it Tired of living incognito amongst us they instigated a supernatural war between the Vampire races and Humanity Humans became the hunted Killed turned or enthralled in huge numbers as the Vampyrii took much of the United States of America and claimed it for their own They call it New Victus The Werewolves fought them resisting their attacks along the former Canadian border The Great White North is now known as Pack Nation and is a Werewolf controlled territory The remnants of the American and Canadian people now live on a slender piece of the West Coast holding the San Andreas line They call themselves the North American Alliance and they want their countries back But The Rising was a worldwide phenomenon not simply localized in North America Across the Atlantic in Europe the situation was dire until old magic the Fae intervened and put an end to the war The damage however had already been done Russia went dark Incommunicado They were abruptly segregated from western Europe by a new mountain range that appeared overnight rud to be the doing of the Trolls and Ice Giants who now govern the state of NordScania in partnership with Humans Africa was overrun and annexed by the feral Vampire races who had long been legends in those countries It is the one place where the war still rages South America descended into feudal chaos now run by corrupt crime lords All except the tiny Independent State of Rio de Janeiro which walled itself off from the rest of the continent The other nations of Europe came together as one united entity the Federated States of Europa Its capital nation is the United Kingdom which now hides securely behind enormous coastal walls known as The Bulwarks As the Middle East descended into chaos Japan and China closed their borders altogether They rarely play on the world stage In the final days of the war before the ceasefire Iceland became a disputed territory between the Vampyrii Werewolf and Human nations each claiming a third At the point where their claimed territories met a settlement was established Over the decades since it grew to become Nexus City perhaps the most important place on Earth Neutral ground A place where all the new factions of the world could come together in peace to discuss their grievances rather than solve them with violence This time of peace has lasted an uneasy three decades The year is 2045 and everything is about to change again TOOTH and CLAWHow hard would you fight for your friends Your family Your freedom Would you lay it all on the line Would you fight tooth and claw Deep in her heart she always knew it would come to this From the moment Lyssa Balthazaar decided to free New Victus from the tyrannical grip of Sebastian StormHall she knew it would end in civil war Yet the coming conflict won t be contained to just Vampyrii against Vampyrii In Pack Nation Werewolf leader Damian Dane must balance his responsibilities to his people with the oath he swore to protect humanity In London Gayle Knightley and Michael Reynolds are dismissing the cadets at the Human Fae Alliance Academy for the Christmas holidays Looking forward to a quiet festive season with family they too are drawn into the conflict Tooth and Claw The Ballad of the Songbird 3 It s just ridiculous how good Jon Ford s books are The first two books in the series were already excellent now we have the third book Tooth and Claw and once again it s a real page turner Continuing the storyline from the Ballad of the Songbird series we catch up with the characters who survived the events of Blood To Earth as well as meeting some exciting new people Continuing with the intrigue we have come to love with the series Jon Ford weaves another tapestry of mystery with amazing action scenes and plenty of humour Add to that the ever expanding world building that hints at future books and you re left gasping at the shocks in the book and wanting to read the next one immediately Shame we have to wait for it really 1957474009 It s just ridiculous how good Jon Ford s books are The first two

wanting to read the next one immediately Shame we have to wait for it really 1957474009 Excellent progression in the story very satisfying The characters remain vibrant and believable The story propels you forward it was also nice that events that would normally lead to chapters of uncertainly and conflict were resolved quickly with forgiveness that felt genuine Maybe I could have done without the sex scenes but that s probably just me Overall I m excited to see where the series goes 1957474009 Review to come 1957474009 I am totally hooked on Jon Ford s Ballad of the Songbird series and Tooth and Claw is my favorite so far To say that it s fast paced and action packed doesn t do it justice because this book will quite literally keep you on the edge of your seat. Tooth and clawvenus If you ve read Hunters and Blood to Earth you re now very familiar with the characters in the series and the issues they face In Tooth and Claw all of that political tension comes to a head the characters come together in a way we haven t seen them do to this point and many questions are answered With Lyssa s plans to overthrow the StormHall regime on the cusp of being enacted the bad actors still have tricks up their sleeves that cause curveballs galore Nothing is as it seems right down to the Nexus Summit bombing from Hunters Within this story Ford has interwoven multiple mysteries some of which find a conclusion in this book and some that continue on for the next book in the series As always Ford s world building is eloquent and subtle We get a clear picture of his people and places without the endlessly boring exposition other fantasy authors use to bog down their stories While this is a large book there is nothing unnecessary in it and every moment will have you turning the page for Tooth and Claw has the celebration of victory the agony of defeat twists turns and the kind of cliffhangers that will make you say Just one chapter until you ve devoured it 1957474009
