Good Read, Engaging Characters ~ Excerpt of review by lovetoread
The characters were dark, but likable. I wasn't sure who to trust, and throughout the book I kept wondering who the good and bad guys/women were, and I loved that! I hate a generic/predictable story. I liked the chemistry between Skyler, Josh, and his brother Ethan. I couldn't decide which one I would rather have her end up with. I went back and forth a few times trying to decide if I wanted her to end up with the sexy witch or the ruthless wolf with questionable ethics.
Most books, I can predict what will happen and they usually have a stock happy ending. Moon Tortured didn't give you that, but it offered a very satisfying read with an unexpected ending that left me wanting the next book to be available.
Book Description:
Skylar’s death came not at the end, after a long fulfilling existence, not in the middle, as a result of an untimely tragic event—but at the beginning, with her birth.
As a final effort to save her dying unborn child, Skylar’s pregnant mother, a witch, sacrificed herself by invoking a powerful spirit shade to inhabit Skylar’s body, imbuing her with life. For twenty-three years, Skylar lived a life of oblivion, content with her simple job, loving adoptive mother and the monthly inconvenience of a full moon hangover after being sedated and caged when she changed into a wolf. It wasn’t exciting but it was her life until one night, she woke up in a strange room in the middle of rural Illinois—bruised and with jumbled memories of her mother’s death from a vampire attack. The Midwest pack comes to her rescue. Known for being more ruthless than altruistic she doesn’t know if she can trust them.
But after an assassination attempt by a necromancer, an abduction attempt by a mercenary, and more aggressive and violent attacks by the vampires, she has no other choice but to accept their help. The Midwest pack quickly discover that Skylar is the host to a spirit shade, who gives her magical abilities, that make her as much of a danger as an asset and that she is the key to the vampires’ plan to perform a ritual that will give them unrestricted power. Tension rises as the pack become divided between those who think her life is worth protecting as a potential ally and those who believe she is too dangerous to live. In the end, Skylar finds herself fighting for her life—a life that may be tragically taken too soon.
A Must Read! ~ By Tndix10
“I really appreciated the plot development and good solid writing. It was also a breath of fresh air to see that not everyone needed to be "coupled up", or have a" love interest", like in most Urban Fantasy books. This book focused more on getting to know the characters and their non romantic relationships with each other. I give it two thumbs up!”
