Ayla Hammond has come home.
After years as a lone wolf in a self-imposed exile she’s rejoining the pack and trying to mend fences with her parents.
She’s convinced them to accept her girlfriend, but can a lone wolf change her ways?
As if homecoming wasn’t hard enough, Ayla also can’t help getting involved in a missing person case.
With pressure to solve the case mounting from the pack alphas, Ayla is starting to question where her loyalties lie – and if a return to the pack she left behind is really what she wants.
REVIEW:
After cutting my teeth on the fifth book in this series, a story I gave 5 stars, I was excited to receive a review copy of Silver Moon.
Ayla and Shannon are fantastic characters. It’s nice to read about an established couple, they’ve been together 6 years, and even though they are solid, being a were-shifter and human couple that union is often tested. There are a number of side-characters in this story. Sous chef, Vince being one of my favorites.
This installment is full of mystery and suspense. The drug silver kiss is causing all kinds of havoc, the people distributing it need to be found and brought to justice! Watching everyone race to solve the crime, human and shifter working together, kept me turning the pages. I figured out who one of the baddies might’ve been, but never predicted the outcome.
The characters in wolf form were wonderful, I could picture the pack. My heart warmed at the playful moments, and broke when one was maimed! Shannon is a private investigator and her skills are certainly put to the test throughout the story. Both girls’ loyalties are put to the test for various reasons… reasons I’m not going to reveal in the name of a spoiler free review. To find out what becomes of this cast of, good and bad, characters you’ll need to get your hands on a copy of this story.
So as I said at the beginning I started with book 5. The plus side of that was even though I’d had a glimpse into their relationship, a very steamy one at that, I got to know so much more about their characters and became more invested in them. The downside, based on book 5 I expected more heat especially as Ayla and Shannon have been together for a number of years. However, I appreciate not every author throws their couple into erotic rapture in the first book of a series.
I recommend this to readers who enjoy urban fantasy, wolf shifters, mystery and suspense.
