REVIEW:
What a wonderful paranormal romance novel! I really enjoyed New Moon. The story is very well written with characters you want to invest in. I loved the mystery, action, and romance throughout the story. This is a standalone novel as I read it without never having read anything else by this author. With that being said, there are characters and events that I feel had their own book. While it did not take away from the book, it did make me want to go read those other books.
The plot of this story is one that caught my attention.
Sebastian is a cold hearted killer. An assassin for his father. Isabelle is
trying to save her wolf pack. When she meets Sebastian she plans to kill him,
but something wicked happens instead. The main theme I feel is redemption and
trust. Seriously an amazing plot written very well. I loved all the action and
reluctance in this story.
The characters were written just as well as the plot.
Sebastian is a wonderful character. He was raised to be the way he is. On one
hand, he wants to follow orders, while on the other hand he wants to escape the
situation that he is in. Then you have Isabelle. She has her own issues. She
feels she cannot trust anyone. At points she cannot even trust herself. Both of
these characters have a lot of self-reflection to do to see if they can become
better than what they are or follow down the same path they have been
following.
The heat in this book is palpable. While there is a lot of
action and violence in this book, there is also plenty of moments where the
author slows it down and shows us the budding attraction between the two main
characters. There seems to be an instant
romance, but don’t let that deter you. Not everything is always as it seems.
The author has a slow build up to bring the characters to where they need to
be.
The writing style of this author is easy to read. The book
is set in a modern day America, so it is easily understandable. The pace is
steady with a lot of action and build up. The climax of the book is just what
the story needs. Honestly, I could not find anything about this book I didn’t
enjoy.
Overall, this was a wonderful paranormal shifter novel. I
thoroughly enjoyed the action and romance included. I do plan to go and find
more books by this author and hopefully get to read more about some of the
minor characters and events mentioned in this book. I would recommend this book
to others. Amazing job!
