Rainbow Book Reviews
This second story in the ‘Moon Maidens’ series places Misty, a friend of Raya's from book one, front and center. So I am back in the community with shifter folk, weres, and vampires. There has been an uneasy truce among these three not very compatible groups. Toss in one really nasty, sneaky slimeball and the balance that was in place starts to disintegrate. However, another interspecies love affair provides quite a bit of heat and energy to try to bring this community back into a healthy equilibrium. Beautiful! Misty really enjoys her wolf mode. She gets to thoroughly relish racing through the countryside and she is a very effective combatant when she is shifted. One gorgeous night, she inadvertently breaks up a disturbing assault where the victim is severely injured. Misty is instrumental in getting the injured party's wounds immediate attention and then transport to the local special hospital. Misty senses an extremely amplified attraction to the victim which is greatly intensified since she is needed as a blood donor to solidify the recovery process. The ardency of this link is frankly beyond words. Additionally, this union adds an important re-bonding between two of three sub populations. The die has been cast. Intriguing! Sofya is the victim of the interrupted vampire assault. She is confused, but feels her understanding has been compounded by her father keeping her a somewhat in the dark about some important information. Furthermore, she is rather overwhelmed by an intense sexual buzz coming from her desire for her protector. How and why that sensation is plaguing her on multiple levels takes a bit of time to completely unravel. Nevertheless, those feelings supply a new super-heightened stimulus for someone outside her familial group. Uh-oh! Possibly because her equipoise has been troubled, Sofya's sense of stability takes a major hit in relationship to Misty. Their joining seems almost doomed before it has a chance to gel. Devastation! Will fences be mended in time to solve the mystery that flows from the first book of this series, ‘Moon Dance’ through the conclusion of ‘Moon Bound’? I suggest you read the first book; it is not essential but it will enrich your enjoyment. These two short stories were quite endearing and provocative providing a delightfully winning combination from my viewpoint. Mesmerizing!
