I could not wait to jump into another series, and this was worth the wait! Exciting, fast paced, hot scenes...all we expect from Ms.Banks!

Just finished reading this. I read it in high school and it took forever to be able to find it again. It did take me 14 days to finish it as I just kind of didn't want to read. The last two days I have read 200 of the pages. I forgot how much I loved this book and why it has bugged me for so long. Demons, werewolves, vampires, shaman, and so much more. Government agencies and military politics. I seriously believe this book has a little bit of everything for everyone. I recommend this book to anyone looking for the above mentioned as well as for any romance lover, strong female lead.

I'm ever so glad I finally took the time to read this book. Although I felt the story skipped around and jumped a bit, it was intriguing enough for me to continue to the next.

I have never hidden my extreme love for Shifters, they are my favorite supernatural race followed by Vampires, taking a close second. The Crimson Moon series by L.A. Banks is all about the Shifter/Weres for me. Well, there are Vampires, Fae and a lot of other supernatural races, but for me is still all about the Shifters LOL.
Sasha Trudeau works for the government in a super secret team of Werewolves, working to eliminate terrorists. Well, they do have all the Werewolf ups, but they do not shift, because shifting means something went wrong. Means they have been taken by the rage and they need to be put down, so not shifting is good, right? When Sasha meets a man called Hunter claiming to be a Shadow Wolf, she realizes that the supernatural world is much more than she previously thought.
I LOVE L.A. Banks’ Crimson Series! I confess that I was bit overwhelmed and confused by the world building in the beginning, but after you get a grip on all the supernatural people and the different types of wolves, you get a chance to enjoy an awesome Urban Fantasy series with non-stop action and a great romance at it’s center.
There are the Shadow wolves {Native American origin} and there are the Werewolves {Asian origin}. The Shadow wolves are able to move through the shadows and Demon realms, but they need the protection of a special stone to keep from being attacked by Demon-infected wolves. Both Shadow Wolves and Werewolves can be infected and this one of the main problems that Sasha, Hunter and her team need to deal with. The mythology behind the shifter races is so unique in my opinion and one of my favorite things about this great series.
I love the cast of characters that make up this series. From Sasha’s team, to Hunter’s pack and including their allies the Fae, Crimson Moon is full of awesome characters that bring this amazing world L.A. Banks has created.
The Crimson Moon series is sure to please many Urban Fantasy fans out there and if you haven’t read it yet, you totally should! I can’t wait for the next installment in this brilliant series!

I've had this entire series on my shelf for years and I finally got around to it. Unfortunately, turns out it wasn't my cup of tea. Starting with the prologue I didn't really like the writing style from the get-go but decided to give it more time. After 2 more chapters I decided to put it in the DNF bin. The heavy military / conspiracy set-up simply wasn't for me and now I regret buying the whole series before reading the first book lol

Quick read (obviously)... Decent story. Reminds me a bit of the Riley Jensen series by Keri Arthur. Seeing as how I already have the whole series out from the library, I'll keep reading. :)

The story's fast-moving and tons of fun, but the writing style is overwrought and unsubtle, and the book has some of the worst sex scenes I've ever read.
