3.64 AVERAGE


Forsaken by Larissa Ione is a short but interesting read/listen.  This is book 2.5 in the Moonbound Clan series. I have had this on my kindle for some time now, but recently got the chance to read it.  


This installment introduces Lobo and Teyah. Lobo is a 120-year-old vampire who is also a skin walker. He can shift into any living form, be it human or animal. A former member of the Moonbound Clan, banned for shifting into the form of another clan member. Since then he has been wandering the woods and living a lonely existence.  That all changed when he rescued a wolf, that was injured and on the brink of starvation. She became his constant companion for 12 years.


What he did not know is that Teyah was no ordinary wolf. 


I found Lobo to be an intriguing character. His protective nature led him to take a great risk to save Teyah’s life. A risk that would pay off in the end.


Teyah proved a fascinating character. Loyal and fiercely protective of Lobo. She showed courage in the face of danger.


Despite, this being a short read, the story packed a punch. There was sufficient romance, action and heat to keep me glued to the pages.


The fluidity of the story made it easy to follow. I loved the world building, which made me realised how much I missed this series.  I curious to know if there are plans to continue the series. The good thing about this, there is no need to read the previous books prior to reading this installment. 


Narration

Amy Landon narrated the story. This is my first time listening to her work and I enjoyed every moment. She did a good job with the narration. Her pace and tone fit the story well.

I read till the very end. I struggled with parts of it but I finished. I feel like a champion indeed.

It was an okay read.

I am not a stranger to Larissa Ione, but not as well read in this series as I should be, but that didn't stop me from diving right in to this novella.
Forsaken by the Night is a novella in the Moonbound Vampire clan books and the 3rd story of love. I was totally unaware that this was a series when I dived in and I can tell you it didin''t take away from the story plot at all. We meet Lobo who was banished from Moonbound for more or less being what he is, which is a skinwalker and when his wolf that he has cared fro for 12 years in injured, he does what he promised he'd never do again to save her. Then, she wakes up human and all sorts of crazy just happens afterwards.
This story was chocked full of info but not in overpowering way, but in small doses. I was intrigued by the other characters in the story and went back and got the fist two and read those. After having read all three, this is a great little move along piece to whet fans appetite for the next book in the series!

Un tome intéressant, j'ai beaucoup aimé le personnage de Lobo.
La romance, bien que rapide, est cherchée et prenante. Le tout est ainsi bien fourni, malgré la petite taille du bouquin.
Si vous aimez la série, n'hésitez pas !

I positively adore Larissa Ione’s Demonica series. I read the first five books – those from the main Demonica arc before segueing into the Lords of Deliverance series – back to back, and I cannot wait to continue on. In addition to wanting to read the rest of the Demonica series, I was super interested in reading some of Larissa Ione’s other novels. One such series to interest me was the MoonBound Clan Vampires series.

On Larissa Ione’s website, she mentions how there is to be a big delay between Chained by Night and the next MoonBound Clan Vampires book as she is planning to release the next three back to back. I’m all for books being released in rapid succession, but as I’m not a fan of long waits, I decided to delay reading this series until closer to the time of release.

However, when I picked up Blood Red Kiss to read Kresley Cole’s The Warlord Wants Forever, I found myself treated to Forsaken by Night. I told myself not to read this novella, to leave this two-point-five book alone until I was able to read it in order… yet Larissa Ione. I needed more, and I found myself diving in.

Although I have not read Bound by Night or Chained by Night, I found Forsaken by Night really easy to follow. I could see where I would have enjoyed the experience more through having read the prior two books – the relationship between Nicole and Riker and the relationship between Aylin and Hunter would be explained, along with certain referenced events and the abilities of the supernatural creatures – but this also works well as a standalone novel. In fact, I enjoyed it so much a part of me is tempted to grab Bound by Night and start the series even though there is quite a wait for the next book.

As with my other Larissa Ione reads, I found this to be thoroughly addictive. I was quickly pulled into the world, the storyline, and the characters, wanting more with every page. Although it was just a small insight into the series, I gained so much from this one. Our main characters were positively wonderful, yet I also found myself enjoying the side characters. The storyline was intriguing, and the underlying story arc relate to the main series has left me curious. The world was a lot of fun, and I’m excited to see how it all comes together in a full-length novel. If the main books in the series contain what this book did – action, amazing characters, a great romance, and wonderful steamy scenes – then I’m sure I’m going to love the MoonBound Clan Vampires series.

Without a doubt, I’m looking forward to diving into the MoonBound Clan Vampires series in the future.
