I liked book 1 a lot. I was surprised at the relationship between Kali and Stone because they are taught not to like each other. In this book he is sneaking to see her and I was so scared for most of the book that they would get caught and Kali would be hurt by Talon. Their relationship takes a sexy turn and really heats up. I was upset that made her feel bad but it was for the best. I can't wait to see how they work out being together.
The last page left me so hopeful. So hopeful in fact that if this was the last book, I would still be okay with how the series ended.
There are a few side stories to this series that I hope are fleshed out. Eris and Gideon, I would like to know more about. The Thralls, I can't wait to learn more about along with Kali's research. I still want to know more about the hematite and its effect on magic.
I got this ARC from Inkitt

Breach drops us where Incursion ends: at Whitewater Bastion, the location both Kali and Stonewall had been dreading, because it would mean the end of their forbidden romance. No longer isolated, the two have to decide if they can still have a relationship.
As the pool of characters expands, so do their private struggles to find love in a crazy world. Not only is the representation diverse, so are the love stories. Drama knows no boundaries! I loved getting deeper into the headspace of the wide cast, as well as the deepening relationship between Kali and Stonewall.

Have you ever read a series and the second book is so much better than the first one? Actually, so much better that you have to reread the review you wrote on book one to make sure its the same book. That is the case with Catalyst Moon: Breach. I remember reading Incursion and thinking that it was that a bit boring and a little vague. So when I requested this book from Inkitt, I was expecting the same. So, I was thrilled when I started reading the book and could get into it.
Breach starts a few weeks (or a month or so, it didn’t say) after the events of Incursion. Kalinda hasn’t been in touch with Stonewall since he brought her to Whitewater City. She starts the painful task of healing her knee. She is also waiting for Stonewall to return from his mission. She hopes that they will pick up where they left off. But there is an undercurrent of unrest and unease at the bastion. The mysterious Assembly has been stealing all of the hematite. They have been doing it with help from the Sufani, a Gypsy like people. The sentinels are jonesing for their next fix and it is beginning to show within ranks. Meanwhile, a group of mages are planning to break free of Whitewater City. They are prepared to do whatever they need to do to escape. Also, the thralls and the Canderi are coming more often and in greater numbers. Add all that together and it made for a very good and suspenseful read.
The romance between Stonewall and Kalinda was a lot better in this book. You knew that they were together almost from the beginning. I did feel that it was taking on a Romeo and Juliet type romance. I almost wanted to start quoting Shakespeare when he was sneaking into her room. But, it isn’t Romeo and Juliet. Not by a long shot. It is a forbidden romance between a sentinel and a mage and as with all forbidden things, it gets found out.
The storylines are merged towards the end of the book. It made for a very fast paced read. I swear, I held my breath for most of the ending. I will tell everyone that there is no happy ending for this book. The way this book ended, I am looking forward to reading book 3.
My Summary for Catalyst Moon: Breach: 4 stars
Catalyst Moon: Breach is a fast paced, action filled fantasy romance. I felt that it was a step up from Incursion and it did not suffer from the sophomore slump. It had characters that were flushed out and plotlines that were not vague. A book that I enjoyed reading and I cannot wait to read book 2.
Will I reread: Yes
Will I recommend to family and friends: Yes
Age range: Older teen
Why: Sexual situations (characters have sex but no details are given) and violence. No language.
I would like to thank Lauren L. Garcia and Inkitt for allowing me to review Catalyst Moon: Breach
