Huh. Urban fantasy can be a really mixed bag, but this one was a fun ride. If not for a bit of needless politically correct fluff thrown in, about how oppressive the patriarchal werewolves are to women and homosexuals, I might even consider this a new favorite. I will say I didn't expect the direction the ending went, but that may be just me being oblivious to subtle social signals sent by the characters along the way... Eventually I'll have to re-read the book and see if it makes more sense than I realized, but for now I'll just continue the series.booksthatburn's review

As the first book in the series, MOON CALLED establishes the presence of various supernatural factions such as werewolves, vampires, witches, fey, and Native American people like Mercy. It focuses on the current precarious position in which the werewolves find themselves; many of the lesser fae came out in a controlled manner several years ago, but the werewolves are an open secret in military circles. This sets up those groups and some of the relationships between them, including between Adam’s pack and the Marrok’s pack in the mountains. It also establishes Mercy’s history with Sam and her current position relative to Adam (living nearby and taking joy in simple pleasures, like annoying him with the car in her yard).
The plot revolves around a strange werewolf who shows up in town and then is attacked in Mercy’s presence, setting off a string of conflicts which involve kidnappings and an elaborate plan. It has some twists and turns but is pretty easy to follow. The meeting with the vampires has always felt a bit out of place in this story, but it’s serving to set up some things that’ll come into play later on. It’s a solid story with a lot of ground to cover, and it does it well. MOON CALLED is a great start to the series.
