A review by fortysomethingsci
Luna Witch by Willow Hadley

5.0

In the next installment of Cricket Kendall, we get a glimpse of life right after her birthday party and subsequent engagement (I sure hope you read the last one, or that would have been a spoiler…). At first I wasn’t sure where the story was going… I was wondering what would be the climax… but I quickly realized that the Cricket Kendall series is a wonderful lazy river, with a few swift exciting parts. Ms. Hadley is building a beautiful world and solid characters. This book brought a lot of forgiveness on Cas’s part and a lot of bubblegum sweet talk between Cricket and her guys. In all, I give this a solid 4.5. It’s building up to the Mabon meeting and their mating ceremony. They are building their pack, and I can’t wait to see what happens with some of the auxiliary characters as well- When will Cricket build her support circle, and who will be in it? What will happen with Brennan’s relationship(s) there are a lot of options here. Ms Hadley does a thorough job of being inclusive with her characters. In this installment, we have a non-binary character (briefly) and several gay characters as well-I’m rooting for their relationships just as much as anyone else. This book felt like a settling in of the story, and that there will be larger conflicts in later books. If you need a break from any dark RH story, and need something to help lighten your mood- this series is it. It’s a wonderful palette cleanser.
