Moonstruck by Lauren Dane
3.0
Moonstruck (Diablo Lake #1) was an interesting story. I really liked the idea of a town steeped in magic and the paranormal. Shifters, werewolves and witches living together in harmony...or were they???
Jace and KM, the main characters, had a hot and spicy relationship. It sizzled a bit when they were younger and later at their reunion of sorts, it began blazing anew. Though these two had insane chemistry and a bond that defied naysayers, their coming together seemed rushed, in a sense. They had a lust to love thing happening big time. Still, by the end of the story, things clicked into place.
Because this was the first book in the Diablo Lake series, a lot of background information about the town, the werewolf clans, the witches, the political strife, the power struggles, and even more was revealed. It was pretty heavy getting through it. The hanging threads were placed fairly well though.
This book had colorful characters who proved to be passionate about what they were passionate about. I found it humorous that they all loved food so much. What was that about? All in all, there was just enough texture and variety with the people in Moonstruck to keep me somewhat intrigued.
