A review by curls
Moonlight by Lisa Kessler
4.0
3.5 Stars. But since Goodreads doesn’t do half stars I’ll round up to 4 cause it was enjoyable enough.
Lana is an orphan (of course) on the run from some mysterious men trying to capture her. She stops at a diner and is approached by Adam, who calls her out on being a shifter. Lana doesn’t realize she’s a shifter, she passes out each new moon and wakes up naked in an unfamiliar place. Somehow she thinks that means she has some type of seizure disorder. I would have thought she was just going on a bender each full moon, but eh.
They cut to the chase that Lana is a jaguar shifter quickly. I appreciate that. I mean, I’ve read the back cover, I know this is a shifter book, don’t make me wait 100 pages for the main character to find out what I have known from the start.
There’s instalove between Adam and Lana because they are mates, and instaangst (is that a thing?) because he’s a wolf shifter and she’s a jaguar shifter. And they are mortal enemies, the pack won’t accept an outsider, etc.
My biggest question would be what their kids would look like? Would you get a mix of wolf and jaguar? What would that look like? Would they meow at the moon? But I guess in a world where people can turn to animals, that’s not too far off base.
It doesn’t cover any new ground in PNR, which probably means I need to switch to a new genre for a bit because everything is blurring together.
Maybe I’ll read a “serious” book, like a nonfiction or autobiography.
But probably not.
