A review by cozykrysti
Black Moon by Romina Russell

5.0

ZODIAC is one of those rare and special book series where each book that comes out seems to be even better than the last, WANDERING STAR certainly set a high bar, but BLACK MOON is my favorite yet. I fall more in love with this world, with these characters, and with the pulse-pounding romance with each book.

I am absolutely captivated by the premise of building an entire fictional world around the Zodiac signs. I actually had the immense pleasure of getting to attend the Penguin Teen Tour last night and listening to Romina drop some serious astrological knowledge. It was, quite frankly, impressive and certainly made me appreciate that element of the world-building even more.

One of my favorite things about these books is the villain, who becomes more mysterious and captivating as the story progresses. The Master's secretly widespread influence and following creates this environment in which you never know which characters you can and can't trust and drastically increases the tension in the story.

There are so many things I enjoyed about this book from the dedicated friendships, the brother/sister relationship, and the INTERGALACTIC BALL!!!! And I have to admit that I adore the romance. It is so swoony and captivating, and I just can't get enough of it.

I am thrilled that THIRTEEN RISING is coming out next month. I cannot wait to read what I'm sure will be a stunning conclusion to a series that I have enjoyed so much.
