Promise the Moon by Hailey Edwards
4.0
Argh, I had mixed feelings about the last series from Hailey Edwards, the Gemini Series and so although I requested this book, the first in a new series from NetGalley I was a little reluctant to start reading. I needn't have worried - this had me hooked from start to finish.
Adele (Dell) Preston is the Beta of the newly formed Lorimar Pack which is singlehandedly fighting the fae who are breaking the barrier between Faerie and earth. When her alphas are called to a Conclave meeting Dell is left alone to manage the pack, test potential new recruits, develop some camaraderie between what is essentially a pack of misfits, find some money to pay for all the pack needs and build a new pack facility. Add to that mix a sexy Warlock who has been flirting with her for months, missing restaurateurs and the return of Dell's mate (although it has to be said the male in question does not seem to share Dell's feelings) and this is one big adventure from start to finish.
I loved Dell, she bears the weight of the world on her shoulders and she is desperate to make her alphas proud, she makes strong friendships, she's funny and she accepts a job investigating the mysterious disappearances from a small child. As always, there are a wild variety of weird and unusual fae, both good and bad, and an intriguing cliffhanger for the second book.
I think Hailey Edwards has reverted to some of her best writing/ plotting with this book and I avidly look forward to the next one.
I received a free copy of this novel from the publisher via NetGalley in return for an honest review.
