A review by astraeal
Aspen in Moonlight by Kelly Wacker
4.0
I really enjoyed this story, the chemistry between Sula and Melissa was the best of the book, but other aspects such as lots of nature (flora and fauna), interesting characters (art historian Melissa who was kind and fascinated by everything which make me like her very much since the beginning, and Sula (aka mountain woman) who can shift into a bear), and all the research about the paintings and their history behind made me feel like I was into the story myself.
Like I said, Melissa and Sula's relationship was my favourite part of this book, they're just so great together, they fit and I was not bored one moment with them. I wish there would have been more time for the Big Reveal at the end, I was waiting for it since the beginning and how it happened did not disappoint me but I would have prefered more time talking about it, and especially more time of Sula in bear form.
While I really liked this book, there's one thing that just didn't sit well with me and it's how Melissa, after learning two women were lovers immediately said they were lesbians even though one of them had a husband after. What she said about it could be right, I don't know, she doesn't really either, but the fact that is was either straight or gay like there's no inbetween really left me that big bad impression.
