squirrelfish 's review for:

Moonshadow by Thea Harrison

4.0

---

Strong heroine who calls the tall, handsome, dark elf hero on his shit. She's a modern American mostly human woman with unique and strong magical powers. He's a warrior who has been fighting a losing war for centuries. He is bossy and she just doesn't take it. I love Thea Harrison because she writes real and strong female characters. This is a great example of that. There are other conflicts in the story, but both of the characters are pretty kickass and they kick the requisite ass. I'm not clear on whether the rest of the trilogy will continue to have them as major characters or if it'll focus on other characters introduced in this story. I'm definitely interested in getting the stories of some of the other characters, but if this is it for this couple .. well it felt short and a little unfulfilling. I was sorry about some of the potential plot lines not getting fully developed and thought the heroine and the house needed some more attention, or at least had potential that wasn't fully realized. Also, I want some backstory on her injuries and... see? I really liked the character and just wanted a bunch more of her. Overall, very enjoyable read - a sweet fast romance with a good bit of world building(in a world that's already fairly developed in Harrison's Elder Races series).

I got an ARC for agreeing to post my review, but the contents of this review are my own.
