Marked by Moonlight Moon Chasers Book 1 Sharie Kohler Books

I just finished the second book in this series. After reading this one I wouldn't have started the second but I promised to give it to someone else.

This was good to OK, definitely not very original. The beginning and a bit of the middle seemed to drag on. I was wanting the story to progress or something to happen. The romance was marred by misunderstanding and general miscommunication. And the sex was marred by fighting the attraction and then kicking oneself once the couple gives in to the urges. Kind of typical in many romance to keep the sex scenes valid but didn't move me.

The one thing that redeemed the story was the twist and introduction of the lycan who controls his urges and doesn't feed, Darius. He was the most interesting character in the book. Unluckily you only get a little of him in the next book.

I did like Claire as she changes and grows out of her shell. She finally starts standing up for herself, though again she berates herself for it afterwards. Gideon seems real as he struggles with his conscience. But again this drags and repeats.

At the end, I had mixed feelings. The story was overall good, not great, with a definite dragging and then it seemed to end a bit abruptly. There were interesting points in the story but not enough to call it a great paranormal romance.

To read a great paranormal romance, look to Nalini Singh's psy-changlings, Kresley Cole's Immotals After Dark, and even really good Paranormal Romance like, Gena Showalter's Lord's of the Underworld, Alyssa Day's Atlantis Rising series, and Alexis Morgan's Paladin's of Darkness. This book is not up to the caliber of those at all.

Marked by Moonlight Moon Chasers Book 1 Sharie Kohler Books Reviews

This was one I hated to put down and didn't want to end. Great story and characters. A real page turner. Terrific action and dialog between Claire and Gideon. The love scenes are HOT! I especially liked the character, Darius, an ancient lycan who survives without killing, giving Claire and Gideon hope for a normal future together...well, as normal as a lycan and human can be. Darius wants Claire for himself but when Claire is endangered, the two rivals join forces to rescue her. Darius has a wicked, rye sense of humor and I hope to see him again. You will be surprised at many points in this book.
So, I'm a major fan of urban fantasy books. I'm not going to write a summary, but I will tell you my thoughts about the book.

The characters Enjoyable, only a moderate amount of annoying thrown in.
The plot Thought out, engaging, but a little predictable.
The romance A little odd. I mean it's predictable, but it's also a little annoying. Something about their relationship irked me.

Overall, this book was enjoyable. I finished it in a few days, but I'm not thrilled about the next installment. I liked it, but I'm not in love with it enough to continue on.
I picked this up as it was recommended by Kresley Cole. I'm a huge fan of Cole's so thought I would give it a try. For me, there was nothing extraordinary about the book. The heroine wasn't my favorite. There were the typical misunderstandings that could be cleared up with a conversation, if anyone bothered.

My favorite part of the book was probably Darius. Without spoiling anything, he was an interesting character with depth and he's the only thing that would have made me consider continuing the series. But, unless the next book is free and I happen to catch it, I don't think I will continue. It looks like Darius' book isn't the next one so I'm probably done with this series.

It's not a terrible read, just unremarkable for me.
I'm less than halfway through this book, and here are the "lessons" I've learned from it
1. If you had an abusive childhood, it will take a monumental life-changing event to break out of the behavior patterns developed as a defense mechanism.
2. Even if your pheromones are raging (not something under conscious control), and the antagonist can get a beeline on them, the fact that the antagonist attempts to *rape* you is because you are "putting yourself out there" because of WHAT YOU WORE. Even if it's a halter top and low-cut jeans.
And here's the real lesson Do not buy or read 99-cent books.
