"Excellent Prequel. Can't wait for more"
I really enjoyed this prequel to the Moon rising Series. At the beginning, you meet Mena as she comes to the conclusion she must leave her husband because he's been cheating on her. He turns a bit nasty and she goes. As she drives, she sees a large group of animals. Not trusting her ability to drive, she pulls into a motel and soon she's tumbling headlong into the discovery that vampires and werewolves exist.
I don't want to spoil the story but she certainly becomes embroiled in the paranormal world in a big way. When she decides she wants to end a centuries-old feud between the vampires and the werewolves, well, she's going to have her work cut out.
This is a short prequel and it really is only meant to whet your appetite. But it will. You'll be hankering for more and desperate to know what happens between Mena and Phonix and between the wolves and the vampires.
The characters are interesting and the world is exciting. While not a particularly new take on the paranormal world, the characters are slightly older and Mena particularly is a little jaded with life so it brings a new perspective from the usual peppy chick who grabs the idea of the paranormal with both hands. She accepts it quite readily, which I would normally be sceptical about but somehow with Mena, she seems like a woman that takes everything in stride.

As for the narration, I wasn't entirely sure of the narrator at first but she did get into the book and I got used to her voice. I have to say that I felt the same at the start of book two. It may be that the author uses a lot of short sentences to set the scene and the narrator's voice doesn't lend itself to that. But if you don't like her style right off the bat, persevere. It's worth it for this gem of a book and the narration does improve.
I can't wait to get stuck into the rest of this series. I absolutely loved this prequel.
