The first book in this series was exciting and engaging, a great start for a new urban fantasy series.
This means I had high expectations when I started this one and it exceeded my expectations.
It's enganing, exciting and you cannot put it down.
I liked the development of the characters, the twists and turns in the plot, and the style of writing.
The world building was amazing and improved.
I look forward to reading the next instalment because I must know what comes next.
Highly recommended!
Many thanks to Harper Voyager Impulse and Edelweiss for this ARC

A Huge, Dynamite 5 Full Teacups for Stray Moon by Kelly Meding! I absolutely loved this book and not only was this a new author to me but also a new genre. The plot was so thick with intrigue and mystery, and Shiloh is truly an amazing heroine, she’s strong, independent and a dynamic fighter, vampires, werewolves, no problem, she can take em on!! I feel a lot of women will be able to relate to her!

Meding’s writing is impeccable, she writes a plot so thick and deep and twists that just come out of nowhere, she just keeps you turning the pages! Also, her character’s are so well-developed and each with such striking personalities. Truly a remarkable storyteller! I highly recommend Stray Moon, you will not be displeased!

Ok, things are getting interesting now. It will be interesting to see who Shiloh and her team's new "employer" is - I'm guessing a goddess and maybe even that dreaded goddess that created Damien, who now wants to reign in her "child" who has gotten out of control. Who knows but I certainly want to find out and will definitely continue with the series. I also enjoyed the addition of the new "teammates" as well as the new allies. If I could have given it 4.5stars, I would have.

I was given a digital copy of this title, free, in exchange for my honest opinion. 
This book picks up shortly after where book 1 ends. So if you have not read that one, do it.  I will try to not give any spoilers for Book 1, but I make no promises. 

Shiloh and the rest of her team are being questioned after the events of the last book.  In the middle of the questioning, she receives a request via astral projection from the California Para-marshal team to help find the missing werewolves that were discovered during the beginning of the Vampire case. So they are tangentially related. Giving a week of forced vacation, Shiloh and the other two members of her team left standing agree to help. But it leads them to a small town full of surprises and lies. 

I don't want to go into too much detail, because I don't want to give anything way.  But I will say that if you were like me and waiting for the next book, you  will not be disappointed.  The dynamics of the team -and character development - is still there, but it is also growing as you learn more about the team. There is so much to discover about them as an individual and as a whole team, and I found it fascinating.  Even as Shiloh rediscovers Jax- I thought that ti would be annoying with a lot of back and forth, but it wasn't. 

The case unravels in a pretty predictable way, until some truth bombs are discovered and then the  team realizes that the stakes are much higher than anticipated, but they dig in and stay focused. 

This books was so much fun and it revealed more of this world and more of what was going on behind the scenes. This is just the tip of the iceberg.  I have no idea how long this series is going to be, but I do know that I am her for it all.  Like the first book, Stray Magic, this case is completely wrapped up at the end of the story. But along the way the team has discovered some things that changes everything. The team that they once were is no longer, but their purpose is still the same so it shifts into a new team. I can't wait to see what happens in the next one!
