This was again a fabulous addition to the Soulwood series. Nell is coming into her own after having a rough few years. She is a strong protagonist and I love how she can manipulate people by using the "church lady" persona. I like Nell because she has a lot of common sense and she uses it. She's relatable. Her magic is of the land and grows like the land would grow.

This book developed more of the PsyLed connections than anything. Occum has moved up in her estimation and I delved into Ricky Bo's past a little more. I have to admit that I do feel sorry for the guy even though he broke Jane Yellowrock's heart. The story also involved some of Jane Yellowrock and alluded to things going on in her world. Things that will be coming up, I'm sure.

I loved this series as soon as I started reading them. Nell is a character that has flaws. She loves with her whole heart but she also has a pretty hot temper. I know I wouldn't want to do wrong by her! This is a total 5 star book.

I feel like I need to read the Skinwalker series to catch everything that is happening here.

CIRCLE OF THE MOON ended up being my favorite installment of the Soulwood series yet. Weeks later and I'm still thinking about the story and wanting to read more.

Nell has evolved so much since we first met her in the Jane Yellowrock series. I admit that when I started reading the Soulwood series I didn't fully connect to her, but over the course of 4 books I have really gotten to love her character and the way she thinks and works.

Not only has Nell evolved as a character, but her relationships with her team and Occam have grown as well. They all work well together and the romance between Occam and Nell is getting mighty interesting. I thought at first their slow progress would be frustrating, but it hasn't been and every step they take is a breath of fresh air.

We get quite a bit closer to Rick with every Soulwood installment. CIRCLE OF THE MOON has drawn me closer to him. We learn about and meet the person behind a lot of his bad luck and troubles in book 4.

CIRCLE OF THE MOON made me fall more in love with all the characters and the world they live in. I'm excited to see what will happen next with the storyline.

I love these characters I love the story line for the most part. I don't love how ever problem revolves around Rick's personal problems!!!!
I didn't read the Jane yellow rock series and may never will. So it feels very random to have so many references to things that happen in that series. And it's F-ing annoying!!!
