I liked Savi and Colin (most the time- he had occasions of when he was horrible to Savi- to save her from herself- and idiocy) and the plot was interesting, it did get a bit slow in places and felt like Savi and Colin's relationship was going in circles.
Colin and Savi's relationship is frustrating though- something happened in Caelem but we're not told what for so long (we get a few flashbacks) and whatever happened is driving Savi's actions, it just makes it annoying trying to understand what's happening with only half the information. They are also both convinced that any relationship is doomed so are skirting around each other, pushing away and then bouncing back.
My biggest problem with Demon Moon though was the writing style, there's a lot of POV jumping and time seems to skip forward in places with no indication of it being a new scene so I found myself rereading paragraphs trying to figure out where the jump was. It was just a bit confusing.

I want to enjoy this series more than I currently am, the combination of Colin and Savi is vibrant and their sex scenes are absolutely scorching, however I'm having a lot of troubles with the pacing of the Demon series.
So much action, and for once I'm craving a bit of exposition and less text all at the same time. Apart from the core 4 I haven't really engaged with any of the other characters so I'm interested while at the same time slightly dreading the next instalments of this series.

I can't believe that I waited so long to read this book. I loved it. The story is so touching and at the same time sad, funny, and action filled. Anyone who is a fan of paranormal romance is going to love this. Colin and Savi are wonderfully rich characters whose interaction drives the story along. I am downloading the next in the series now.

You can feel the amount of love and care the author has poured into this book. A part of this book is basically a love letter to south asian culture, and it is just done so well. My love for this author is somehow more than it was before just for that. I imagine there were not many woc badass heroines being published at the time this was released. (Not that there's an overly large number now, but even including current publications, not many done this well.
Okay so I was confused at some parts and that is partially due to my impatience in wanting to find out what happens, and the pacing could probably be better...but that's basically it. Every other aspect of the book is commendable. There's so many layers here, of backstory, of the characters, of the world building. The descriptions alone...and I think I have said this before but this is such an underrated thing. Well established authors, many that I enjoy, idk why, maybe bc its easy or maybe the publisher required it, but they find a successful formula to writing a book and then never deviate from it. Recycled plots, recycled twists, the same point at which to expect conflict or a kiss. The same characters and character traits recycled and it's kind of sad?
I have read at least 8 books by this author, and not a single one has repetitive anything. Each and every single time, the characters are so uniquely different from before, and what's more amazing is that despite being so vastly different you find yourself falling for them and rooting for them anyway. And not only are the characters different but so are the obstacles they face, as is the plot in each book. This author is not out to make money off of a basic formula though she easily could.
Anyways I adored Savi and her brilliance, and her superpowered brain, and her love of family and her quickness to forgive. She was so freaking relatable I didn't know what to do with myself. And only Meljean Brook could make me love Colin as much as i did. Their journey was amazing and I almost feared they wouldn't get their hea. Seeing multiple glimpses of hugh and lillith also made me happy. Solid 4 stars

The characters are attractive. Savi is smart, curious and refuses to brood. I appreciate that. Colin is complex, insecure and arrogant, with a heart of gold that he'd rather hide. Also, handsome, very handsome. Their attraction is interesting. Brook's worldbuidling is also interesting, and complex. I like books or series' with big story arcs, this is a part of the epic - though, in this case the complexity is often confusing. Not just the world building , but even in the action from scene to scene.
A good story - and with some adjustments it could have been really really good.

This was very interesting, but also hard to follow in places. I think I might have rated it higher if I had reread Hugh and Lilith's book.

Second in the Guardians series, this book didn't live up to its predecessor. I was ready to go back to the world of guardians and demons but this book was a chore to read. I think in large part it stems from the fact that I really couldn't become invested in Savi and Colin. The book sets them up as a sort of Romeo and Juliet and yet the conflicts between them seemed almost trivial at times.
