My review of Crescent Bound by Karli RushRating 5*****This book was provided free from the author in exchange for honest literary review.A Little Bit of R&R; review panel review by Michelle McQueenAlyssa has led very different life from most of us humans.  She was born into a family of Royal witches.  She prefers drag racing to going out and having typical teen age fun. To beat it all her boyfriend of two years has dumped her just months before she starts her senior year of high school.As has happened all her life, her family once again has relocated to a small town in Montana.  As witches do not age like most, it makes living in one town for long periods of time impossible.  This small town happens to change Alyssa's whole life.  Marcas is the hometown hero.  Up until his senior year he was the biggest sports star in town.  Now Alyssa is the only sport he seems to be chasing.  Since he came into the picture, Alyssa can't think straight.  She knows that there can be no life for her with a human, yet her fire affinity calls to Marcas.  What can she do?This book is absolutely hot.  The romances are steamy, but it actually fits in the story without seeming trashy.  True to nature, the author explains how witches see sexuality as an extension of nature not the taboo subject mortals tend to see it as.  The spellwork done by the witches also follow some of the properties of the herbs used. I love that the author included that.  There is a little bit of everything in this novel.  The action is very fast paced. It flows well without being junky or cluttered and confusing.  Next the romance is steamy between Marcas and Alyssa.  I happen to love the fact that Alyssa is a true kick but lead female.  She is almost fearless, which only adds to my love of this character.  I am glad that this is a series, because the ending left me wanting more.....This book is a mature audience book.Would I recommend this to others? yes.  ALso I am looking forward to rereading this one when the series complete.  Great work from this autho!
