Moon-Linked is a interesting take on the werewolf/lycanthropy genre. March is a 15 year old girl going through many changes in her life. She's forced into adulthood within a remarkably short amount of time, dealing with physical changes and psychological ones, while being confronted about the paranormal aspects in her life. The concepts in Moon-Linked are very intriguing, but there are some issues with the character building.March seems to be overly nave, not even knowing what menstruation is or that her dog isn't really a dog. Some of the other characters don't seem to ring true to how teenagers/young adults are; even the adults are iffy at times. YA audiences, I think, would be hard-pressed to accept those things. However, there is good action, mystery, and paranormal happenings. I am looking forward to reading the next book in this series, Moon-Ache. I see a lot of promise in Ms. Irvin's writing and I believe I will enjoy watching that growth over time, as well as seeing where life takes March.The Lone March Series: Moon-Linked (1), Moon-Ache (2), Moon-Burn (3)
