I was crossing my fingers hoping I would get an ARC of this book. I'm normally not a big paranormal reader but I had been given a copy of Moonlight, and really liked Lisa's writing style. Yes the paranormal aspect is a huge aspect of this series but she actually takes the time to focus on the characters and their personalities and relationships that it draws you in. We got a taste of Sasha and Hunter in the 1st book and I was counting down the days to get their story. I highly suggest reading Moonlight first because it adds a lot to the story especially involving Hunter.***Spoilers from book 1 below***If you read Moonlight then you know that jaguars and wolves don't mix. Aren has a deep mistrust of jaguar's and almost refuses to accept his brothers jaguar mate. In Moonlight he was mistaken for his twin and attacked by the jaguar named Sasha. Sasha had the opportunity to kill him, but instead shot him in the ankle which has never healed. At the end of Moonlight, Aren was seen dragging Sasha to safety.In Hunter's Moon, the story picks up with Sasha on the run from the many Nero assassins that have been sent after her. Aren is following her and killing off the assassins. She doesn't understand his motive. She doesn't have time to understand his motive because now she needs his help since she believe Nero has located her sister and they'll surely use her to get to Sasha.The hardest part of this book for me was watching poor Aren. He was so tortured. First with his injury, and then with trying to get close to Sasha. I was surprised at how this book played out and I mean that in a good way. I wasn't expecting the history that went along with the villain in this book. I think it was better and more personal since they had that back story.Now I've got to restart my countdown for book 3! Hunter's Moon by Lisa Kessler is on Evelyn's to-read shelf. Evelyn gave this book 5 stars. Shelves: to-read.
