Review: Better than other "Moon" books
Rating: 4 out of 5

This book is a companion read to the author's "Moon" trilogy. It is a novella-length work which can stand alone without very many questions for a reader who hasn't read the trilogy. And that's a good thing, because it's much better written than any of the previous stories.Emma was a "turned" were, bitten by an ocelot shifter when she was 14 and kidnapped for several weeks until she escaped. Accepted into the Cat Clan, she has carved out a place for herself as the clan's second. Wheeler, the clan's alpha, is finally beginning to make his feelings for her known when she disappears again. And he's not amused.A bit reminiscent of Kelley Armstrong's "Stolen", this work still has its own identity. Bevill has improved dramatically as a writer since her first "Cat Clan" book, and makes you wish for what could-have-been with the original story. There are still a couple of missing words and one glaringly archaic word (condolatory - really?) that shows how using a thesaurus without complete understanding of a word can get you into trouble. But the romance and character development is light years ahead of its predecessor, even without the sex. A decent read.
