Review: Twisted fate!
Rating: 4 out of 5
Date: 11 12, 2013
This is the second book in Lisa Kesslers "Moon " series and is easily a standalone novel but I do feel that it would be better if  readers where to read "Moonlight " first . Ms Kessler has written about a world with shifters in it and her take on werewolves and jaguar shifters is not to be missed.The two central characters here are Aren a werewolf and Sasha a jaguar shifter. They previously met when Sasha was acting as an assassin for Nero , a secret organisation that's trying to build its own army of  super soldiers. Sasha had been lied to and told she could obtain an antidote to her condition if she played along and captured Arens sister in law. Needless to say that didn't go down well and now Sasha is on the run from both Nero operatives and the Werewolves.Unfortunately for Aren when they met he realised that fate is a twisted bitch and has made Sasha his mate and he's left  tracking her down .  Sasha is on the run but Nero have sent a rogue werewolf after her and he's getting too close for comfort. Realising that her baby sister is in danger she turns to the strongest and most honourable male she knows, Aren. Sasha finds the guy insanely attractive but how can he or his pack ever forgive her for her previous actions.? Aren asks his brother to hide Nadya , Sasha's younger sister and reluctantly Adam agrees. Sasha never asked to be a shifter but her police experience makes her a sharp lady who's capable of taking care of herself but this time she knows she's out of her depth. The werewolf assassin is closing in and although the wolves are hiding Nadya they are not going to forgive Sasha. Can Aren convince his pack that he needs her? Will Sasha ever look at him and realise his feelings are true? They will have to survive in order to find out!This was an easy and very interesting read. The old dilemma "love thy enemy" has never been more fitting and what a tangled mess these two characters find themselves in. The young couple shift into different species and there's been so much deception that at times their problems seen insurmountable but the hero Aren never has any doubts about his lady. He's hard wired to protect his Alpha and pack and Sasha is über protective of her sister. Yet they find themselves pushing against the odds as they learn to trust each other. Lots of hot loving adds to the story.The only thing that might not sit well with some readers is the fact that we read it as first person as each chapter is told from the point of view of either Aren or Sasha but it just felt seamless to me as the writing flowed so well. The author makes you feel part of the story which only enhanced the experience.  I haven't read the first book and now have to seek it out and I'm very happy to recommend this book . Also I'm so intrigued to know what happens next as there is a certain wolf that I feel will be getting his own tale next( pun intended!) .
