Broken Moon: An Urban Fantasy Wolf Shifter Series by Laken CaneMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Compelling Urban Fantasy
This is the first book in a continuing series. It does not end on a cliffhanger but hints towards future issues to be resolved.
Kaitlyn is a hobbled werewolf. When she was 14 her father attacked their pack alpha and when her father was killed she attacked the alpha in desperation. As punishment, she was hobbled and she and her mother were exiled into the nearby town.
In constant pain from being unable to manifest her wolf, it reaches intolerable levels at the full moon where she has to run to exhaust herself so she can eventually rest. As a werewolf she is stronger, has heightened senses, and she heals faster than a human, however all of those benefits are reduced because she cannot shift.
Not only is Kaitlyn a werewolf, she can see spirits, something she shouldn’t be able to do. She has trained herself to become a paranormal hunter and sort of an exorcist for humans. She is very good at what she does.
She’s so good she has gained the attention of a detective, Rick, who believes in spirits and demons and that Kait can see them. She’s also gained the attention of the other alpha in the area and he offers Kait a job. In exchange, as well as financial reward, he’ll set her wolf free.
This is such a good book and is completely compelling. I couldn’t put it down once I started to read it. (No sleep for Chrissy again!). The characters are so well thought out and described they practically step off the page. You believe they are utterly real because they have very real and nuanced behaviour and speech patterns.
In addition to the fantastic characters, the world-building is fascinating. it’s incredibly well developed and you know there will be much more information to come in future books.
The plot is intricate and captivating. You get pulled along by the story until the very last page. This is such a promising start to a new series by this author that I can barely wait with excitement at the prospect of the rest of the series.
