Accepting the Moon: Prequel (Moonrising Book 0)
By kshaigwood
I was given the Audible version of this book, and I really enjoyed it alot!
Mena has been married to a high profile attorney for about eleven years. She is hurt to discover that he’s been having an affair! He tries to reassure her it was nothing. But, Mena is tired and doesn’t believe him, when he loses his temper and slaps her. Mena leaves the house, it’s raining when she see’s a bunch of large dogs crossing the road in front of her car.
She decides to pull into a Motel, but as she is about toget out of her car the animals she thought were dogs are large werewolves!
And, of all the people to save her is a Vampire, and he gives her weapons to use to defend them. The vampire, Jack is trying to outrun them!!
I really enjoyed this book, this author is new to me and I really enjoyed this story
line, the many different characters, and the action.
Although it is short, it leaves me wanting more. Mena is strong and kickass. Although I thought she’d end up in Jaxon’s arms, I can’t wait to see what happens with Phoenix
This is the first book in the Moonrising series. This is a short-story. It is a prequel providing the background to a new series from K.S. Haigwood. I am ready for the next one!! I am on pins and needles wanting more! No, there is not a cliff-hanger; I just want the next book in the series.
I did not read this book. Settle down – that does not mean that I am writing a review without reading the book! A couple of weeks ago, Kristie (K.S. Haigwood) asked me if I wanted to do something a little different. She offered me an Audible coupon for ACCEPTING THE MOON and I accepted her challenge. This was the first book I have done “on tape” for a review and it has been years since I last listened to an audio book.
Anybody who has followed my blog for any length of time knows that I do a lot of my reading while on the treadmill. The supreme advantage to this book, besides the fact that it was just a fantastic story, was that I didn’t have to turn it off at the end of my walk. Instead, I could continue listening while I did my crunches, push-ups, etc. That is a huge bonus in my life!
I am absolutely in love with Mina. Mina is kick-ass. When she finds out her husband is cheating, she kick his ass to the curb! When she finds out that werewolves and vampires are real, and she’s now one of them, she kicks it into high gear to face her new challenges face-on.
The story had a great unpredictability that kept me focused on the edge of my seat, so to speak. Jackson and Phoenix are both to die for (no pun intended) and I am looking forward to reading more about both of them. Mina has a great plan for the vampires and the werewolves, but will it work. That’s just another reason that I am going to be stalking, ummm, following Kristie and I will be jumping on every book in this series.
This was the first of her books that I have read. I do have two more of her books and I will be fitting them into my TBR as quickly as possible. I loved the story, the flow, and the style of this book and hope to find the others will be equally wonderful.
One last thing… I would be committing a sin if I didn’t mention Pyper Down, the reader for this audio book. I love her voice. It is comfortable to listen to her. She does not lull you to sleep nor grate on the ears. Listening to her was like listening to a good mother reading a bedtime story, adding just the right amount of pausing and voice changes to keep the listener engaged. Thank you, Pyper Down. Seeing your name on future audio books will be an incentive for me.
Great beginning to a series. If I could give it more than 5 stars I would.
Although only novella length, Acceptinng the Moon packs quite a punch. Originally I owned an audio copy of the book, however, after listening to it, I had to pick it up for my kindle as well.
All Mena wanted was a good life, a good home, and a loving husband. And she believed she had it all. Until the day she realized her entire life was a huge lie. Now there’s a new Alpha in town and up until recently she didn’t even know Werewolves were real. But what’s a girl to do when recently widowed, she finds herself attracted to the head Vampire (yup, they exist too… who knew!), but her wolf wants the one man that can destroy her entire life?
I am a huge fan of stories with a strong heroine and Haigwood does not disappoint
I listened to this after I had finished the follow-on books. It was as “post” for me, rather than “pre”. It was great to find out how the characters started. Really enjoyed this book along with the entire series. Looking for more. Thanks Kristie. You never disappoint.
Perfect start to one of my favorite series!
