I moved to the city because I thought it was safer—the bigger the city, the more angels.I was wrong.Who knew saving an owl would mean I’d be hunted by the High Angel and Warden of the State? That owl I saved…he wasn’t any ordinary owl. I’ve been labelled a shifter sympathizer and we end up as dead as shifters.So now I’m on the run.A shifter believes he owes me his life. With help from his … his life. With help from his friends—a human, and a surly angel—he’s vowed to get me out of this mess I’m in. After that, I can return to my old life.
The plan is simple. Life, however, isn’t.

I really liked Meghan. Her whole world is turned upside down after saving an owl. I like that she is so resilient and keeps on fighting. I have mixed emotions about the guys. I really like Mox, although just goes along with the others, Abriel is interesting. He is a jerk, but he is honest about it. At this point, Tallow irritates me. He is a jerk and kind of whiny, and I don’t like how he push-pulls with Meghan. I’m hoping that if/when he gets redeemed he does a little bit of groveling. I really like Moon’s writing and am intrigued by the story line, so will be watching for the next story in the series 🙂
Jaya Moon is a new author for me, but with an introduction like Awoken (The Ascension of Meghan May Book 1) she is definitely a writer I want to pursue. This is a wonderfully creative paranormal story with a neat slow burn reverse harem (and the guys here are yummy). I love Meghan and love the world created for her (and those guys) to inhabit. Pure fun. But for the fact that I’m literally dictating this review to my husband from my hospital bed I could go on and on with praises. The book definitely deserves it. Since I can’t do that I will simply note that the book is most definitely one to read, and it is easy to highly recommend. I’m definitely looking forward to the next book in this series.
I received a free advanced copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
Like others, I read the short description on this book and thought it might be a quick, alright read. I was extremely mistaken. The author has taken what often feels like a well-worn genre and kicked it into high gear with the suspense. It took me only a couple hours to power through because I honestly couldn’t put it down.
Our main character, Meghan, has a past we only initially get glimpses of, and it makes her all the more interesting. She keeps everyone at arm’s length, despite having plenty of interest from others at the bar she works at. Still, a chance encounter where she saves a helpless owl from attack thrusts her into a world she has all wrong and into a medley of very sexy, very reluctant men who spend a great deal of time trying to avoid the spell she’s clearly cast over them all.
There’s still so much more to the story we don’t know, and so much to learn about each of our characters, that’s I’m aching for the next installment.
First let me state that I received an Advance Reader Copy, (ARC), but this in no way influences my review. I always leave an honest review. Also this author is new to me, and I hope not for long.
Wow!!! This is a gr8story. Angels that are not at all what we believe, and shifters. Meghan is one tough cookie, she takes no shut from anyone, including angels. There were times she made me snicker over her sassy mouth, and times I felt her pain. Ms. Moon writes a gr8 story and really grabs a reader right away. I’m looking forward to reading the next book. I recommend this read. 5 Thumbs up
