“Raven Black. Such a faceted, crazy, witty, and reckless heroine. She reminds me a bit of Kate Daniels. The plot is seamless, utterly engrossing.”

“Raven was engaging, intriguing and invited listeners into her life and head. A wonderful introduction to a new series, with solid world-building,intrigue from characters and a clear purpose for the heroine with just enough left undone to continue, fans of urban fantasy that mixes character,content and action in equal measure are sure to enjoy this one.”
– I Am, Indeed
“Each team member brings their own unique skill set to the team and without one, the others couldn’t do everything that they do.

Another epic addition to the Kestone series! As always Dannika gives us readers what we want. Christian, Christian, Christian what a hot mess you are. This was so much fun to read and I absolutely cannot wait to get my hands on the next installment!
This series is one of my favorite, lots of different creatures and lots of excitement. Waiting for the next book.
It was nice getting to see Raven and Christian finally getting to enjoy each other. And this book shows how everyone in Keystone is important to the group in their own unique way.
Love me some Christian! Hmmmm! Just got the newest one today. Yeah me!
I absolutely love the stories of Keystone, especially the relationship between Raven and Christian. I found these books by mistake and have followed the author through all of her various series of books.
I really like this series. It is very unusual
Dannicka Dark does a wonderful job of world building and character development. This most recent installment definitely delivers.
I love Dannika’ series so much. I love the characters. I love the storylines.I love the diversity. And love the way the 3 series are from the same universe. And most of all, I love her imagination when it comes to Breed.
Moonstruck is ripe with excitement, good times, bad times, pleasant times and dangerous times. The development of the characters continues in here. Hunter comes into play more. Crush and crew are back as well. And the regular gang have a mission that takes them away from Keystone, leaving it vulnerable. So of course there’s mayhem to be had.
It felt almost like the series was ending for awhile, then it didn’t. Which I’m thrilled about. This series is my favorite of the 3. Raven and Christian are front and center, of course. But the others are dominant in this storyline as well. We see more of Gem and Blue and we get to see Shepherd’s fatherly instincts come out in force. It’s an exciting chapter in their lives.
There’s things to hope for in the next book in this series, so I’m patiently waiting for it to come out.
Excellent job, Dannika Dark! Excellent! Wonderfully done, as usual.
Editing this review after a re-read 4.5 months later!! (4th November 2019)
Gripping, Romantic, Horrifying & Full Of Sacrifice!! 4.5 Stars
Moonstruck (Crossbreed, #7; Mageriverse #21)
I absolutely loved the read this time around. I don’t know why I was so down on it when it first came out but boy was I wrong!!
It had me on the edge of my seat either to see what would happen to Gem/Wyatt etc Or with Raven & Christian romantically, and if none of that then with Keystone’s newest job, this time for the Higher Authority!!
Keystone add a new member to their household, but possibly only temporarily. The threat of death & loss is closer than its ever been before & there’s heartbreak in store for their most gentle team mate!!
Words hold such power, as any reader knows, and that is more true than ever before in Moonstruck. Power corrupts & absolute power corrupts absolutely!! Some people are just evil & vile. An unmissable addition to this amazing series. I didn’t know what I was talking about 4.5 months ago! I’m rolling my eyes at myself

Chaos, Danger, Servitude & Sacrifice!! Only 3 Stars This Time!
Firstly, I seriously love this Author’s creativity & work and every series she’s written including this one!
I found much of this story slow going & sluggish which isn’t what I expected, especially after the kind of casual/laid back nature of book 6, which I loved – I had been anticipating book #7 being fast paced & explosive and it isn’t at all!!
There are two storylines running concurrently. Gem & Wyatt are left at Home while the rest of Keystone are on an extremely important mission for the Higher Authority!! They have a secret & precious cargo to transport to a safer home. (For those that have read the Seven Series you’ll know about ‘Potentials’!) Of course it’s a Crossbreed novel so it’s not going to go smoothly
The second storyline sees Gem put in harms way in the safest place she knows!! It hurt my heart reading this part as Gem deserves love, kindness & all the good things, not what happens to her! Nico is released by Viktor to try & retrieve her! I found Wyatt a complete disappointment in this book – he was like a headless chicken, it really annoyed me!
There are some romantic moments between Raven & Christian. She finally connected with her vampire half too, at long last
There are a couple fantastic parts to this book, a bit that freaked me out (Niko!) & a part that can, potentially, change face of the world they’re living in!! These just didn’t make up for the sluggishness in pace of the book though, no where near, in my opinion. Ultimately, when the book finished, other than those couple of big bits, I didn’t feel like the characters had really moved forward & we hadn’t learned anything new!!
My heart bleeds saying this – I was left disappointed by this instalment of the Crossbreed Series! I may change my opinion after a re-read in the future & of course I’ll update my review accordingly, if that’s the case! One thing is absolutely CERTAIN, *Nothing* will stop me from 1 clicking Book #8 when ever it releases, because even a disappointing book by this author outshines most others work!!
