Shadowed Moonlight
Loving Kane nearly destroyed Briar once . . . now that he's Alpha, he could be the end of her. Briar's life collapsed the day Kane abandoned her four years ago, leaving a trail of destruction in his wake. Now, she needs his help. Briar has one shot to save her V-addicted brother, if she can solve a series of murders plaguing the city. It'll mean diving headfirst into the political minefield of the supernatural elite and going head-to-head with the new alpha. He's dangerous, he's devastating, and he just so happens to be the man who obliterated her world. The deal: fake being his mate to solve the case. The cost: everything. As catastrophe looms and old passions ignite, Briar is faced with the impossible choice between loyalty and love. While the killer is watching and waiting to strike . . .

But unfortunately, it didnโt work for me, and I ended up DNFing at 30%. <i>Briarโs life was shattered when Kane left her four years ago, but now she needs his help. To solve a string of supernatural murders and save her brother, she has to agree to one thing: pretending to be his mate. The cost? Everything. </i> The fast pacing kept the plot moving, but the writing felt repetitive and, at times, dull. I struggled to connect with Briar, finding her unlikeable, and while Kane had potential, his possessiveness, and especially the lack of consent in some scenes, made me uncomfortable. The frequent use of <i>weres</i> for the wolves pulled me out of the story, and the romance leaned too heavily into steamy scenes, overshadowing the plot. The murder mystery, which seemed like it was meant to be a key part of the story, felt more like a distant side quest than an integral element. Thatโs not what I personally look for in a book, but readers who enjoy steamy paranormal romance with a dominant werewolf MMC might feel differently! ๐ Shadowed Moonlight was released on October 15, 2024. Special thanks to NetGalley, Hodder & Stoughton, and K.C. Harper for the ARC in exchange for an honest review.
