Lunarmorte series by Samantha Young


. 5


It’s bad enough feeling different among the human crowd, but feeling different among wolves? 

No one said returning to her pack would be easy, especially after ten years without them, but seventeen year old Caia Ribeiro is unprepared for the realities of the transition. Raised in a world where kids aren’t scared by bedtime tales of the bogeyman but by the real life threat of enemy supernaturals who might come creeping into their community to kill them in their sleep, Caia is used to the darkness; she’s used to the mystery and the intrigue of the ancient underworld war she’s bound to by chance of birth. What she’s having trouble with are pack members treating her with wary suspicion, the Elders tucking secrets behind their backs out of her sightline, and her young Alpha, Lucien, distracting her, with a dangerous attraction, from her decision to uncover the truth.

But as the saying goes ‘the truth will out’ and when it does, Caia will only have so long to prepare herself before the war comes pounding on their door threatening to destroy the safe, secret lives of the wolves… and the girl they protect.- Moon Spell summary on Goodreads


I FREAKIN FINISHED IT! AHHHH!!!
Yay me! Seriously though, I have been meaning to finish this series for the last six months! Things just kept happening and it kind of got forgotten about, but now it's done!



Alright to the nitty gritty.

This series was certainly interesting. Instead of the traditional bite from a wolf that changes you, it's gentetic. They, along with vampires and witches (called magiks) get their powers from the Greek gods. Again it was kind of interesting to read about a totally different take on the supernatural world that has been done over and over. I would have liked for the story to be more in depth, to learn have learned more about the pack. Sometimes I felt like the lunarmorte world wasn't as fully developed as it could have been, but it was still pretty good.

I wasn't really sure how I felt about Caia at first. She was kind of annoying, but she got soooo much better as the series developed. By the time it was over I really liked her.


Lucien, I never really fell for him. He was a jackass, pretty stubborn, sometimes sexy and alpha all the way. That being said, that was really it. There wasn't a whole lot of dimension to his character, so it was hard for me to get too attached. PLUS HE NEVER LEARNED HIS LESSON.  In each book there came a point when he needed to trust Caia, or he needed to be honest with her. He choose to do the opposite of that at every turn! How many times do you have to go through this, how many times do you have to hurt your mates feelings before you get it!!!
SERIOUSLY?!?

I also didn't think Lucien and Caia had great chemistry. It went from not trusting each other, to lust, to hate, then epic love. I think that by the end of the books, I was finally starting to like them together, but then it ENDED so kind of a let down.


Again I really liked this series by the time it was over. It had a very exciting and lovely ending. Do I think that I will re-read it in the future? No. Is it one my favorites? No. But it was good and I'm happy that I followed through and finished it.


YAY I'M DONE!! BYE!!
