Review


This story absolutely shattered my heart in the best possible way. From the very beginning I felt deeply connected to the characters, and by the end I was an emotional mess. My eyes were watering, tears were falling, and I felt every single moment of their journey as if I were walking right beside them.

Even now, thinking back on this book makes my chest ache.

There is so much I could say about this story, but at the same time it feels almost impossible to fully capture what it made me feel. Some books are meant to be experienced without knowing too much going in, and this is definitely one of them. It’s the kind of story you should dive into completely blind and simply let it unfold.

I expected emotional moments, but I didn’t expect the story to completely break my heart. As the pages turned, it felt like pieces of my heart were being scattered everywhere while the tears kept falling. And yet somehow, that heartbreak made the story even more powerful.

Saint and Jamie are unforgettable characters. Their connection is intense, raw, and deeply emotional. Over time they build something that feels almost like the kind of love you’d find in a fairytale. But this story isn’t a fairytale. In fact, it’s the opposite.

What makes this book so remarkable is the author’s willingness to explore the painful realities of life. Not every love story is simple, and not every path leads to the happily-ever-after we imagine. That honesty makes this story feel incredibly real and deeply moving.

Saint and Jamie are two broken souls who find something beautiful within each other despite everything they’ve endured. Their journey is emotional, inspiring, and impossible to forget. They are the kind of characters that stay with you long after you close the book.

I won’t go into the details of the plot because this is truly a story that deserves to be experienced firsthand. Just know that it will take you on an emotional rollercoaster filled with highs, lows, heartbreak, and moments of breathtaking connection.

The relationships in this story, especially the bonds Saint forms with the Stallions, added another powerful layer to the narrative. Those connections were raw, strong, and incredibly moving.

This book will break your heart, pull you deep into the emotions of the story, and leave you completely overwhelmed in the best way possible. It’s painful, beautiful, and unforgettable all at once.

So prepare yourself before you start this one. You may think you’re ready, but trust me… you’re not.

CAN YOU KEEP HER SUPERNATURAL SECRET? Moon of Secr CAN YOU KEEP HER SUPERNATURAL SECRET?
Moon of Secrets by Brenda Trim and Tia Didmon is now live!!
 
https://geni.us/MoonofSecrets
 
To stop the darkness, I must walk among the enemy
 
Going undercover in a rival wolf pack wasn't part of the plan, but it's the only way to uncover their true motives. With a false identity and a carefully spun lie, I slip into their hidden community, only to learn the truth is far more dangerous than I imagined.
 
These wolves aren't evil. They're being used. Manipulated by an ancient entity that feeds on shifter energy, one bent on harnessing enough power to permanently darken the moon. If it succeeds, every wolf shifter will gain unstoppable strength, at the cost of our humanity.
 
As suspicion sharpens around me, I lean on Eve's spells to mask my identity and Salima's guidance to reach my allies on the outside. Time is running out, the lunar ritual draws near, and I'm walking a razor's edge between exposure and survival.
 
Because saving the city isn't enough this time. I have to save them, even if they tear me apart for the truth.
 
Find out what lurks in the shadows of Ravenholde by reading Moon of Secrets, the Paranormal Women's Fiction series readers are comparing to Shannon Mayer, K.F. Breene, and Victoria Dannan.

I blame getting pregnant on my sister getting mauled by a bear.
If she hadn’t been attacked that day, I wouldn’t have come home to check on her. I wouldn’t have run
into Boone Windsor at that bar. I wouldn’t have gone home with him, ready to drown my sorrows in a
different, more satisfying way.
I wouldn’t have given him that second chance.
Not after he’d so badly burned the first chance.
I would’ve gone back to work half the country away, and I would’ve kept my head in the sand where
Boone was involved.
But my sister did get attacked. I did give Boone a second chance.
And I almost died because of it.
After my memories are lost in an accident that almost takes both of our lives, Boone makes me fall in
love with him all over again.
And since I didn’t know all the hell that awaited me, I didn’t guard my heart.
I fell, and fell, and fell until there was nowhere else to go but down.
Then, when those memories come back and I’m faced with the consequences of my actions, I didn’t
falter.
I knew he was hell, yet I chose to burn with him anyway.
