Book 7, 2013
Mar. 16th, 2013 12:00 pmI stayed up late last night finishing Moonshifted by Cassie Alexander. It's the second book in an urban fantasy series featuring nurse Edie Spence.
What I like about Edie is that she's not your typical heroine. She's not a supernatural creature or a mercenary or a soldier. She's just a nurse. Granted, she works in the super-secret ward that takes care of vampires, weres, et al, but Edie is just a normal woman. What sets her apart is her sense of doing what's right and her sheer stubbornness.
In this installment, Edie witnesses a hit and run, only to discover the victim is the pack leader of the local werewolves. During the same time, she's asked to represent a powerful vampire at an ascension ceremony. Both incidents put Edie into the middle of a were-war and a dissent among vampires.
While this book was as fast-paced and exciting as the first, I admit I didn't enjoy it as well. The ending left me feeling a bit...I don't know. Cheated? I'm still looking forward to more books in this series.
★★★★
