Great storyline
This was a very creative storyline. I really enjoyed the plot and story. I do wish this story was properly edited. The errors made it challenging to keep up with some parts. However, this was a good read.

This was 23 pages. It didn't even feel like a novella. For it to be so short, I don't understand how all over the place it was. First it's at an animal sanctuary and she can communicate with wolves. Just out of nowhere, she has a telepathic link with wolves. Okay...
Then she's being abused by her terrible boyfriend at an office holiday party. I hate this trope unless the boyfriend gets his comeuppance. That doesn't really happen here. He's potentially cheating on her AGAIN and forces her in the car to drive her home. They are driving and swerve into a forest which leads to a wolf encounter. Where the hell does she live that they are driving into enough wilderness that wolves have a cave system near by? I wouldn't be surprised if she came across a witch with a house made of candy.
Then she happily moves into a cave with a werewolf she just met. The wolves may get by on living off the land but she has rent, bills, etc. A wolf mate is not enough incentive to leave all modern conveniences behind. And the mate reveal was so anti-climatic. He just says it in conversation and she never questions it.
Looking back, this review is probably longer than the actual text and this is sad. Yet another misfire of Black paranormal romance.

This was the first book by Melody Lynch that I’ve read. Lowkey I was bored, but I was also intrigued. I’ve been in my paranormal bag lately, so I was interested in seeing how the werewolves operated and how Sheba would adjust to life with them.
There’s not much romance in this book. It starts off with Sheba being in a loveless, verbally abusive relationship with Tyson/Tyrone and then it ends with Sheba getting with Kenyatta. Most of our time is spent learning Sheba’s background and with Sheba being berated by Tyson/Tyrone and tbh it was too much time.
Sheba’s time with Kenyatta felt very rushed, and the ending did too. The “romance” between Kenyatta and Sheba was very much like “hey we’re mates…ok…we kiss…we have sex now” 😒 I mean Kenyatta did save Sheba’s life and nurse her back to health but I wouldn’t categorize that as romantic.
And what was the point of introducing Hailey and Derek as characters? Did the rogue wolf that attacked Sheba die in the battle? Did Sheba ever return to her job? Why was the charity auction even a thing? How is Kenyatta handling the fact that he killed Theo?

I really didn’t understand what was going on in this book. The storyline involving the property just evaporated into thin air. What happened with the developers? What’s going on with Sheba and her powers? How was she able to hear the wolves? As for Tyrone, I know he passed away, but it feels like we just skipped over that accident entirely. Additionally, the relationship (and I use that term loosely) between Kenyatta and Sheba was poorly executed. There was also a missed opportunity to explain why the wolves are in their animal form most of the time; that aspect was fumbled. Overall, this book definitely needed to be more than 85 pages to effectively tell the story. So many opportunities were overlooked due to what feels like lazy writing.

ehh
The story was somewhat stiff and generic. Why are those wolves after her? Why are they living so desolate? Why didn’t Sheba feel any sparks when she met him? I also thought it was odd that shifters and wolves all integrated.The writing definitely got sloppier as the story progressed. And why is the book names Dark Moon?

Go Y’all!
Come on Sheba and Kenyatta!! I love Sheba choosing to never give up, even in the most lethal situations, she still has fight left in her. Kenyatta coming in and letting her know she never has to fight alone, is chef’s kiss! I love how protective he was of her. That one line, you are my beginning and my end!! That line ate!! I loved it! Happy Tyrone was dealt with because he had to go! Talking to her the way he did.

I enjoyed it !
A good quick read! The story was well written and worth my time reading! Looking for to more books from the author. But I was disappointed that the story offer at the end about the three brothers and their women was not available. I would like to know the title of that story.

It was a quick okay read for me. Kenyatta is an Alpha and stumbles upon his mate Sheba being attacked by rouges after being involved in a car accident. I didn’t like how weak Sheba was with Tyrone/Tyson.

Really good read!
This was a really good read. It didn’t feel rushed, and you got everything in that needed to be there. We love a good HEA.

Nice quick read it was kind of rushed should have like a little more detail. But not bad this was my first time reading this author’s work.

Good Read!!!
Short and to the point. I’m hoping for novels soon though. This writer is well on her way and have arrived… Can’t wait to see a novel soon though….

Not worth the read
This was unfortunately very poorly written. I was disappointed in what could have been an interesting story. I just seemed thrown together.

Though her fiancé tried to break her spirit, she didn’t let his mean words over take her, glad she was able to get her happy ending!
