This book is a feral, heart-clutching retelling reborn in shadows and smoke, where danger pulses beneath every stolen glance and forbidden touch. Reid Morrison slips into a masquerade as the Knave of Hearts to spy, only to lose his own heart to Jasper Compton, the Alpha heir of a rival pack, and from that moment on their connection becomes a loaded weapon aimed at both their worlds; every secret they keep is a risk, every moment together a spark threatening to ignite a war, as hatred and loyalty tear at them from opposite sides and demand they choose between blood and love, and the result is a dark, paranormal romance soaked in secrecy, aching passion, and devastating tension, where desire burns hot, loyalties fracture, and two alphas dare to reach for each other in a world determined to rip them apart.

ARC Review
I received an advance copy of The Alpha and the Envious Moon by Everleigh Miles, and I am grateful for the opportunity to read and review it.
This story leans strongly into atmosphere and emotional tension, and that is where it shines most. The writing has a lyrical quality that suits the paranormal elements beautifully, especially during moments tied to pack dynamics, loyalty, and internal conflict. There is a steady sense of longing and unease woven throughout the book that kept me engaged even during slower sections.
One of the most compelling aspects of the story is the star crossed lovers concept. The overall vibe strongly reminded me of Romeo + Juliet, specifically the 1996 version starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Claire Danes, which many of us grew up loving. That same feeling of forbidden connection, heightened emotion, and fate pulling two people together is very present here, but reimagined as a paranormal MM romance.
Watching Jasper realize he had found his fated mate was genuinely endearing. He was completely all in from the start, full of awe and certainty, which made his emotional journey especially touching. In contrast, Reid’s hesitation to secure the bond was frustrating at times, but in a way that felt intentional and true to his character. His struggle to accept both the bond and his own feelings added depth to the romance, and his eventual acceptance was deeply satisfying.
There is a moment in the story that was genuinely heartbreaking, particularly involving a character who resisted fully accepting Reid and Jasper’s relationship. Even though that character was not especially likable, the emotional weight of that conflict landed hard and added to the overall impact of the story.
The romance develops gradually and leans more emotional than physical, but the connection feels intentional and earned. Pacing is where the book occasionally falters, particularly in the middle where internal monologue revisits similar emotional beats. Tightening those moments would strengthen the momentum and sharpen the payoff later in the story. A few secondary characters also felt underutilized, introduced with promise but not fully explored by the end.
Overall, The Alpha and the Envious Moon is a beautiful, emotionally driven paranormal romance. The ending felt earned and emotionally satisfying, offering a hopeful and fulfilling resolution to a story rooted in rivalry, fate, and forbidden love. Readers who enjoy star crossed romances, introspective alphas, and MM paranormal stories will likely find a lot to love here.
Thank you again to the author for the ARC and for trusting readers with an early look at this story.

I received an advance reader copy of The Alpha and the Envious Moon in exchange for an honest review.
This book wasn’t bad, but it also wasn’t fully for me. It very much felt like a modern Romeo and Juliet–style paranormal romance, which I know a lot of readers will enjoy.
The writing was good, and the plot itself kept me interested enough to keep reading. I liked the overall idea and the emotional tension behind the story. However, the romance moved too fast for my personal taste. It felt very lust-driven right from the start, and I would have enjoyed it much more if it had been a slower burn with more buildup and emotional connection before things turned physical.
That said, this really comes down to preference. If you enjoy fast-paced, intense, lust-forward romances with a lot of emotion, this book will probably work much better for you than it did for me.

ARC Review of The Alpha and the Envious Moon.
The storyline of this book kept me intrigued and wondering how things would turn out for our two alpha heirs, Jasper and Reid. You first start to realize that Reid hides a part of himself from those around him because it is not appropriate for an alpha heir. Jasper is in the same boat when it comes to showing his true self for the same reason of being the alpha heir. The hierarchy and politics of the wolf pack make it difficult for them to fully show their true selves openly.
Reid, knowing ahead of time that Jasper is finally back, wants to get to know more about the other alpha heir of the neighboring pack. Reid crashes the masquerade ball that Jasper's family is holding to try to get information about what his pack is doing, but unbeknownst to him, his life will change forever upon meeting Jasper.
Jasper begrudgingly shows to the ball with his sister Charlotte, and while scanning the people around him, Jasper makes eye contact with Reid not knowing who he is but is informed by his sister that he is not of their pack. Jasper is instantly drawn to Reid, not knowing who he is and is led away by him to his sanctuary in the Folly.
They have both come to the realization that they are fated mates, which is very rare in the wolf community now a days. They do not voice that they are fated mates right away, but they know in their hearts and by their wolves that they are meant to be.
Jasper and Reid now face the delicate problem of being with each other while keeping it a secret. They do not last long with making the choice that they will mark and be together when their wolf nature makes them face the reality that they can not live without each other.
Unfortunately, things can never be easy. The day after they've marked each other, devastation hits Reid's pack but is able to make it through with Jasper by his side. They not only have to face their families and packs but have uncovered a treacherous scheme to destroy both of their packs.
Reid and Jasper must reach out to their families to try and save each of their packs and stop the fighting. They are able to stop the plot against them, but unfortunately, Jasper is hurt but is able to make it with Reid by his side. Both families come together, and peace is somewhat restored to both packs as they work together in unity now that the alpha heirs are mated.
This book had unrequited love, hidden identities, suspense, treachery, spicy sex scenes, and love of family. I loved the dynamics between the two packs and how they only wanted to make their pack stronger. They were blinded by treachery and hidden agendas to see that they could be great together. The union of Jasper and Reid given to them by the moon goddess redirected the paths of these two packs. The fierce love that Jasper and Reid had for each other helped them get through these tough times and show that true love can conquer many things and bring people together.
I greatly enjoyed reading this book and getting sucked in by the characters.

Loved this enemy packs to lovers MM retelling of Romeo and Juliette. Pleasantly surprised by the alignment with this story and the story I loved in my youth. This story made me cheer for the main characters love, feel nervous for their coming out moment and cry at the loss that was suffered. HEA. Everleigh Miles is a new author for me and I enjoyed her work.
Review of advance copy received from Author
This was a great take on Romeo and Juliet, with fated mates and warring packs taking the place of the Montagues and the Capulets. It had Baz Lurman vibes, but MORE. The start was a little slow, but then I was completely hooked on the drama and intrigue. Thank you to the author for an advance copy. This is my honest review.

This is not my regular genre but thoroughly enjoyed the book. Jasper and Charlotte's banter is fabulous, causing some giggles while the drama and relationship with Reid are very tense causing some edge of your seat moments.
Review of advance copy received from Author
The Alpha and the Envious Moon by Everleigh Miles is a dark and steamy MM paranormal romance that mixes forbidden love with pack politics and looming danger.. have I got your attention?
From the moment Reid Morrison and Jasper Compton meet, the story oozes with tension that’s both romantic and political! We read as they navigate their attraction in a world where loyalty, power and rivalry come first and foremost.. the books filled with secrecy and longing.
Reid’s sharp confidence contrasts nicely with Jasper’s quieter, more introspective nature, giving a mix both volatile and deeply emotional. While Reid is confident and deeply aware of his position as an alpha heir, Jasper having just returned home feels like his carrying the weight of expectations he’s not sure he can meet.
The themes of identity, duty and choosing love over expectation are woven strongly throughout the story, making it raw and often intense but underneath the heat is a genuine exploration of identity, loyalty and what it means to choose your own future. The world of rival packs feels dangerous and the romance feels hard earned rather than easy for our MMCs.
This book is not a light read as there is explicit sexual content, violence and emotional intensity, however anyone who enjoy dark MM romance with high stakes and fated mate tension will find it a gripping read.

The Alpha and the Envious Moon — Everleigh Miles
ARC REVİEW 💫📖
Going into this book, I honestly never expected my expectations to be exceeded by this much or for the story to pull me in so completely.
But here we are.🧏♀️
With its smooth pacing, intense emotional depth, and plenty of spicy scenes, it hooked me from the very first pages. 😍
Ever since my reading obsession began, I’ve always had a soft spot for the fated mates trope, and seeing how perfectly it was used in this story made me incredibly happy.😌
Another thing I realized while reading was how long it had been since I truly got lost in a fantasy romance. This book reminded me exactly why I love the genre so much.🤌🏼
This is a true enemies-to-lovers story.
Two packs that are sworn enemies.
Two Alpha heirs.🔥🔥
When everything forbidden becomes even more tempting, the attraction between them turns both dangerous and consuming. Caught between pack loyalty and the bond fate has forced upon them, their story unfolds with tension and passion. You can easily imagine just how forbidden, fiery, and destructive this connection can be.
As an ARC reader, I can confidently say this book exceeded my expectations and left a strong impression on me. If you enjoy MM paranormal romance with fated mates, rival packs, and a forbidden edge, this one is definitely not to be missed.🖤

"I received an ARC and am voluntarily leaving an honest review.” The Alpha and the Envious Moon. This novel reimagines a familiar trope with ferocity and emotional intensity, unfolding in a shadowed world where danger underlies every interaction. Reid Morrison assumes the persona of the Knave of Hearts to infiltrate a rival pack, but his mission is complicated when he falls for Jasper Compton, the alpha heir on the opposing side. What begins as calculated deception evolves into a volatile bond that threatens both their allegiances.
As secrecy tightens around them, each stolen moment carries the potential to ignite open conflict. The narrative skillfully explores the tension between loyalty and desire, forcing them to confront an impossible choice between duty and love. Dark, passionate, and charged with suspense, this paranormal romance delivers high emotional stakes and a compelling portrayal of two powerful figures daring to reach for one another in a world intent on keeping them apart.💛

Wow, this book is the ultimate Romeo and Juliet retell that has been reinvented with some Alpha MxM steam.
Reid Morrison sneaks into a masquarade party dressed as the Knave of Hearts in order to spy and gather information, but he ends up with hearts in his eyes for none other than Jasper Compton, the Alpha Heir of a rival pack. Just associating with each other is a dangerous game and their passion forbidden.
Will the fierce hatred and rivalry between the two packs force them apart and make them choose sides?
This paranormal dark romance pulls on the heart strings. It is filled with secrecy, passion and steamy MxM scenes. Their forbidden love must be hidden and the alpha's loyalties put to the test. This book was amazing and I definitely recommend!

4.5 stars.
The Alpha and the Envious Moon is a book about destined couples who are part of two warring werewolf families in the same city. It reminded me a lot of Romeo and Juliet, to be honest.
It's very well written, the characters are well developed, and the conflict between the families has a vibe of two mafia clans fighting for economic control of a city.
Reid and Jasper meet at a masquerade ball. Reid knows who Jasper is, but Jasper doesn't know who Reid is. They feel the urge to be together, even though they barely know each other. When they realize this, they decide to leave the pack's affairs at the door, but it's practically impossible.
I was satisfied with the ending.

A modern Romeo and Juliet involving werewolves. Reid and Jasper were heirs to their respective pack but when fate has a sense of humour, they find they are fated mates. Now what will they do.
Both Reid and Jasper were likeable characters, total opposite, but balanced each other when it came to the serious stuff.
The first part of this book is spent mostly in the bedroom and I was hoping to spend more time with Jasper and Reid planning and learning more of the politics within the pack, but the last part I loved and that was what I wanted when I learnt they were from waring families.
I wanted more time spent with them and their packs
3.5 rounded to 4

I received an Advanced Reader Copy.
The star crossed lovers concept was actually really interesting to read. It was really adorable how Jasper was all star eyes when he found his fated mate. He was all in. I hated that Reid didn't want to secure the bond at first but I am glad he accepted his feelings eventually. I was kind of heartbreaking when /that/ happened. Even if said character was kind of a little bish and did not want to fully accept Reid and Jasper's relationship. It was a beautiful story and a better ending than Romeo and Juliet or rather Romeo and Julian.

The Alpha and the Envious Moon is a Spicy Book
Two MMC’s both Alpha’s and the heir apparent to their wolf packs. Both packs are fighting over territory. One has been handling business for years while the other if fresh out of college and more interested in art than running the pack.
A masquerade party brings two strangers together. Now being gay is not acceptable for an Alpha. Fate has something to say about it Because times are changing. Can these Romeo’s find peace and bring the two packs together or just try and live double lives keeping their relationship only behind their hotel door?

I received an arch for this book. The spice is spicing. its a Romeo and Juliet retelling. I could see how this book is fantastic its well written. it just wasn't for me. I appreciate the author allowing me to read it though.

When I read the blurb I thought this book sounded interesting, and since it's also by a new-to-me author, I thought I'd give it a read. I unfortunately didn't love this book, I couldn't get into it.
The writing style seemed a bit clunky? There just didn't seem to be a smooth flow to the story for me. I don't think it's bad.. but it just wasn't for me.

Modern day Romeo & Juliet retelling but werewolves (and feuding packs) and make it MM and spicy. I enjoyed this book more than I had thought that I would.
Review of advance copy received from Author
This Romeo and Juliet retelling was something I never knew I would enjoy! It was a bit weird for me at first this was my first MM read with no female intermingle. Jasper and Reid from two conflicting families find out they are fated mates after a ball jaspers sister throws. They fall into a typical hidden relationship. The story falls inline with the true R&J story with a few plot twist but same base. for instance they are all werewolf’s and Marcel is Marcella a guy who identifies as a woman. It’s very set in the now with what goes on in the world today or at least some parts of the world. The story was good I enjoyed reading it and it has a different twist to the ending which is worth the read!
If this type of book is for you give it a chance it’s a sweet story!
Grateful for the opportunity to Arc for this book!

Enemies, sparks, and a whole lot of forbidden fun—this MM paranormal romance had me swooning and scheming right alongside the characters.
Reid Morrison crashes Jasper Compton’s welcome-home masquerade. One look, stolen moments, and a dangerous game of seduction ignite a passion neither can resist—a love as forbidden as it is irresistible.
Jasper’s realization that he had found his fated mate was endearing—he was all in from the start. Reid’s hesitation could frustrate, but it felt authentic. His journey to accept the bond and his feelings added richness to the romance, making his eventual surrender deeply satisfying.
There’s a moment in the story which did slightly break my heart and hit me hard, this involves a character who struggles to embrace Reid and Jasper’s relationship. I was torn because deep down I was praying that this character didn’t turn out to be a traitor, while also hoping they wouldn’t get hurt. Their attitude toward Reid and Jaspers growing relationship was so disappointing but I was hoping that they would get a redemption arc.
Fated mates, rival packs, and forbidden heat that hits all the feels. 🖤
