The Silvermoon Chronicles #2

Bound by Moonlight: A Reverse Harem Paranormal Academy Romance

Rate this book
The bond is complete. Now they have to survive it.

Three trials. One impossible bond. And a mother who wants her dead.

Nova thought bonding with four powerful heirs was the hard part. She was wrong. Now the Supernatural Council demands she prove the bond is stable—or they'll execute all five of them. But passing their trials is nothing compared to the real her mother, leading Covenant forces to "save" Nova by killing her.

The Council's trials force them

→ Survive separation (they lasted 4 hours instead of 48)

→ Share power without draining each other (she amplifies them instead)

→ Resist ultimate temptation (choose the bond over everything they've lost)

But when Nova discovers her father is alive—imprisoned for 18 years in the unbreakable Void Cage—everything changes. The only way to save him is a suicide mission that could destroy them all.

Four powerful mates. One Moonborn. A bond that breaks every rule.

LYSANDER VALE (Vampire Prince) — Claims her with permanent bite marks

ASHTON WILDE (Alpha Heir) — Marks her as his with a wolf's mating bite

CASPIAN STORM (Fae Prince) — Shows her his true form in a realm between worlds

SALEM FROST (Witch Lord) — The darkness that's been protecting her since birth

As Nova's power grows, so does the danger. The Covenant has a weapon designed to sever bonds—drive mates insane and kill them from within. And her mother isn't the only threat. There's something older. Something that's been waiting five thousand years.

They've passed the trials. Destroyed the prison. Survived the impossible.

But the real war is just beginning.

BOUND BY MOONLIGHT is book 2 in The Silvermoon Chronicles, a complete six-book reverse harem paranormal academy romance with no cheating, no choosing, and a happily ever after for Nova and ALL her mates. Features explicit steam, found family, and a Moonborn who's done apologizing for being powerful.

Reading Stolen Shadows (Book 1) → Bound by Moonlight (Book 2) → Shattered Moonlight (Book 3) → Trial by Moonfire (Book 4) → Moonfall (Book 5) → Moonrise (Book 6)

Was this written by AI?

I am very sorry to report that this series rapidly descended into disaster. The first half of book 1 I thoroughly enjoyed. It had a quicker pace than I’m used to, but it seemed really well-written. The FMC was really sharp and capable. She didn’t wring her hands and try to escape decision; she acted. And the idea seemed interesting.

The second half of book 1 started to have some random story inconsistencies - seemingly small details that conflicted with one another. The pace also picked up to an absurd speed, rushing through things that should have had consideration. Plot reveals were dropped in a handful of paragraphs, rather than the chapters they should have taken. Rebound from the plot twists were nonexistent. It felt like someone had taken their rough outline and hurriedly written it out, trying to flesh out details as they went, then forgetting they’d already stated one thing and instead writing something conflicting. And to top it all off, there apparently wasn’t editing to try to fix these issues?

Still, I wanted to give this series a shot. I picked up book 2, even though the “Cliffhanger” of Book 1 was jumbled and weird.

Book 2 starts with no mention of Book 1’s “Cliffhanger” chapter, acting like none of that ever happened. The “Big Bad” from Book 1 who we should REALLY hear more about isn’t mentioned at all. And we, once again, have weird plot disparities. Like, they’re all sleeping in the same room because even a trip into the balcony is too much distance, but then later we’re told they’ve been sleeping in separate rooms. Huh?

I really think this may be an AI-written book. I think a human may have written the first half of the first book, then let AI do its thing. I can’t explain the sudden decline in any other way that makes sense. I’m honestly so disappointed - this could have been a cool series. But by Book 2, you’re reading a collection of words that is strung together in an increasingly illogical manner.

I'm sad... I really like the idea behind this story, but I don't think I can continue to read it with how incongruent it is with the first book in the series. I considered reading it like it was its own story, but I saw reviews stating that the consistency issues that were present in the first book continue throughout the entire series and none of the books match up properly like a series should. Even though I am going to DNF this book, I gave it two stars because I do like the premise of the book and the characters. I simply cannot continue to read a book where I will constantly have to reconcile what has actually happened and what is poor writing consistency and editing. Read the spoilers for more details.

Too fast

Everything is happening way to fast. Nova is some kind of super human for someone who knew nothing about magic not long ago. Everything always works out perfectly and so fast. Battles seem to take minutes. Enemies switch to Nova's side easily. Nova seems to just know how to fix everything and it all works out like a dream.

Some of the book was so repetitive. I was also confused by the whole Elena thing. It was like Elena was trying to kill Nova. Then, she was on Nova's side. Then she was a 200 year old woman on the supernatural council? She was a spy, but then changed her mind after the prison break and decided to help Nova again? It was all so confusing. You know what else was annoying? Nova never really wanted anyone to die and it seemed so naive and lame. Marcus ends up being a spy, but she gives him the opportunity to fight with them after he'd already betrayed them? Seriously, it was ridiculous. I'm surprised her suicidal empathy hasn't killed her yet.
I'll probably read the last book, but I can't say I'm overly excited about it. The plot is all over the place and it's like reading a fairy tale.

Disappointed

So the plot jumps and the story changes. Things are out of order and overall from book one to book two do not make sense. It may be reverse harem; however, if you are looking for any spice, it is severely lacking. The storyline had potential. It is interesting enough to not be a DNF; however, poorly done enough to make me wish I had not started and saddened that I have four more books to go. Character building was slapped on you and not built. You may care about the team, but it was poorly built. The struggle is real and my honest opinion is do not start.

not good

i genuinely feel like the author just didn’t know what she was writing half the time. everything was rushed, information was contradictory between one sentence and the next, stuff that happened in the first book apparently just never happened according to this book and timelines were completely screwed up compared to the first book. the author either needs to pay more attention to what she’s writing, or get a much better editor to go through her books. the concept and plot are interesting but everything was way too rushed and not fleshed out at all

Plot issues

The ending of book 1 and the beginning of book 2 do not correlate. Because of this plot disconnect, the story does not flow seamlessly. While I love the characters, the Author s choice to change the behavior of the FMC from kind and not believing in killing, to someone who kills without thought is disconcerting. So, while I hope the next book is better, the fact it only had 3 stars has me worried. I will give it a chance.

not sure how to feel

This books has lots of mistakes. Says about killing 12 shadow council members. But didn’t kill 2 of them???? Only 10. But said 12. Then reg council says they join even though 2 r traitors and keep going back and forth on helping or hindering. Maybe a new author. I’m not sure but mistakes and a lot more could be explained. Book moves very quick. Maybe that’s y I keep reading.

Enjoyable installment in the series

How many ways can people betray or double cross them good lord... the layers of wrongdoing are almost tedious. Still enjoyable story.
