My Thoughts - 4 out of 5 Unicorns - I really liked it!!!
The cover is awesome, and I really love them all :)
This is the 3rd book in this serial novella series. This means the books must be read in order or you will not understand what is going on. This is for adults only due to some of the content.
This part did not contain as much action as the last two parts. I enjoyed reading it. This was mostly related to what happened at the end of the last part. There is also some added mystery and treachery though I’m not sure yet what exactly is happening yet.
I recommend this to anyone who has enjoyed the first two parts and you are probably vampire and shifter fans :) If you haven’t read part one, I highly recommend you start there first :)

I received an ARC of this book in exchange for my honest review.
Wow! The suspense is killing me! This series is awesome. It is completely different from any other paranormal book that I have previously read, but in a good way. The characters grab onto you and drag you along on their journey of survival, tripping over many hazards thrown their way. As the series progresses, the plot thickens, with people disappearing for no reason and with no trace, while others try to decipher what is going on. I am so anxious to find out what will happen between Derek, Brendan and Carmela! Each episode brings the fire higher and higher, as the heat starts to gather between the three. I will be "not-so-patiently" waiting for the next instalment. Loving this series! You will want to read it from part one, as it is a serial that continues, with each part ending in a cliffhanger. I'm sure you will enjoy it, I know I sure am!

Uhoh! What has Carmela gotten herself into? Derek now has more problems of his own but he has vowed to protect her, but with Brendan making the same vow to her things might have just gotten worse. They are both very amazing males that can make her very happy and give her the life she deserves. I hope this little love triangle doesn't blow up with the danger they all are facing hitting the next level up. Carmela did some more growing up and getting strong now that she isn't being hindered by that sick bastard of a father. These 3 are going to have to learn to work together to come out on the other side of this mess happy. I love how we are given more insight into how these three regard the world around then and how these males really feel about her and each other. I can't wait to read how all this develops more and the out come.

DARKLY COMPELLING, COMPLETELY CAPTIVATING & FANTASTICALLY ENTERTAINING!!! Beneath The Broken Moon is a brand new shifter/vampire romance series from Sarah Makela and it totally rocks. It has a little bit of everything I love in a great book! If you love fantasy, magic, adventure, suspense, intrigue, social, political and family conflict, action, paranormal beings, romance and angst, then this is definitely the book for you! Please be aware, this is Part Three of a series, not a stand alone story, so there is a cliffhanger. The story is dark, exciting, original, imaginative, deeply compelling, very well written and edited. The characters are fascinating, captivating, intriguing and engaging. Makela expertly combines these elements into a brilliantly imaginative work of paranormal romantic fiction and fantasy. And this is only the beginning!
Book One: The story takes place in a somewhat dystopian future world shattered by a nuclear event on the moon causing the near destruction of the human race. The remaining humans are now aware of the nocturnes and seeing them as a threat, seek to kill or capture them. What better way for a government or the rich to thrive than by oppressing the less fortunate and simultaneously keep down the population. Werewolves are now almost extinct and food sources for vampires are scarce. Even though they were age old enemies, some vampires now craved werewolf blood claiming it to be a divine elixir, almost like a drug that holds a strange allure because of the power the werewolves harness thereby further fueling the centuries old feud between the two mortal enemies. Werewoman Carmela Santiago lives in this strange new world, a werewolf born to an abusive, manipulative father. Her only value being her womb and her ability to be mated to an alpha werewolf, a prearranged marriage with someone she doesn't even know, planned and organized by her cruel father. Her future is to become an Alpha Queen and spend her life unhappy and doing nothing but producing pups to replenish their species. But after being raised by a ruthless, abusive father and seeing firsthand the horror of her parents loveless marriage, she wants no part of a prearranged pairing knowing it will only bring unhappiness and heartache. She wants nothing more than to be loved and live a life with tenderness and respect. No matter how much she dreamed, she was of noble birth and her future had already been decided. Hmm....I wonder??? Carmen was not allowed to leave her home often but her father has finally agreed to allow her to go to the theater with her cousin, Chandra. Unfortunately, the theater is raided by the Cazador, human hunters who either kill nocturnes or capture them to use as experiments to test their weapons for maximum efficiency. Carmela is severely injured trying to escape the hunters and is almost captured when she is suddenly rescued by a handsome vampire. Oh my! Did she just think a vampire was handsome? Werewolves don't think of vampires as handsome or fantasize about them - they are mortal enemies. Nonetheless, vampire Derek Ashmore saves the beautiful young werewolf and even provides medical attention, only because he used to be a medical doctor, of course. Why else would he be guilty of such a foolish act? They were enemies, after all. Although Derek is a member of the Vampire High Council, he still believes that nocturnes would soon become extinct if they did unite and present a united front to the government and to the Cazador. It was smart thinking and necessary in order for their species to survive. If he could get the others to see it as such. But maybe it was also because he was attracted to the irresistible young werewoman?? Maybe because he wanted her?? What? She is so beautiful but he's an ancient and a member of the High Council; He couldn't afford to have such thoughts. She had even admitted to him that she was to be given to another werewolf in a prearranged agreement by her family before she escaped his home. He would just have to trust that she would tell no one about him helping her and forget the whole thing. But could he forget the beautiful, brave young werewoman that was promised to someone else? Even if so wanted, it seemed fate was surely against him.
Book Two: Derek and his friend Elliot Quinn, another council member, encountered Carmela and her future mate, Brendan Kelly, several nights later. Carmela and Brendan had been injured and were being chased by the Cazador. What's a vampire to do? Why rescue her, of course - again, and her future mate. What? Brendan Kelly is the son of Neal Kelly, the Alpha of Alphas. Upon seeing his future mate, Carmela Santiago, he knew immediately she was the one for him. He and his wolf are immediately drawn to the beautiful young woman and will stop at nothing to have her. He suspects she is being mistreated by her father and wants to help but knows he must gain her trust. What he sees later only serves to reinforce his believe that Carmela knows much more than she's telling - about more than just her father, especially after seeing her with the strange vampire who helped them escape the Cazador. He doesn't want to lose her and is determined to keep her safe from her father, and the vampire that seems all too familiar with his Carmela. Oh my glory! Will Brendon be able to help Carmela? Can he save her from her father and the Cazador?
Book Three: After Carmela and Brendan are attacked by the Cazador during their date, they're rescued and taken to Brendan's home by Derek and his friend, Elliot. After an ugly confrontation between Carmela and her father at Brendan's home, she returns home with her father, William Santiago. William attacks his own daughter and attempts to rape her and had it not been for her cousin Chandra's help, he would have succeeded. Carmela is more determined than ever to escape her father but where can she go, to whom can she turn? She could go to the Outskirts but it's dangerous there and few survive. She's severely injured not only from her encounter with the Cazador but also from her father's vicious attack and can't defend herself. She can't go to her intended mate, Brendan; his father is the Alpha of Alphas and would most likely force her to return to her home and to her father - again. What can she do? She has only one other option - only one other person to whom she can turn - her mortal enemy, vampire Derek Ashmore. He's rescued her twice already but will he help her again? Will her enemy once again become her savior? Yes, Derek can't help himself. He is inescapably drawn to the beautiful she-wolf and can no longer deny his feelings for her. Although cross-species relationships are strictly forbidden, his protective instincts roar to life. He will protect her but who will protect him? Derek is also being targeted but by whom? Having been mistaken for Derek, Elliot is abducted from Derek's home by a necromancer. A necromancer? So, it's not another vampire out to destroy him but a necromancer. But why? The necromancer has also kidnapped Carmela's cousin, Chandra, mistaking her for Carmela. What the heck? What will the necromancer do once he realizes his two captives are not his intended targets. Oh my glory! Will Brendan be able to find his Carmela? He knows she has feelings for the vampire but he doesn't care, she's his! Will Derek be able to protect himself and Carmela? Do Brendan and Derek both, dare I say it, love the lovely Carmela? Can Carmela be attracted to both Brendan and to Derek? Could she be falling in love with her intended mate and her mortal enemy? Will Elliot and Chandra be rescued before it's too late? Oh my....I guess we'll have to read the book. No spoilers from me but I will say this...... Handsome, sexy vampire-check! Handsome alpha wolf shifter-check! Beautiful virgin werewoman-check! Danger, murder, action, suspense, mystery and dangerous enemies on every front-check! Instant attraction, sweet romance, a love triangle and heartbreaking angst-you bet! I can hardly wait to read Book Four! Fabulous Entertainment and an awesome read!

Silly Vampire. Shifts are for Wolves. 5 HOWLS, I mean STARS
Things would never be the same again. OH WHOA!! WOW!! FINALLY this story starts to head in a direction I hoped it would! It's just so FANGERRIFIC and FANGTABULOUS!! How could I resist? It is hard to accept the evils of Carmela's father, so I hope he gets his in the end! As for Carmela - being torn between two honorable and oh so very delectable men?!? Regardless of their species...SWEET! 'He knew how to make me feel so amazing.' I think she's earned some good in her life! Assuming of course, that they ARE honorable and are there for the right reasons AND with good intentions...although by 'good' I mean 'naughty'... *wicked grin* Of course, way more questions pop up than were answered. But good or bad, that is to be expected in a serial. You can almost feel this story rising up, like big waves ready to crash, having the story arc to hit that one huge turning point that will change everything - history, disputes, cross-species alliances and so much more! Because I am positive that we are in for one helluva ride in the upcoming final 2 parts! At least I think it ends with the fifth part! I'm not sure my patience, blood pressure or nerves could take much more! I cannot wait to read the rest!! Sarah doesn't have any need for vampire mind control powers because her incredible talent/gift speaks for itself! I am completely caught Beneath the Broken Moon!
I was gifted a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Beneath the Broken Moon part Three is a continuing series and although you don't have to read them in order I would suggest that you do so you can understand the characters and everything going on with their situations.
In this novella we find that Carmela has run away from home because of her injuries inflicted by the Cazador and her own father. She is out wandering around and finds herself in front of Derek Ashmore's home. Derek lets Carmela in and is committed to helping her heal both phsically and mentally. Carmela's father William finds out she has run away and sends her cousin Chandra out looking for her.
Things happen and both Chandra and Derek's friend Elliot get abducted. Alpha werewolf Brendan Kelly is worried about his future mate. He doesn't trust William and knows he is hiding something and he is determined to find out what. He is also determined to have Carmela no matter what. This story is a quick read and gets you deeper into the plot. What will happen with the three main characters and their family and friends? Will they be able to work together and how will that change the dynamics of the thousand year old fued. I was given this book as an ARC and just asked to give an honest review. I enjoyed reading this novella and can't wait for the next part to come out. The plot is thickening and I wonder where it will lead. Sarah does an excellent job of building the characters and the suspense.

Sarah does an excellent job of building the characters and the suspense.

Intrigue! In the third part of this great series more questions come up; Derek takes Carmela in and Brendan faces off with her father to find her. After nearly being raped Carmela is not sure where to turn except for Derek, she fears Branden will return her to her father. Derek still wants her but she has become defensive and won’t let anyone touch her. Elliot shows up and worries that Derek is risking too much taking Carmela in; an unexpected knock comes on the front door and nothing but trouble follows as Elliot disappears. Chandra is sent to find Carmela and is kidnapped by a necromancer (who thinks she is Carmela), her only clue as to how or why is his cryptic “interspecies relationships are forbidden”. Meanwhile sick of being put off Branden confronts Carmela’s father and then tracks her to Derek’s place. Much to his distaste he tells Branden to take her somewhere safe so that he can search for Elliot but Carmela insists on helping him…the tension of waiting is going to drive me crazy!!! Great read!

This series is getting better and more intense. The story takes off as the end of book two with our h running for her life. Her father is one messed up individual but we knew that from the first part. Carmela runs straight to Derek without thought because she knew he would take her in. Brendan is also worried about her and is willing to do anything to keep her safe and to make her his mate. He knows that she is interested in Derek and vice versa but will he be willing to have him a vampire in their life? Meanwhile Chandra and Elliot find themselves kidnapped by the Cazador and must come together to get out of their predicament. This book also ends in a cliffhanger and I can't wait for the next part.

Carmela finally can take no more abuse from her father and runs away. She runs back to Derek's house and he is taken aback by the abuse to her person.
Carmela is torn, is it possible to have feelings for 2 very different men in every sense of the word, Derek is her kinds sworn enemy a vampire, but will the son of the Alpha of Alphas Brendan, still want her when he finds out about her shame
In the meantime Brendan is very suspicious of what may be happening to Carmela and decides to find out for himself.
Chandra and Elliot are kidnapped, who and why are they kidnapping them?
This story is getting very intriguing and mysterious. Can't wait for part 4!

The story is slowly progressing Carmela is finally fed up with all the abuse and drama going on at home and takes matters into your own hands but she struggles with her decisions finally making up her mind she goes to the only place where she feels safe Derek home. While she finds comfort being with Derek and incident occurred Derek best friend disappears with out a trace so now she has to deal with the guilt of bringing danger to his home. The story once again end on a cliffhanger but I'm so anxious to find out what will happen between Derek,Brendan and Carmela will she finally come clean and tell them both that she has feels for them I guess I'll have to wait and see.

Though I think Derek is a nice guy, for a vampire that is I am still a huge Brendan fan. I am rooting for Brendon all the way. I think Brendon is connected to Carmela in a way. He might not be in love with her but their mating will be more than arrange marriage to him. He cares for her deeply.
In this series Elliott and Chandra are kidnapped. Brendan, Derek, and Carmela are trying to figure out who would take them . Brendon and Derek also find out what happened to Carmela that would lead her to running away from home. Can Brendan handle the news that his future mate was almost raped by her father? Would he judge her for all that is going on? So cannot wait until book 4.

This third part to the series really takes off as Carmela injured by her father goes to Derek the vampire who swears to do everything to protect her even though it is against every rule. While Brendan tries to reach her to see that she is ok. Chandra gets kidnapped and finds herself with Elliot there are really higher things at work here. It takes you amongst it all and you get to meet the other characters more in depth, you can't help but want to keep the story going and I can't wait to see how they all work together to maybe get the answers they need.......

Where to go?
Carmela runs off after her father tries to attack her in their own house. She doesn’t feel like she can go to Brandon and his Alpha father without causing reprisal against her family. So she ends up going to Derek the vampire, who are suppose to be enemy of each other. A few kidnapping happen in this story and the kidnappers don’t realize the nabbed the wrong people. Brandon wants Carmela and doesn’t want the engagement to be broken because of the things her father said to his. Very exciting and entertaining to read this well written segment of the series.

I am really enjoying the series. I just want each part to last longer. It would be hard to choose between Derek and Brendan. They both really care about her and want to protect her from her father's abuse. In this part, there is more risk for everyone. Inter-species relationships are forbidden and Derek has been allowing her to stay with him to keep her safe. There are no easy choices for them and I really hope her father will get what he deserves for all the violent acts he has taken against his wife, daughter and niece. I received a copy from the author in return for a honest review.

Beneath the Broken Moon just gets better and better. I can’t wait to see the conclusion of all the intrigue. I also can’t decide who Carmela should end up with Derek or Brendan. I want her to have them both! There is still the mystery of who is controlling the Cazador and why aren’t werewolves and vampires supposed to associate? We also get a little more Chandra and Elliot. I hope they get both get more in the next part. The danger is getting closer to Carmen including the danger that her own family brings to her. I’m on edge waiting for more!

Normally not a fan of a serial but this storyline continues to intrigue and captivate my attention. I can hardly wait until the next part comes out just to see what happens. In this part you find that Carmela finally gets away from her father and runs to vampire Derek for protection knowing she can't run to her werewolf betrothed Brendan. Meanwhile Brendan is worried about Carmela and finds her at Derek's home. Story ends with a cliffhanger. Received an ARC copy from author for a honest review.

After being beaten and nearly raped by her father, Carmela runs away and goes to Derek. Chandra is ordered by Carmela's father to find her and bring her home, but before she can she is kidnapped. Derek's friend Elliot has also been kidnapped. Brendan searches for Carmela and finds her ... I'm looking forward to the next book in this exciting series!

With each book in this series I'm loving it even more. I'm so angry with Carmela's father and hope he gets what's coming to him soon. Carmela ran to Derek because no one would look for her there except for Brendan. So who will she choose? However there are more important mAtters to deal with first. Where's Elliot and Chandra? Who has them and why? I'm so excited for the next book. It can't get here quick enough.
June 10, 2015
I am on pins and needles here...... I am so caught up in this story and now really can't wait for the next part to be finished!!! I am still not sure who I want Carmela to end up with but am more and more leaning towards her being with Brendan. I can't wait to see how the author winds everything up and hope that Carmela's father gets what he deserves in the end. I can't recommend this series highly enough....I just wish the cliffhangers were not quite such a sudden stop!
June 12, 2015
Oh my, things are definitely getting interesting even more now. With Carmela leaving home and going to Derek's house, she shows some trust in her weakened state. But things are happening, her cousin is now missing, Derek's vampire friend abducted, and Brendan wanting to know if shes ok. All these crazy and exciting things going on. I am so torn between Derek and Brendan, both have their qualities. I can't wait for the next book! Awesome series!

Another great installment in an amazing series!
The story is getting deeper and deeper. I can't figure out where it's headed (which makes for a great if frustrating story!). I like the main characters Derek, Carmela, and Brendan, and want only good things for them but, boy, I cannot see where this is going. The bad guys seem really insidious, mysterious, and powerful. I can't wait for the next installment!

Another great read. Continued from the cliffhanger of part two, the story has progressed to even more excitement. There is the Cazador who are after the night creatures and the horrible father of Carmela. Kidnappings and freelancers only add to the array of goings on. What will happen with Elliott and Chandra? I can't wait for the next, and final, installment to see how it all ends!
June 10, 2015
I am fully enjoying this story. The twists in the plot have me sitting on the edge of my seat wanting to see what happens next. The cliffhangers are killing me though and I can't wait for part 4 to come out so that I can dive into the story even deeper and hopefully more answers will come along to the questions that are lingering.
