Devil's Snare
Jenny is the latest of her Native American ancestors to take on the role of monster huntress. Armed with her enchanted tribal tomahawk, she's on a quest to rid Texas–and maybe the world–of the dark things that lurk in the shadows and prey on humanity.
In Devil's Snare, the sixth episode of the Moonsongs series, she finds herself a prisoner of an unspeakably evil man with an army of werewolves at his command. The pieces of her puzzled past finally begin to come together, and she learns a horrible truth about her very existence: Blood is thicker than water and the stains can last a lifetime.
Devil's Snare is approximately 14,000 words of humor, horror, and paranormal mystery. It is the sixth installment of the Moonsongs stories, an ongoing series of New Adult, urban fantasy novelettes by author E.J. Wesley.
**THE AUTHOR HIGHLY RECOMMENDS READING VAMPIRE'S BALL, MOONSONGS EPISODE 5, PRIOR TO READING THIS INSTALLMENT**

Praise for the Moonsongs series:
"You won't find any romantic, skinny, sparkling, werewolves here. What you will find is something scary and atmospheric like Stephen King's "Cycle of the Werewolf" that will leave you wanting more." Michael Offutt, author of Slipstream
"--a tense story with some unique elements. A very good read!" Alex J. Cavanaugh, Amazon Bestselling Author of CassaFire.
"--reminds me of TV episodes... I'm talking good, interesting TV. The kind that draws you in and leaves you eagerly awaiting next week's episode." Books & Things Blog
"The writing is amazing - even in just a few short pages, you can see that right off the bat. it really engages you in the story and keeps you reading along until the end." Missy's Reads & Reviews Blog
"E.J. is a fantastic storyteller and an auto-buy for me." Rob Girl's Book Reviews

About the author
E.J. Wesley
8 books208 followersGrowing up in small town Oklahoma, there were limits on the amount and types of entertainment at my disposal. Perhaps that’s why I set my imagination free. After collecting degrees in psychology and counseling, life brought me to Missouri, Texas, and Northern California—where I currently read, write, and live. I fill my spare time playing video games, watching movies, planning for the zombie apocalypse, reading graphic novels, and playing with my dogs.
My passion for New Adult literature led me to producing the weekly New Adult Lit Chat on Twitter, and contributing to the NA Alley Blog. I’m also the author of the Moonsongs Books, a series of New Adult, speculative-rural fantasy novelettes.

5+++++ STARS. Before I fangirl over Devil's Snare (my absolute favorite in the Moonsongs series), here's a taste of my first encounter with this story with Blood Fugue...
Jenny does her best to be your typical hostile gaming hermit. Then she opens a seemingly innocuous email. Suddenly she has a living grandfather she believed long dead, commits to doing a favor that involves bullets, and discovers a destiny that will test her tendency to push people away.
Jenny is all sass and toughness as in the girl sports a purple mohawk and feels naked without her tomahawk. But Jenny isn't whole without her best friend Marshal. He's the bee's knees (in designer loafers). They come across some seriously gruesome baddies and they survive with a healthy dose of fear and an even healthier dose of humor. I love them! In Devil's Snare we see through Marshal's eyes at the start, which rocks the planet because Marsh isn't just sitting back being the gay sidekick. In E.J.'s world of monsters, you sink or swim or get eaten. He can write gnarly things that bite. I'm telling you.
After a suspenseful glimpse into what Marshal is going through, we dive into Jenny's precarious situation. Back to the suspenseful glimpse for a second...I was reading my kindle at the window of my favorite coffee place waiting for my drink. In the few minutes it took them to make my white mocha I had sunk so deep into the story that I jumped when the barista reached toward me with my coffee. The writing is that good.
If you haven't started the Moonsongs series, dive in. They're divided up into short novellas E.J. calls episodes. 6 episodes so far and I cannot wait for the next one!

Yes! This series just gets better and better. The writing is superb and the characters are likeable. Each book has humor, suspense, fuzzy awww moments, sad moments, and edge-of-your-seat thrills. The paranormal aspects are fresh, and the descriptions are very well done. I want more!
