Moon Chosen #1
Twelve kidnapped young women, a lonely island, and a hauntingly sensual curse.
A young woman named Sophie finds herself among the twelve kidnapped from their homes and taken to Wolf Island. There they are forced to participate in the Choosing, an ancient ritual that binds them to a man who is more than he seems. She refuses to submit to their demands and plots only to escape, but she finds herself entranced by the man to whom she is bound. His alluring eyes catch her like a moth to a flame, and she finds herself falling into a world of dark desires and feral lust.

Moon Chosen started out good. I didn't know what was going to happen to Sophia and the other girls. Where were they being taken. I liked that Sophia fought back. She didn't let these guys push her around, she spoke up, fought, ran, tried to escape. This book kept me reading. But then it changed. One minute she's a fighter the next she's quivering in the guys arms. I'm like "what the hell Sophia". I thought she would be cool and stand out from the other girls who cried and did nothing to escape but she just couldn't fight the "feelings " or the " blood". Well at least it started off good. I do want to know what happens next. How Sophia will adjust and fit in, in an island filled with werewolves.

Mixed feelings here, I have positives and negatives to say. If the author should read this I hope they find it a useful critique. I try to never just bash anyone or belittle anything creative they've done.
For the very beginning I'm going to use the hero's journey in my critique - I felt like the author skipped the ordinary world entirely and started right in the middle of reluctance - there was a moment within it when she did briefly think about her job, but for me it wasn't enough. So I feel the introduction was too abrupt. I had a little trouble suspending disbelief with the setting as well, but not so much that I couldn't get into the characters.
Character development was done well for the very short time we got to know the side characters, and the main character without a doubt was a very brave, indomitable, and moral woman, shown in several instances which I appreciated. The possible male protagonist (who seemed to begin as an antagonist) while not given much action or speech to express his personality was still fleshed out well as a character through his demeanor and subtle expressions.
The situation itself - the choosing - was far different than the norm in the supernatural canon -which I love! There is nothing I enjoy more when reading about vampires, werewolves, or anything else of that sort, and seeing the breed and their world in an entirely different light than I have in the past was a major plus. Unique world building is something I look for.
Can I add the sex scene was delicious? As an aspiring erotica author I'm really looking at the sex scenes with a sharp eye. If you've read a lot of erotica you know it can range wildly from coy hinting with a fade to black, to XXX blow by blows of every body part involved in the act, and personally I would prefer to write something in between. It's hard to find good examples of that. So I'd like to say THANK YOU to Mac Flynn for hitting what I think of as the sweet spot as a sexual wordsmith.
My last criticism - it was too short, and definitely a cliff hanger. I felt like nothing had been resolved. It hinted at an escape and a possible ally so the main character never moved passed upheaval to acceptance, and that was the most I was offered as a denouement. Yes, the book was free, and it was book one. This was probably done to encourage you to buy the second book. My first thought was the second book would be just as short and may or may not give resolution. This is speculation, but enough for me to not have my curiosity piqued. I wouldn't expect complete resolution. I just feel if there is a cliffhanger it should come from a new problem that surfaced towards the end, or at least give resolution to sideline problems that came up during the telling of the story.
So as a sandwich, all the stuff on the inside was pretty tasty, but I'd put it on sourdough or rye or some other bread next time. Mac Flynn writes well, and I feel if the author keeps putting work out they'll be a great writer. And I would like to stress this was a very short story. So of course some elements I want to see will be missing for the sake of brevity. And it is my personal choice. I understand others won't feel the same, but I prefer shorts such as this remain stand alone stories. If you like the world and characters and want to reuse them then do so, maybe even write a trilogy later but use stories with a much higher word count.

Oooooo the curse of the short story. When they are good they are too short. This needed to be a full-on book, but alas, there is a series of short stories. I want to read them all now.
Sighs.
This was a unique story. There is more to this story even though it is so short and it seems like a cut and dry story. Depth! Yes, there is depth in this PNR.
A group of gals are kidnapped to be sacrificed upon the altar of matrimony. They are blood-tied to the pack and their future mates. I wonder WHY they have to get a human woman and turn them into werewolves. Can they only have sons naturally? I am curious and I want to learn more about this world. You see the story in Sophia’s eyes so you know as little as she does. So confusing, so intriguing at the same time.
I’m glad there is no insta-love for Sophia and her mate. They both did not choose this and now they must learn to love each other. Yes, there is some lust, but that was due to the blood-tie ritual. I’m glad they are both trying to escape in some shape or form. He wants to break this tie and she wants to save the other girls and get back home.
I do hope we find out more about Sophie and her human life. She feels flat right now. I’ll give this a pass right now because 1) this is a short story and 2) she is in the middle of trying to escape and she hasn’t had a moment to think about her life before all this nonsense. However, I hope the next installment gives her some more character building. Of course, I can’t wait to learn more about this world as well. MORE PLEASE!!!!
I’ll give this 3 stars. Pretty good, but it is lacking in some spots.

This is one of those books where the main character narrates/speaks in an antiquated voice that doesn't suit the supposedly contemporary time period that the story takes place in. Which means the author wasn't paying attention to what they were doing.
People who live in "rough neighborhoods" don't talk about it like this: My confused fuzzy mind tried to comprehend what was the matter. This wasn't my small dank apartment in my rough neighborhood nor was it the large department store I worked in. Cheap, broad descriptions in the place of actual character building.
Nice title but I'm not interested in more. And unfortunately it seems this author makes up a chunk of the free paranormal romance novels on Kindle.

the errors in grammar in this series we're completely exhausting to try to read through. whoever the proofreader is should really consider a new career I mean this was ridiculous. I have never read a book with so many errors in it. other than that I found the story intriguing and enjoyable. I did not enjoy how short the stories were. what happened after the battle did they indeed have a little girl was the cursed truly broken. there's so much detail it could have been added to make this story even better.

Ok, Reserving Judgment on Continuing Series
I'm not sure that I'm interested in continuing this series. The beginning of this story captured my imagination quickly with the kidnapping of human women as mates for werewolves. As the story continues the main couple seem to fall into a very personal relationship too quickly, for my taste. I guess that takes away from my accepting this story as believable. I guess I expected there to be more hardship occurring for the couple before they reached nirvana.

Already hooked on this series
Wow, this book started off with a bang and I was immediately hooked on Sophia's story. So far I really love the characters and the story is just getting started it seems like. It ends on a cliffhanger. Sophia is snarky and has a, won't back down, attitude. She was sarcastic and funny, even in serious moments. I wasn't able to learn as much about Erik so far, but I already like him from what I've read. He doesn't seem to share the other's views and seems a bit stubborn but also caring. I can't wait to find out what happens.

A dozen women drugged and kidnapped, none knowing what is going to happen to them. They have been chosen as potential mates for werewolves on a secluded Island. Sophie tries to help everyone escape, but ends up being the first one forced to drink blood, and as the blood burns her body, a tattoo shows up on her arm. She is to be the prince's bride, though he did not add his blood to the bowl of mating. Sophie is now a werewolf, and what will she do?

While this one has potential I just couldn't get over the fact that in another dwelling a young girl who was kidnapped walking home from school has potential been given to a man as his bride. That made me mad.
I'm not a fan of the kidnapping aspect in general but if it had started differently I could get behind the two main characters disdain hopefully turning to love. Not enough to spent 2.99 on a 70 page book though.

Three stars because...
Good plot so far but it needs to be way longer. I wouldn’t even call this a book. You should’ve combined the first two together before starting a second book in this series. I didn’t feel like it was worth my money for $2.99. Otherwise it’s a good story with a strong female character. I felt like they could’ve resisted the pull that first night and the few others that follow but it was good. Can’t wait to read what her wolf form is.

Not a novel so much as a serialised story. If she wanted people to buy the next six stories then Flynn should have paid more attention to spelling and grammar, especially when she charges $4-5 each for the rest.
Also not fussed on a story that begins with kidnapping of women for sexual relations, even if the ceremony and moon makes them into willing victims. Not much different to kidnapping and drugs.
2.5 stars.

Liked the story...
But HATE cliffhangers! Why the necessity of a cliffhanger? What happens if the author never writes the continuation? Then you are stuck wondering what the hell happened.

A short novel which leaves on a cliff hanger which is a shame. Love these series of Werewolf novels. They are not only dark but brutal for werewolf novels. Just the right amount of steamy scenes and danger.

OH MY, I've been kidnapped. I will not think just act.
OH MY, I've just been mated. I will not think just blame others.
Oh My, everything is going wrong. I will not act like I am a functional adult.
If your looking for a female who thinks this ain't it

I have given this author a chance to impress me. I down loaded almost 30 books, not realizing that they were only the first book in the series. This author has quite an imagination and is a little different but i will read one more and see if I will buy more in the series.

Wolf
This looks to be a new spin on werewolf lore. Being transformed without a bite or genetics. Sadly need next book to see if anything else changes.

Waste of time.
Don't bother. A sex trafficking short story, gross and disturbing. Any author who promotes modern day kidnapping has a screw loose. Pass.

Seemed like a prequel
Maybe it was in any case it was way too short I was just getting into the story and bam it was over. What I read was good but this seems to be a long series

Really short
It isn't a complete story and it's super short. It has great potential just wish it was a complete book.

12 women kidnapped and sent to an unknown island. This is where their adventures begin.
Easy read, fast paced & good characters; but not a complete book.

Good book but very short
It's a decently good book, Super short and really only 1 good part.
There were some grammer errors too. But overall, not bad.
