Shan Marin grew up on adventure stories, sword and sorcery fantasy, and old-school science fiction. She pursued a career in Journalism to fulfill her desire to write, but it turns out she’s not nearly hard-nosed as she would like to believe. Better to leave that to the characters she loves to write about. After traveling for many years, she finally settled in Canada, where she writes fast-paced, fantasy and paranormal romance novels. She is obsessed with ice-cream, lilac trees, and bad guys who do terrible things for good reasons.

Definitely invested in this interesting world and can’t wait to read more. Witches werewolves and vampires are all mortal enemies.. and what happens when you get them all mated together?!
This is a huge surprise for me, I didn't expect it to be this good oh so good. I can't wait for book 2 hope it won't be too long to wait. This is a five star all the way. Its fast paced and exciting.
I couldn't get passed a few chapters. The first thing that really messed me up was the execution being that a kid was involved it messed me up a bit. I also had the feeling our princess was a spoiled sheltered child who didn't really look to much into anything obviously since she sat through the murder of Which she thinks is the last of an entire race without care. I got to the point where all h*** let loose and our H is drugged and in a truck fleeing with the 3men she meet not earlier. Now as she wakes she is like all ugly queeny attitude. " do you know who I am " do u know who my daddy is" .. I can't wear this! I'm a luna! (ewww). Then she starts bossing the guy into intimacy? Yeah that's where I had to stop. I can't stand an entitled women child who thinks herself this damn important. Hard pass
A fantastic start to a paranormal reverse harem romance series, following a shifter Princess with secrets even from herself. An action packed high adrenaline story filled with adventure, suspense, mystery, secrets, betrayal, danger, corruption, sexy scenes, hot males, twists and turns culminating in a cliffhanger ending leading to book two. A new to me author, Shan Marin has exceeded my expectations with this exciting story and I look forward to finding out what happens next in this series.

This very well-written story and book in the The Luna's Unchosen Mates Book Series is an intriguing story with well-thought out scenes and characters.

Levana is the Luna, future Queen of her pack. On the night of her ascension, Alphas from all packs come to try for a position as her mate. Her Uncle, is a traitor that poisons and kills her family. In the chaos that ensues, the Luna escapes and is found injured by three members of the Broken Rock Pack: Nazir, Deon and Zeke. The Broken Rock Pack are considered "Hexen," shifters with magic. Levana was lead to believe Hexen are the enemy. Nazir is instructed by the leader of the Hexen to bring Levana to their headquarters. They meet a Vampire along the way who is also interested in Levana and tags along on their journey.
There's some good tension because Nazir and Deon are reluctant to become involved with Levana. However, the characters felt a little superficial.

An addictive book that grips you from page one. Fantastic characters that I fell in love with. A unique world of supernatural creatures, perfect for fans of Vampire Diaries and the Originals. I can't wait to read book two.

Cliffhangers stink. I hate them. Levena is such an interesting character. She goes through so much in this book. She is such an amazing character. I would love to read more about her and interesting adventures.

I really like the way the three Lycan men find the Luna at the gathering then become on the run for their lives together .Their marked as her mates one by one against their will and she later regrets doing it but also can't think of letting them go.
“Yes, tonight is Levanna’s Ascension. She will reach her first mating heat, and her father is using the gathering to cement peace between packs and ensure harmony by allowing her to choose her mates from among the gathered Alpha Chiefs.”
I’m not gonna lie after reading this I was so confused and had so many questions.
Interesting urban fantasy reverse harem romance with unexpected turns, magic, action, enemies to allies, suspenseful, and likeable characters. There were a few proofreading errors. Overall, I liked it enough I want to keep reading, kind of ends on a low stakes cliff hanger.
This is a fast pace and interesting start to a new series. There are unexpected twists, chemistry, intrigue, mystery and adventure. The storyline captivated and held my attention. The cliffhanger makes excited for the next book in this series.
Wow I love Shan her writting is always amazing! I fell in love with her book oh for luck's sake! and now she is one of my top must read authors and this is going to be another fabulos series!!! I devoured this book and off to find book 2
I loved it! It was heartbreaking in the beginning and then it was fast paced for the rest of the book. I liked the dif POV’s, I hope the fmc gets her happily ever after. And finds out the truth of what happened to her fav brother Luther. Also that she gets revenge!
Still confused at what a Luna is…I kinda hoped for more relationship development in this book but I know since it was a short book there was only so much that could happen.
This is the second book I have read by the author and I really like it . I love the writing style and I can’t wait to see what happens next in the series .
Interesting first book with plenty of action, plot and beginnings of romance between the main characters. I received a copy and am voluntarily leaving a review.
