Once Upon a Monster #2
Binding Moon
Steal the diamond. Avoid the beast. Make a fortune.
Luna Winchester knows how to find precious gemstones and metal. The magic passed down from her witch of a mother allows her to hear them sing wherever they are. No matter how hard it is to find them. Naturally, she's the best thief in the city. So when a gang pins her to a wall and tells her to steal the Diamond of Crestfall or die, she's going to steal the diamond.
There's just one problem. The Beast of Dead Man's Crossing.
Rumor has it, the nobleman who protects the diamond is the worst sort. Not a real beast, of course, but a man who had never failed to hang a thief. Which means Luna has to be more careful, more tricky, than ever before. The challenge is a welcome one. She'd always loved a man who underestimated her.
Except it isn't that easy. The diamond calls to her, yes, but the beast is tricky. He captures her on the very first night and offers her a counter deal. Work for him, hang the gang members, and he'll let her live. Luna wants to live, so she lies through her teeth. But the nights are long in Dead Man's Crossing, and a real beast does prowl the nobleman's house. A beast with fur, claws, fangs, and familiar eyes. Eyes she's starting to fall in love with.
For fans of werewolf alphas and gothic horror romance, howl at the moon with your new book boyfriend.

Emma Hamm is an instant-buy for me. This is easily my favorite of her works thus far. I LOVE this dumb couple who simp SO hard for each other they couldn’t POSSIBLY deserve each other. They’re so cute and I love them with my whole heart.
nope
June 27, 2023Juvenile writing that just doesn’t make sense somehow -
“….but then he rolled on top of the woman to stare down into her pretty, ridiculously attractive face.
Or well, what he could see of her face was attractive. A cloth binding covered most of it.”
Then why call it an attractive face if he couldn’t see most of it??!

Luna, daughter of a witch (and a feisty jewel thief) and Luther, an earl with a very dark (hairy) monstrous secret make a deal. I loved the gothic fantasy vibe.
A gem of a book.
I read the beautiful paperback edition - not listed on goodreads for some reason?

Good story
A witch that hears jewels speak and an Earl with a dark story make for an enjoyable read.
