Haunted Moon

Wow! Eerie, beautiful and sexy, I could not put this book down! If you are new to this series, these books take place in Seattle in a world where Earthside coexists with Otherworld, the place of the fae. There are three half-human, half-fae D'Artigo sisters (Camille the witch, Delilah the werecat and Menolly the vampire) who are trying to stop a demon named Shadow Wing from destroying both worlds. One of my favorite aspects about the Otherworld novels is the exchange of the point of view from sister to sister. Each book will focus on one sister and then rotate to the next in the following book. Although this series has been categorized as Paranormal Romance, it is far from harlequin. I would consider the Otherworld novels as mostly urban fantasy with a little bit of mystery and a few pages of hotness. I would not recommend diving into this book first. There is such a rich backstory to the series, so I would suggest starting with Witchling.Haunted Moon is told from the point of view of Camille, the older D'Artigo sister who is a witch and a priestess of the moon. As with most of Camille's books, expect an increase in yummy scenes. I enjoyed learning snippets of backstory from several of the characters, especially from Morio.Yasmine is a skilled story weaver who provides a large cast of characters, exotic locations and mythical creatures in a dark but beautiful world. Her story pacing was excellent as I wasn't overwhelmed nor was I ever bored. Her characters have distinct personalities, but she has a talent for making them slowly evolve over the course of the series. And once again, a thumbs-up to Tony Mauro for the ethereal cover art. Even my husband did a double take and pointed out that he liked it! I am now impatient for the next Otherworld novel Autumn Whispers (Delilah's fifth book) to be released in September 2013!
