PsyLED Unit Eighteen Senior Agent Rick LaFleur has a problem
and it is
going to take the whole team to solve it. He's woken up
naked near a
magical working with no clue as to how he arrived there.
Worse yet,
he's been antsy lately as his wereleopard is close to the
surface even
when the moon would dictate otherwise. Is someone specifically
summoning Rick? Unit Eighteen knows the magical working is
dangerous, but who or what is behind it? Meanwhile, Nell
Ingram is still
trying to find her way as the probie on the team, even as
her own
powers remain much of a mystery. Can Nell and the rest of Unit
Eighteen help stop whatever is going on before it's too late?
CIRCLE OF THE MOON is the
fourth book in the Soulwood series and should be read in the context of the series
as a whole.
Readers familiar with Faith Hunter's Jane Yellowrock series will note that events are
beginning
to occur concurrently between the two series. There may be
spoilers in
CIRCLE OF THE MOON if you
aren't familiar with the Jane
Yellowrock series. However, the Soulwood series can be read on its own
merits,
although, like me, you'll find yourself wanting to read the Jane Yellowrock books to
get
more of this great world Faith Hunter has crafted!
I love Nell and her fight to be independent! She's come a
long way from
the polygamous God's Cloud of Glory Church and I love that
she's
empowering her sister, Mud, to make her own choices rather
than take
ones foisted on her. We're still learning more about what
powers Nell
has as even she doesn't know the depth of them. Faith Hunter
does a
great job of showing us Nell's struggle between doing what
is right
versus what is expedient for various situations.
Oh and, Occam! Occam is perhaps my favorite male
shapeshifter of any
book series I've ever read! He's protective and caring of
Nell and her
feelings without smothering her. I'm normally not a fan of a
lot of
romance in my urban fantasy series but watching him court
her is
heart-warming.
CIRCLE OF THE MOON is a top-
notch urban fantasy series! For readers like me who are
still mourning
the loss of the Ilona Andrews' Kate
Daniels series, the Soulwood series helps soothe that grief as Faith
Hunter
has one heck of good story on her hands with CIRCLE OF THE MOON. Nell Ingram is an innovative
heroine as she's part PsyLED newbie, part hillbilly, and
part tree- and
it's the creativity surrounding the tree aspect that hits
this one out of
the park. If you love urban fantasy and want a book with
spectacular
world-building, complex and multidimensional characters, and an
intriguing storyline, then CIRCLE OF
THE MOON is exactly what you are looking for!
Set in the same world as Faith Hunter's New York
Times bestselling Jane Yellowrock novels, the fourth
Soulwood novel stars Nell Ingram, who channels her power
from the earth.
Nell can draw magic from the land around her, and lately
she's been using it to help the Psy-Law Enforcement
Division, which solves paranormal crimes. Joining the team
at PsyLED has allowed her to learn more about her powers and
the world she always shunned--and to find true friends.
Head agent Rick LaFleur shifts into a panther when the moon
calls him, but this time, something has gone wrong. Rick
calls Nell from a riverbank--he's naked, with no memory of
how he came to be there, and there's a dead black cat,
sacrificed in a witch circle and killed by black magic,
lying next to him.
Then more animals turn up dead, and team rushes to
investigate. A blood-witch is out to kill. But when it seems
as if their leader is involved in the crime, the bonds that
hold the team together could shatter at any moment.
