About this listen
Xavier Blackwood is the man every girl at my college dreams about at night, myself included, but I'd never let anyone know that.
Standing at 6'8" with steel grey eyes, he's a walking dream, but he's also a world-renowned a-hole.
Who would have thought that one night, after dragging myself home after doing double shifts at the diner, I'd be jumped by three men...only to have Xavier come to my rescue.
Oh yes, Xavier bloody Blackwood saved my life...but the thing I saw, the creature that ripped those men to shreds, wasn't the Xavier everyone knows.
He wasn't human.
He was a wolf, a demon, a creature from myths, and it was the most amazing sh*t I've ever seen until he attacked me, too, and knocked me out.
Humans who learn about the existence of werewolves have to die.
There are no exceptions.
The werewolf Xavier saved me, but now, I am condemned to death.
To make things worse, both Xavier and Axel claim I am their mate. This can't be good.

Ruby Saunders is a law major who has recently arrived in town on a scholarship. While working part time in a diner one day, she’s unnerved when she finds herself under the scrutiny of a pair of obsidian eyes and is surprised by the level of hostility aimed at her by the stranger who turns out to be Xavier Blackwood, the son of business mogul and millionaire, Mathieu Blackwood.
Later that evening she’s attacked by three men outside the diner but is luckily rescued by Xavier - although not before Ruby sees him transform into a wolf and tear the culprits apart.
An unconscious Ruby later comes to and finds herself a prisoner of the Alpha of the Blackmoon Pack, who happens to be none other than Xavier’s father, Mathieu. Attempts to alter her memory by an Enchanted named Natalie, fail due to a barrier in Ruby’s mind that she’s unable to penetrate. Natalie is also puzzled by the rare white aura surrounding Ruby which suggests she is possibly a supernatural herself.
Ruby discovers that not only are werewolves and other supernaturals real, but that any human who discovers their existence must be put to death. On learning Xavier’s reasons for saving Ruby - she’s his true mate - Mathieu decides to take a chance and trust Ruby. He’ll allow her to go to college and work at the diner under the condition that she stays with the Pack and keeps their existence a secret from the human world.
Matters take a complicated turn however when Axel Grimmwolf, the next alpha in line of a rival pack declares that Ruby is his mate too and when Ruby is later abducted, Xavier and his Pack desperately try to ascertain her whereabouts.
Meanwhile Natalie looks to Adolfa, (an old and powerful Enchanted) for answers relating to Ruby. Who and what is she and why has the goddess seen fit to have a human mated to two wolves?
Luna Rising is the first instalment of the Luna Rising series and was my first introduction to the author. From the offset I found myself completely immersed in the premise of the story about a woman who is rescued from 3 assailants intent on raping her, only to be rescued by a wolf shifter who turns out to be her mate. Complications arise when a alpha to be from a rival pack also claims to be her mate.
Told from three perspectives; Ruby, Xavier and Natalie’s, the book briefly introduces us to the characters and lays the foundation of her world building. Ruby is a snarky, appealing and relatable antagonist who readers will instantly identify with. Xavier and Natalie are equally likeable and it’s clear that the Blackmoon Pack are honourable and fiercely loyal to each other. In contrast however, their rival pack hate humans and while Xavier is like daylight, Axel is darkness personified.
The world building was fascinating. Humans, wolves and other supernaturals once coexisted side by side. Werewolves protected the humans until complications arose after a human girl fell in love with a wolf. War broke out which resulted in heavy casualties on both sides and wolves have since stayed hidden in order to stay alive ever since. Packs are ruled by an alpha and are overseen by the Council who keeps everyone in check. All packs have one Enchanted, some more powerful than others. Wolves can change at will but can’t transform during a full moon. Pregnant women give birth during this time. Pups born under a full moon are born in human form. A pup born outside of these three days can kill the mother as they are born as real pups.
All in all this was a well executed, fast paced debut in what looks to be a promising series. The cliffhanger has ensured that I’ll be looking out for the sequel, Luna Captured.
I received an advanced free audible copy of Luna Rising which was narrated by Meg Price. I was impressed with her clear, concise delivery which made it easy to differentiate between the characters.
Encouraging debut in the Luna Rising series
