This is book#9 in the "Moon Series". If you love werewolf romances this one is a must read. ( )

This was a very cool book with a mix of genres. You had some paranormal, romance, and sci-fi all mixed into this book.
I thought it was unique...at least I've never read another book like it. This author really did a great job combining the mix of genres and making it work.
I loved the main characters, Talon and Kenna, boy...did these two have to go through some crud to reach their happy ending!
You know what I thought was really interesting with this one? The whole alternate universe thing...It was different and really added interest to the book.
This was the first book I've had the opportunity to read in the Moon Series by Rebecca York but I think I'll be looking up the rest of the series.
Overall, I was really happy with this one! ( )

Dragon Moon (The Moon Series, Book 9) by Rebecca York
Paranormal Romance- Oct. 6, 2009
4 ½ stars

This was an outstanding story from start to finish. I could not put it down. Rebecca York is breaking into her stride with the 9th book in her werewolf series. I feel this book can be read alone but would probably be richer and easier from having read her previous books since characters from her previous books reappear.

Kenna is from an alternate universe where magic is common place. Her future appears bright until she is taken to live as a slave by the ruthless and evil Vandar. Vandar is a shape shifting dragon who drinks blood to live. Vandar is ruthless and demands absolute obedience. Although he does not need human blood to survive he thrives on draining his human servants and keeping them in fear and servitude. His power is absolute but now he has discovered a portal to a new world that is lush with riches. And a place where magic is virtually unknown. This vunerable new world is called earth. Vandar has sent men to scout for the details he needs before he attacks and plans to increase his empire but the men have returned useless for his needs. As an alternate Vandar decides to send a beautiful woman and chooses his slave Kenna. Surely with her beauty she will have an easier time seducing men and infiltrating information from the alternate universe he plans to conquer. To ensure her compliance Vandar places strong and painful mind blocks on Kenna to prevent her from escaping and telling earthlings of his mission to conquer earth.

After training to learn about earth Kenna is thrust across the portal and immediately falls into danger when a tree falls on her during a storm. She is befriended by a wolf who mysteriously disappears. Desperate, Kenna tries to use her powers to lift the tree off her but fortunately a human man comes to her aid.

Kenna discovers the mysterious man’s name is Talon. The 2 find a mutual attraction but Talon feels Kenna is holding something back and although he hides a secret about himself (being a werewolf) he knows he can’t trust Kenna unless she reveals the strange ‘gaps’ in her memory. Kenna loves how kindly Talon treats her especially after her brutal life under Vandar’s rule. She tries to break through her conditioning but cannot tell Talon her mission as a spy.

But even as their relationship stand at an impasse the dangerous Vandar is growing impatient and trouble looms for the 2.

This was a fascinating story that flew by quickly. The villain was completely evil. The heroine courageous, beautiful and valiant. And the alpha hero understanding and protective. This story was quite complex and I was amazed by the Rebecca York’s facile storytelling skills. My favorite sections included the relationship between Talon and Kenna. They were clearly meant for each other. However, I found Kenna’s courage the most captivating section of the novel. When she is confronted by an alien world she uses what skills she has to survive and her conscience and courage carry the story. This was a fabulous addition to Rebecca York’s werewolf series and already one of my favorites. If you love werewolf romances this one is a must read. Rebecca York really heightened the stakes in her latest installment and I eagerly await details of her next book. I hope it will include the wounded dragon shifter Raymond!
