Tracy’s review of Changeling Moon
He roams the moonlit wilderness, his every sense and instinct on high alert. Changeling wolf Connor Macleod and his Pack have never feared anything—until the night human Zoey Tyler barely escapes a rogue werewolf’s vicious attack.
As the full moon approaches, Zoey has no idea of the changes that are coming, and only Connor can show her what she is, and help her master the wildness inside. With her initiation into the Pack just days away and a terrifying predator on the loose, the tentative bonds of trust and tenderness are their only weapons against a force red in tooth, claw. . .and ultimate evil.
Zoey is the new newspaper editor in town. After covering a meeting she heads out to her truck during a sleet storm. Unfortunately for her the locks on her truck are frozen shut and her cell phone is inside the car. Things take a decided turn for the worse when Zoey is attacked by a huge silver wolf. She manages to hold her own and even hurt the wolf a bit but she still gets bitten.
Connor is a vet and is on his way home when his Changeling “farsight” aka precognition kicks in and he sees the whole scene with the crazed wolf and Zoey. He heads to her rescue and runs off the wolf. Since Connor knows that being bitten by a Changeling will result into turning into one he’s anxious to prevent the effects of the bite by administering silver nitrate. Unfortunately it doesn’t work due to a couple of extenuating circumstances.
While Connor tries to take care of Zoey he gets closer to her – he’s very attracted to her, yes, but his inner wolf is saying, “MINE!” A few times the wolf almost makes it to the surface but Connor manages to avoid revealing his animal nature until he chooses to tell Zoey all the details. Zoey herself feels a strong attraction to Connor but it’s not just sexual as they become friends and realize that they have a great time being together and just talking.
Changeling Moon showed a world where “werewolves” can be both born and made and that there were a few other magical beings out in the world that Connor and his pack didn’t know about.
I liked Zoey and Connor a lot – both together and separately. I think they fit each other quite well and was happy to see that it didn’t take the entire book to get the two together. Yes, there was the issue of Connor’s wolf that needed to be revealed but for the most part it was a pretty smooth romance. Of course there was the problem with the evil wolf that wouldn’t give up on his chance to order Zoey around and gave Connor an opportunity to save his woman. I didn’t care for that part all that much but it was I guess there had to be some angst in there. 🙂
The book was cute and had some good parts to it. I liked it enough to start the next book in the series, Changeling Dream, and so far it’s proving to be quite good.
