There is always a great deal of pressure and expectation when it comes to the final installment in any series.  As a fan and avid reader, I know that if it's a series that I've come to love and call one of my favorites, I most definitely have always had high expectations for the last books and for the author to come through and really wrap things up with a bang!  For the authors, I can only imagine all the stress that goes into completing the final chapters of a series that they've developed and shaped into something that readers anxiously countdown and look foward to reading.

 

With all that pressure and stress that is laid on the shoulders of authors like Samantha Young, and so many others, she hit it out of the park in regards to this final installment in The Tale of Lunarmorte series.  I can honestly say there isn't any detail I'd change or scene I'd like re-written.  I enjoyed all the action and adventure she packed into yet another book, and the characters she had developed and layered into this series were yet again delightful to watch and cheer for as they made their way through each and every obstacle that was in their path.

 

As a fan of both Young's Adult and Young Adult work, I might have had high expectations for this last book in the series, but I never had any doubts that she would deliver, and deliver is exactly what she did!

This is a meme that I first heard about from Kristi over at The Story Siren and immediately wanted to jump on board. I'm always picking up new books, because I never tire of reading, but the other thing I like about this meme is that it gives everyone an opportunity to check out what other book fanatics, bloggers, etc... got for themselves. I've gotten great recommendations from this meme and hope that keeps up in the future.

Here's what I got, what did you guys get this week?

Moon Spell (The Tale of Lunarmorte, #1) by Samantha Young

 

Enter a world of fierce wolves, stunning magic and romance...

It’s bad enough feeling different among the human crowd, but feeling different among wolves?

No one said returning to her pack would be easy, especially after ten years without them, but seventeen year old Caia Ribeiro is unprepared for the realities of the transition. Raised in a world where kids aren’t scared by bedtime tales of the bogeyman but by the real life threat of enemy supernaturals who might come creeping into their community to kill them in their sleep, Caia is used to the darkness; she’s used to the mystery and the intrigue of the ancient underworld war she’s bound to by chance of birth. What she’s having trouble with are pack members treating her with wary suspicion, the Elders tucking secrets behind their backs out of her sightline, and her young Alpha, Lucien, distracting her, with a dangerous attraction, from her decision to uncover the truth.

But as the saying goes ‘the truth will out’ and when it does, Caia will only have so long to prepare herself before the war comes pounding on their door threatening to destroy the safe, secret lives of the wolves… and the girl they protect.

River Cast (The Tale of Lunarmorte, #2) by Samantha Young

Swept into the world of the Daylight Coven, Caia is caught between her loyalty to the Daylights and her new insight into the hearts of the Midnights. As more obstacles are thrown in her and Lucien's way, Caia is pushed further adrift from him and Pack Errante. With no one to turn to, Caia has to make the most difficult choice of all...

Who does she truly belong with? The Daylights or the Midnights?
