OMG - Fantastic book!!!
I am such a fan of the husband and wife writing team who make up Ilona Andrews. Their Kate Daniels series swept me into the paranormal world of Atlanta and has kept a steady pace. So when they started a new series beginning with "On the Edge" they were already on my autobuy list and they don't disappoint. My family is a tribe of readers and I am such a fan of the authors that I nagged both the male and female members of my extended family into reading the first books of both series. Then everyone who read Ilona Andrews has gone on to buy, borrow, or steal books from each other to continue reading the series. "Bayou Moon" has been eagerly anticipated by both genders of my family.
I believe that you need to have read the first book in the series "On the Edge" to pick up the full expression of "Bayou Moon" which takes the reader back to the world of the 'Edge'. It lies between the 'Broken' (regular US life with no magic (soccer moms and Walmart) and the 'Weird' (magic realm). The hefty 447 page book covers politics, romance, adventure, magic, and has some good fight scenes. It continues the story of William the Wolf, a fantastic secondary changeling character of "On the Edge". At the end of the first book, William doesn't get the girl or the family he wants. "Bayou Moon" is his opportunity.
The story line and pacing keeps the story moving quickly. The world building is solid and give a good foundation to go in a hundred directions in the future. The character development really give the reader the opportunity to get inside. Frankly, I fell in love with William in the last book so "Bayou Moon" was just a gift. I took the time to read it twice before giving it to the tribe to pass along. I don't know how I am going to wait another year before getting another book in the series.
If you have anyone in your family who likes urban fantasy books, give them the wonderful gift of introducing them to the talented authors who make up Ilona Andrews. "Bayou Moon" is a really solid book and a wonderful addition to a stellar series.
