Nightwolves Coalition is my second taste of Clarrissa Lee Moon (the first being Celeste Nites), and it has definitely prompted me to clear a little space on the virtual book shelf for more.

Once again, Clarrissa presents us with a strong female lead who manages to be sexy without losing any of the respect she demands as a kick-ass heroine. Hell, this woman has not 1, not 2, but 3 mates, and she comes across as not only worthy of all three, but entirely capable of keeping her men in line.

Smartly keeping this from being just another urban fantasy/paranormal romance, Clarrissa introduces a high-tech thriller element, with Catrina getting involved with the military elite – only after, of course, they discover her vampiric nature during a botched hijacking attempt. I say vampiric, because she’s something new to the genre, a woman granted supernatural powers as a reward for her past services, and who remains unencumbered by the usual weaknesses of the vampire.

This definitely a story that puts action above romance, danger above eroticism, and it works very well. The pacing does lag a bit in places (usually when it gets deep into explanations), but not so much that it draws you out of the narrative. The depth of imagination displayed in the world-building and mythology is wonderful, and I suspect she’s only scratched the surface in this volume.

I’m definitely looking forward to more, discovering what happens next, and discovering more about the battles that condemned Catrina to the astral plane for so long. Well worth a read!

I am a little torn with this book. I was really loving it. I was really into this story, I mean it had magic, vampires, gods and goddesses, demi-gods, covens, werewolves, demons, jinn and special forces all rolled up into a really great attention getting story ... but then it gets preachy and anti Christianity ... I read to enjoy the fantasy world the author created ... not to have their religious beliefs thrown out there. If it was a few passing comments, I would of just blown it off but it got pretty "soap boxy" before it got back to the story which just threw the whole story off for me. So here's my rating, would of been a solid 4 1/2 stars for me but the "preachiness" killed the flow so I'm going with 3 1/2 stars.… (plus d'informations)

This was a nice little trilogy with more to come.

In Claiming Celeste, we get introduced to Celeste a vampire who happens to be trying to get an old boyfriend to come out into the open so that she can dispose of him. So she has a pattern and goes into a night club night after night trying to get him jealous. But the only one she succeeds in making jealous is Jacques, who becomes enthralled with the way she moves on the dance floor. He makes plans to seduce her. But the tables turn and instead of using her, he becomes the one seduced by all of her. And with that seduction he falls hard and becomes protective, overbearing.

In Hunting Celeste, Jacques and his brother Armand have to track her to Jersey because she has taken off in her quest to rid herself of her stalker ex. Here they track her to a hole in the wall dump of a bar and both end up seducing her in a limo. And the things those sexy brothers do leave you panting for some yourself. But, the temptation of having both isn’t enough to keep her safe. She is loving th4e time with both but is still isn’t enough to change her mind and off she goes again.

Finally in Sharing Celeste, Jacques who tends to be overbearing decides to let Armand talk some sense into Celeste. Armand ends up getting her all hot and bothered and maybe even a reader or two, as he proves to be a smooth operator.

This short little trilogy was steamy and left you wanting to read the next installment to find out if these two hot brothers can sway Celeste to their way of thinking out of bed, because they have her in bed. Maybe they should think about keeping her there. But to do that she must let them in on her secret, she’s a vampire.
