Briar Lennox is different…living amongst shapeshifters she has had to prove herself worthy time and time again. She is not able to shift like the rest of her pack because she is something entirely different which makes her stronger and faster than all of them. But they must not find out what she truly is, a demon. 

Fighting her way to the top ranks of her pack, Briar must now attend the prestigious Iolite Academy to claim her rightful spot as an elite in the Hidden Realms. However, when she arrives Briar is only met with animosity and hatred especially from the one person who should have her back, Grayson. 

Grayson, the boy that she loved so long ago is now demanding that she denounce her rightful claim as Luna. This is the ultimate betrayal that she will not take lying down. She must form an unlikely alliance with the feisty Kenna in order to prove that she is the Luna of their pack or die trying.

Overall rating 5/5

Strap in and get ready for an extraordinary roller coaster of a ride. This gave me a mature Twilight or Divergent vibe….but better. I found myself quickly enthralled in this page turner laughing and fighting along with these ingenious characters in just one setting. This book is filled with so many incredible characters from the misunderstood villain, good guy who will give you whiplash so many times you will hate him (ahem Tamlin style), and the quirky loveable sidekick. And that ending…….

Favorite quotes:

“Someone who sees their friend under attack and does nothing is the very worst kind of person. if the threat of defeat or failure stops you from taking action in service of the people you care about, you’re nothing but a coward.”

-Briar

“On a scale of dry bread to custard tart, how tempted are you to punch him?” -Kenna

“Strawberry pie” -Briar

“For I look into your eyes and see all you are, my ember.”
