Cursed Moon(Star Touched: Wolf Born, #3)

 

 
 4.5


Ruby Grace has had enough. 

 
She’s been rejected by her fated mate. Forced to blood bond with a vampire. And erased from existence by dark witches. 


She’s not going to take it anymore. 


She’s sick of all the powerful supernaturals using her for their advantage.
When all this began, she thought being gifted with unique magic from the gods would make all her dreams come true. But being star touched has been nothing but a nightmare. 


Now, just as she’s making a plan to turn her life around, the dark witches of the Blood Coven come to her with a deal. 


They want the Key of Hades—an ancient artifact that can resurrect the dead. If Ruby helps them retrieve it, they’ll reverse the spell that made the entire world forget her existence. 


However, finding the key won’t be easy. Ruby will have to sneak into the fae realm to complete trials that will test her physical strength, mental endurance, and push her far beyond her breaking point. 


The one piece of good news? She won’t going alone. Tristan, Hazel, and Benjamin will be joining her. But she has to admit: she’d feel a whole lot better if her fated mate, Connor, was along for the mission. They have unfinished business, and this quest might be their only chance to mend their mate bond before it’s too late. 


And thanks to a strange twist of fate, Ruby might just get her wish.
Connor, however, may not be her biggest problem. The fae realm soon proves to be far more dangerous than the witches let on—and filled with more surprises than Ruby ever imagined.

Spectacular. 


I've been reading Michelle Madow's books since I discovered her in 2012. I should not have been surprised, but Michelle Madow surprised me again. I read Cursed Moon on an 11-hour flight in one day. I couldn't get enough, and a twist kept me turning the pages just when I thought I'd put it down. I was captivated by every page and wondered when Connor would come to terms with the fact that he needed to be with Ruby; he seemed to be living in denial, and at least, that was how I felt about him. I couldn't help but wonder what would happen between Ruby and Connor if they finally get together. 


Autumn. I did not like her when she was initially introduced, and I still do not like her. I realize she was jealous of Ruby because she is Connor's mate, but that doesn't justify attempting to interfere with their connection. Part of me hoped Connor would discover what she had done and see Autumn for who she was. I knew that if Connor learned what she had done, it would certainly mean the end of their relationship. On the other hand, I admire Tristan and love how he cares about Ruby. I don't believe Ruby cares about him as much as Tristan cares about her, and I have a feeling he would do anything for her. I know that if Ruby ends up with Connor, Tristan will be heartbroken. I'm eager to see which of the two Ruby will end up with. 


There was so much happening in Cursed Moon , and one of the reasons that I kept on turning the pages. I was intrigued to see if they could obtain the Key of Hades and what challenges they might encounter in doing so. I loved Ruby; despite what was happening and what she was going through, she kept going, not keeping her from her goal. At the end of this novel, I was most intrigued by Ruby's reaction, and I couldn't help but worry how much it would impact things. I'm excited to see the end of Ruby and Connor's journey.
