A spell shattered, a heart torn, and an ancient key that could change the very fabric of life and death.
Ruby, along with the two men fighting for her heart and the friend who betrayed her, have successfully ventured to the fae realm and retrieved the Key of Hades—the ancient artifact that can resurrect the dead.
Now she has to make a deliver the key to a coven of dark witches, or go back on her oath with them and have the human world—including her parents—forget about her existence forever.
If she turns on the witches, she has no one. Sure, her fated mate Connor claims he wants to help her. But how can she trust him after he rejected her and kicked her out of the pack? Then there’s Tristan, the vampire who’s been by her side since she hit rock bottom. She thought she was falling in love with him, but all of that changes when she learns the depth of his deception.
In this high-stakes game, Ruby can only trust one person—herself. Which would be a lot easer if she could gain control of her wolf and master her volatile magic.
Luckily, there might be someone who can help her.
The moon goddess who star touched her—who it turns out is entangled in Ruby’s fate far more than she ever suspected.

Intriguing.
It is no secret that I am a big Michelle Madow fan. I've been reading her books since I discovered them in 2012. She has a talent of capturing readers from the beginning and leaving you wanting the next book in the series. It's been a few months since I've read Cursed Moon , and I'm wondering what happens next for Ruby and her friends. I was mostly curious to see what would happen with her and Tristan, following that revelation about him in the last book, and whether she would forgive him. A part of me hoped she'd see past it. I know it doesn't look good for Tristan, but I know he adores her. Despite everything that had occurred, he was there for her.
I worried about Ruby and wondered if she'd be able to carry out the plan. I understand why she pretended with Tristan to achieve her goal, but I didn't like her plan. I didn't believe it was fair to Tristan; he seemed to genuinely care about Ruby, based on their interaction. I like this book, but not in the same manner that I liked the other novels in the series. I liked Connor and could see he cared for Ruby, but I didn't feel the same connection between the two of them as I did with Tristan and Ruby. At least that was the sense I had.
I'm wondering about the rest of the characters and wonder if they'll appear in the Black Sun. Morgan was my favorite witch, and I hope she appears in the future books. I also felt that there were some rushed sections in the book, such as the ending, and the trials were a little confused for me. Despite having read the first three books, I felt like there were significant gaps in the story. I loved reading this book, and there were a few times where I struggled to put it down. I was curious to know how Ruby's story would finish; nevertheless, it was not what I expected.
I’m excited to check out Amber and Damien’s story in Black Sun next. If you love fantasy, I would highly recommend checking this series out.
