Bayou Moon

Bayou Moon (2010) Ilona Andrews

Cerise Mar is the head of her family, now that her parents have disappeared. She wants more than anything to get her parents back, but more important is holding the family together, and dealing with their three-quarter century feud with the Sheeriles. She also has to hold things together for her damaged sister, who has abandoned her given name and now goes by Lark.

William, who we met in the first book, One the Edge, is a changeling, and had a horrifying childhood: abandoned by his mother and raised in an orphanage that was nothing more than a military training facility, he learned to function in the world, but women in the Weird have always disdained him.

I like William, and I want the best for him. He’s so damaged, but he’s also so protective of Jack in the first book, I can’t help but want good things for him.

We also meet Cerise’s cousin, Kaldar, who is a complete rogue, and thus my favorite guy in the whole series.
Rating: 7.5/10
