Bayou Moon<\/a><\/em> (2010) Ilona Andrews<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Yes, yes, I know. Two floating head books in a row. But not only was I on vacation, but this is an Ilona Andrews book, and I love those.<\/p>\n

The first book in The Edge series had Rose attempting to survive on the Edge and raise her two younger brothers, and Declan barging in and–in the end–helping her save herself. Instead of continuing with Rose’s story, the main characters in Bayou Moon<\/em> are William (who appeared in the first book) and Cerise, a resident of the Mire and soon to be the defacto head of the Mar clan, which comes with some nasty clan rivalries that are ready to boil into an open war.<\/p>\n

I actually liked Bayou Moon<\/em> very much, despite the fact I thought it had a couple of flaws. First, William’s character sometimes felt inconsistent. His child-like side disappears quite quickly, and his inability to relate to Cerise and her family on a person-to-person basis seemed inconsistent with his training, especially the spying. <\/p>\n

Cerise was a wonderful and strong lead and although you knew she was going to fall in love with William (this is a floating head book) you know she’s going to do it on her own terms. <\/p>\n

But, it was still a fun read and a perfect distraction.
\nRating: 7\/10<\/strong><\/p>\n
