Strange and tragic things begin to happen in the small town of Hallowell, Maine: residents come down with an unexplainable ‘illness’ and some disappear. In the midst of everything, Isaac Mayfair is adamant about keeping Adria safe, even from her sister whom he has warned her to stay away from. As unspeakable secrets unfold all around Adria, impossible choices become hers to bear. Ultimately, no matter what path she takes, her life and the lives of those she loves will be in peril.

Review:

So I literally just finished The Mayfair Moon and to be honest it wasn’t what I was expecting at all.

After Adria and her older sister are traumatized and seriously injured during a run-in with some werewolves and the blame falls on their stepfather, they are sent to live with their Aunt and Uncle in Maine. While staying there she tries to deal with her sister’s withdrawn and rebellious behavior, makes some new friends and attracts the attention of two werewolf families who have been feuding since the dawn of time…

Yea, that pretty much sums up this book.

The Mayfair Moon was very…Twilighty. Maybe even a bit worse because at least Twilight was entertaining. Adria and Issac fall (or more like trip) into this insta-love fest and I was just bored to tears but managed to finish it because I didn’t want to DNF another book. Adria bothered the hell out of me, she worried too much about stepping on other people’s toes or being too critical. There was nothing interesting about her. Or Issac except for the fact he’s a wolf with a hot bod. Sorry, I did not enjoy this book. I felt it could’ve been much better.

I will not be continuing the Darkwoods series but am looking forward to reading Redmerski’s novel, The Edge of Never. Hopefully that book is more my cup of tea 🙂
