I am not usually a fan of secret baby stories, and while Celtic Moon isn’t necessarily that, it’s a close second. It would be easy to dislike a heroine that left her baby’s father and deprived him of his child, but in this case, I admired Sophie for doing that. Fear of the unknown could have ruled her, and she could have stayed simply because she knew nothing of his world. Instead of cowering to his threats, she went on the run to remove her son from what she perceived to be a bad situation. She devoted her life to learning how to better keep him safe and teaching him to fend for himself if it came to that. She was very strong and determined, and I liked her. I had a bit of a harder time with Dylan. I have to remind myself when reading shifter books that wolves, but nature, are very dominant. I try not to judge them by human standards, but Dylan may have been just a bit too heavy handed for me, especially in the way he revealed his shifter side to Sophie and essentially demanded she accept it. He did, however, learn the error of his ways, and it was hard not to feel his pain, because it was clear that how much he cared for Sophie and his son. The romance between him and Sophie was a bit glossed over. It was like a switch – one moment she couldn’t trust him and was determined she wasn’t his wife, and then the next she was all in. I would have liked there to be a bit more build up to their reunion.

A little more world building could have enhanced this story and given the reader a clearer picture of Dylan’s world, geographically and pertaining to his pack. But I am hopeful that the author is pacing us, and more will be revealed as the series progresses. While what we’ve learned so far was interesting, it just whetted my appetite for more. The highlight of this book was Dylan’s brother and sister, Luc and Elen, as well as their pack mate Cormack. We’ve been given little morels on each of them, and I’m excited to dive into their histories. The action scenes in this book were also very well done, and it was easy to picture what was happening.

While Celtic Moon had its shaky moments, it was an intriguing start to the Celtic Wolves series. I can’t wait to read the next book!

Celtic Moon A Celtic Wolves Novel Jan DeLima 9780425266205 Books Reviews

I am driven to read and when I connect emotionally to characters in books I am thrilled. In Celtic Moon, a paranormal shifter book, I was invested in the characters emotionally. If you like the camaraderie that writer Nalini Singh has between her characters in both her urban fantasy series Psy/Changelings and Guild Hunters, then Jan DiLima’s Celtic Wolves series is a series to add to your to be read list. If you are like me I am always hunting up paranormal or urban fantasy series that really spark my interest that are well written and have good character development. They must also must have a long game type story arc, that ties the series together. There are a select few authors that are one click pre-order authors and I have now added DiLima to this list.

The story in Celtic Moon, is not your typical shifter romance as the story takes place fifteen years and lots of heartbreak, after the two main romance characters Dylan and Sophie had met. This isn’t your typical girl falls in love with a guy who can turn into a wolf. This is a real life paranormal book, girl falls in love with a very secretive man, gets knocked up, he gets even more secretive and possessive, and she feel isolated. He reveals his secret as the big bad wolf in an ‘I’m the alpha here me howl’ fashion, with disastrous effects. The sane human girl freaks and runs away with her baby in her tummy, because ‘Dude just turned into a wolf the size of a pony’, I would have run too! I was thrilled that a heroine in a paranormal book had a real reaction, run for the hills, and that stuff is freaky. So that is the premise of the book. The book picks up fifteen years later with the return of heroine Sophie with teenager in tow. Sophie’s reason for returning, is that she fears her teenage son is starting to turn furry.

I understood and connected with Sophie on a visceral level, she is the mama bear willing to do anything for her cub. She is strong and a no bulls*** woman, she isn’t the naive college student who met Dylan shifter leader. One of the delights is that she acted like any sane woman would with her get out of ‘Dodge’ attitude.

Dylan meets his teenage kids and has Sophie back in his life, but she is not the meek innocent girl he met all those years ago. This woman has grown fangs and her nails are painted jungle red, as she has become a tough bad ass to protect her son. Dylan is a idiot, a likable hero, but still an idiot, he obviously knew nothing of modern woman when he met Sophie. He was using the ‘what not to do with your non paranormal mate’, guidebook in his interaction with Sophie sixteen years prior. There wasn’t just one misunderstanding among this couple but tons of misunderstandings and times he did not listen to his mate. His people who he sacrificed all for did not have his back. I am not that thrilled with the people Dylan has pledged his life to, they kinda seem like users.

There were a few characters that despite a great set up, disappeared too early from the story for my liking, namely Sián. I think her character could have become a fulcrum. What, just pack and leave, no show down. I understand her leaving was done to open up the story arc to the outsiders of this one shifter community, to give the readers a bigger urban fantasy world to explore, but an opportunity was missed in this characters departure without conflict.

In all this was one well written book that absorbed my attention.
Sophie Thibodeau has been on the run from the father of her son for more than fifteen years. Now her son, Joshua, is changing and her greatest fears are about to be realized. He's going to be just like his father--a werewolf.

Dylan Black has been hunting for Sophie since she ran from him. Dylan controls Rhuddin Village, an isolated town in Maine, and he can't afford the obsession he has for her. He's one of the few who can still shift.

Sophie and Dylan come together for their son, their reunion reignites the fierce passion they once had. For the first time in years, Dylan's lost family is in his grasp. But will he lose them all over again? He must protect his people from the Guardians, vicious warriors who seek to destroy them.
Are his wife and son strong enough to fight with him? Because the fate of his tribe depends on it. Great story. Can't wait to read the next one in the series.
