Otherworldly
Creatures. Shocking Truths. Sizzling Passions.
Shiloh
Trudell thought she was getting used to the strange events in Fallen
Oaks, until the full moon brings another surge of supernatural
threats to her coastal town. Ferocious wolves, deadly necromancers,
and fallen angels have descended upon the neighborhood, so Shiloh
needs to gain control of her magical abilities—and her impetuous
heart—fast!
As if life wasn’t complicated enough, enter sexy, brooding Trent Donovan—local bad boy, and the type of guy your mother warned you about.
While Trent tries to help Shiloh prepare for a supernatural battle, their fiery spark intensifies into a slow burn. Romance with an unlimited potential allows them to experience both the thrill of love and the chill of fear for the object of their affection.
Then Shiloh discovers a dark family secret that threatens to shatter her world. The only thing that keeps her going is her thirst for revenge and the protective, rebellious boy she’s falling head over heels for.
When her classmates are attacked by a mysterious creature and her father is murdered, Shiloh vows vengeance. Except that’s not all Shiloh has to worry about. She’s also struggling not to become the very thing she fights: evil.
But with demon blood inside her—anything can happen…

My
Thoughts:
The
Cover: The cover for Moonlight Mayhem is beautiful. Our
lovely cover model, I am thinking that is Shiloh, our snarky, sharp
protagonist, before the moon, with scratches across her shoulder.
Indicating that she has been scratched by someone or something. Can
she even be affected by a werewolf or lycan bite? Hmm, I don't know,
but I still love the shadowing, or rather foreshadowing? Very dark
and mysterious.
The
Plot: As always, Sherry keeps us on our toes with a quick
moving plot line, lots of action and mystery, and of course, another
cliffhanger ending. I really enjoyed the story line to Moonlight
Mayhem, but adding the lycan was an instant winner in my book. As
Shiloh continues to solve the mystery of her ancestry and develop her
powers, bombs drop a mile a minute. I finished this book in less than
48 hours, because I could not get enough of our sharp tongued
protagonist or solve the mystery fast enough. I really liked that not
everything is wrapped up in a neat package in each of the books in
this series and not all of the questions are answered.
The
Characters: Shiloh rocks. I can't say enough how much I like
our heroine. She is flawed, yet brave, beautiful, yet humble, all
while having fantastic fashion sense! Where can I get me some of her
signature Doc Martens? Now if only her and Trent could figure things
out! Although, I guess I would have some trouble trusting him too, if
I was Shiloh. I can also say I would have a seriously hard time
saying no against that sexy bad boy. Again, Ariana is one kick ass
best friend; I have loved her since book one. I just hope that Daniel
is one of the good guys, because you never know who you can trust for
sure. But I think him and Ariana will be awesome and she really needs
some good. Moonlight Mayhem introduces several other interesting
characters, as will. Carter is kinda terrifying in his own way. Any
time he turns up, I shake in my boots, or rather my slipper
socks..... The coach and his wife creep me out as well, just can't
get a read on them, but they are somehow mixed up with the football
team being attacked, falling into mysterious three day comas and then
waking up healed and super, well, everything!
Is
It Worth Reading? Yes, definitely, I will be reading the
whole series again for sure, sometime in the future!! Moonlight
Mayhem adds to the mystery, romance and sheer terror of the
Spellbound series! It fulfills that need to read something that keeps
you wondering from page one, through the entire series. Fantastic
characters, steamy romance and dangerous baddies makes the Spellbound
series one of my favorites. I highly recommend Moonlight Mayhem to
readers of YA Fantasy and Paranormal and look forward to Reckless
Revenge. Moonlight Mayhem gets 5 out of 5 crossbows.
