Every time I write a review for one of Laurann Dohner's 'New Species' series, I get someone commenting that I should read Lora Leigh's 'Breed' series, instead. FYI, I've read a lot of the 'Breeds' books, and, just because both series are about genetically altered humans, doesn't mean they always have to be compared. I assure you, I can read and appreciate both series. That being said....
I love, love, love the 'New Species' books. They're fun and sexy, and the New Species guys are hot. They each have unique personalities, including flaws and quirks, and they know how to treat their women, especially if you like your fantasy man to be a little bit of a caveman. They're loyal, trustworthy and romantic, for the most part, and each of the books gives you a little more insight into what they've been through.
The books can be read out of order but I'm a stickler for reading a series in order. I think it just gives the reader that much more enjoyment when you know exactly what's going on and why. The stories are not a continuation, though the author does mention past characters in each book. She also mentions future characters, which gives you some sneak peeks at what's to come.
Speaking of which, 'Moon' was definitely a highly-anticipated book in the series. He's been one of the often-mentioned characters in the previous books and, if I do say so myself, one of the most loved. He's a fun-loving, personable character, and is admired and loved by everyone in the New Species world, as well. Moon had been shot with a drug-filled dart in an earlier book, and has 'gone feral'. No one knows what the drug is, therefore, no one can figure out how to bring the real Moon back. When the story begins, it has been decided to call in the psychologist that counseled Moon when he was first released from Mercile, the company that altered his DNA. There's hope that she can reach him, as they had a close connection, and he's talked about how he felt about her to other New Species.
I don't like writing spoilers in my reviews, if I can help it, so let's just say that things don't always work out the way you plan but the journey can definitely be worth it. LOL!!
I enjoyed this addition to the series and am greatly looking forward to more of the New Species' stories. Fortunately, Ms. Dohner could easily go on for years with the series. There are so many interesting and beloved characters left to write about and, to be honest, if she were to stop writing, I'm thinking she'd have a New Species fan uprising on her hands. That's how good these books are.
