Luna Rising

The Shadow Legacies, Book 1

By: Sloane Murphy

Narrated by: Meg Price

I want nothing more than to escape my destiny.

Being alpha-born means walking a path that's already been laid out for me, with a mate I don't get to choose.

On a Lycan's 21st birthday, we are fated to find our true mate. Only, I don't want one. I'm not ready yet.

I want to travel and see the world, but I can't do that, either.

When our world comes under attack from a foe we thought long vanquished, everything I thought I knew gets flipped upside down.

With nowhere to turn after my mate rejects me, feeling suffocated by my own skin, I leave my pack to try and find myself...but get found instead.

While this book is part of The Seven Realms saga and does contain some tiny spoilers to the Shadow Walkers Saga, it can be listened to without having to have heard any of the other books in the Seven Realms world.

Wow not what I expected!!!!

I had this on my wish list but every time I started it I put it down and never came back to it. This time I tried getting through a few chapters when boom I was hooked.

I do think the main characters is too much in her own head a bit of a winner, but I liked the action and drama. I do hope it gets better and in the next book maybe find some peace of mind with the whole matting problem.

I really like the fact the its not just wolf or Lycans but angels, diamond and more. I think the author can bring them more into the mix making the next book even more interesting.

This book is about a wolf rejecting its mate and the pain that mate goes through by trying to stay away. There is some fun stuff like the hot best friend and the cool girlfriend and a world where enemies are looking for revenge on her father's past acts against other wolfs. Wow I pretty much summed it all up!!! No am joking it’s pretty good not my top 10 but I just started my 2023 reading log so I don’t have a book that tops this one just yet. 😉

I really need book 2 ASAP!

wow! loved this book but I really wish I knew there were previous books in the overall story!
This is a fated mate/rejected mate/pnr about Luna and her coming of age at 21 and taking her place as alpha born wolf.
Her 2 bffs are instrumental to the storyline and characters from previous books are mentioned throughout. you can easily follow along without having read those books but I'm drawn to them and wanting to know more!

This is my first time listening to Meg Price and she did a fantastic job narrating each character and giving them a voice.

My only issue with this book is that I want book 2 right away!! I have no patience for cliffhangers but Sloane is a talented world builder so I didn't mind the slow pace.

Rejected Mate Shifter Romance

Luna Rising by Sloane Murphy is a rejected mate shifter romance that I listened to on audio narrated by Meg Price. This is the first book in The Shadow Legacies series.

This is the first book of Sloane's that I have read and it definitely won't be my last. I was pulled in from the first chapter and couldn't wait to see what was going to happen next. The book ends on a great cliffhanger that left me begging for more. I can't wait for the next book in the series Alpha Bound to be released on audio so I can get more of Luna's story.

Meg did an amazing job on the narration. She really knows how to bring a story to life. I look forward to listening to more of her work in the future.

I would recommend this book if you like paranormal romances, shifter romances, rejected mates, or supernatural suspense.

Can’t wait for next book. Only issue is with the F bomb dropped every other word.
