Moon Guardian

Crescent Five, Book 1

By: J.R. Thorn

Narrated by: Vanessa Moyen, Zachary Johnson, Robert Hatchet

I broke the pact, and now I’m stuck with five sexy mates.

Wolves aren’t supposed to mate humans. Humans also aren’t supposed to interrupt sacred mating ceremonies, but I had a good reason, all right? I needed magic, and I needed a lot of it to save my little sister from the Moon Shadow plague running rampant in human territory.

Do the wolves think twice about consequences? No. They’ve been careless of the side effects caused by their little territory battles. They have never cared about us.

But they’ll care now, because I have all of their magic in the palm of my hand.

Literally. The Goddess Crescent was supposed to be a myth, the power to turn a human and unite the major clans. I just didn’t expect it to bond me to an Alpha from each of the five packs, and now I’m afraid I bit off far more than I can chew.

• Five fated mates with no choosing required
• Slow-burn romance
• Rejected-mate/second-change tropes with severe groveling by book three
• Human female and wolf shifter males

This world is shaping up to be epic...

This was so good, that I literally re-played it a couple times before moving on. It’s a very quick read and while I did predict the outcome of this one, I feel like that was by design, and like there are twists to come as we get deeper into this series.

Though it’s a small book, there’s no shortage of things to love, and it’s very fast-paced. I recommend being ready with ‘Moon Cursed’ though, as you’ll likely very much want to keep reading.

Audio:
Truly perfect. Clear, professional sound quality and a dual-cast that makes it sound full-cast. Excellent.

Loved it!

I really enjoy shifter type stories so when I found this I was interested so I listened and it was amazing! Can’t wait to listen to the second book!

Original and Unique!

I love the story! I’ve read a bunch of rejected mate stories but this has a very different and unique twist! I can’t wait to see how it turns out. I enjoy this author and loving the Blood Stone universe she has created. The narrators are fun to listen to and keep the storyline pace and excitement flowing!

Great story - disappointed it’s only 2-3hrs

Love the author. Love the narrators. Love the story. Hate that it’s only 2-3hrs. Mad I spent that much money for such a short book.
