Decadent Moon: The Complete Series
Decadent Moon: The Complete Series - Shona Husk

Lunar Exposure
Brax is a bounty hunter on the tail of an eco-terrorist. Haliday is a socialite with a secret- she is also a former slave turned bounty hunter. Her socialite career is a cover. There different types of aliens, but not a lot of depth is gone into the differences. Would have liked more info and world building. It was interesting and I liked the characters. The bad guy was caught. 3*
Lunar Reunion
Silva and Filid were both in the military and friends, but wanting to be more. Possibly. But fraternization were forbidden. Silva quit and became a commercial pilot (space ships) while Filid remained. Several years later, they reconnect and the spark is still there. Filid has tentacles on his head. Noted a lot of typos in this one. 3*
Lunar Dancer
Ima has worked as a courier for 2 years hoping to save enough to get her daughter back. Her daughter is in a home for illegal children (illegal being born to unwed mothers. It will shock you to learn that only the women are punished). Jorin is a dancer, but is a prince. As the 2nd born son, Jorin is set to be murdered by his brother, the new king. A new king shows his strength by murdering his family (who might try for the thrown). Both Ima and Jorin come up with a plan to get her daughter back and save his life. This was the favorite of the 3.
It would have been since to have more world building. The snapshots of the different aliens/cultures was interesting.

Singer of Death - Shona Husk Singer of Death - Shona Husk
My biggest gripe with this series is that the early ones were mmp but after book...3 I think, they’ve all been self published. That brings up its own issues (beyond my dislike of half my books being different format) in that the editing is uneven. Many self published books need another proof read or two. This one is no exception.

Enough of that.

The downside of there being two worlds is that many fae were a bit...irresponsible about leaving behind evidence. Our H is apparently the result of some male fairy knocking up his mom, and whether she knew or not (is possible she was glamoured and thought it was her husband) is never addressed. He phones home once and knows mom and dad survived the plague. He left at the age of 16 because he didn’t want to go through an exorcism. He’s been in trouble ever since. His magic is growing things so naturally he grew weed in his room as a kid.

The h was fortunate - her mother was the fairy, and loved her father. She left because the fae queen ordered her to (readers will note the previous queen was a bit(?) psychotic), but got a friend (I assume she was a friend) to look after her daughter. So the h is well aware of her fairy nature. She had an abusive boyfriend who scarred her with acid. She’s also a siren.

The two of them meet while she’s..”encouraging” people to tip generously. Eventually, their antics draw the attention of the police, a reporter, etc., and the Darkling Lord intervenes. Ironically, if they hadn’t gotten bold and tried to move up to actually robbing people, they might have continued for a long time (or until she sang someone to death in the wrong season)

Taming the Assassin - Shona Husk

>Pained look< I’m about to do what drives syncop....uh...super fans nuts - dock a book for editing issues. I don’t normally do that unless it’s really bad. I usually just grumble a bit but come on; two chapters were swapped and nobody caught that???? It was the last two chapters at that, so you get the ending spoiled before reading how.

As for the meat of the story (heh), the H is a kelpie. His h was introduced the book before, and had her mind wiped. The H was bothered by that, and by the realization that the Darkling Lord couldn’t give him his bridle, so he went to errr...kill two birds with one stone - look for the bridle and check on her. She’s...stubborn. She’s figured out what was done to her, and is continuing her research while fighting the mental tripwire left by Bronwen. They do figure out a loophole and free him - from the Darkling Lord. He’s not free though, but totally accepts his new mistress.

Eh, it’s a good story aside from editing issues and making me hate several previous MCs.

4 Stolen Stars
Stolen - Shona Husk

 

Cosima and her brother, Anthony have been trading magical objects until their latest treasure kills Anthony and has Cosima reaching out to the one person she knows can help. Sawyer Jones can strip the magic from objects and sue it himself for a time and he never expected to see Cosima Delaney again since the last time they spoke she broke his nose and stole the sword he’d been casing. Making Cosima pay for denting his pride and taking his hard-won prize… that just might be worth the trouble this case will bring.

 

This ‘Coven of the Raven’ romance is full of chemistry and sparks, suspense and excitement, stunning twists and unique magical elements that spices things up. The attraction and chemistry between Cosima and Sawyer is undeniable but this relationship has issues that stems from their pasts and some secrets that will have to be revealed which causes quite a bit of emotional turmoil to flow the pages ensuring that readers become completely caught up in their story.

 

During this fast paced story, bad guys cause quite a bit of suspense and excitement that really gets the blood pumping and the coven’s goddess adds her own brand of spectacularly surprising twists that adds even more intrigue and excitement to the story. The conclusion of this story ends in a remarkable and surprising fashion that is pleasantly satisfying and readers nor the bad guys could possibly see it coming.

4 Star Cursed
Cursed - Shona Husk

 

He knows exactly when and how he will die, but Oskar Quigley thinks he knows how to defeat his great uncle, the witch gone bad who caused the death curse, there just one problem he never accounted for… another victim. She has been his servant for as long as she can remember and Mylla’s memories can be trusted but she needs to warn Oskar that of the bad things that happen only she can’t talk to him.

 

The first book in the ‘Coven of the Raven’ series is a stunning, original story that is full of thrills that readers can become lost to. The characters are strong and compelling, easily drawing readers in and keeping them engaged with their memorable story. The chemistry between sizzles with electricity but this relationship is in no way guaranteed as two major obstacles stand in their way – a death curse and an evil witch, which keeps the emotions turbulent and the relationship a difficult path of overcoming every rock placed in its way.

 

The plot is fast paced and full of edge of your seat suspense as the decisions facing Oskar are choices that could free him and Mylla or they could spell doom for both of them. The conflict is further complicated by the evil spells that Thomas has in place, his evil deeds that prolong his life and the riddles of the goddess that doesn’t exactly inspire Oskar’s confidence. Readers can’t help but enjoy this thrilling original story as it weaves its own spell – one that keeps them turning the pages.
