Insolita Luna: Book One

Zack met his best friend, Noah, at Harper Lake when they were five years old. Summer after summer, his feelings grew, but he assumed Noah didn’t feel the same. But one night when they were seventeen, Zack kissed Noah… and Noah kissed him back. Zack was sure he did. But the next morning, Noah put an end to their friendship and walked away, leaving Zack with a broken heart.

A year has passed, and Zack goes back to the lake—where every leaf, rock, and turn in the road remind him of the biggest mistake he ever made. He hates thinking about what he lost, and more than anything he wants his best friend back. He figures it’ll be the longest summer ever. But then Noah shows up out of the blue, apologetic and more gorgeous than ever. Noah is sweet and attentive, and Zack can almost believe nothing had ever gone wrong. But there’s something different about his old friend, something not quite right. Zack doesn’t want to ruin the fragile new bond between them, but he has to know… What secret is Noah hiding?


Belens Audio Book Review

Zack’s family drags him back to the lake house for one final summer before he starts university even though it’s the last thing he wants and certainly the last place he wants to be. The lake house is where he’s had his happiest times and memories with his best friend Noah and it’s where, last year, Noah shattered his heart after a fabulous kiss.

But when Zack returns this time it’s different because Noah is there waiting for him, ready to pursue their relationship, and has some serious secrets to come clean about. There’s vampires, werewolves, witches, hunters…I don’t want to write anything else because it would give too much away.

The story itself is predictable and a bit juvenile, but it’s got some sweet and romantic moments. It’s all about the whole “true love never dies and conquers all” kind of romance. The sugary sweetness is mitigated by (and I was pleasantly surprised about this) quite a few sex scenes, though O’Shea never goes over the top with the action.

Michael Stellman delivers a solid performance without doing anything to really make or break the story.

Stefan it's okay

Bottom line: A bit juvenile, but enjoyable.
