Socialite, Devon Danforth’s sham of a marriage to Trevor is
finally over. Devon and her wolf/husky hybrid, Long Snows Moon, take a road trip
up to the family cabin. When Long Snows Moon is thrown from Devon’s car window
into the forest, Devon has to go searching for her in the haunted woods.
Devon in her drunken state meets Jameson Jordan, a native
American girl she’d met as a teenager. Devon finds her true identity through her
sexual awakening. She also discovers her animal nature and her family
ancestry.
I wasn’t quite sure what to expect when I read the synopsis of
this book. But, this story is without a doubt one of the best I’ve read in it’s
genre. The story itself is well written, although a little hard to follow at
times through the past and the present.
I love the way Stacey Darlington has brought the well formed,
multidimensional, characters to life. The main character is Long Snows Moon, a
totally adorable speaking hybrid dog. The whole book is based on the unique
spirituality between the animals and humans. The message that came across to me
loud and clear is that we are all the same, whether human or animal, all one
together, all our lives are interconnected.
This is more than just another fantasy book. If you enjoy
reading about Native American’s, like animals, want a love story between two
women all combined with a bit of angst and a lot of fun, give this a try, I
certainly wasn’t disappointed.
Although this tale is fiction, I found myself wanting it to be
true. The beautiful vivid scenic settings allowed me to reside amongst the
characters, living with them rather just reading and looking in.
I’ll definitely be looking out for more books from this author
in the future.
