From Goodreads:A reader gets sucked into the book she’s reading and is trapped, unless she convinces the hero of the story to send her home. Just her luck – the book is unfinished, and its sexy hero is far more alpha male than she’s prepared to handle. What Naia doesn’t know: the story – and its hero – have been expecting her for quite some time, even though she has no idea what she’s doing there. Naia must learn quickly how to navigate the dangerous, magical world of Black Moon Draw and find a way to woo the unlikely, uncooperative hero of the story, who holds the key to returning her home. My Thoughts:First – let’s be honest. What reader hasn’t been sucked so far into a book that he or she hasn’t wished they were there, in the pages? This happens quite a bit with me. There are some books, and some characters, that I just can’t get enough of. I relate so well with them and their stories that I feel that I could page on the pages with them. So, of course, I immediately connected with Naia in this book. From the get-go. My cousin was here when I started this book and I keep reading snippets to her. We both laughed because we both related with her. That being said, Naia made this book for me. I loved her from the get-go and battled along with her throughout the story, through the very last door she walked through.The story itself wasn’t as easy for me. The magical world of Black Moon Draw caught me up a few times. All the knights and terminology and settings…. I normally stick with books that, although fiction, could be reality. This was a leap for me, but I was intrigued enough by the summary to test the waters. In the end, the story all came together with me. It just took a while for it to click.There are so many things I want to gush about here, but cannot because I hate spoilers. I will tell you that this story has a little love, a few battles, some magic, some strange characters, some heartthrob men, and an ending that you won’t want to miss.I give Black Moon Draw 4 out of 5 bookmarks and now must go dream of this mysterious fictional place with hopes that I too can be sucked into a novel. I received this book from Barclay Publicity as part of the blog tour in return for a fair and honest review.The idea of a reader waking up in one of the books she's reading is a fresh one on me so I was intrigued when given this to read. This really is an 'Alice in Wonderland' sort of book and really, Naia has my every sympathy as she tries to figure just how the hell she got there, what she's supposed to do, how this world works and more importantly, just who she can trust.There were some real laugh out loud moments in this book for me, such as when our timid battle-witch "I'm not a battle-witch, I'm a librarian" climbs a tree and declares herself a tree-witch instead. The typos, proof-reading and editing comments also made me laugh as this is something that I do myself when reading any book. I think we've all 'spoken' to an author as we've read their book at some time in our reading life. The references to The Princess Bride and Neverending Story just were the icing on top of the cake for me as these are two of my all-time favourite films so I knew the references and could easily understand the implications. However, if you don't know these films then I'm guessing that might be an issue.On the whole, I really enjoyed this book although I would have liked a bit more contact with the other characters. Some, like 'Wolfie' appear to be main characters but you don't have much to do with them at all during the book and you only find out what has happened to them as an aside. Loved the ending and look forward to reading hopefully more from "LF".
