I have to admit I wasn't very impressed on the writing in this book. And after reading other reviews on this book I was very apprehensive to read this series. I looked up reviews for the following books to the series and saw that there was quite a turn around. So I decided to divide into the series. Aside the writing, the book has a really great concept. For 200 something pages i breezed right though it and onto the very next book in the same night. I wasn't disappointed. Werewolves by far are my favorite fupernatural creature to read about that is why I wanted to read the Lone March Series. "Moon-Linked" introduces us to 15 year old, high school student March Howe is not a part of the in crowd. Most of her life she has missed a lot of school because she has been ill so much so that she has not hit puberty yet.However, when she realizes that she starts her period for the first time, that will not be the only change her body will undertake.All of a sudden March's hair grows darker and longer, her height increases, her feet begin to grow and now she has boobies all within one day. She gets into trouble at school because her shirt is too short revealing skin. Her mother cannot believe what has occured but forces her to wear some of her clothes until they can go shopping for others. Then, Ethyn, a boy that March has been obsessing over notices her and invites her over to his house to prepare for their speech debate. Ethyn's father immediately know what she is and is suspicious of why she has come to their home. He confronts her but quickly realizes that she does not know what he is speaking of. So, he informs her that hse is adopted and he has other secrets to reveal about her future.March discovers that she is a werewolf but needs to be taught about her species and the change by her own kind. It seems that Ethyn's father is a were raven and unable to guide her in her first shift. He arranges for her to be picked up and trained. Little do either of them know but the werewolves do not have any females due to a war that had broken out years prior. March is in for a rude awakening and her very life may depend on how well she can adjust to change.First, let me say that this storyline is quite unique although you may not have picked that up by my description. It is rather interesting. However, I must say that the writing is awkward and not rather elementary in its format. At times, I had to ask myself, "Is this written for middle school or high school?" Although I was not a fan of the writing I found the story intriguing. I purchased all three books at the same time; so, I will go on to read the next two books. I am not sure if I would have continued on with the series. Hopefully the writing will be better in the next two books.
What do You think about Moon-Linked (2000)?
Loved this book. It was slow in places, but definitely picks up!
