I got more than I was expecting when I started this one. I was expecting a PNR that gave as good as it got, but then there was a slight twist on things. Kensi finds she has high aspiration for one in her predicament. She will need help reaching the shelf she wants. In come Drake. Things are not as they appear and things continue to become a bit of a challenge for Kensi. Narration was clean, clear, and flowing.

An Intriguing Start To A Entertaining Series!

This book has it all, mystery, murder, love and jealousy which caused all the trouble in the first place. I loved Drake and Kenzie together, it was the first time she could be herself. This is a great start to a new series which has all the right qualities Love, Jealousy, and all the ingredients for plenty of actions mentioned. I now have to start on Book Two when released.

I received this audiobook as part of my participation in a blog tour with Audiobookworm Promotions. The tour is being sponsored by Carmen Fox. The gifting of this audiobook did not affect my opinion of it.

Not a bad start.

I hate writing negative reviews but I have to address the narration by Phoenix McKay. In the beginning, it sounds like the narrator is simply reading the story. There is not much influx between the various character voices either. However, as the story progressed, McKay did seem to get a feel for the story and the characters and began to deliver it with more emotion. If the narration had been better, I would have enjoyed the story much more. With that said, author Carmen Fox's Moon Promise embodies mystery, suspense, and romance in this story of self discovery. The MC, Kensi, is searching for her inner wolf as well as a missing werewolf from the Wild Pack. She has traveled to Colorado to lend her PI services to the Alpha and to learn about her mother's pack. The story was nicely done but unfortunately, the narration took away from that.

Fantastic

Great read. I could not put down. I hope there is a follow up book about the Alpha and the librarian

Moon Promise

The Story: 4 stars
Princess Kensington is a werewolf, the daughter to the King/Alpha and a Private Investigator with a HUGE secret. She is unable to shift! That in itself was enough to intrigue me to read/listen to this story! Kensi isn’t sure why she can’t shift but in order to one day become Alpha she really needs to make the change. She takes a PI case for a wolf pack and it turns out it is in the prime spot for her to do some investigation of her own – looking into her mother’s lineage. Kensi has a feeling the reason she cant change is due in part to her mothers side.

The case see her get close to a wolf named Drake and the chemistry was there from the start for them, but when the investigation points the blame to Drake Kensie has to do everything she can to prove his innocence and find the true culprit at the same time. It was a good story and it moved at a great pace having me hooked.

This is first book by Carmen Fox I have read and I loved her style, world building and characters. Wont be my last book of her’s that’s for sure

The Narration: 3 stars
I have to be honest I did not take to Phoenix McKay in the beginning, she showed not emotion or much in the way of differentiation between characters. It felt like she was just reading the story. As it went on there was semblance of emotion etc coming through but not much and unfortunately this did impact on my enjoyment of the story. The audio was flawless though and there was no background noise, some slight static at the new chapter announcements a few time but apart from that it was smooth.
