Darkest Moon was a quick and easy read. I found out after I finished the book it is a cannon of several different series. I do plan on going back and reading the original series when I have time. Shifters aren't my favorite supernatural creature in the fantasy genre, but that did not take away from my enjoyment of the book. I don't think I would purchase this book, but I did rent it on KU, and it was worth the time I put into reading it. Overall I would give it 3 stars.
