review 1: I did like this book but there were little things that bugged me, the main one being the main character is fifteen years of age and doesn't know what a menstrual cycle is. I mean what fifteen year old doesn't know what a menstrual cycle is! Other little things that annoyed me include the way March behaved and acted about starting her period, for example trying to hide it from her parents. That was another thing even if March didn't know about periods and puberty surely her parents would have told her all about it and what is normal and what is not? That aside I am compelled to get the next book to find out what happens and how March will cope with her recent changes and how she will balance her human life and her wolf side. I look forward to reading the next book. If it wa... moresn't for the things I mentioned before I would give this book a higher rating.
review 2: I'm going to leak a few spoilers so if you don't want to read this review, skip over it. They're NOT major spoilers though, so if you're curious, read away!! ;-)Here are my complaints about the book... Moon Linked starts off with 15 year old March getting her menstrual cycle aka her period. She had NO idea what it was.... seriously!! No idea!! She questioned whether she was sick because she didn't know what the stain in her bed and clothes was. Now, for a book to be believable, you can NOT have a 15 year old not knowing what a period is. They educate kids so early these days so there's no way that's even believable! Next complaint... since she was on her period she had a wolf which she named Mr. Dog (because she was too dumb to know it was a wolf) following her around and howling at her window. Wanna take a guess what the wolf aka Mr. Dog did when it finally caught her? You got it, he humped her leg, several times in the book!! Give me a break! A 15 year old gets her period, doesn't know what it was then has wolves humping her leg?!! What kind of book is this?! Aside from the above issues, the book centered around March going through these totally unreal and unbelievable changes physically. Her hair gets longer, darker, she fills out, grows like 4 inches etc. And NO ONE around her questions this... no one is concerned?! Ooookay!! Anyhow, I thought the IDEA of the story had a lot of promise. It would've been cool for an author who can really write to have come up with the idea first because it's certainly interesting. I just had so many problems with the writing and how immature even the adults in this book were. Even Ethyn's father was talking to March having secret meetings etc... can you say inappropriate?!! So will I read the next book?? I don't know. I honestly would like to find out what happens but I don't know if I can get past how immature the writing is. Maybe a 12 year old would love this book, but it wasn't for me. less

I agree with many reviewers that the main character had quite a few flaws but if was a fun read.
