review 1: I have not read the first book in this series, and that may well contribute to why I could not finish this book. I may go back and try book one, but I won't let it be said that I have high hopes for it.Interestingly, despite a few facepalm-inducing scenes of alpha male bullshit directed at side characters, I didn't take much issue with the romantic aspect. The relationship between the two mains was surprisingly respectful, given the genre. It was the rest of the writing that I could not slog through. While I understand that it can be confusing to pick up a book that is mid-series, this one was more confusing and off-putting than most. Mostly along the lines of 'much explanation, little information.' The dialogue also suffered some iffy moments in the same vein and while th... moreere is a sex scene within the first couple of chapters, there is little in the way of recap that makes any discernible sense.tl;dr : Interesting enough premise, amateur writing.
review 2: The second book of the Crimson Moon series, “Bite the Bullet” by L.A Banks, is just as good as the first one.In this book we have the development of Sasha’s story who works for the government in a secret team. The world building is kind of strange in this series, with many different kinds of shifters (Shadow wolves, Werewolves, demon infected wolves) and the reader has to be very careful while reading the book.Sasha has her usual problems but in this book we can see Max Hunter’s problems too. Max is her boyfriend and he has been infected with the demon virus since his birth. Now, the situation is worst and he is afraid that he’ll become one of the monsters as well. Sasha is strong and logical as always. She is very capable and her military training is pretty obvious. She can make difficult decisions and she’s not the typical female lead character because we can’t see her in any time like a damsel in distress. In this book she’s more angry that the first and I’m not sure that I like this change much.This series so far has very well written secondary characters like Sasha’s team and Hunter’s pack. The storyline is pretty good and the fans of urban fantasy will enjoy it. less
