January Jaxson was
blindsided by her husband ditching her for some fluff trophy wife, steals the
business she developed and ran with him and to top it off kicks her out of the
house during the holidays. When her best friend suggests moving back to
Moonshadow Bay, she takes it and finds herself adrift at age forty-one. But
settling back in her hometown and getting back into her magic, January takes a
job with Conjure Ink and finds more than even she bargained for when her very
first case thrusts her into mystery that has deadly consequences for
unsuspecting people. Along with the Conjure Ink crew, she has to investigate an
old, abandoned asylum that has dead bodies turning up on the land around it with
no logical explanations to their deaths. Now the race is on as she figures out
this case, keep ahead of the danger that goes over this place like a cloud and
try to navigate this new life she is making for herself. Who said the forties
were so boring?
I love this new introduction
to Yasmine Galenorn’s newest series, Moonshadow Bay, in STARLIGHT WEB. I
love how the main character is in her forties and not needing rescuing all the
time. As this was the first of this new genre called Paranormal Women’s Fiction
for me to read, I got to admit, this just blew me away in a good way. I loved
the story, the characters and how the author world building in Moonshadow Bay.
The story flows swift and kept my attention right till the very end and then I
had to pre-order book two, Midnight Web next. As this was one of my favorite authors,
Ms. Galenorn doesn’t disappoint in STARLIGHT WEB. It’s a fast-paced ride
from start to finish.
What I really loved about
the characters were how relatable they were. January Jaxson was a more mature character
that just kept me glued to the pages from page one. She was quirky, enjoyable,
and highly entertaining. I couldn’t get enough of her. I really enjoyed her new
co-workers at Conjure Ink as they were diverse and unique in and of themselves.
I was hooked and the story felt fresh and unique as well. Add in a mysterious
neighbor with his own secrets as a love interest for January, well I was
intrigued for more. If you enjoy a heroine who you can root for, characters to
fall in love with and a story to just captivate you then you will enjoy
Moonshdow Bay and STARLIGHT WEB. I look forward to more from this author
set in this unique world she has created amid the pages.
