Purchase options and add-ons

Finding my fated mate is my worst nightmare...

I want to kick some evil supernatural ass and protect the people I love, not create the next generation of entitled little Alpha pups. As the firstborn daughter of an Alpha, I know my life goal should be becoming a Luna and birthing new Alphas, but all I want is to join the Werewolf Guard.

Things get even more complicated for me after a chance encounter with the mysterious Will Hunter. But no matter how exciting he is, Will is totally, completely off-limits. Any relationship between us is forbidden.

After all, Will isn't just tall, dark, and handsome—he's a freaking vampire. My kind's greatest enemy. Giving in to the attraction would betray my pack and lead to banishment … or worse. Maybe even war.

But when he takes the life of one of his own to save mine, it gets harder and harder to RESIST his charm…

Of-freaking-course I had to find the only Alpha male my father will never approve of. And it’s just a matter of time before he finds out …

** NOW A COMPLETED SERIES **

"The Awakening" is book one in the popular Bloodmoon Wars series, a five-book completed prequel series to the bestselling "Luna Rising" books.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Sara Snow was born and raised in Texas, and she moved to the Washington, D.C. area after high school. She’ll always be a Texas girl at heart, though! Now she lives in Northern Virginia with her family and her adorably fierce Yorkshire Terrier, Loki. In fact, Loki inspired her to write her best-selling series "Luna Rising" (although he's still more of a beta than an alpha!).

When not eagerly working on her next book, she loves to geek out at Marvel movies, play games with her family and friends, and travel around the world (when there isn’t a pandemic, that is!).

No matter where she or what she is doing, she can rarely be found without a book in her hand.

    I am really starting to like this author and her stories. If you like a fast pace romance with action then give this author a try. Get her books and leave your reviews.

    Ok read, I think the hardest thing for me was waiting for this vampire to show up, and yet we don't get to him until after 40% and yet that's super vague. And finally when we get to anything juicy the book is over? I am intrigued by the vampire, yet I don't really feel the connection between these two, there is a ton going on, so what ever this suppose connection is supposed to be its kinda more of background noise. I think we got more of a relationship and more information about her best friends kindling love then what the intro painted us? I'm not sure if I'll read on.

    Enjoyed the story but found the main character annoying. Boasting her alpha status but fairly ignorant of the world around her does not engender balanced decisions.

    Excellent read. Filled with action, twist and forbidden love. Wonderfully enchanted story with a enamoured world building and strong willed characters that are endearing. The book captures you and holds you to the end and more I am fully intend to read the next book as it ends on a cliff. A great start to a young adult series with promising future reads. Totally recommended.
