Title: Luna

Publication date: September 5th, 2021

Summary: When Romulus killed Remus, the wolf clans swore enmity to one another ever after.
Seventeen-year-old Jess has survived an upbringing in care. Diagnosed with rage blackouts, people look at her with pity and fear. The solution? Brutal workouts, Art - oh - and staying the hell away from others. Easily done in backwater Maine. 
Yet one night, she wakes to find herself by a lake, her clothes covered in blood, with no memory of what happened. Soon the water is aflame and a portal opens. Transported to the Triodia Penitentiary, she discovers she's a shifter, a type of para. She's accused of murder and locked up.
Desperate to find a way out, she turns to her fellow inmates for help. Yet as they mount an escape, the enemies circling her increase. Will Jess survive unlocking the dangerous Heights and Depths of the para world and those within herself?
Luna is the first in a four-book series, The Dark Between. A decadently dark YA Fantasy full of Heights and Depths that will leave you craving more. Perfect for fans of Laini Taylor and Sarah J. Maas.

Review: I absolutely love this book. I almost finished it in one day. I ended up taking longer than expected but I know that's on my attention span and not on the book. I was reading it at night and I got a little freaked out. The book is not scary it was something in my house but it made it difficult to continue. There were two things that bothered me a little bit about this book one is that even though she thought she was human her whole life she instantly starts saying "by alba" all the time the second she learns she's not. The second is the ending, I understand that the book will be in a series but it feels like it just slams to a stop. She gets somewhere and then the book just ends. I do love the twists of her bloodline, I spent a good chunk of the book just trying to figure out who her parents were and when you find out it's a wonderful shock. I cannot wait to see how she reacts when she finds out.
