Moonstruck is an adorable new supernatural series. It has werewolves, witches, and so many more creatures than you can imagine fitting into one series. Oh, and did I mention that it’s also very LGBTQ+ friendly?
This was such a charming read; I can’t believe I didn’t get to it sooner! It’s basically everything I could have hoped for in a casual, comfortable series. It has magical creatures, best friends, fun plots, and a welcoming nature to it. Of course I fell in love with it right on the spot.
Julie is the main perspective for the series, she’s a werewolf barista with self-confidence issues and low self-esteem, especially in regards to here werewolf form. It’s sort of endearing, how shy she is about it – it felt so human that it was impossible to do anything but identify with her.
Naturally Julie has a best friend and a love interest, and the lot of them get involved in a supernatural mystery. I’ll admit that I was surprised by how intense some parts were – like the reason they had to come together and resolve the issue.
There is a lot of character development in the series, specifically around having them accept who they are and learning to trust people. It was sweet, but also carried a lot of important messages for those of us stuck in the real world as well.
There were so many cute and hilarious moments in this volume; I honestly can’t even bring myself to hint at them. I don’t want to spoil a single moment for you, so I’ll just say that those moments alone would make this volume worth reading.
I’m so glad that the next volume is almost out (actually, by the time this review is out the second volume will likely already be out!). I’m looking forward to seeing what adorable adventures they’ll get into next time. I’m sure they’ll keep the characters they’ve introduced so far, though I wouldn’t be against them adding a new character or two!
