Welcome to Traitor’s Den. I hope you like it here, because there’s no leaving the small western town that’s more theme park than authentic. Once you walk through the portal, you’re stuck as a boot heel in a half foot of mud.
I’ve never seen the outside world and I don’t care. The cannon-toting, trigger-happy residents here are like family, even if most of them are a few spoons short of a full set. Eventually, everyone grows on you, kinda like nail fungus. But the booze flows freely, and Tiger keeps me company. He’s as much a prisoner as I am.
I don’t figure there’s much point in wanting what you can never have. I’ll eventually accept one of my boyfriend’s marriage proposals and then keep policing the one-way town while I pop out the babies he wants. I was born knowing how to make chicken salad out of chicken shit.
At least I won’t be bored. Denners aren’t fans of following the rules, and the longer they’re in town, the worse they behave, thanks to the spell that keeps us all trapped here.
Just when I think I’ve made my peace with my lot, the portal pops open and two men shoot through, throwing punches before their feet even finish landing in my town. When they finally look at me, all I see is problems. Big, ginormous, entirely-too-handsome problems. And that’s before I even take into account the little “surprise” they brought through with them.
No one’s ever looked at me the way they do.
They aren’t the kind of men who back down after claiming something.
Or someone…
Did I say I had my life in Traitor’s Den all figured out? Hell, I couldn’t have been more wrong.
* A sexy fantasy western with growly shifters, sketchy vamps, peculiar mages and creatures, and one badass cowgirl sheriff. Within this small town, magic and gossip flow as freely as whiskey, and work and pleasure are nearly the same thing. Weird things happen on the regular in Traitor’s Den. Come and join the quirky family, where everyone’s packing. Oh, and don’t mind the tiger.
My Review:
When I read the summary for When the Moon Shines I was hooked. I had to read it. I knew going in that it was a fantasy book in a western setting. I thought this is going to be interesting. I couldn’t wait to dive in. I thought I knew just what this book was going to be about but boy was I wrong. When the Moon Shines is way more than a fantasy paranormal it is more of a comedy story with an old west kind of feel to it.
When the Moon Shines is set in a town called Traitor’s Den. Traitor’s Den was created by the Sheriff of Traitor’s Den’s uncle as a place to send people for a type of punishment. There is a whole wide range of different characters in Traitor’s Den. Most are sent through the portals but some fall through it accidentally once you step foot in Traitor’s Den, you are stuck with no way out.
When I picked up When the Moon Shines I was drawn in by all of its characters, especially Sheriff Loretta Maybelle Ray. When the Moon Shines proved to be everything it promised to be and then some. I can’t wait to continue When the Moon Shines in the next book in the Six Shooter and a Shifter series to see where the story leads next.
I do believe that When the Moon Shines would make a great TV show. TV shows like American Horror Story or Supernatural with a different story each week maybe or maybe each season has a different story or something similar. Well, I don’t know but either way, it should be on the big screen.
