Witchling (Sisters of the Moon, Book 1)

Great start to a new series. Hardly any down spots and wasted page fillers. I love the diversity of having witches, vampires, fairie/fey and my fav demons. This book had good sex with hardly any romance which I more than appreciated and had great action. I'm looking forward to reading book 2.

I was surprised to discover just how much I enjoyed this novel. The story is about three sisters, all half faery. One is a buxom witch who turns all the guys heads, but is intellegent and strong-willed. The second is a changeling, tall, blonde, and athletic with a soft heart. The third is a recently turned vampire, small, petite, red-headed and tough. The three sisters work on earth as a go-between between the faery world and ours. Unfortunately they are called in when a giant has been found murdered and uncover a horrible plot to take over both worlds. Basically the girls are all we have to stand between the terrible evil coming and the world. I won't say more, but suffice it to say this is no fluff novel. It is a fast-paced fun ride in which I can't wait to read the next one.

I have to say I was attracked to the cover of this book & was quite pleasantly surprised by the quality of writing, once I got in to the book. the characters are well crafted, while retaining enough mystery to leave you wanting more (in the sequel, one can only hope.) Also, while the mythos for this world is well rounded, it is not "crammed down your throat" so much that you miss the story. The plot is always the driving force, and what a force that is....I can not wait to read the next book in this series. I was afraid this was going to come off as a "Charmed" knock off, but these three weird sisters have it all going on, and a bag of chips (to go with the late night bad TV...read the book & you'll understand...)

There's nothing better on a cold winter day than a cup of steaming cocoa and a good book. WITCHLING definitely qualifies as a good book--one of the best of 2006. And if reading about Camille D'Artigo and her sisters' exploits doesn't get your blood pumping, well you'd better watch out because Menolly might want a snack. (She's very neat about it, though.) The book is set in contemporary greater Seattle area and features the three D'Artigo sisters who are half human and half fae. Each has a special gift although because they're half-bloods, their gifts aren't exactly reliable. Camille is a witch, Delilah shapeshifts to a kitty, and Menolly is a vamp. The sisters work for the Otherworld Intelligence Agency and must find another operative's murderer. But when the murderer turns into three--demons, that is, things get a little exciting. I really don't want to say much about the plot because each chapter is a discovery, and the reader will want to make that discovery himself. Who doesn't like murder, suspense, dragons, demons, and a baby gargoyle, all mixed in with a good dose of humor? WITCHLING is an exciting, compelling read. The worldbuilding is incredible and the characters are spellbinding, no pun intended. I heartily recommend this book and am eagerly looking forward to the next in the Sisters of the Moon series, CHANGELING.

I loved this book! The first few chapters were a little slow, but soon I found myself totally emersed in the world the author had created. The only thing that even slightly disappoints me is that it will be told from a different sister in each book. I loved Camille and the men in her life (especially a certain dragon !!) and I would love to find out more from her point of view. Still, I cannot WAIT for the next one.
