Blood Moon (Star Touched: Wolf Born 1) Kindle Edition

4.4 out of 5 stars 2,658 ratings

Step into a world of rejected mates, wolf shifters, and dangerous secrets in Blood Moon, the captivating first book in USA Today bestselling author Michelle Madow’s completed Wolf Born series.

One moment Ruby Grace is an ordinary girl enjoying a ski trip in the Adirondack Mountains, and the next she’s running through the woods as a
wolf.

When she’s herself again, she seeks refuge in the house of Connor Ward, the mysterious and devastatingly gorgeous guy whose party she attended the night before. She tells him what happened, and he drops the biggest bombshell of her life: she’s a wolf shifter.

Except when Ruby tries to use shifter magic, nothing happens.

Which relegates her to the bottom tier of shifter society. Basically, lower than dirt.

But adapting to her new life is the least of Ruby’s concerns, because strange things are happening in Pine Valley. Humans in town are going missing. Ruby’s eyes change color overnight. And a new, dangerous type of magic emerges.

The biggest challenge, however, comes when the mate bond ignites between Ruby and Connor. Because he’s promised to someone else. And he intends on standing by that promise, even if it means fighting every instinct and doing something that might shatter his soul in the process: rejecting his fated mate.

Perfect for fans of Crave, Wolf Girl, and Rejected, Wolf Born is a series where fate is dangerous, power is everything, and love might just be her greatest risk.


Get ready for a world of:
🐺
Slow-burn, enemies-to-fated-mates tension
🌕
A dangerous pack heir who would kill to protect her
💔
A heroine hiding magic that could get her exiled—or worse
🔥
No-touch rules, off-the-charts chemistry, and one hell of a first shift
🖤
Small town secrets, supernatural politics, and primal longing

    I have been reading Michelle Madow since I discovered her book Remembrance back in 2012. I have read most of her books since there, and there hasn’t been a single book I didn’t love. I was excited when I heard she has a new series dealing with wolf shifters. I love books about shapeshifters, especially wolves; it has always been one of my favorite fantasies to read about. I couldn’t wait to read about Ruby’s adventures and felt that it would be a book I would love. Once I started reading Blood Moon, I found myself reading late into the night a few times. I wanted to see what would happen with Ruby next, and most of all, I wanted to see if anything would develop between Connor and Ruby.

    I have read a few books that dealt with shifters through the years, Blood Moon was unlike any other book I have read before, and that’s what I loved about this one. I loved the emotions in this book, they are so vivid, and in each chapter, each character, I find myself feeling everything that the characters are feeling. Autumn, right now, I am not too fond of her; I have a feeling that she’s up to something. I know that Autumn feels threatened by Ruby, and I have a bad feeling about what she is willing to do to get rid of her. Connor is another character that I’m not sure about. There is part of me that knows that he’s conflicted about being royal to his girlfriend, Autumn, but also his responsibility to Ruby. I want to like Connor, but I don’t particularly appreciate how he treats Ruby sometimes.

    I couldn’t get enough of Ruby; s story. The minute I turned the last page, I picked up Shadow Moon , wanting to see what awaits Ruby and her friends next. I love the book covers for all of the author’s books, but from all of her books that I have read, the covers for this series are my favorites. I would highly recommend this series to any fantasy fans. Be ready for a thrilling ride!

    Enjoyed this storyline and the ending left me wanting to know what’s next. The story provides paranormal,some mystery, and a need to see whats next. Very interesting read with a great cliffhanger ending. My only reason for three stars is my feeling on the characters. I don’t feel really connected to any of them. The story is what carried the book. Hoping as they develop and story goes on to connect more. Really enjoyable read!

    I’ve read almost every series that Michelle Madow has written. I take my time reading, because I really enjoy savouring the character and world building she creates. Whether it’s historical romance or a book with the word Demon in it, (when I think it’s a book I may not enjoy), in the end, Michelle always makes me glad I picked up her book to read.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing story!
    Reviewed in Australia on April 14, 2023
    This was another amazing book by Michelle Madow. I was hooked by the end of the first page and read this book in a few hours. It was so good that I just couldn’t put it down.

    Blood Moon is the start of a new series and introduced us to Ruby. She is very likeable and I was invested in her story almost immediately. We are also introduced to her fated mate, his girlfriend and their alpha. I won’t say much about them at this stage except that I very quickly disliked 2 of them a lot and the third I’m still deciding if I like them or dislike them even though I do understand their turmoil with the situation they are in which is definitely affecting their behaviour.

    This story has a lot of unexpected twists and turns and I was constantly surprised. Ruby faces a lot in a very short time. I’m hoping she has made a true friend that will be on her side (towards the end of the book), it’s looking like she’s a good friend so far.

    I highly recommend this book and can’t wait for book 2.

    She goes away to party, but then she turns into a wolf for the first time during a blood moon. The alpha's son is conflicted, he has a girlfriend that he promised to stay with mate or no mate and now he had found his true mate. His girlfriend does not like it and is very jealous. How will this turn out?
