ARC Review: Mona Lisa Eclipsing {Monère: Children of the Moon #7} by Sunny

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

From the time she was an orphan, Mona Lisa knew she was different. As a Mixed-Blood daughter of the Monère, she rules her domain in the Louisiana Bayou. But she’s about to become the hunted as her mind begins playing tricks, and no one is who they seem.

Roberto Carderas, a dangerous drug lord of mixed Monère heritage, arrives in Cozumel to eliminate a rival. But the jaguar-shifter has encountered a much more valuable prize on the island: Mona Lisa, the first female Monère he’s ever met—and one especially vulnerable in that she has lost her memory. Now, with all knowledge of her real life as stripped away as her defenses, Mona Lisa can be manipulated into believing…anything.

Convinced that Roberto is her kind and sensual protector, Mona Lisa thwarts all attempts at her rescue—including those made by her desperate lover Dante. As Roberto’s devious scheme gets underway, Dante can only hope that the touch of his warm flesh will reignite total recall in the body and mind of the woman he loves. But escape for both of them could be as forever elusive as Mona Lisa’s past.

Mona Lisa Eclipsing (A Novel of the Monere)

*Contains MINOR Spoilers for the previous books in the series.

It had a been a long while since I read the last Monere book and even though I was really looking forward to Mona Lisa Eclipsing, I had no idea how much I missed this world until I finally got to read it. When I did though, I got on such a wild ride with Mona Lisa and her men, that I didn’t want it to end!

As with every book in the Monere series a LOT happens in Mona Lisa Eclipsing and what is described on the blurb is nothing but the tip of the iceberg. I’ll do my best to not spoil anything.

Mona Lisa Eclipsing starts off not long after the events in Mona Lisa Darkening and it has been 6 months since Mona Lisa went from being a nurse in Manhattan that believed something was very wrong with her, to being a powerful Queen of the Monere with a lot of friends and at least 5 men she loves and can call her own.

Mona Lisa is part of the Monere, Children of The Moon, a race descendant to aliens that once came to earth from the Moon and have been living amongst human for longer than time has been counted. Her mixed blood has not stopped her from having that something extra that marks her as a Monere Queen and ever since her life changed, she has been building her new life and reign the best way she can.

In Mona Lisa Craving {Book #5 in the series}, we met Dante, who is the warrior son of a healer, cursed by the high priestess to endure a never-ending cycle of life and death, born and reborn into an ever-diminishing bloodline. Against all odds he and Mona Lisa fell in love, but after a series of awful events, Mona Lisa ended up sending Dante away. After the Hellish events of Mona Lisa Darkening, in this new book Mona Lisa has decided she made a mistake and went after Dante in the last place he had been spotted, Cozumel, Mexico and that’s where everything went to hell in a hand basket.

Sexy Half-Monere drug dealers, Wild Monere shifters with their crazy Queen, Amnesia and a surprise turn of events that will turn Mona Lisa’s world upside down, again! All that makes Mona Lisa Eclipsing a book full of adventures, sexiness and emotions and twists that I, as a huge fan of this series, have been waiting a long time for.

If I have one complaint about Mona Lisa Eclipsing, it was that at times I felt Mona Lisa was taking some situations pretty easily, like with her amnesia and finding out about the Monere all over again. It can be me just being picky, because I know that if she had been whining and fighting it all the way through, I know I would have complained about that too. One other thing was that I felt the timing for her memory to resurface was sort of weird, not bad, just slightly odd.

All in all, Mona Lisa Eclipsing is a great addition to this awesome and sexy series and I recommend to all the Monere fans out there. If you are a Paranoemal Romance fan and haven’t read Sunny’s book yet, I don’t know what you’re waiting for!
