Lunarmorte - Sam Young

Wow. Just Wow. Usually i would just start with the description of the book but i actually just finished it about 5 minutes ago so i am still having after-affects. This book was just....wow.
"Amidst the magikal children of the ancient Greek gods, lives a girl destined to bring their ancient war to an end.

Caia Ribeiro has lived a life of isolation and mystery since the death of her parents, and separation from her lykan pack at the age of seven. Returning ten years later under the supervision of the pack's young leader, Lucien, Caia finds herself seduced by pack life and her enigmatic guardian. But when strange happenings lead to near exposure of their world, Caia begins to realise Lucien and the Elders have been keeping unforgivable secrets, leaving Cania to come to terms with her dark and unique heritage.

Scarcely given time to adjust to her new reality, the war she believed stormed only on distant shores, crashes on her doorstep, forcing Caia to put aside her conflict with Lucien, in order to save them all from an old enemy and his relentless pursuit. "

Lunarmorte was filed with so many surprises throughout that your hand would be glued to your mouth in shock if it wasn't being used to hold the page open. Let me tell you it NEVER gets boring. There's two guys fighting over her...sigh...and powers no one else has witnessed before. i mean what else could you want from a novel it is just utterly pleasing.
*Small Spoiler* The death scene at the end was the only thing i felt should have been changed, yes something needed to be done with the issue the person had, but i felt death could have been avoided as I'm sure Samantha could have thought up more creative solutions also the book did not benefit from this either - it just felt a bit pointless really. *End Spoiler*
Anyway i loved the character of Lucien he was just to die for! especially that short temper he seems to have with Caia. Caia got on my nerves a bit in the beginning as even thought being 17 she had the balls of a 10 year old, in this era what 17 year old would cower like that? i understand the situation she was put in but felt Sam was exaggerating her timidity at the start. As the book went on she seemed to have gained more balls to a point where she stands up to the pack leader.
All in all this book was a refreshing read that i thoroughly enjoyed and hope you will too. This gets a 9 on the SophaScale.
