Customer Reviews

Couldn't put it down!

Believe the reviews, this book is good! I read the reviews, and seeing all the six that were there at the time rated it at 5 stars I decided to give it a go, specially since the plot already interested me. And I didn't regret it! This books really lived up to my expectations! All the characters are well described, are powerful in their way and they are lovely. For instace, I really enjoyed Darius, and I hopoe he feattures more and more prominently in future books!!! The only thing that sounded a little forced was the fact of Giddeon not killing Claire when he first knows she's infected. He is a man that has suffered at the hands of werewolves and has been killing them for as long as he remembers, so it didn't make much sense when he goes all soft hearted over Claire when he walks in her apartment, pics a couple of photos and afterwards sees her sleeping and can't bring himself to do what he himself calls "what has to be done". Afterwards, in the book, he says he's tired of vengenace. Maybe that and falling for her explains it. The plot of the book is sound, and the only thing I missed when it ended was some mention to some other characters that had been playing on the book, as Nina or Darius. I thught they would get some sort of mention or something. But all in all, the book is great, so... five stars it is, and to wait for the second one on the series!!!

Marked by Moonlight

Gideon is hot...... This book was extremely entertaining, I couldn't put it down. I can't wait for the next in the series. The writing in this book puts me in minds of Kelsey Cole/Christine Warren. If you like those authors, you will like this.

Not to be missed!

In this fast paced tale of a newly infected lycan and a dedicated lycan hunter, Sharie Kohler has created an intriguing world that draws the reader in from the first page. Claire Morgan is a teacher looking for a missing student when she's attached by a werewolf. Gideon March kills the beast but not before Claire's infected. He knows he should kill her too, but for the first time in his life he wants to save a lycan from the fate that awaits her at the next full moon. As Claire and Gideon race against time to find and kill the Alpha of the lycan pack and free Claire, they must learn to trust each other even as they fight the dangerous passion they both feel. The book's world unfolds to the reader as Claire learns about the lycans and the secret society of lycan hunters who will kill her on sight. While Claire finds a new strength as a lycan to deal with childhood abuse, Gideon faces his own ghosts to heal the burning hatred that has driven him since he was a teenager. One of the secondary characters, an ancient lycan named Darius, is especially fascinating because he forces both Claire and Gideon to look beyond the stereotype and trust him Although I had never read a werewolf paranormal before, Ms. Kohler's characters and their world were so skillfully developed, familiarity with the mythology was not necessary. My only disappointment was that the story ended. I sure hope Ms. Kohler writes Darius's story one day soon.

I 'Lycan' It!

Claire Morgan is a skittish mouse of a woman who's dedicated her life to high-risk high-schoolers. She never imagined `high-risk' would involve a dark alley and the excruciating pain of a lycan bite. Assuming she's only been bitten by a stray dog and not a newly-transformed student, Claire is oblivious to the slow, inexorable transformation that will culminate on the next full moon, leaving her a fearsome, frenzied wild beast. Gideon March has a long and vengeful history with lycans. A witness to Claire's assault, he kills her attacker, fully intending to murder Claire before she has a chance to change and feed. But inexplicably, he can't pull the trigger and instead finds himself in the unfamiliar position of trying to convince Claire what her future holds unless they can reverse the effects of the lycan bite before it's too late. Thrumming with sexual tension and a thrilling undercurrent of suspense, Marked by Moonlight cements Sharie Kohler as a compelling new voice in paranormal romance.

Fabulous debut!

Marked by Moonlight is the debut novel in an exciting new series by Sharie Kohler. It is super sexy, the tension is incredibly palpable and it kept me thoroughly entertained from beginning to end. One thing I love about Sharie's writing is that it is so descriptive. I always felt like I was right there with Claire and Gideon ... feeling what they were feeling, seeing what they were seeing, smelling what they were smelling. Claire is such a believable character as she went from meek to aggressive. The way that Sharie described and showed the changes that Claire went through, made me feel like I was a fly on the wall ... or that I was her. I loved Claire. And Gideon, well, he is just hot! He was persistent with Claire and didn't give up on her which was completely endearing. He is a strong, sexy hero that could of, given his past, taken the easy route, but didn't. Sharie made Gideon's decision to save Claire completely understandable ... and that made me love him even more. These two were made for each other. And the secondary characters added so much to the story. Overall, I loved this book and am eagerly anticipating the next book in the series!!
