An Unlucky Moon by Carrie Ann Ryan

This novel is the third in the Dante’s Circle series, and is the story of Becca, one of seven lightning struck women, and Hunter, a werewolf.  Becca has been through her share of trouble.  Growing up in a troubled home with little love, no father figure and getting kicked out at seventeen.  Then, she struggled through life, working at Dante’s circle, living above it, and going to college, trying to figure out where her life would take her.    After being struck by lightning along with her six best friends, she has watched two of them, Lily and Jenna find their true halves and come into their powers and supernatural selves.

Becca, however, has found her true half, but he has left her.  Hunter, a werewolf rescued from Hell by Jenna’s true halves Ambrose, a warrior angel, and Balin, a demon, has returned to his pack to settle things and find out who sent him to Hell.  Becca is alone and she is growing weak from the lack of bonding with her true half.  She begins to wonder if Hunter will return at all.

Hunter, saved from Hell, wants desperately to return to mate with his true half, Becca, but things within the pack continue to prevent him from doing so.  The council conspires against the Alpha, and against Hunter as well.  With so much against him, he fears bringing Becca into the pack.

Can Becca wait for Hunter, or will she give up and find someone new?  Will Hunter be able to overcome those that conspire against him and bond with his true half?  What are Becca’s powers?  What will she become?  And will it help the pack if she and Hunter mate and bond?  Who is conspiring against Hunter, and are they after Becca, too?  Will both of them be able to put the past behind them and make a new life together?

I had a very hard time putting this book down, in fact, I finished it in two evenings!  A wonderful story of love and struggle.  I highly recommend it.  The characters are well written, and the plot flows well.  A great paranormal read!
