Skye Walters thought waking up on the side of a river with no memory was her biggest problem. She had no idea that the man who had saved her from drowning, the man she now depended on, Aiden, was more than mere mortal. A warrior of ancient.

No memory, nowhere to go, Skye stays in the mountain town, only to discover she herself, has unexplained powers. Her life, her destiny, are soon out of her control, as are her feelings for Aiden. The deeper Skye gets sucked into Aiden’s hidden world, the more the past, and who she really is, threatens her future, her love, her sanity.

The Flame Moon series is intended for mature audiences. There is violence, sexual situations, and language that isn't so polite.

Decent enough. Could use more worldbuilding (see spoiler below), there's a lot of "this is how it is" with no explanation. The romance didn't really do it for me either. There was nothing outrageously bad or awful, just, nothing spectacularly good either.

Certainly worth reading if you picked it up free like I did (it's definitely more competently written than the majority of the freebies I grab) but I probably won't continue the series.


The worldbuilding is really quite weak, now I think about it. The Panthenites are good. The Malefics are bad. Why are they bad? What makes them that way? Who knows. They seem to be the same as the Panthenites, but with bad tempers and better torture. The Panthenite elders meanwhile, are all kinds of asshole, happy to commit mass infanticide and god knows what else. So why are they "good"?

The MC does question this directly in fact, but gets no answers, and doesn't seem to really care, since she's happy to throw down her lot with their side anyway. I should probably stop thinking about this before I whack it down to a 2 stars ( )

I personally found this book boring and I could not get into it. The characters lacked development and therefore I could not build even a somewhat relationship with them. I felt that the story was stagment and by the time relationships had formed I had lost interest in the story and the relationship. I just felt that this book had too much packed in all the wrong places! ( )

started reading this and could not put it down, i got tangled in the story and had to complete the book as quick as possible to find out how it ended. hope the next one is going to be just as good ( )

I enjoyed this book, it's the first one in a long time that i've been excited to keep reading just to find out what happened. ( )
