To Read is To Live

Marked by Moonlight (The Moon Chasers, #1) - Sharie Kohler On one night, mousy teacher Claire Morgan is attacked by what she thinks as an ordinary big dog. But Gordon March, an agent from NODEAL (National Organization for Defense against Evolving and Ancient Lycanthropes), knows better. The dog is actually a lycan and now that Claire is infected, she is cursed to transform to lycan in the next full moon and feed on human. Except if the Alpha of the lycan that infects can be killed before the full transformation, and only that way can save Claire's soul ...------------------On one hand, it does give something 'new' to the myth. Kill the Alpha before the first feed, and the lycan curse can be broken (which actually happens in the end, as Claire kills the Alpha, and she turns back into human. That's different.). On the other hand, I'm not fully impressed with the hero and heroine. Claire practically does nothing, except feeling sexy (since she's in heat), and fall in love with Gideon. Gideon too, feels a deep attraction to Claire, defies the usual NODEAL rules, and helps her. In fact, I'm more intrigued with Darius, the very, VERY old lycan who hasn't feed for the past 300 years.The story is just so-so, for me, and that is why probably I end up getting distracted a lot before I can actually finish this. BUT, I think I might give the series a try and see how the next book is.
