Book Review: "Circle of the Moon" by Faith Hunter


Set in the same world as Faith Hunter's bestselling Jane Yellowrock novels, the fourth Soulwood novel stars Nell Ingram, who channels her power from the earth.

Nell can draw magic from the land around her, and lately she's been using it to help the Psy-Law Enforcement Division, which solves paranormal crimes. Joining the team at PsyLED has allowed her to learn more about her powers and the world she always shunned--and to find true friends.
 
Head agent Rick LaFleur shifts into a panther when the moon calls him, but this time, something has gone wrong. Rick calls Nell from a riverbank--he's naked, with no memory of how he came to be there, and there's a dead black cat, sacrificed in a witch circle and killed by black magic, lying next to him. 
 
Then more animals turn up dead, and team rushes to investigate. A blood-witch is out to kill. But when it seems as if their leader is involved in the crime, the bonds that hold the team together could shatter at any moment.-from Amazon.com

This is the fourth book in the Soulwood series by Hunter. The series is an off-shoot from the author's Janne Yellowrock series (which I have also enjoyed). This ARC was given to me by the publishers through Netgalley.com in exchange for a review. #Netgalledy #circleofthemoon

I enjoyed reading this book, as I have for the previous ones in the series. Definitely would like more answers to questions that popped up regarding certain events that occurred in the story line. Would love to read more in this series if there are to be more. SPOILERS AHEAD: What's the deal with the vampiric tree sprout that Nell uses? If that tree is so bad, why does she travel with a sprout of it in her truck (and called it cute? Groot reference...)? Or maybe I missed something in the previous book or in reading of this one....

Either way a good read. Would definitely suggest to others for reading.
