4 ½ stars – Paranormal Romance
Great start to a steamy series about lycans and lycan hunters. I loved the sexy lycan hunter Gideon! The chemistry and sexual tension between the hero and heroine is palpable and the romance is scorching hot. There are a lot of werewolf series in the paranormal romance genre, but the Moon Chasers series definitely stands out. I’m looking forward to future books in the series and more books from this author.

This book is about a teacher who gets bit by a lycan (werewolf) and has until the next full moon before she turns. If she kills at that full moon she is damned. Soulless. Vampire? No wait, this is a werewolf book, just a different take on it, but using the stereotypical Hollywood aspect. Soulless slavering beasts who kill indiscriminately.

Ами... Да помислим... Откъде да започна. О, знам. Аз - блахахах (истеричен смях). Не. Сериозно? Поглеждам корицата - блахахахаха (още истеричен смях). Защо? Ами да речем, че просто това беше реакцията ми за почти всеки ред, който прочитах, горе-долу от трета глава на книгата до края. И не. Всъщност нямаше нищо чак толкова смешно, освен абсурдите, които се редяха един след друг. Сериозно? Да. Напълно съм сериозна.

hmmm.... Gideon ini Lycan Hunter yang dulu pas masih kecil ibunya kena infeksi lycan sehingga membunuh ayahnya dan hampir membunuh dia dan adiknya juga pas bulan purnama.

The basic story was ok. The best parts were the timid teacher turning into the angry aggressor.
STORY BRIEF:
Claire is a mousy, timid school teacher. She lets people walk all over her because she doesn’t like confrontation. One evening she is bitten by a lycan (werewolf). Her eyes turn silver. She won’t turn into a wolf until the next full moon. Meanwhile, she begins feeling strength, hunger and anger. There are a couple of great scenes as she shows her anger and threatens her abusive father and a...more

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...more

Marked By Moonlight was the only book in the Moon Chasers Series that I personally could get into. I loved the different but still kinda traditional take on the lycan theory.
Claire Morgan started off as an average woman in the real world, until one night her "luck" changed and she started transforming into a sexy lustful lycan, and she realizes that she hasn't been living life to the fullest.
Then you've got the incredibly sexy lycan hunter Gideon March, who knows and understands what his job i...more

I'm with Elyssa so far. However, I'm only on page ten. Not counting the three page Prologue, we have the heroine stepping, locking, brushing, squaring, stepping (again), jumping. gripping, stuffing, halting and nearing! And these are all at the beginning of her sentences. Okay, once in a while gerunds are okay, but I'm so sick already of all these "ing" things the heroine is doing, how am I ever going to get through 350 pages of it???
And I'm wondering how a smile "wobbles"?

One evening while visiting the home of a student, school teacher Claire Morgan is attacked and bitten by a lycan (werewolf). Lycan hunter, Gideon March witnesses the attack and reluctant to kill the blameless women, he follows her home. He explains to Claire that during the next full moon she will shift into a lycan and be unable to fight the need to feed on human blood. Claire thinks Gideon is crazy, gorgeous and a bit stalkery but definitely crazy. Gideon keeps appearing and claiming all these...more
this was a little different take on weres. in this book they turn completely feral once they experience their first change and commit murder. of course that attracted an entire group of hunters to take care of the problem.
while this story was ok it certainly brought to the forefront that i like my preternaturals not being the bad guys. the ending of the story seemed to be leading to a place where a lycan could show the hunters that they can in fact live without murdering. this opens up the poss...more

This book was so good! it is sort of like the twilight books only it deals with a lycan and a Lycan hunter. lycans are like werewolves only in this book werewolves are are not real. when a lycan is changed by being Biten they don't loose their soul until they change on the next full moon and kill and feed.

I was initially very bothered by the indiscriminate hate on all lycans and that all lycans are inherently evil since I am more familiar with stories of good guys existing in all forms of shapeshifters. But it seems like that would change in future books, for which I am glad. Although I almost stopped reading due to my own perceptions on how shapeshifters should NOT behave, lol, I adored Claire and wanting to know how she fared made me forge on with the story. I loved that the lycan virus helped...more
I loved this book. I flew through it. The story flowed seamlessly. I connected with all the characters immediately and each time I would say, "I'll just finish this chapter ...", I had to keep reading to find out what happened next. Loved the relationship with Claire & Gideon and the hope they had for "curing" her. I also liked how his feelings for Claire opened his mind to the possibilities of helping, instead of just killing lycans in the future. I'm anxious to get started on book 2, Kiss...more

I was excited to read this book because I have heard a lot of good things about the series, but overall it was a little bit of a letdown. The summary looked like something that would be right up my alley and I went in excited, but I never really connected with the two main characters. It had all the elements there, but for whatever reason I did not click with Claire and Gideon. It was also a little strange to see the Lycans (which are sorta like werewolves) being the ultimate enemy and not reall...more

For me, this was a new series that I found not all too long ago. I picked up the first and the third book... couldn't find the second which the author was amazing and sent a copy so I could read the whole series. The first book didn't disappoint me at all; it was a great beginning with an interesting take on Lycans and their hunters.

Absolutely horrifying. And not in a good way. There you have it.
Besides the style, which was shiver-inducing, the whole reading experience was a terrible exercise in eye-rolling and snorting at the ridiculousness of it all.
Lycans are supposed to be lycans. Once infected, there's no turning back. That's the lore. You can't change the lore. Apparently Ms. Kohler didn't get the memo. At least she kept the silver bullets.

And another one bites the dust. I'm surprised I saw this mentioned so much in Goodreads groups. There were some interesting points in Marked by Moonlight: Claire's moments as schoolteacher, a troubled student's disappearance and the tiny glimpse of werewolf society, but Sharie Kohler did not develop any of this as realistically or at least as richly as I would have liked.

Thee book started off believable but then it was just all about the sex. I understand that being a lycan would lead to primitive urges, but is there absolutely any human sense left? Barely being able to restrain yourself from jumping the bones of the guy who has just told you several times that he will kill you, does not seem in the least bit believable to me. I would have liked it more if that part had been toned down a bit. I will read the rest of the series but it probably won't be a re-read....more
Good read - action oriented paranormal romance. Bitten by a lycan [werewolf:] the heroine should be killed before she becomes a slavering beast. At least that's what the hero believes and has never had a problem doing before... To have a hope of saving her they must find the alpha of the pack who turned her and kill him before the next full moon.
I'll be looking for the next ones.

Hmm. I haven't been reading PNR (or anything, really) for a while, and this was my first "getting back into it" book.
Overall, I think I liked it a lot, although there were some editing things that bugged me (mainly words repeated in adjacent paragraphs or even adjacent sentences). It read a bit more like an Urban Fantasy novel to me except in the last chapter where the tone suddenly became totally Romance. Which was a little strange.

this book was okay nothing to write home about. but i did enjoy the transformation that the main character makes it was fun and it's not to long i really think alot of people will enjoy it but it's not gonna be the series that you pre-order it's more of the when you see it on the shelve you buy it on impulse because you need something to read. Oh and it was only -------- 5 BUCKS!!!!! which is really awesome
1st Book of the Series Moon Chasers makes a promising beginning to this series. You’ll find romance, thrills, sexiness and the eternal love that conquers evil. The main characters spark with the chemistry that flows between them all through the story. Claire, a mousy teacher is infected by a bite from the same student she had vowed to help, finds that Gideon, the lycan hunter will be her only help to keep her humanity. He belongs to a secret society that’s only purpose for existence for the last...more
I enjoyed reading about Claire and Gideon, and how they didn't give up on each other. The ending was meh; the usual s/he-doesn't-love-me-so-I'll-run-away-and-secretly-hope-they'll-come-after-me mentality. But this book definitely kept me engrossed. I'll be checking out the others in the series.

I was really surprised that this book was as good as it was. It didn't get the best reviews. I admit that it dragged a bit toward the middle of the book but it didn't last long.
It was entirely different from most of the werewolf books I have read. And that is what I enjoyed the most about it. It had great heat and passion between the lead characters and some angnst with some twists which made the book very enjoyable.

Anyone feel like the author was originally a fan of the Kitty Norville series and was a hardcore Cormac and Kitty fan? And that she wrote this series after getting disappointed over and over again?
Anyone?
