I ended this book positively seething. I was so mad. Not about the writing or the characters, but about the hateful council and they way they can ruin your life. The way they can control certain people, and the impossible situations others are put in because of it, fills me up with futile anger because I can't change it. I get so angry when it's a small group against a whole society. It's almost impossible to win when everyone is against you, actively or otherwise. More...

Two years ago, Derek Gabriel was attacked and stripped of his humanity. Nicky Peyton was born that way. Derek comes from a family of psychics who, besides his cousin, are all dead. Nick is the daughter of the Alpha wolf of the country and leader of his people.

I'm just wondering how wrong it is that I read this book in one three hour sitting? I really enjoy the easy way the writing reads. Fluid and well paced, the book draws you happily towards the end, to the detriment of other things in your life like getting out of bed or breakfast. Silly little things like work and life just get swept to the side!

Crossroads is the second book in the Southern Arcana series, and I have to say - my favorite so far. Crossroads focuses on Nicole Peyton and Derek Gabriel who we met in Crux. Nick is basically a shapeshifter princess who was born into the ruling family of the werewolves (her father is the Alpha) while Derek was changed two years earlier in a vicious attack. Nick ran from her life in New York City to New Orleans and ended up taking over the bar, Mahalia's, from her friend. Nick established a life

Crossroads is the second book in the Southern Arcana series by Moira Rogers. It can be read stand alone but I recommend reading Crux first simply because this is turning out to be a superb series. To miss any part of it would be a shame.

Crossroads is the second in the Southern Arcana series. It could be read as a stand-alone but you have a much better understanding of the back-story between Nicole (Nick) and Derek. Derek has longed for Nick for several years now but has never taken the chance to act on it. Once they kiss the passion explodes between them. Now with the society hunting down her twin sister Nick is risking it all to help save her and Derek refuses to let her do it alone.

Crossroads is book 2 in Moira Rogers Southern Arcana series, and I loved this book. Crossroads is a paranormal romance story centered around werewolves and people with magical abilities. As far as shifter/werewolf book series go, the Southern Arcana series is amazing. In book 2 the main heroine is Nick, the alpha’s daughter, a strong female werewolf trying to escape her birthright as the heir to the North America werewolf pack. Derek is a recently turned werewolf trying to control his inner w

This is the second book in the Southern Arcana series. Crossroads centers around Nicole Peyton, a werewolf, who were introduced to in Crux. Nick and Derek have had the hots for each other for a while but Derek, a newly turned wolf, has kept his distance. They finally give in to their mutual passion and then their world is turned upside down.

Crossroads (Southern Arcana #2)

Coming from a family with psychic gifts, Derek Gabriel was aware of but separate from the dangers of the supernatural world, until a rogue wolf shifter stripped away his humanity. The change he barely survived didn’t drive him insane, but the cultural bias against him as an inferior transformed wolf might. And it does More...

I have to start with my favorite quote - “That was making love, dirty style.” Is there any other way?

I really should write reviews at once, now I waited three days and that is not good. But I hope I can do the book justice anyway.
In this book we get more of the politics and honestly those shifter bosses are such asses. But then men in power (and women) tend to be that.

I got this book a while back after I threatened to kill the author's granny I wanted it so much. The Bree half of Moira Rogers loves her granny very much so she capitulated and sent me a copy. I had read the first in this series Crux, and loved it, so I was very excited.

In Crux the tension between these too build up and I was so curious about them both.

I may have liked this one just a teeny bit less than Crux, but it was still an absorbing read. I think I just really like Jackson's Southern boy charm.
I love that Nicky and Derek made smart decisions in no-win situations, and that they kept their heads on shoulders even while falling head-over-heels in love. I am also really enjoying how future stories are beings set up without creating endless cliff hangers. I also still think I'd enjoy getting a drink at Nicky's bar.

Derek and Nicole (Nick) have both had feelings for each other for a long time now but the time has never been right for them to act on it. Derek was turned into a werewolf after a vicious attack a couple of years ago and since then has been trying to deal with his new supernatural abilities. It hasn't been easy for him to come to terms with his inner wolf and he has always been afraid of losing control and hurting Nick. Nick's father is an Alpha and also the head of the Conclave which is basi

Oh, guys. I absolutely love this series. Love it. And every time I jump back into I'm reminded again of why it's captured me so completely. It's the perfect blend of sex, magic and mayhem. Sometimes the magic is found in the form of shapeshifters and sometimes it's found in sexy Southern gentlemen who find themselves knee deep in shapeshifter affairs, but either way it's fantastic.

I love the strong female characters that Moira Rogers writes. Nicole is definitely one of them. Even though the her sister is being hunted by the powerful conclave she refuses to just step aside or hide. As painful as it is to her she is also willing to give up her happiness and love to ensure her families safety. Very few would be willing to give up their life, freedom, happiness and future for another but Nicole didn't hesitate to give it all up for her sister. She is a character that should b

I loved the story between Nick and Derek. They had chemistry from day one and it was interesting to read about how differently their wolf selves and their human selves dealt with it. I also liked that there was the little sub-plot of Nick's sister Michelle and Luciano...maybe that will turn into another in the series.
Hope that there will be some more about Kenzie and Jackson in the next too...I loved them in the first book!

A good read, not as good as the first book however. I couldn't really connect with the couple of the book until the second half of the story. It left me a little unsatisfied, i can't really put my finger on why , although I guess if you can't relate to the characters it is going to make the book emptier. I still enjoyed the story 3 stars.
