Then I told Lon the first honest thing that came to mind.

"I've kissed an earthbound but I've never kissed a man with a mustache."

Wow! This book cast a spell on me that had me glued from the first page. Kindling The Moon was a fantastic start to a new Urban Fantasy series with plenty of romance and sexual tension to satisfy us Paranormal Romance lovers as well. This unique and imaginative world built by Jenn Bennett is so magically constructed that its like nothing I've ever read before. Arcad...more

Pretty into it DESPITE it's male lead having my least favorite descriptor of all time: blonde mustache. Whyyyyyyy. (And the insistence on calling it a mustache when more facial hair was involved on the chin too. Total record scratch every time.

I was happily surprised in how much I loved and enjoyed this book, the pace and story were very easy to follow along with a great world building and most of all LON! RAWR!

In UF you want the perfect balance in your lead, someone "not" perfect, but can kick-ass when the time comes and someone to relate to on some level, while holding and pushing the story along- Arcadia "Cady" Bell is that perfect blend. On the run and in hiding Cady has been living in hiding when her parents were accused of murder. A bar owner/bartender of a Tiki Bar that cater to the Earthbound -demons whom are part human and demon- Cady has been enjoying her life, but still worries about her parents as she herself learns to grow stronger as a mage/magician. When word comes that her parents are in more danger then before and it's up to Cady to save them and find the true killer before Cady stands in for the crime!

Cady's not perfect know it all, but she knows her magic and learns and plans ahead- but not without side effects. This was another big bonus I loved about the book, and Cady, that magic isn't used without causing some big or small side effect.

When Cady needs leads and help she turns to a Earthbound Father Callow who refers her to a strong Earthbound - Lon Butler. Lon (be still my beating heart! *swoon) comes across as one expressionless cool guy whom has a hard time talking and comes across a tad closed off, but with great humor when he opens up (but a guy described as a pirate! no-less *swoons again*) whom seems to have alot of knowledge and becomes a partner of for Cady as they try to figure out whom the killer is.

There is a big age gap between Cady and Lon (May-December, 25-42) The author pulled it off so smoothly that even the age gap while comes up between the characters, like them it's like no big deal (also perhaps after reading about Vampires and Werewolves that have even greater age gaps between years of the leads- this is small beans)when a something that could have turned into one of those big-mis I hate in books, Lon just shines bright a lot in my eyes when he takes the blame where it belongs and apologizes and again when Lon mentions a "Connection of maybe more" when Cady and him first meet (and freely admits of wanting to get into her pants) it came more across as attraction as they first grow into the relationship then just jumping into bed with one another.
And let's not forget to mention Jupe - Lon's hyper, fun, young teenager son, whom you just want to gobble up. Where Lon is cool and calm like a river. Jupe is like a fun whirlwind!

The story has an nice breezy feeling, with some big action pieces and a nice romance sub-plot that doesn't hinder the story but gives the characters a chance to grow and trust in one another as they gather bits of the puzzle. The world has lots of room to grow and learning about the mages and the types of Earthbounds and the effects of Cady's own hidden powers. There is some big twists and turns that if your paying attention can figure out pretty much wants going on, but still came off somewhat surprising in the end.

There's alot of room for this series to grow (and more Lon to love) that this book quickly became a keeper for me and a Jenn Bennett became a new author I'll be on the look-out for! (less)

I've read two books within a couple weeks of each other that I feel compelled to give 5 stars. That almost NEVER happens.

Arcadia Bell is a magician - a very powerful magician. But as her regular job, she is partial owner of a bar. She uses her potions and binding spells to break up bar fights and to keep the peace with her Earthbound demon patrons. It's a pretty nice life. She has a house, a couple of friends, a job and super wicked magic powers. She also has a very deep and dark secret she's been hiding from everyone.

When she goes to a local priest (who is also a friend) for help, she is introduced to the damn fine and sexy Lon Butler. Now, Lon has a mustache, which is not something I find hot on a man (please- no disrespect meant, it's just a personal preference) but he's sexy as sin. He's refreshingly in his early 40s, divorced and has a precocious teenaged son named Jupiter, Jupe for short. Lon is a demon expert and is enlisted to help Arcadia locate a demon to help her solve her deep, dark secret.

Lon is very reserved and introspective, but shows Arcadia he is very much interested in her. He is tight lipped, but let's his actions speak for themselves. Arcadia is just 25, so the age dilemma is dealt with in this book. The relationship between Lon and Arcadia is dynamic, as well as the relationship between Jupe and Arcadia. I could just eat Jupe up - he's a smart, hyperactive, sweet kid and his character is written very well.

I won't go more into the plot so that you are spared any spoilers. However, I will tell you that I did not want this book to end, and I am pissed I have to wait until next April to get book 2. It was an awesome read, and I can't wait to read more from author Jenn Bennett.

Two quotes I really like from this book:

(view spoiler)

"All that was left behind was a cloud of shimmering blue light that fell to the ground like the last firework on the Fourth of July."

My friend let me read an e-book advanced copy on a recent flight from London. The premise was interesting enough and I had seven hours to kill. I didn't even know if I would finish or not. But somewhere after the first few chapters I got completely sucked into this world and poof, there went my flight.

The world building is so different from all the usual urban fantasy stereotypes. Forget the detectives and paranormal hunters, forget the gun fights and half baked love triangles. There's none of that. Instead we are given Earthbound demons in human bodies who have halos. And we get bizarre occult societies. The main character Cady is a magician who owns a tiki bar and there is a cool California vibe. She's been raised by occultists who left her when she was 18 after they got accused of some nasty crimes.

The characters were **so** real. (Even the peripheral ones who barely had a speaking role were fleshed out so well) I literally could not stop thinking about them days later. The main character Cady is someone you'd want to be friends with. And her love interest Lon? Hello!! He's hot, but not in your normal paranormal hero way. He's a famous photographer but a recluse, so he's flawed and terrible with words and (spoiler alert) (view spoiler)

And then there's Jupe. I don't think I've loved a teenage character in an adult book so much. I wanted to pull him out of the book and hug him!! Some of his lines made me laugh out loud on the plane with glee. I laughed a lot while reading this book actually. It was smart and super witty.

There is a twist at the end, which I started to suspect as the book went along but the way it was handled surprised me. There's some pretty scary stuff in here. Not a lot of blood and violence though.

Best new urban fantasy I've read in a long time. Original and engrossing. I even teared up once. I didn't want it to end. When does the next one come out??

Kindling the Moon is the first book in Jenn Bennett’s Arcadia Bell series. There was a little bit of buzz surrounding this book a little while back. I saw the cover and thought “wow, stunning colors” and read the blurb. It sounded pretty interesting. So on a whim, I requested it. I was happy when the delivery man arrived at my door with it and was even more excited when I started reading it because it was a good read from the very beginning.

Arcadia is a very likable character. She is human, only ‘special’. She co-owns a bar that tends mostly to Earthbounds (demons that, you guessed it, live on Earth and who are essentially human except for their ‘knack’ – and they have halos, a pretty neat detail). She is also a magician with a strong talent for summoning the creepy demons that live on another plane. She has not had the easiest of life, being in hiding for most of it. But even with that, she does not act like a victim. I really liked that about her. She is clever, sassy and strong, but not without her vulnerabilities. She has a quick wit and a kind heart. She was a lot of fun to read and I am actually looking forward to reading more of her in future books.

Arcadia is very busy in Kindling the Moon. Not only does she have to work at her bar, but she also has to find evidence to prove her parents’ innocence, summon demons, send some imps back to where they came from, try some new spells, run away from crazy magicians and from rival magical societies, run away from crazy drunk demon freaks, get captured by crazy villains, get free from crazy villains *deep breath* and that’s not even all of it! Yup, she’s one busy gal. Oh, and she has to make out a few times with Lon. (Poor Arcadia – no, not really.)

When Arcadia is introduced to Lon, she quickly sees him as her only hope to clear her parents’ name and to achieve her goal of getting her family back and of having to stop hiding. Lon. He is described as being in his early forties with brown hair to his shoulders and a ‘pirate’ mustache and beard-line in the center of his chin (I totally pictured him as Johnny Depp with slightly lighter hair – YUM!) I liked him from the moment we meet him. Smart, sexy as hell, grounded, loyal…and an Earthbound. I won’t tell you what his knack is (you’ll have to read this book to find out) but I will tell you it adds to his and Arcadia’s relationship. It tests it and ultimately, I found, it made it stronger. It upped the amount of trust she had to give him.

I want to quickly talk about Jupe. Jupe is Lon’s thirteen year old son and he is a fun read. Always talking, really sweet and hyper to the max, he’s easy to like. Again, he adds an extra element to Arcadia and Lon’s relationship. And all of these things help make their coming-together more exciting and more believable.

The story in this book was really good. Very well told. Twists and turns you are in for a ride. It’s action but not exhausting to read action. It’s the good kind – the kind where just when you think things are figured out, you find out they aren’t and that there is another step to take care of. It never gets annoying though, it just makes it fun! And the magic in this book is cool. It’s well explained and very visually described.

Kindling the Moon is an excellent Urban Fantasy tale. A debut book that doesn’t have that ‘debut feel’. The pace is fantastic, the lead characters are charming, the villains are unexpected and cre-epy, the world is neat and the chemistry between Arcadia and Lon is off the charts! I am very excited about this series and I hope you will give this book a try. I really enjoyed it – all of it. It’s definitely worth a read.(less)

Second time's the charm!

I originally started Kindling the Moon several months ago, but only made it about 15% of the way through before setting it aside in favor of other books that stole my attention. Thankfully, I was smart enough to keep it in my TBR pile, and boy, am I glad I did, because Kindling the Moon turned out to be a thoroughly enjoyable read.

The book was a bit slow to get off the ground for me, as the stage was set and key players were introduced. It was interesting, and I liked Cady's narration, but I wasn't fully engaged. It's a common problem I have when reading books about witches - or, in Cady's case, magicians - because no two authors write magic the same, and trying to figure out how this brand of magic works in this particular novel can be distracting for me as a reader. Fortunately, in Kindling the Moon's case, the story kicked into gear at just the right time. And that, as they say, was that.

There is plenty to love about Kindling the Moon. A spunky heroine, solid world-building, near-perfect pacing, and enough nifty little plot twists to keep you on your toes. And for you readers who demand a hero worth swooning over, you can't do better than Lon Butler. (Think Johnny Depp, looking all gorgeous and scruffy. 'Nuff said!) Now put Lon and Cady together, sit back, and savor the sizzle. The chemistry between these two is palpable - and for those of you who demand more than mere sexual tension, have no fear, author Jenn Bennett will not let you down. Trust me on that.

For me, though, the best part of the whole book was the relationship between Lon, Cady, and Lon's teenage son, Jupe. Including Jupe in the story was, in my opinion, a stroke of sheer brilliance on the author's part. Unlike soap opera children, who only exist to look cute in the background, once you meet Jupe, you will not be able to imagine the story without him. He not only adds depth to Lon's character, allowing us to see Lon as more than just a love interest, but he shines the spotlight on Cady's awesomeness as well. They are, all of them, so easy together, their interactions so funny and natural....it's beautiful, that's what it is.

In short, my dears, this is a highly enjoyable book and one you should definitely check out. The only reason I docked half a star was because it took a couple of chapters for me to really get into - and that's more me than the book itself.

4.5 Stars ★★★★1/2

So why did I put off reading it? The amazon blurb for one thing – Magician (are we talking cape and rabbits in hats here?) investigates murders with sex-spell specialist? Blarg. This blurb doesn’t come close to doing the book justice. Then there’s the description of the male lead - Lon. I’m not proud to say one of my reasons for avoiding this novel was the description of his glorious mustache. For me sexy and mustache do not belong in the same sentence together. Shallow much? Maybe, but, hey one of the reasons we read urban fantasy is for the smexy men, right?

After reading this novel I now want to smack myself for waiting so long to pick it up. All those bloggers were right! It really is fantastic.

The world building is the first thing that jumped out at me. More specifically, the author put a lot of work into creating a unique magic system. Magician is such a passé moniker for the magic users of this novel. They use classic magical ritual (circles, symbols, etc) and then call on some sort of energy to “kindle” (or activate) the magic. Pretty awesome. Okay so maybe I’m the only one that really geeks out on unique magic systems, but I give Ms. Bennett an A+ for creating a feasible, creative magical system.

The story is so much better than what the blurb implies. Arcadia is a woman with a uniquely strong magical ability. She’s also a fugitive. She’s been hunted her whole life because of a nefarious series of magical murders her parents allegedly committed. She hasn’t used her real name in years, and no one, not even her closest friends, knows her history. But the darkness of her past can’t remain hidden forever. Her world is turned upside down when a news broadcast reveals her parents have emerged from hiding, and returned to the states. The hunters seeking them begin swarming, and Arcadia must begin unraveling the secrets of her parent’s past, in order to protect them from their enemies. With the clock ticking, she has to find the real villain behind the brutal occult murders that occurred years before.

This novel reads like a classic murder mystery, with serious paranormal elements. It’s not predictable (thank goodness), and the end leaves you satisfied (no cliffhangers here).

The characters – ah yes – the most important thing to me. Arcadia is exceedingly likeable. She’s strong, smart, independent, and loyal. She thankfully avoids ALL of the annoying urban fantasy chic stereo types. She engages her brain before taking action. She doesn’t mouth off foolishly to powerful strangers. She’s not overbearing, whiney, excessively stubborn, stupidly brave, yadda yadda. Basically she avoided annoying me in any way. She’s also not perfect though – she has serious trust issues – but this makes her more real, and easier to identify with.

And yes, this book has romance aplenty. Mustache romance! Now, if you are like me you are probably cringing at the thought, but as another reviewer kindly pointed out – try to picture Captain Jack Sparrow’s facial hair, and you’ll get over your dislike fast. Pirates are sexy, right (especially when they look like Johnny Depp)? Well, Lon definitely is. He’s exactly the kind of romance lead I look for in fiction. He’s enigmatic, secretive, and powerful. A man with a dark past. He doesn’t fall all over himself over Arcadia – their romance takes a while to unfold, but the suspense just makes it all the more delicious.

Kindling the Moon is a magnificent addition to the urban fantasy genre. It hit all the right points for me. Likeable, non-annoying characters? Check. Amazing sexy romance that makes me swoon like a teenage girl? Check. Interesting world building, and engaging, non-predictable plot? Also checks. If you are on the fence about reading this book for any reason, I strongly encourage you to hop right off and pick it up. It’s well worth the read.(less)

I honestly didn't really know what to expect, but for one thing I did not expect to immediately fall in love with the pure brilliance of it. This was an excellent start to a series and what a surprising ending that was.

Arcadia Bell was a heroine that I loved from the get go. Cady was very likable and funny at times. And she's one of those girls that you would love to have a girls night out with. Cady is most definitely fun and loving. And with a great heroine comes a great love interest.

“Maybe it involved a woman. Oh, maybe even a nun—ooh! Wouldn’t that be scandalous?” “Indeed, but no."

Did I mention I am in love with her love interest? Lon Butler is Cady's love interest in KINDLING THE MOON and he had the ever so mysterious vibe going on for him. Did I also mention I love his name?! It even sounds hot! Lon also has a teenage son, Jupe sort for Jupiter. (Okay, Bennett is a goddess at the naming process. I love all of these names so far.)

"Arcadia,” Lon’s voice said from my phone. “Who is this?” I teased. “You can’t take my son on a date.” “I didn’t ask him. He asked me.” “He stole my cell and called without permission.” “Sounds like a personal problem to me.” A low growling noise came out of the phone."

Anyway, I love Jupe, he is as funny as Cady is. Jupe may be a huge reason why I love the series. Most authors won't write in either of the two main characters having a son and I loved that Bennett did it. She made it work and it made the book even better.

I loved the plot one hundred percent. I loved by reading the synopsis that I still had no idea what this book was about. Look forward to demons and magic users on a whole new level. You will be wicked surprised when you open this book and the ending will shock you out of your socks. I really am looking forward for what is in store for Cady next.

"He gathered me closer, kissed my neck, then spoke in a low voice next to my ear. “I figure, see, if you find yourself getting more attached to the two of us than you planned, maybe you won’t think about picking up and leaving to start another life somewhere else.”

They faked their deaths and Cady’s, and the family went into hiding: the parents together, Cady separately. Now, Cady co-owns and tends bar at the Tambuku Tiki Lounge, which caters to both human and demon patrons. Then, when the media discovers her parents are still alive, the rival magical lodge Luxe demands that either they or Cady pay the price for the murders. Cady sets out to prove her parents’ innocence instead. But to do that, she’ll need to learn the identity of the one witness who knows the truth — a powerful Aethyric demon — and summon it to give an account of what really happened.

Jenn Bennett lays out a fascinating paranormal world in Kindling the Moon. It’s based in large part on ceremonial magic and on medieval demonology. There are several types of demons: imps, who can pass freely between worlds and wreak minor havoc; Earthbound, who live in human bodies and pass as human (these are the ones who frequent Cady’s bar); and Aethyric demons, who live on another plane and are summoned, controlled, and banished by human magicians. Cady is a rogue and an oddity in this world, mixing magical styles in a way that no one quite approves of.

To me, one of the most important aspects of urban fantasy is characterization. The series I follow religiously are usually the ones where I want to spend as much time with the characters as possible! Bennett succeeds wildly in that regard. Cady is a relatable character with a good mix of toughness and vulnerability. She has to deal with some heartbreaking situations in this story and it’s easy to sympathize with her. Her love interest, Lon Butler, is enigmatic and standoffish at first, and acts like a jerk sometimes, but is likable at his core. Lon’s teenage son is simply adorable. And the three of them in the same room together have a great dynamic with lots of warmth and humor. The secondary characters are interesting too, especially a young female adversary of Cady’s who I suspect we’ll be seeing more of.

As for the plot, it’s an exciting one with some twists, though I wish there had been more emphasis on sleuthing. Most of Cady’s information comes either from Lon’s connections or through magic. This works fine, but there’s one scene where Cady masquerades as a reporter to question two occultists who knew her parents, and I enjoyed that scene and wished there were more like it.

I really liked Kindling the Moon and look forward to spending more time with Cady and friends. Book two, Summoning the Night, is scheduled for release in April 2012. Oh, and I looked up that name the demons call Cady — and let’s just say there’s a lot of interesting potential there…

Sometimes you should judge a book by its cover!

Arcadia "Cady" Bell is a free spirited young woman and who has been living under a different identity for seven years, starting a new life as a bar owner/bartender for a "demon friendly" establishment for Earthbounds (demons who are mostly human living on Earth). Arcadia is a powerful magician or mage, who has yet to realize the extent of her powers. When her past comes back to haunt her in the form of video footage of her "fugitive" parents, Arcadia must make things right by proving their innocence or surrendering herself to a terrible fate. To find the demon witness needed to clear her family's name, Cady enlists the help of her friend Father Carrow, who then introduces her to Lon Butler, a demonologist with a vast knowledge of demons and a few secret abilities of his own. With a short deadline, Arcadia will have to trust Lon with her secrets in order to save her parents...and herself.

This is without a doubt the most impressive urban fantasy debut I've read this year! It's the perfect blend of intriguing characters, action, suspense and a dash of sexy romance. The setting of sunny California is far from the dark cities we usually see in this genre and lends a lighter feel to the story. The heroine and hero are not your usual alpa heroes and their romance is just as unconventional, but somehow works. The characters feel very real, are well developed and definitely entertain. The world building is fabulous and the author introduces you to her world and its details without overwhelming. I found the story unfolding as a film in my mind with rich details, compliments of Ms. Bennett's colorful writing.

Arcadia Bell quickly made it to the top of my favorite heroine's list. She might be a magician (I know it sounds funny but she doesn't pull rabbits out of a hat!) but she's pretty well grounded; she's smart, down to earth, knows her strengths and weaknesses and has a great sense of humor. Arcadia might not be the warrior type but she can defend and take care of herself when the occasion arises. Her sharp tongue and kind heart will have you under her spell instantly.

Lon Butler is a pleasant surprise as the hero. He's about twenty years older than Arcadia, has a teenage son, but still has plenty of sex appeal. I immediately thought of Matthew McConaughey when Arcadia first describes him! Lon is incredibly intelligent, experienced and is also an Earthbound. With abilities of his own, Lon is the perfect compliment for Arcadia. He's quite the gentleman, not your possessive hero and has a close knit bond with his son Jupe that will completely melt your heart! Jupe is a great addition to the story line and one character you're not likely to forget.

The relationship between Arcadia and Lon is not instantaneous and is constantly evolving into something deeper. They have some sultry scenes together but the tender moments between them in the midst of all the danger are what really defines their romance. As the story develops, our main characters begin to slowly drop their guard with each other and open up to share secrets that will ultimately make their bond stronger. I was expecting the author to keep the sexual tension going well into the next book but was so thankful she put it to rest and indulged the readers with a little nooky between the characters...urban fantasy loves to tease!!

Kindling the Moon is a flawlessly original urban fantasy. The writing is excellent, the characters are charming, the romance is truly believable and they're even a few unpredictable twists. If you're looking for a fresh take on a genre that can sometimes seem repetitious...this book's for you. Jenn Bennett has created an enchanting world of magic that will rock your world!

Unlike so many others, it is competently written, has an original setup, and has a daring romance.

The heroine, Cady, is a magician and her magic is both ritual and personal. "Doing" magic is a matter of capturing energy, "kindling" it as a channeling act of will, and then releasing it into the proper sigil or sign, sometimes with an accompanying incantation. She has a small group of sigils embedded in her arm that she can do in a pinch, though they are draining to maintain, but other things she has to prepare in advance. This makes for a much more deliberate approach to obstacles than you typically get with this genre.

More interesting than the magic, though, was the introduction of Lon into her life. He's something of a recluse but she needs him as a subject-matter expert for plot-heavy reasons. He's off-putting and untrusting and near 20 years her senior. Despite their differences, what with him being Earthbound and all (a part-demon rather than magician or vanilla human), there's some real chemistry between them. Jenn Bennett confronts the age difference head-on with both characters aware of the gulf in their ages and explicitly concerned with how it will affect their being together. It helps that Cady is mature for her age. She's an owner of a successful bar and has been on her own for years. As well, we can see that Lon has taken his time maturing into the solid citizen he is today. The combination of the two makes their relationship much more equal than it might otherwise be and one I was willing to go along with.

One consequence of Lon's meandering path to maturity is his son, Jupiter (Jupe for short). Unlike many dependents in UF, Jupe's presence in the book isn't annoying or cloying and he never feels like he's been created as an author tool to move the main characters around. He's his own, well-defined character, and a charming one at that. Bennett deserves real kudos for keeping him within the range of "normal" thirteen year-old without making us want to stuff him in a plastic bag, somewhere. Cady's relationship with Jupe extends and enhances her relationship with Lon even as it presents challenges as well.

The plot of the book was kind of obvious in retrospect, but since it fits neatly into one of my consistent blind-spots I didn't notice. That might ruin it for some, but I wasn't really that attached to the plot, anyway—i.e. even if I'd noticed, I doubt it would have made a difference in my enjoyment of the story. Personally, I was much more interested in Lon and Cady and their coming together.

So it's a good book, well written. Not top-shelf, but a fun read and I'll definitely keep an eye out for the sequel (due out later this month).(less)

This is the first installment in the 'Arcadia Bell' series by Jenn Bennett and what a book it was!
I was bored and happened to stumble upon this novel a few days ago. Once I opened it, I was hooked.

Arcadia (Cady) is a magician with a past. She's the daughter of the notorious eledged serial killers, Enola and Alexander Duval and has been hiding out for seven years to forget her past life.
But the past always come back. And this time it's back to bite her in the a**.

Your perfect cup of coffee comes and it smells heavenly but after the first sip, you realize it's not what it seems. What's this you're feeling? That's right, frustration. It could have been good.

That's right. I was so frustrated out of my mind. The premise started out fine, it was nice seeing the female lead tend a bar and go head to head with angry patrons. Everything was nice and dandy until about half of the book.

Arcadia started off strong and independent with a mind of her own. Up till the point where Lon came along and basically solves the whole case for her. If Arcadia gets into trouble, Lon is there to save her. Arcadia needs answers? No problem, Lon has an abundant amount of contacts and resources she can use. The fact is, Lon basically spoon-feeds her throughout the whole book. Even without Lon, Arcadia seems to get answers too easily. The author was unable to convey the stress and urgency of the situation since Arcadia simply gets handed everything.

The mystery of the story wasn't the main focus, instead, the novel felt like it revolved around Arcadia and Lon's relationship, which is not a bad thing. What was bad is the ending of the book, which basically summarized all the answers into one chapter. Woo-hoo 'big reveal' wasn't so spectacular after all.

I liked Arcadia's powers and the world building of Earthbound and Aethyric demons but one thing that bugged me was that an 'age gap' was an emphasis in this novel. Lon is in his early forties and has a mustache. That's right, a mustache. Let's make it a point in saying that even in YA novels, some female characters fall in love with supernaturals that are hundreds or thousands of years old so forgive me if I don't comprehend the big deal about Lon being in his forties.

Let's not forget that Lon also mentions knowing Arcadia could be more than a friend straight off the bat. That just completely threw me off. Here I was, thinking their relationship was built up with a decent pace and boom, he just burst my whole bubble.

A plus point is Bennett's writing. It was easy to breeze through without being too casual with a sense of contemporary eloquence. It wasn't dry and in fact, was rather entertaining.

Jupe was also a darling in the book. His energy bounces off the wall and it really transcended past any other character's. He is also mature and eager to help (or meddle) and just a sweet kid.

Overall, a book that I had high hopes for but unfortunately failed to deliver although if you are looking for a Paranormal Romance with pretty hot scenes, look to this. (less)

When you finish a book and not an hour passes before you start wondering what's going to happen to the characters next, and you begin wondering if it's too soon to re-read the book in question, you know the book was great. Without question Jenn Bennett's Kindling the Moon did this to me. I finished the book, and less than 15 minutes later I'm buggin a friend with questions of "what's next" and "do you think...". Jenn Bennett creates a world that is interesting and all its own, even though demons and magicians are regulars on the fantasy circuit. Her characters are crafted with precision, and the writing is so good that readers wont be able to stop themselves from becoming invested in the story.

I still can't get over how grounded the characters are. Every one of them is a three dimensional slice of perfection. From Arcadia Bell the occult raised magician turned bar owner, who's been on the lamb because of a crime her parents were accused of. To Lon Butler, demon slash artifact collector slash dad slash famous photographer. To Lon's 13 year old son Jupe, who's part motormouth part coolest kid on the planet. Each of their conversations, reactions, and interactions with each other are so realistic you genuinely feel like a fly on the wall of real events.

Additionally, each character breaks the mold of a typical UF character, and the story is better for it. Arcadia is strong willed but not a complete bad ass, just because she's the protagonists. She's awkward at times, and has an underlying tone of sadness to her. She takes charge of her life, but isn't all together self confident, which is exactly right for her in my opinion. Lon may be pretty damn dreamy, but it has more to do with his actions and less to do with his silky hair and storm-colored eyes. He shows up. Every time. And what could be sexier than that.

Speaking of sexy. I'm still surprised by how effected I was by the romance bits in the story. The build is absolutely delicious, but this is not erotica, it's not suppose to be. And actually the few sprinkles of smexy are rather tame. But the actions and reactions are so spot on to real that it felt like I had accidentally stumbled upon someone's home video. In a very non-creepy kind of way. It made me think I could read about the couple forever and never tire of them.

The plot runs fast, and I read the entire book in nearly one sitting. It wouldn't let go of me... even after I finished it. The plot is full of adventure and surprises, even if just a touch predictable at times. The twists on demonology were unique and very interesting, and it'll be hard for me to think of demons any other way now.

Bottom Line: One of the best series openers I've read in 2011. Urban Fantasy fans will love the cast, the world, and the possibility of a new long running series.(less)

I won a copy of this book in a blog giveaway so it wasn’t originally on my wishlist but I’m glad that it ended up in my TBR pile. At first the story reminded me of Linda Wisdom’s Demons series but not for long. Kindling the Moon branches out and does its own thing which results in a plot line that doesn’t quit, charismatic characters and an out of left field ending. And, Jenn Bennett is just getting warmed up! The first installment of a series is always tricky business but Kindling the Moon is no shrinking violet; this book leaves sweltering squelch marks on the Urban Fantasy scene and makes the next novel an automatic must read.

I’m calling it! Arcadia Bell is my new BFF. I immediately connected with her character and pictured how much fun it would be to hang out with her on girl’s night. Her life is such a mess and getting more disastrous by the second but her “glass half full” attitude keeps her going. Cady’s sense of humor and can-do mentality save her on multiple occasions from her seemingly dire circumstances. She also lightens up Lon’s darker, more pessimistic personality. It’s apparent early on that the demonologist is something “other”. I thought that Bennett did a great job of conveying that tidbit. Butler’s definitely smexy but his thought process and mannerisms are off which only adds to his charm. Cady and Lon are both black sheep in their respective lives and I enjoyed watching their relationship grow. There’s some booty action so don’t worry, you’ll get your naughty fix with this book.

Jupe was an unexpected character and I was surprised by how much he added to the story. He’s just a kid so let’s be honest, I don’t read UF to get a dose of the younger generation’s point of view. However, in this case I found that he helped bridge the gap between the two love birds and added a third perspective that turned out to be very entertaining.

The story itself is a rush. It’s a battle against time and destiny with one major obstacle in the way: demons. Well, them and insane magicians but I don’t want to get into that. For the most part, the outcome seemed obvious. My expectations were set; I didn’t know exactly how it was all going to end but I had a pretty good idea. That is up until Jenn went and pulled the rug out from under my feet and does the unexpected. I did NOT see that one coming. Poor Cady! The twist at the end is brilliant!

For a book that didn’t even make it on my wishlist the first time around; I’m shocked and amazed by how much I enjoyed it! Kindling the Moon is deliciously mischievous in a wolf in sheep’s clothing kind of way. Summoning the Night will be an automatic buy in April 2012 for me.

So much, in fact, that I’m somewhat lamenting I found it right away after it was released instead of discovering the series a few years from now when I would have four or five books to devour in one go. The world managed to put a slightly different twist on elements that we’ve seen in multiple novels such as mages and demons, giving them a refreshing take that makes them seem shiny and new. Additionally, the background story works great with the world, both of which build steadily to draw the reader in.

Arcadia, Cady, Bell is part-owner in a Tiki Bar, a mage who’s not afraid to use her magic but would rather avoid it, and has been in hiding since her parents were suspects in a high profile murder within the magic community. Cady is definitely my favorite type of heroine; you get to see the realistic everyday side of her and, even though she’ll end up kicking ass with her magic, she’s grounded and doesn’t immediately fall back on that crutch to fix everything.

We start the novel with the fact that Cady has two weeks to live unless she finds her parents and brings them in for justice or manages to prove that they didn’t commit the murder of a high profile mage of a rival group. Pressure, much? Arcadia can obviously use as much help as she can get in this endeavor which brings us to Lon, our resident demon and male lead.

Initially, I was put off by Lon. He came across as cool and closed off but then he manages to sneakily wriggle his way into your heart. I felt that he wasn’t your typical UF male lead and, if anything, that made me appreciate him more. Part of that is the fact that he’s older than Cady by about twenty years. This could be an issue for some readers, but I felt Bennett made it work. It worked perhaps even better than the 100+ year gaps you tend to see in vampire novels because he doesn’t use his age to make it seem like he knows better.

I especially have to give Bennett major kudos because she used the maturity of her male lead character to avoid typical romance pitfalls that authors have a tendency to use on the way to a romantic pairing. One that jumps to the front of the pack is the misunderstanding by both characters, then both characters refusing to acknowledge it, instead letting the issue simmer and resentment build until you get your explosion. Bennett avoids this, instead having Lon step up, take responsibility, and get him on the same page as Cady. It’s something I’ve wanted to see in the progression of a romantic pairing for years and I was ecstatic when it actually happened.

Once Lon becomes a more integrated part of the story, we are then introduced to Jupe, Lon’s son. And I thought, ‘here we go, this is what is going to destroy this book for me.’ Honestly, I’ve had a hard time not getting annoyed by kids in books; the authors seem to have a tendency going overboard on their dialogue, trying to make it too cutesy to justify the presence of a child in the novel.Needless to say, I was pleasantly surprised when I found I not only liked Jupe, I looked actually looked forward to his scenes. Bennett does a great job making him a realistic child, cuteness, faults, and all, without making him a drag on the progression of the novel.(less)

This was an interesting take on magic and demons. I liked the fact that there was a teenage boy in the story and he didn't get ignored. He had a nice role to go along with his demon father, Lon, and the heroine, Cady. There were plenty of "old folk" jokes that made me laugh since Lon is in his early 40s and Cady is 24. The flow of the story was at a good pace and I was never bored. I will definitely read the next book.
