The Cursed Satyroi #2

Under the Satyr Moon

Rate this book
Under the Satyr Moon a curse was wrought, and under the same moon shall it be reversed...
...if the Fates allow.

A freelance photography job goes downhill fast when Lily Anders' boyfriend dumps her and disappears from the campsite, leaving her stranded in the middle of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Feeling lost, heartbroken, and afraid, Lily follows a mysterious melody through the wilderness. She never would have guessed the source of the music would reveal that legendary figures of Greek mythology really existed, and she could be one of them.

Ever since he was cursed, Ariston has only wanted one thing—to be human again. He has searched the globe for a nymph to free him, but over three thousand years of failure has pushed him into a life of solitude. Ariston believes he's finally found the salvation he's longed for when he finds Lily spying on him in the forest. Unfortunately, he has to convince her to like him first.

What seems to be the Fates bringing them together in time for the Satyr Moon proves to be an elaborate scheme with macabre intentions. Dionysus has sent Ariston's estranged brother, Adonis, to ensure the curse cannot be broken, and nothing tosses cold water over the flame of seduction like a twin seeking vengeance.

Under the Satyr Moon is the second book in ‘The Cursed Satyroi’ series and this time around it’s Ariston that gets his chance at redemption.
We meet Lily Anders when she is at her lowest, on a freelance photography job that has took her out into the Blue Ridge Mountains with her boyfriend Donovan – little does she know but Donovan is about to dump her not only from his life but leaving her alone in the wilderness too. Needing to find civilisation and a chance to get home, Lily starts her trek through the forest…. Until she hears a tune, a strange melody that calls to her… so she follows and comes upon a man - a goat man?!?- indulging in an encounter with a woman. Feeling embarrassed and voyeuristic she goes to leave, makes a noise and he sees her, is fascinated by her and follows her which then becomes a kidnap situation.
Ariston is cursed as a Satyr, cursed to live the life of a half man/ half goat, complete with horns and an insatiable sexual appetite. He has lived this way for centuries, hiding up on the mountain, tempting campers to sate his needs and making them forget afterwards. The only thing that could save his sorry ass is to find a Nymph and make love to her ‘under the Satyr moon’ and he has long given up hope of finding one especially when they are invisible to his kind but the woman who had been spying on him in the woods, she was the first Nymph he’d seen since Daphne – a nymph who had shared her glimpse of his fate with him – and he wondered if he was finally getting his shot. Lily of course was not happy with this situation and in trying to escape, makes a few friends along the way but as always, with friends always comes enemies and whilst some would be overjoyed to see Ariston’s curse lifted, some would us the chance as an opportunity to break him. Will Lily get to know Ariston and help him regain his humanity? Can Ariston keep his hands to himself and wait for the Satyr Moon? Will it really lift the curse?
This was another enjoyable read in this series and I really enjoy the world the author has created. I loved both our main characters; Lily was awesome and had a great personality paired with a great sense of humour and I liked seeing her blossom from the broken hearted girl in the beginning into a stubborn woman, willing to take on a Satyr. Ariston too was a great character and like Lily had the good personality/good humour going on plus there is the innuendos that would come with having an insatiable sexual appetite which are always fun. He too blossomed from a forlorn Satyr who had lost hope of ever having any love or happiness in his life, resigned to his fate but that all changed with the arrival of Lily and the renewal of his hope. Both together made a really good couple who gelled well and had lots of sexual chemistry that created some very hot moments filled with tension as they try to keep their hands off each other until the time was right.
The storyline was a good progression from book one and even though it has moved on to another couple, we still get a cameo from Pan and Kat which keeps us informed what has happened to them since they got together. Whilst most of the story is devoted to Ariston & Lily’s relationship and will they/won’t they break the curse, Dionysus is still meddling and is still trying to get his hands the ‘sryinx’ and is again using his Boeotian satyrs to do his bidding in the worst way, especially as he pits Ariston against his twin brother Adonis in this, using their hatred of each other to his advantage but as I said – Lily & Ariston have made friends along the way and just as Dionysus is meddling, so are the friends because they really want this for them and they all brought about some comedic moments that include a c*ck blocking horse & lightning bolts. The secondary characters are just as important in this story and from both sides, Hermes is back and hilarious, this time bringing Pegasus who is just as much fun (even if he can’t speak) plus we see a different side to a couple of Boeotian satyrs and see that being at Dionysus’s beck and call is not helping these men. We get a glimpse into Adonis’s life and also Melancton’s which actually leaves me really wanting his story, it will be good to see things from the other sides POV and seeing how they can get their own redemption – will it mean turning from Dionysus’s path and turning to Pan’s? who knows but I’m very curious. So, if you’re looking for a nice romantic tale of mythology, hot Satyr men, naughty nymphs in the making, danger, misdirection & jealousy, filled with humour and sexual tension that can smoulder from the pages all leading up to one make or break moment giving our H &h a possible happy ever after….. look no further.

Satyrs, men with hooves and horns and a craving for sex that never eases....

Ariston has lived a long time in his cursed body, in daytime he can use glamour to appear human but at sundown it does not work, so Ariston chooses to live in a forest, it works well for him as he can use his magic to woo women campers, which eases his lust!

Lily was camping with her boyfriend when he suddenly broke up with her and left her in the forest, hurt and a little scared she fights on. When Ariston uses his magic to lure a women to him, she's intrigued and follows the sound, she's shocked by what she see's.

Ariston has no choice but to catch up with lily, she's seen him in his true colours and that can't happen. Lily isn't happy that Ariston wants to get to know her more, especially his way of making that happen! These two literally spark off each, they're both so fiery, the banter is fabulous let alone the sexual tension.

I really enjoyed Lily and Ariston's story, it packs a punch, there's mythology, intrigue, a real interesting mix of characters, comedy, sizzling sexual tension, some angst and a storyline that you don't know where it will go!!

Favourite characther...... Too difficult, obviously loved our main couple, but Hermes was great and obviously his side kick Pegasus.

If you like mythology, I'm not sure how accurate this is. There are lots of mythological side characthers, you may have to stop occasionally to think how do they fit in to the equation... Generally though it's an easy to follow paranormal romance read.

Building a mythology all its own, Under the Satyr Moon expands on the story of men and Gods of ancient Greece fighting against a curse that transformed them into immortal satyrs. I really liked how this book built upon all of the ideas introduced in the first story. It gives us a hero who has had the pain of forced isolation but also an estrangement from the only family he has left after centuries alone. Ariston makes mistakes and has his Alpha moments, but I loved how he gains back his humanity well before he can think about doing it the magical way. Another thing I liked about the story was how Lily’s eyes are opened to so much more than just the existence of satyrs and how she comes to accept just how important one woman can become. Revisits from Pan, Kat, Hermes and the big baddie Dionysus create a great sense of world-building and I appreciated the open-ending for two other satyrs (with the hope they both get their stories told).

I received "Under the Satyr Moon" by Rebekah Lewis originally as an advance review copy from Novel Reviewers however, I loved this novel so much I bought it anyways in the Volume One Collection. Once again Rebekah has taken her readers on an adventure with gods, satyrs and nymphs in the modern day world. It's said that everyone longs for something, they want something with every fiber of their being and ladies and gents gods are no exception. "Under the Satyr Moon" takes place not long after the first novel so we get to see all of our favorite characters make an entrance here as well. Our new female lead Lily is vibrant, spunky and some could say a bit damaged. We are introduced to Ariston and his beautifully blonde framed face and washboard abs as more of the past is revealed from his perspective. Of course we cannot forget Hermes and his "God of Awesomeness" point of view and this time he has backup in the form of Pegasus, yes The Pegasus. I just couldn't get enough of these spontaneous and hilarious situations they seem to get themselves into. Readers be ready for an adventure and maybe shed a tear but do we cry in sadness or happiness? Well you'll just have to get your own copy and decide for yourself!

I loved this book so much that I immediately wanted to read it again after I finished. The story-line evolves into something more complex and sinister from the first installment in the series. The characters and plot seemingly gain more depth. The chemistry between the primary characters is just as explosive as it is in book 1, only there is so much more on the line and things could go devastatingly wrong. The plot twists are a nice touch and on a side note, I adore Hermes! He's hilarious!
 I have a new author to follow and I honestly cannot get enough of these books. 5 stars!

I received this audiobook free from the author under "Free Audiobooks for Review" for an honest review. It was nice remembering Greek mythology this story brings to life. The human photographer, lost in the woods when her boyfriend abandons her, comes across a creature that brings out the mystical powers she didn't know existed. This is a great book about a human and a creature with a quest to set the mythical creature free from a curse he has been living with for thousands of years. The author does a great job with the characters in this paranormal story. A story you can't put down. The narrator did a good job with the characters of this story.

Satyrs, nymphs and gods! Add in Pegasus and how could you not want to read it?
This is Ariston and Lily's story but we do get a visit from characters in the previous book.
Hermes and Pegasus will have you laughing.

This story picks up not long after the first book of The Cursed Satyori series (Wicked Satyr Nights). The God Dionysus is still on the hunt for the magical syrinx he believes is in possession of one of the Arcadian satyrs. Dionysus turns his attention to Ariston who was close to Pan after the satyr curse began, and brother to the Adonis. Adonis is a Boeotian satyr, meaning he is loyal to Dionysus. Dionysus plays upon Adonis’ misplaced anger towards his brother Ariston to put in play a plan to find the syrinx (and screw with Ariston).

This plan involves Lily Anders. She is unknowingly a nymph, and is “conveniently” placed into the very forests where Ariston now lives and is left there under bad circumstances. Lily happens upon Ariston after hearing his syrinx song and presents herself to him. Ariston picks up on Lily’s “nymph-like” qualities, and immediately makes a play to keep her until the Satyr moon occurs to break his curse and become human again. But first he has to convince his nymph to stay and help him in his pursuit to become a mortal man while also resisting the lust growing more and more each day between them. And of course… things don’t go as he originally planned, and hilarity ensues... Hilarity, frustration, humor, romance, forgiveness, and understanding are what we find throughout the story. And it is wonderful!

As I’ve said in my review of the first book, I enjoy the twist on the Greek mythology and paranormal romance. Ariston is hilarious (and swoon-worthy) in my opinion; a very noble man with good intentions, but somewhat clueless as to how to interact with modern women. And Lily was just as equally a strong match for him, even in the vulnerable state we find her in when the story begins. It was great seeing them come together and understand what their feelings are for each other. We get to see more of Pan and Kat in this story (yay!), along with Hermes (are all Greek gods immature teenagers?) and Melancton (what is up with this mystery man? : ). Like the end of “Wicked”, we get a satisfying conclusion, and a taste of what’s next to come in the series. I would recommend going to the author’s website to ensure you’re reading each story in the right order (http://rebekah-lewis.com/).

Again, I would recommend this book to readers who love paranormal romance, but is looking for an original story and interesting twist on the genre, as well as for readers of mythology. Despite another kidnapping in this story (although I understand why that’s the go to move), and a few minor grammar/punctuation errors, this book is a solid 4.5 stars. Bumping it up to a 5 just because I love the series so far.

Loving this series!
Ariston's only way to break his curse is to find a nymph who will willingly lay with him under the satyr moon. Many many years have gone by and having to find some women here and there to slack his lust. He has all but given for finding one. Until she steps on a stick while watching him trying to have his way with a blond woman.... Now that she has shown herself to him will he let her go or will he throw her over his shoulder and take her away....
Lily is a freelance photographer, who decides to go on a camping trip. Unknown to her she is being watched on all sides good and evil whether she likes it or not. The blood running inside her veins makes her valuable to both sides of the satyrs and makers to the big guy above. So what happens when she happenings upon a beast like man in the middle of the woods? Will she flee or will she over come her fear and see him in a different light?

Was a unique story with a different type of immortal, from Greek mythology, Satyr(s). It's not your typical popular romance with werewolves and vampires. Now don't get me wrong I really love those books, and they're one of my favorite genres, but it was nice to read a story about satyrs. I didn't think they could be sexy, but I was proven wrong. I haven't read the first book in the series, and I wasn't lost or anything. I still got into it, still want to read the first one, and I want to read any others that come out in this series. It's an entertaining read that has romance with some spice. Definitely on my like list.

He found her

She is suppose to break his curse. She is suppose to be his. He wants her to do everything promised and so much more, the problem is she's stubborn, oh and she hates him with a passion. She's heartbroken and now been kidnapped by a man with hooves, and horns. Could life get any worse? Of course it can. She's the only way he can break his curse, and what he needs her to do just won't be happening if she has anything to say about it. Follow this awesome heart felt make you fall off your chair laughing story to find out if and how the curse with be broken, and if an HEA is in the stars for this two stubborn lovebirds.

SCORE ONE FOR THE SATYRS!!! Take that Dionysus you prick! Bwahahaha!! I haven't laughed so much in awhile. Ariston and Lily are great then you add Pan, Hermes, Zeus, and Pegasus into the mix and it's a riot! There are some serious parts, but those are out weighed by the antics of everyone. Adonis is such a blind fool, he so got what was coming to him. I feel so bad for everything Ariston has been thanks to him. I am sooo glad Ariston found happiness, love, and a place to belong with Lily. I can't wait to see if Melancton gives Apollo what's coming to him. Him and Dionysus are such children and not in a good way.

I really enjoyed this book and have fallen for this series. I never thought I would enjoy a series written about men with horns and hooves as the lead male characters and find them sexy but damn! These guys make you forget all about that! The characters are so well written, the story line very well done. Makes you want to know everything that happens to all the characters involved in the Satyroi curse. Can't wait for the next installment!

After reading this wonderful book, I can't wait to read more! Satyrs, nymphs, an evil twin and some hilarious Greek gods made this book a great read.
When a satyr kidnaps a nymph, the antics just don't stop. Even to the point of a pegasus acting like a guard dog.
