After fighting the fight of their life and outing all the supernatural creatures, the battle is still not over for Chris and Cosette. Cosette is required to return to Lunar Fey court and take her place as princess, leaving Chris and all their unspoken feelings behind. But Chris is not ready to say goodbye, and he knows that Cosette is in danger, a danger he wants to protect her from. But what Chris doesn't know is that Fey is even more dangerous than he anticipated and both Cosette and he and just pawns in someone else's game.

Aileen is queen of the heart-wrenching story! Every book of her's that I have read usually makes me feel like I need to curl up and cry and one point or another during the story, but I think Lunar Court takes the win- there were so many times I felt like I needed to hug the book, be it present time or during the flashbacks. This is the perfect example of Star-crossed lovers, move over Romeo and Juliet, Cosette and Chris are here now. Gawd, poor freaking Chris! I loved getting to really meet Chris here even though his back story was the most depressing, it helped to make me really connect to him and appreciate him so fully. The fact he can be cheerful and positive even after all he went through was remarkable and made him that much more endearing to me- I can see why Cosette loves him.

I was pretty sure he loved me back, and I wasn’t sure if that made things better, but it definitely made them harder.

I have always been intrigued by Cosette and her role in this world, how she just seems to pop up at all the right times but was never really part of the group. I feel like I really understand her now, know her motivations and the hard choices she has had to make over the centuries of her life. And can I just mention how it is awesome that she was the Knight in Shining armor to Chris all those years prior? Oh and Van is pretty interesting, I would not mind him getting his own book sometime... (hint hint)

This was another stellar installment in the Alpha Girl series. I started the series years ago because I am always on the look out for new werewolf books, but I stayed because I love the characters that Aileen has created and how detailed and complicated the world is. I can easily say that this is one of my favorite Urban Fantasy series and I highly recommend it to anyone who is looking for dangerous paranormal situations, court intrigue, conniving fey, with all kinds of supernatural creatures- and a nice dollop of romance. I can't wait for the next book now!

I requested this e-arc being unaware that Lunar Court was actually a part of the Alpha Girl series; the number eight installment to be exact. I was lucky enough the book could be read as a standalone without making me feel lost or overwhelmed by the events that took place in its predecessors.

I was lucky enough the book could be read as a standalone without making me feel lost or overwhelmed by the events that took place in its predecessors.

The story follows our two main characters, Christopher and Cosette. Christopher is a werewolf with a childhood full of violence that still haunts him. Cosette is the fey who saved his life many years ago. She had survived numerous assassination attempts as a child and knows how it is to live a dangerous life. As time passes, the two of them become friends trying to heal each other, having this deep understanding of who the other truly is. When the first seeds of love begin to spawn, they know they can’t be together. Cosette is the princess of Lunar Court and must return back to her world due to her mother’s wishes. The Lunar court can control the Moon and werewolves are tied to it. As a result, they are as good as slaves there, so Christopher being at her side in the fey world is out of the question. The story takes up from here and progresses.

Lunar Court has one of my favorite tropes: two lovers who can’t be together because of obstacles difficult to overcome. I will start with the best element of the book and proceed with what didn’t work for me.

The characters were really well fleshed out and their personalities were shining through the story. From this double POV we got to know the fierce warrior, Cosette, with her hard exterior but soft heart and the funny sweet Christopher with his troubled–but still–optimistic soul. The passages of Christopher contained some cursing that enhanced his casualness and friendly personality while Cosette’s were more emotional and full of grief. The flashbacks were really interesting, adding depth to their relationship as friends and later as a potential couple. Christopher’s past was horrible and it was nearly impossible not to care about him after reading all the things he had gone through by the hands of his pack. I really was rooting for him from the first mention of his abuse. He deserved to be happy not only because he had been violated but because, despite that, he was a good person helping others and trying to put a smile on their faces.

While the characters were the strongest point of this book, the plot and the pacing were not. Nothing really was happening until we hit the 80% point. Before that, we got repetitions and repetitions of internal thoughts and events that happened in the past. I got tired at some point reading about information I already got the first time around. Also, I didn’t feel my protagonists being in danger when they were in dangerous situations. The stakes were not high enough and from this kind of story, I expected them to be. The magic system wasn’t impressive, as well, and it reminded me a lot of other books with supernatural themes.

Nonetheless, I enjoyed this book and I got to know this memorable, full of chemistry couple. The easy-to-follow writing, the character development and the mention of some past events intrigue me to read the other ones too.

This e-arc was provided to me by NetGalley in exchange for an honest opinion. ...more

I want to say what the book is about. I really do but I feel that I will take the fun and mystery from the reader. So therefore grab book one and binge reading it. It’s amazing. Thank me later. You are welcome dear reader.

Last summer I read and weirdly enjoyed Aileen Erin's Alpha Girl series, so when I had an opportunity to read the latest installment in that series as an ARC, I took it, despite the fact that I rarely read ARCs (way more pressure/commitment than I'm usually interested in).

So yes, these are werewolf books. I don't do a lot of paranormal reading because most of it tends to be too angsty/sexy/plain creepy, but sometimes you find a series that works, and I feel that way about Alpha Girl.

So yes, these are werewolf books. I don't do a lot of paranormal reading because most of it tends to be too angsty/sexy/plain creepy, but sometimes you find a series that works, and I feel that way about Alpha Girl. I really like the characters and the world-building. I reread the series to work my way back into Lunar Court, and found myself liking Tessa and her friends all over again. The first five books are basically all one big story - while they do a good job of having each book wrap up some small lines, the overarching plot continues throughout and is done really well. From there, while the books are still closely connected, each one reads more individually.

In Lunar Court the story focuses on Chris and Cosette. Chris is a werewolf, and has been one of my favorite characters throughout the entire series. Cosette is fey, an area of world-building that Erin has been slowly developing throughout the last few books, especially in Shattered Pack, where we learned a lot more about how their culture works. There are a lot of obstacles between Chris and Cosette becoming a couple, and overall this book was a lot more romance-focused than the earlier books. As such, there wasn't quite as much action.

My favorite part about this book was the dual POV. The rest of the books in the series have had a single POV, which worked for what was happening in them, but being able to know what was happening with both Chris and Cosette, since they spend a lot of the book apart, really worked here. I'm on Erin's mailing list, and she's mentioned that she enjoyed the dual POV so much that she's thinking of using it for her next book in the series as well, so hopefully she sticks with it.

Overall, this was a 3.5* read for me, which is slightly below the 4* average I would give the series as a whole. The pacing felt slower in this story - it didn't quite drag, but some things definitely felt repetitive. It also had a darker tone than earlier books, with themes of long-term physical and emotional abuse and manipulation. There are still way more f-bombs in these books than I find necessary - one of my biggest complaints about this series as a whole. Finally, while overall this series has done pretty well skirting around the religious aspect of paranormal, the involvement of archons in this story (who aren't angels except they kind of basically are angels??) meant that this story was edging over the line of theological complications that made me more uncomfortable than the earlier books' theme of "don't mess with demons."

Still, the story itself is well done. I really like Chris and Cosette and totally ship them. I enjoyed watching them overcome the obstacles so that they could be together. Hopefully Erin continues this series, as there are still a lot of characters to explore. If you're looking for some slightly-angsty paranormal, I totally recommend this series. ...more

When I requested this book I didn't realise that it was part of a series, fortunately the story within was clever and thorough enough to read as a standalone. I am intrigued by this world and the author's writing enough that I am going to go get the first book in this series to read from the beginning. I need to know everything. ★★★★

See below for synopsis:

Chris is the guy Cosette always wanted.

Fun. Funny. Lighthearted and sweet. Chris always manages to find beauty and laughter, even when fighting a chapel full of demons. He's exactly what she needs. Except he's a werewolf and she's a member of the Lunar Court — the only fey court that holds sway over the werewolves. Even on his best day, Chris isn't strong enough to last a few hours in the Lunar Court without becoming a slave. No matter how much Cosette's heart wants him, she knows she has to let him go.

But when Chris goes missing, Cosette realizes how much she has to lose if the worst happens. Except her mother — the Queen of the Lunar Court — won’t let her go after Chris. Being forced to stay at court is dangerous for Cosette. Assassins keep coming after her, and unless she accepts a mate, it’s only a matter of time before one of them kills her.

Cosette is the girl Chris has always dreamed of.

Chris sees through the tough facade to the girl exhausted from a lifetime of fighting off assassins and court politics. She needs a true friend, someone who she can be herself around, and craves solitude. The same solitude that Chris craves. But he knows he'll never be enough to survive in her world. So, when Eli — a mysterious archon — requests his help, he figures why not? The guy might be a little shady, but he needs every distraction he can get.

But when Eli says that Cosette’s in trouble, Chris is more than ready to play by Eli's rules. At least until Eli takes him to the Court of Gales. Chris knows he’s about to play a very dangerous game. Bargaining with the fey is something only a desperate person would do. But what wouldn’t Chris give up to save Cosette’s life? ...more

Thank goodness the author didn't make me feel like I missed...EVERYTHING...I actually followed along really well and enjoyed this!!! Please keep this in mind when you read my review...I'm pretty sure my opinion on characters will be different than others.

Chris is a werewolf. Ok, obviously there's more to that statement. He's a damaged werewolf. He was beaten, treated like absolute poo by his pack and pretty much left for dead. Until he was rescued by Cosette and Van. After roaming the forest, hiding and trying to come to terms with his wolf, he found himself extremely comfortable around Cosette more so than any other being. But was that because he's a werewolf and she's a Fey from the Lunar Court, or because there is true chemistry between them?

Cosette is technically a princess of the Lunar Court. And although most people know what she is, she's more than that. Acting as a spy for her Queen/Mother for decades has provided more information about the other "beings" than she could count, but after making deals, she's can't exactly do much about a few of them. That is until her mother gives her an ultimatum. Knowing her time is running out, it's time to find a husband before her mother chooses one for her. Too bad Chris isn't an option....or is he?

I'm not gonna lie, there were times when I was a little bit confused and KNEW that there had to of been more to the story, but then I remembered I've missed SEVEN BOOKS!!! LOL

I really enjoyed this one. Learning about how Chris and Cosette met and fell for each other was super sweet. Although following the different Fey and their "ways" was a bit confusing, I still found it fascinating. I was completely pulled in to this story and couldn't get enough. I'm actually a little mad at myself because I feel like I can't go back and read the previous books, but that doesn't mean I won't try. :) ...more

The two have feelings for each other, but a relationship between them would not work, because he is a werewolf, and she is a princess of the Lunar court.

Lunar Court is a whirlwind of chaos and action with plenty of twists and turns that will pull you into its world from the first word. Our main lady character Cosette is a fey and a member of the Lunar Court who has fallen for a werewolf which is forbidden in her world. Cosette has fallen for the werewolf Chris.

Chris is a lone werewolf whose pack was killed leaving him the only surviving wolf. Chris has always been a loner even among his own pack. But when he lays eyes on Cosette he is smitten from the beginning and will do anything to claim her as his mate.

When Chris hears that Cosette is in trouble he is willing to play with the devil to save her and claim her as his mate. Chris must make a pack with Eli a mysterious archon so that he can gain entrance to the fey world. He knows that making deals with the fey is not a wise thing to do as it can get you into a whole heap of trouble. But Chris is willing to do or give up whatever it takes to save Cosette. But how far is he willing to go?

I can’t seem to get enough of the Alpha Girl world and all of its magical glory. All of the characters are all so amazingly beautiful creatures or people who have so much love and compassion for others. My heart just ripped into for Cosette with that big twist close to the end there. The hurt and the pain had me in tears and my heart was broke. I can’t wait to check out the next book in the Alpha Girl world.

The flashbacks helped, until they started getting annoying. The story would be moving forward and then BAM! a flashback. But, just when I had had enough and was about to put the book down and move it to the DNF pile, the story got good. And I was hooked. I wasn't sure how it would all turn out, but I knew that it would be bloody. I wasn't sure if there would be a happy ending (and I was kind of hoping that there wouldn't be). When the momentum of the story kicks up, it was easy to sit back and just enjoy it.
The characters? I didn't always like them, especially Cosette. She was whiny, for someone to be as old as she is- she acted like a teenager who was just now sent on her world changing mission. But she grows throughout the story. Chris, he's whiny to . Yes I know that they both have been through a lot - so much more than I saw- but come on. It was the last 25% of the book that sold me solidly into this story. That got my fist pumping and me sitting on the edge of my seat. So in the end, I enjoyed it. Out of context from the rest of the series, but still. (In Case, you're interested, I did get the first book in the series to read at a later date). ...more

Disclaimer: I received a copy of this book from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

I am so glad I had the opportunity to read the next installment of the Alpha Girl series! Aileen Erin had me hooked from the first book, and while I haven't had a chance to catch up (trust me, after reading this I need to catch up) and I am so glad that she has continued to write more about the werewolves I've come to know and love.

While this book focuses more on Chris and Cosette (rather than Tessa, the w ...more

First off - I had no idea this was the 8th book in a series!

This book is about Cosette, a Fey Princess and Chris, a werewolf.
It started slow and some characters were talked about but didn’t make an appearance. The worlds weren’t discribed fully (as this is the 8th book, I’m guessing its a been explained by now) so it was a bit hard to understand where every court is and what it’s purpose is, etc.

There are a lot of flashbacks regarding Cosette and Chris as these might have happened in other books ...more

Erin took us for a spin on this latest installment in the Alpha Girl Series. It is a departure, but one many have been waiting for. I for one have longed to see more of Chris and the Fae. She does a wonderful job of incorporating their backstories into the plot line. Despite that fact that it felt different, because it was different... solely focused on a one werewolf and the various Fae, her signature style was as brilliant as ever. Get your seatbelt on and keep all hands in the vehicle, you ar ...more
