[Book Review] Moon Touched by Elizabeth Briggs

Moon Touched

 My fated mate rejected me—and now I've been captured by someone even worse.

As the half-human outcast of the Cancer pack, I've been beaten and bullied my whole life. Gaining my wolf form and my fated mate is my only chance to change packs and hope for a better life.

Except when my fated mate is revealed, he's the future alpha of the Leo pack—our worst enemies. He rejects me in front of everyone, just before the Leos slaughter my entire pack and murder my family.

I manage to escape, but then I'm kidnapped by a far greater threat: the alpha of the mysterious lost pack. The 13th sign was banished from the Zodiac Wolves years ago, and I thought they were just a myth.

They're real. They're holding me captive. And the dark, dangerous alpha is offering me something I can't refuse—revenge.

Moon Touched is the first book in a scorching hot wolf shifter trilogy, perfect for fans of Jaymin Eve, Laura Thalassa, and Amelia Hutchins.

I haven't read a book from Elizabeth Briggs that I haven't liked yet, and this book is no exception! I devoured this book within a few hours and I just could not put it down. Wolves? Check. Rejected mate? Check. Spice? Check check. Intense, brooding male? Check check check. 

Ayla is a half human wolf that is continuously rejected by her alpha father and her pack due to the fact that she's a "half breed." During the convergence where she gains her wolf shifting ability, she also goes through the mating ritual to possible gain a mate. But, her mate is a a major jerk from the rival pack and he immediately rejects her despite the pull from the mate bond. She escapes from the pack showdown as the possible sole survivor and is "kidnapped" by the 13th Zodiac pack: aka the lost pack. Kaden is the alpha of the lost pack and wants to become part of the Zodiac packs again. But, they are the rejected pack so he makes a deal with Ayla to get revenge on her mate and the Leo pack, and in exchange she can train and become a part of his pack after multiple tests. Ayla has always felt rejected and like she doesn't belong, so Kaden's pack is perfect for her. Only downside? She is incredible attracted to Kaden, but he's not her mate so it's complicated. Their chemistry is scorching, and their characters are awesome. I loved Ayla and Kaden so much! 

To me, this book had everything I want to read. It had great world building, plotline, characters, chemistry and spice. It does end on a cliffhanger, but the next book comes out next week so it's not too bad. I am eagerly awaiting the next book in the series. Elizabeth, you've got me hooked on your books!
