    Moon Fever by Ileandra Young | ARC Review

    20th August 2020
    Cover of Moon Fever (Ileandra Young)

    Moon Fever (The S.P.E.A.R. Mission Files #2) by Ileandra Young

    • Publisher: Bold Strokes Books, August 11th 2020
    • Genre: Fantasy, Romance, LGBTQ+

    • Page Count: 303 pages
    • My Rating: ⭐⭐⭐ (3/5)

    CW: speciesism from main character, ableist language from main character, blood, transphobia, sexism, loss of body parts, torture

    I have very conflicted feelings about this sequel. Danika’s egotistic actions irk me constantly, but I am still very invested in her story. In Both Ways, her stubbornness and rashness often lead her into horrible situations. And now? Things are worse. With her team investigating in recent werewolf attacks, she is drastically overpowered by the edanes and yet somehow thinks it is a good idea for her to get involved in their conflicts.

About Me

Lí-hó!! I am Hsinju (they/she), a Taiwanese book blogger, writer, and full-time grad student in engineering. Here, I mainly review books featuring authentically represented LGBTQ+ characters and/or written by LGBTQ+ authors. You’d usually find me going about life with my heart stuck in the last book I finished.
