About this book
Cerise Mar and her unruly clan are cash poor but land rich, claiming a large swathe of the Mire, the Edge swamplands between the state of Louisiana and the Weird. When her parents vanish, her clan's long-time rivals are suspects number one.
But all is not as it seems. Two nations of the Weird are waging a cold war fought by feint and espionage, and their conflict is about to spill over into the Edge - and Cerise's life. William, a changeling soldier who left behind the politics of the Weird, has been forced back into service to track down a rival nation's spymaster.
When William's and Cerise's missions lead them to cross paths, sparks fly - but they'll have to work together if they want to succeed…and survive.

~* 4.5 Stars *~ William Wolf is a changling. Feared and hated by humans of the Weird - and sometimes killed at birth - his kind is cursed as demons and known for having a nearly unquenchable thirst for violence. He's not and will never be 'normal.' He was raised at Hawk's Academy, a cold place that trained him to be a killer for his country, then spit him out into the military. Until a court marshal and a death sentence took everything he knew away from him. Now, almost two years after helping...

I cannot believe I’ve never written a review for this. But as I sit here and try to think of how to quantify my feels about this book with words… I kind of can understand why I have not. I adored On the Edge. Declan and Rose were fantastic. George and Jack wormed their way into my heart and made me love them. The world – as to be expected from Ilona Andrews – was amazing, fun, and scary. I wasn’t sure how I was going to feel getting away from them so completely. Sure, I’d met William in that...

Bayou Moon is an action-packed, fun-filled adventure with a love story that delivers angst, heart, and deep emotional satisfaction.

Cerise Mar is a fierce, intelligent, and fiercely loyal heroine, carrying the weight of her family’s survival on her shoulders. She’s everything you want in a strong female lead—resourceful, brave, and willing...

I TRIED TO AVOID THE SPOILERS THERE IS A COUPLE OF VAGUE SPOILER REFERENCES THOUGH. I am a huge fan of these authors. I could not put this book down. It had everything ¡V lovely romance, sophisticated world building, interesting characters and battle against evil. Even though I would say that two books in the On the edge series had been both romance and fantasy so far, I have to say that I *really* liked romance subplot. I like how Cerise and William got to know each other and I think authors...

The world of The Edge is an interesting one. Modern-day life is juxtaposed with an almost wild-west setting and also with a more traditional fantasy setting. The Broken is mundane earth - technology rules and there is no magic. Then there is The Weird - full of magic and shape shifters and mystical creatures. Sandwiched between is a sort of buffer zone - The Edge. People who live in The Edge have some magic, but not enough to keep them from entering The Broken. They forge a life for themselves...
