Never stop running—even if the Gods are chasing you.
Starlight City is gone, reduced to ash and memories. Half of the city lies dead beneath the rubble and ash, and the other half is scattered like leaves in a storm. Gwen’s mates are just as broken and lost, their bonds strained to the breaking point with no clue what to do next.
Desperate and running out of options, Gwenieve turns to her past to find answers that might save what’s left of her world.
She finds herself in Morriganis City, facing a family member she never expected. But the Gods have long memories, and it turns out they have not forgotten her vow. The Rite of Freedom will continue its deadly course, even if her world is shattering apart day by day.
With her Nexus finally ready to reveal all the buried secrets of their Starlight past, with her mates slowly learning who they truly are and the devastating power they wield, her twin sister and the Vian king sowing chaos at every turn, and the world tipping dangerously toward a path of no return, Gwenieve has to dig deep and find the strength to fight.
The Gods may think they hold all the cards, but they’ve forgotten one crucial thing about Gwenieve and her bonds. As her Nexus promises in the darkness: “They are mine, and all Gods will die.”
MOONLIGHT BONDS is a dark romantasy full of irresistible tension and dangerous desire. Dive into a story teeming with growly alpha shifters, rejected mates, forced proximity, and electrifying “touch her and die” moments. This is a tale where love is fierce, bonds are unbreakable, and monsters lurk just beneath the skin. This is book four of five.

This book was everything I hoped for—and more. It peeled back layers of Gwen’s past that had only been hinted at in earlier installments, revealing secrets that shook me. With their city destroyed, Gwen and her mates are shattered, scattered, and forced to navigate a storm of emotions: love, rage, betrayal, confusion, and the slow, painful climb toward healing. Every breath Gwen takes is laced with doubt. Trust is a luxury she can’t afford, and each day feels like a war—against enemies, against...

I couldn’t wait to read this after the ending of book 4. I wanted to know why the betrayal and lies. We did get why certain mates betrayed Gwen but it just felt like it could be more. I mean I’m excited for bk 5 because I like these characters I just felt it could have ended in this book. I didn’t understand was Hollis was horrible to been and yet he is quickly forgiven. Ugh drives me crazy. Another agonizing cliffy that had me shocked. We definitely learned a lot and now I just can’t wait for...

Okay, I have so many feelings about this series, it’s almost embarrassing. 🫣 Like the kind where you want to throw the book, hug it, and scream “you could’ve been amazing!” all at once. But here’s the thing — the story has the bones. It’s got the drama, the plot, the magic, the emotional potential to be a total 5⭐️ fave… but it just never fully commits. Everything stays a little too surface-level when you can see all the threads that could’ve made it unforgettable. My biggest “ugh” moments?...

I happen to come across this book just by chance online. And the plot looked really good. I started reading 'the first one, and it drew me in right away once I got hooked. That was the end of that, I haven't been able to put it down. And I absolutely love it. And currently hanging on this cliffhanger at book 4, which is killing me. Because the next book 5 doesn't come out until April. I absolutely love the characters love the story. It had so many twists and turns I was not expecting some of...
