"Changeling", the second book in the Sisters of the Moon trilogy, was an engaging and fun read. This series by Yasmine Galenorn,, features three sisters all with different powers, who alternate points of view per book. The first book was narrated by Camille, a witch. The book was appropriately title, "Witchling". This book is told by Camille's sister, Delilah. Delilah is a shapeshifter. Instead of being something big and bad though, Delilah shifts into a tabby- a cute housecat. Maybe its because the world was already set up in the first book, but I found "Changeling" to be more fun and better thought out then "Witchling". This could also be because I find Delilah absolutely enchanting. As a kitty she is adorable. Galenorn must love cats because she has Delilah down pat as a feline. When Delilah is human, she is a unique mix of tough and sensitive. I really like the character. There are some humorous moments at Delilah's behavior with the Yule tree and tendor moments as she wakes up tabby and wants to be petted. This plot was better than the first also. Someone is killing werepumas and Zach hires Delilah to investigate. I liked the side characters quite a bit. Iris the housekeeper, Maggie the baby gargoyle, and Smoky the dragon all liven up this tale. I didn't care for Zach and my biggest complaint is the love triangle between he, Delilah and Chase, a human supernatural investigator. From what I understand in later books Camille has a love square, so I guess I shouldn't complain much. I don't care for all the woman in these paranormal stories who are okay with having multiple lovers- call me a romantic but I'd like to see them have one, or at least one at a time. If it's a part of who they are as a species, why don't we hear about the men having other lovers? Another minor annoyance was Galenorn introduced a new character, who could have been interesting, only to be killed off almost immediately. The death didn't change or further the story so it felt pointless and kind of odd. "Changeling" became very involved and had many side plots interweaved throughout. I'm sure many of these are setting up events in future books, but it caused this book to border on overwhelming. Still I flew through this book and I am very optimistic about this series. ( )

Continuing the story from the first book, the D'Artigo sisters are still in trouble. This time, the POV is from the middle sister, Delilah. She's a shape shifter & the problem involves other shifters.

It's pretty well done & entertaining. Sexual tension & some fairly explicit sex, but not so much as to be too distracting from the story. It's actually used fairly well to give some extra punch to the story in places, which surprised me, since I don't usually care for it.

Interesting world & while there were some additions/expansions to it, nothing huge. We're pretty much using what was already introduced in the first book, which I appreciated. Mostly the same characters, who are developed more.

All in all, a well done book & a quick read. Harder to put down than I would expect! ( )

This is the second book in the series, and even more bad things are happening to the D'Artigo sisters! I like how Galenorn mixes in a bunch of genres in this series: a little bit of humor, some mystery, some romance, a lot of paranormal and fantasy! I did find myself being a little frazzled at how much stuff was going on in this story, but it didn't make me enjoy it any less. I'm really enjoying the series so far, but they definitely need to be read in order to understand everything that is going on. ( )

These sisters are funny. Things just never seem to go their way - due to being half - fae and half-human. But in this book, we follow Delilah who is half- were. But she doesn't turn into a big beautiful cat, she turns into a small little, yellow tabby cat. But that doesn't dampen her instincts or her fighting power.

Yasmine Galenorn's series here is incredible. The worlds that she has created to be paralle of Earth is quite interesting and it seems that OtherWorld is having probs of their own. So with all the sisters Earthside they have to try and keep the peace here. But of course, with a little romance and tons of action - this book turned out really good. Even with all the little Spiderlings and such creatures trying to wreck havoc on Earth to take over.

Her characters are fun and loveable. You just cannot help but to love the D'Artigo sisters, even when they just can't get a break from killing demons to save people and themselves. It was a little slow in the beginning, but I stuck with it and after a short period found I couldn't put it down, I just had to know what was going on! The plot was amazing, but in the end everything kind of fell nice and neat into place!

So I'm really looking forward to reading the next book in this series (and they should be read in order, as to avoid any confusion) - Darkling. ( )

Changeling was a fun read. There were slight inconsistencies here and there, but nothing that would make me put it down. The storyline was well thought out, and exciting. It was interesting to see Galenorn switch the viewpoint of the book from the eldest sister to the middle sister, but it seemed to work. Kudos to Galenorn for keeping all of the facts straight and remembering what things happened to whom, and who else knew about them. Quite a challenge that Galenorn pulled off very well. ( )
