DarkNight of the Moon by D.J. Jennings

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

He lurks in shadows and mystery at Camp Shifter, coming out only during DarkNight, the wild, bacchanalian free-for-all where anything goes.

Anything.

No one has seen him in the daylight, no one knows where he lives, no one knows his name–and the shifter nicknamed DarkLover by women, DarkDude by men, will do anything to keep it that way.

Andie Cumbington has been waiting her whole life for The Letter. One of the few shifters who is ecstatic about her newfound status, the chestnut-haired ballerina bear shifter arrives for her month at Camp Shifter with unbridled excitement. On her first DarkNight, she finds wild passion and–to her surprise–so much more, with a stranger who touches her heart as much as he lights up her body.

And then he’s gone, back into the shadows, hidden.

Exactly where he wants to be.

Craving his touch with an insatiable desire, Andie can’t let go. She always wanted the roll in the hay, but she never imagined the passion would be so intense. 

Fate drives her to find love.

Then a simple errand turns into mortal danger for Andie, and an impossible choice as DarkLover must overcome his biggest fear in order to save the woman he loves.

But will it be too late?

The heroine: Andie – she was a ballerina and is a bear shifter who shifted for the first time on stage at the ballet. She also broke her ankle when it happened and was sent off to camp shifter with a cane to help her walk. Her dad is a shifter, and her mom isn’t, so she wasn’t sure if she would be one or not. She had heard about Dark Lover who is a bit of a tall tale around the camp, and she was secretly obsessed with him and wanted nothing more than to meet him.

The Hero: David (a.k.a. Dark Lover) – He was a doctor who came up with the vaccine used on shifters which helps them control their power. At one time he had a wife and sons and when they died, he blamed himself. He now lives in the woods near camp shifter and spends most of his time as a grizzly bear. Though he comes to the camp for Dark Night, when the shifters all go out to play in their animal forms and then turn into humans to satisfy their desires. He is a great lover who practices one and done.

The Story: Andie’s parents own an auto shop, so she is a mechanic as well as a ballerina. She knew all about Dark Night and was excited to start a new phase of her life and explore her sexuality on Dark Night. This story was super steamy and there was a pretty good backstory as well. I am really liking this camp shifter world.

Like the first book, this was told in both characters points of view via dual narration. It was narrated by Jeffrey Kafer and Heather Costa. Jeffrey has a deep voice and is a good narrator. Heather Costa has a feminine voice which sounds a bit scratchy but is a good voice which I enjoy, and she is good at showing emotion through her voice.
