Werewolf relationships are all about influence and offspring, especially as they are becoming extinct. But Carmela Santiago resents that type of life. She dreams of falling in love, not following the example her parents have set.

When sensual vampire Derek Ashmore rescues her from dangerous hunters, she tumbles head over heels for him. Not a wise decision since werewolves and vampires are mortal enemies.

Meeting her caring mate-to-be Brendan Kelly has her further questioning the future. Regardless, her life has forever changed now that she’s met not one, but two men who pull at her heartstrings...

This is part one in a werewolf/vampire why choose serial with a cliffhanger, explicit language, and sexual situations. Please read the books in order.

    5.0 out of 5 stars The only thought floating through my head was the almost-kiss
    Reviewed in Canada on April 30, 2015
    WHOA!! and WOW!! Now THIS is a story that I could oh so happily and eagerly get lost in! In fact I just did! Sarah has definitely outdone herself with this one! I love the mix of species, the hints at what is going on in this world, the little bit of a darker tone to the storyline, but it does have some humor that offsets these parts or lightens things up, not that it is needed mind you! There is so much going on! Sexy parts, funny parts, darker parts, bits that break your heart, bits that make you gasp or say WTF?! You know, everything that makes a great story well…great and keeps you holding your breath and craving more! While this is not “horror” darker, it does have a great deep story that begs you to uncover all of its secrets! This is definitely not a light & fluffy story, which in my opinion is completely fantastic and the perfect draw for me! I am not usually a fan of stories told from the views of multiple first persons, but this one is different. Sarah has written it very beautifully and with each chapter switching viewpoints means that it doesn't flip 'all the time' which makes it quite easy to follow and it also gives insight from each character, letting us in on their thoughts. However it doesn't tell the same scene over & over again from each character which I think is why I am enjoying it very much! It may pick up on the last bit of the last character, but then it takes over and goes forward with the other characters story. Carmella is an interesting person whom I can't wait to get to know better. Same with Derek. I did find it quite interesting that Sarah has chosen to tell actually very little background on the characters, the different species involved or even how many even exist in this world. The story just starts off running - literally - and you get bits & pieces here and there that keep the storyline moving forward while also giving you the insight as to what is going on and why. This actually drew me in right away and I found myself very disappointed when I got to the ending! I cannot wait to keep reading! I NEED to know what is going to happen! If Carmella doesn't want Derek, I will happily take him off of her hands for her. I haven’t read that many of Sarah’s book as of yet, in fact I have recently started to work my way through them all, but this story is by far and away my favorite! I personally think, again having only read a couple of her books so far, that this is in fact her best work to date! I hope that there won’t be too long of a wait between each part of this story! I am usually a very impatient reader, but this one has me itching to get the ENTIRE series RIGHT NOW! So yes, I recommend this to anyone who likes a great, slightly darker, but with some humor, sexy & oh so awesome paranormal story!

    This is a gripping and dramatic opening book to the series! I really got sucked in with the almost instant action, the angst and uncertainty, then the chemistry and also the abuse. There is a very dark tone to this book but there's so much going on that you just can't help but be riveted to every page to see what comes next! I am quite anxious to be reading the next part of the story to see how things are going to continue to form up. I was gifted a complimentary copy of this book and I loved it!

    4.0 out of 5 stars Beneath the Broken Moon
    Reviewed in Canada on May 1, 2015
    An evening out turns into disaster when the bad guys try to kill Carmela but that's peanuts compared to meeting two men who pull at her heartstrings this intriguing first installment of the Broken serial.

    The serial starts off arousing curiosity and getting the readers attention with a fast paced and smooth flowing plot full of suspense, excitement and flirtation and Carmela and Derek have certainly caught my interest. Don't know much about Brendan yet but seems that the romance part of this serial is starting off with quite the dilemma for Carmela.

    The story starts off with a bang and there is never a dull moment although the story is over rather quickly and ends with a cliffhanger, I find the world very fascinating with some interesting elements and it promises to be an exciting story, so I can't wait to read part two.

    This book is a mixture of dark and thrilling fantasy. There are lots of darker moments in this book that don't sit right with me though. But the book was a good read. I enjoyed the story and the characters. All except Carmela's father. Read this on 21 shades of night.

    Carmela Santiago, a werewolf, was hurt by the hunters during a raid in the theater. She was saved by Derek Ashmore, a vampire who hid her and took care of her wound. Vampires and werewolves had been enemies for centuries and both, Carmela and Derek, were suspicious of the other one. Carmela was thinking about was waiting for her in the future and it was a bad thing. She felt something for the vampire who care about her but, afraid of what her cruel father would do, Carmela fled leaving Derek thinking he was attracted to her. This first part begins with a good dose of action and suspense. The author gives the reader vampires, werewolves and hunters in a continue guessing as to what’s happening with this new post apocalypse world. The plot was intense with different and intriguing characters. The main characters were well define with interesting dialogues that make the reader think. My mind worked overtime with the emotions that the plot was bringing. This first part has caught my attention because of the themes developed and the way the author presents then. Love paranormal and this series looks like a winner. Eager for the second part.
    Received the ARC for an honest review.

    My first read of werewolf and vampire romance absolute out of there but loved it never the less as it is the epitome of a romeo and Juliet in the PNR world.
    You always read about shifters mating for life and loving them but in this case Carmela’s Father is another breed of father who is so evil it beggars belief.
    As for Derek the vampire can’t wait to read more about him in the next book of the series.

    Perfect length for a novella easily read in one sitting.

    Carmela is a high born werewolf who is attacked by hunters but saved from certain death by Derek who is a vampire. What an unlikely couple they would make, but Carmela is engaged to marry/mate Brendon although she is attracted to Derek. What is a girl to do? She wants love will she find it. I don't do spoilers so I can't say any more but I will say I can't wait to read the next part of the serial. If you like adult fantasy and sexy stories you will love this episode of a 5 part serial.

    My Thoughts - 4 out of 5 Unicorns - I really liked it!!!

    The cover definitely made me notice it which is why I bought it :)

    This is the first part in this novella serial series. If you are not sure what all the means, it is simple :) Novella is the length and for this book about 60 pages. Serial series are where one book is broken into parts or episodes like a TV series. Only with a book serial you can miss any of the parts or you will be missing major content. It must be read in order :) This serial is not complete yet, so this means waiting in between parts and usually at the end of each part is a cliffhanger. If you don’t like cliffhangers, the solution is simple, wait until the whole thing is complete and then read it :) Personally I like not having to wait a whole year for the new book, so I don’t mind serials which are usually published monthly. I am know sure on the rating of this book, but I’m thinking adults only with the violence and abuse.

    This is my first time reading Sarah’s work though I know I do own several of her works as I’m a book addict…I just haven’t made time to read them all yet…pesky things like work, son, and life getting in my way ;) I really enjoyed reading this part. She has created a new world that I am still learning about, but it has shifters, vampires, and a blown up moon.

    Carmela is a shifter, and she has to put up with quite a bit at home. Her dad needs his butt kick, her mom is abused, and her cousin….well I’m not sure what to think of her yet but so far she needs to be slapped. Derek is a sexy vampire, and he seems like he is a good guy so far….helping out. Brendan only showed up at the end, so I don’t know enough yet to decide if I like him yet. Carmela so far is unsure about both, so we will see if she chooses one or the other or who knows both :) There is some action, and there is definitely some underhanded things going on, but I’m not sure exactly what yet. I just know I liked it and I’m ready for part two :)

    I recommend this book to people who like serials with shifters and vampires and that is unique. Off to read the next part :)

    BENEATH THE BROKEN MOON – SARAH MAKELA
    Beneath the broken moon is a great read and a nice introduction into the characters. For the broken moon series I would have liked more information as to how the moon broke, why and what happened after.
    Carmela Santiago is a female werewolf and in this time frame females are needed for breeding as the race is becoming extinct. Her abusive A**hole of a father has a fellow shifter chosen to be her mate she is not at all in favour of this.
    While out with her cousin, hunters attack the movie theatre while escaping she is shot and rescued by a vampire Derek Ashmore. Has she gone from bad to worse as werewolves and vampires are sworn enemies. She agrees to go on a date with the man that her father chose. Who seems to be a kind and caring man (werewolf) Brendan Kelly he is not at all what she is expecting. Will this sexy vampire be the end of Carmela’s heart or will she settle for the man her father has chosen for her?
    As this is not set in our timeline I felt some more back ground information would have been helpful to clarify what has happened and how they arrived at how they have reached where they are.
    Having received this ARC for an honest review. I would recommend this as a good read. I look forward to reading part 2 to see how the rest of the story takes us.
