Book Review: Red Moon (Red Moon Second Generation Series Book 1) by Elizabeth Kelly

     Avery was sold along with her sister into the life of slavery by her mother after her noble father died. She was a Red, meaning someone with red hair, and had the ability to heal others through touch at some expense of her own. The thing is none of that mattered to her. Not even that everyone considered her to be a witch because she was a Red. She just wanted what was best for her younger sister and she would do whatever it took for her to have a good life. When Tristan came with his daughter to purchase slaves she knew she had to get her sister to go with him.
     Tristan needed to add some slaves to his home in order to better provide for his daughter, whom he had only recently gotten back from her mother, his ex-wife. When he seen the Red he was leery due to the superstitions around them, but as his daughter was taken with her he could not refuse. Soon, however, he quickly realized he needed her by his side and in his bed.
     When one falls from a high status to one as low as a slave it is bound to be humiliating as well as a very difficult transition. That being said Avery lives the life she has been dealt with a sort of calm that I have never known in a redhead. That is not to say that she rolls over and accepts whatever people try to throw her way, she just does not start by lashing out and uses it instead as only a last resort.
      I enjoyed the concept of a redhead being a witch, which used to be a common belief among humans hundreds of years ago. Not only that but I will forever love a good shifter romance. Besides, we all know how I feel about a redheaded heroine. There's something about a redhead.
     That being said I can't rate this as one of my top favorites and I don't think I will be looking for book two any time soon, if at all. While I was caught up in the story while I was reading it I had no problem pulling myself back to reality without that dazed and confused period that readers frequently experience with a very good book. All in all read it if you would like a smutty period romance, but if you're looking for something to draw you in and leave you wanting more then this is not the book for you.
