If it wasn’t for the writer in me, Attracting Anthony, book
one of the Moon Pack Series by Amber Kell would have been more enjoyable. With that
said, I did somewhat enjoy the story I just didn’t like certain aspects of it.
Anthony is talked into going to a club with his best-friend,
Steven, but in order not to outshine his friend, he casts a glamour that makes
him look less attractive then he is, showcasing how good of a friend he is.
In those same pages, the death of Anthony’s lover is mentioned
and the glamour for friendship is downgraded to a twofer.
The issue I have with the beginning is due to the way it was
worded. Hundreds of words could have been cut if the scenes describing the
effects of the glamour and the conversation between Anthony and Steven had been
merged into one. It also would have been less jarring.
Once passed the first chapter, the story unfolded and
proceeded to become more interesting. The love interest is named Silver Moon,
an alpha were-wolf and owner of the club, which apparently remains unnamed,
that Anthony is visiting. As it is a short story, the romance unfolds quickly
and I truthfully don’t mind that. What I mind is the lack of conflict between
the two of them or an outside force opposing their love. Anthony’s parents
would have been an amusing opposition, or the vampires reengaging on the deal. I don’t really care, I just wanted conflict.
Honestly, anything would have been beneficial two crank this story up to a full
three rather than two and a half.
