Mona Lisa Awakening (Monere Series #1)

The True Mona Lisa

Well, I'm not ashamed to tell you that I love this story. Sunny runs the story lone book to book with only hours passing for the characters from one book to the next. FYI, you have to read the short stories as well to get the whole story. That being said, it's such an enthralling story, make sure you have plenty of time to read through all the books one after the other - you'll want to.

Now, on to what must be said; a warning . . . the characters are promiscuous and definitely sexually uninhibited. Whether or not their actions are a good surprise or a bad surprise depends on what you, the reader, brings to the table . . . or comfy armchair, since we're talking about books.

I wanted to like this book

Unfortunately there's only so much character and plot developing you can do in 243 pages. I thought the characters were one dimensional and and the story was rushed. It's one thing to read a book and think, "this is just bad." I finished this and was left wondering what could of been. Feeling not that it was bad, but that it could have been so much better.

the moon folk and you could bask in it... :)

I enjoyed this book, it was catchy from beginning to end... started with the lady not knowing who she was and then truly being awakened... I thought the multiple lovers were a plus, each was different and she was not having sex with the folks just for the heck of it... she was "healing" them... you know, like Marvin Gaye sung about... :)

good but lacks focus

I would have rated this story better if it were more focused. The characters make up for the aimless, meandering plot. The story was entertaining and easy to read but I couldn't help the feeling that Mona Lisa was just a sticky ball rolling along aimlessly and gathering people as she went. The story and its protagonist seemed to lack a goal. There is little suspense in wondering about the characters' futures since its apparent the characters have no clue what they'll do next and are simply reacting to events.

Amazing story! Must read for paranormal lovers! Darkly erotic

Wow! I absolutely loved this book. I love finding a paranormal series that is refreshingly different. Mona Lisa is an ER Nurse in Manhattan that feels alone in the world. She meets a creature during one of her shifts that changes her life and helps her to understand why she has been different all of her life. She is not only another species, but a born Queen of that species (kinda like a queen bee) that is meant to rule. This story was absolutely amazing. Filled with action, heart break, and loyalty that is so intense. Mona Lisa is a strong female that grows into an amazing inspiring leader. She faces many challenges and protects those she cares for with intense fierceness and love.

I can't recommend this book enough to lovers of the paranormal. Or to anyone that appreciates a strong female, hot yummy shape shifters, and a wild ride. This book is a keeper and a re-reader.

Looks like a good book?

I havn't read it yet, but it loooks like a good book. Any suggestions?

GREAT PARANORMAL SERIES.........YOU WON'T BE DISAPPOINTED, HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!!!!

I have read the entire Moniere series and what can I say other than 'I LOVED EVERY MOMENT'. Sunny keeps you wanting more and more. I found myself wishing I was Mona Lisa. If only I where so lucky!!!!!! I hope there will be more and more to come. I hated to see the series end. DEFINETLY ONE OF MY FAVORITE SERIES!!!! If you love paranormal romance, I can guarantee you will love Mona Lisa and the Children of the Moon.

Rip off of BJT

This story is in every way a rip off of the Black Jewels Trilogy by Anne Bishop in every way shape and form. I will never give this author money for work another Author did.

If you want to read the real story Read that. This actually doesn't even deserve a ONE star rating. Truely....argh. Doesn't anyone write their own stuff anymore?

Fantastic Read

I was a little resistant to reading this book at first, since I hadn't read anything similar before;however, I am glad that I did. Like most other reviews state, I simply could not put this book down. Sunny did an amazing job with this series-it's a wonder why she was ever a physician!If you are looking for a great story mixed with steamy scenes, this is definately the series for you!I have read Awakening and Blossoming, and currently reading Craving.None of them have been disappointing thus far!Go ahead, get it-you know you want to!

Fantastic

This book was fantastic. I couldn't put it down. I was hooked from the synopsis on the first page. I highly recommend it if you like sci-fi fantasty and are looking to get lost in a book for a few hours. I am so excited to read the rest of the series.

So good start of so good series

I don't even know how I found this author but I'm so glad i did. Couldn't put it down, couldn't wait to read the next.

Great Book!!

This book is very original and interesting, I could not put it down...
I recommend this book to everyone...

Seductive & sexy

The author uses a lyrical way of writing that doesn't need alot of words to form a visual in your mind. Her way of describing the same scenes where never boring b/c of her style of writing. She worth reading over and over and any of her novellas are a hit with me.

This book is the first in the Monere series and starts by revealing the some of the characters mystical sides. Some of the characters are established and are very powerfully present. If your imagination is as active as mine your brain will dance happily with this book. So beautifully made. It ends with you wanting more and also prepares you for what's to come. (less)

I'm awake

This is an easy read with charactors that don't slow down for a minute. I enjoyed the fast pace of the story and didn't need all the extra details some missed. This story is full of graphic violence and sex so if you are easily offended then avoid this book/series or if this is the kind of stuff you crave you've hit the jackpot!

ify

The characters were great. They had life and a story and you could imagine them with your minds eye. What I didnt like was the fact that everyything jumped into motion way too fast from one topic to another.I think she would have been great with a little more detail. Like for instance how in the hell does Mona lisa know how to kick bad guy butt?? Who taught her to hold a knife?? Simple things about her should have been a little more detailed. Even though I find it a little flawed in that sense, the originality of her writing has me hooked on to read the next mone lisa books.

I LOVED THIS BOOK!

This is my favorite book to date. The entire book series is excellent!! The way Sunny describes the characters has you completly hooked and you will not be able to put the book down I would strongly recommend this book for all my friends. It is a adult erotica book and the entire series is addicting, i have read the entire series more than once. You will fall in love with Mona Lisa, Gryphon, and Amber!! I really wish there were more books like it!!

Amazing!

This was the first book I've read from Sunny and I am hooked for life! This book is very touching, adventurous and completely erotic! The Mona Lisa series will forever be my favorite series and will be kept as treasured pieces of my collection. If you like paranormal romance this is a MUST READ.

Super erotic
