Commentary Toward Books Mona Lisa Darkening (Monère: Children of the Moon #4)
Sunny's 'Mona Lisa' series is a fascinating, dark fantasy filled with otherworldly creatures that are quite a bit different from the usual paranormal fare. Her world is based on the Monere, a society of moon descendants who 'bask' in the moon's rays to sustain their life. They are stronger, faster, and prettier than normal humans...and many, if not most, are quite a bit crueler. Mona Lisa is drawn into NetherHell this time, and neither her status as Queen nor her Hell mate Halcyon can help her out of this one. Instead it may fall to Mona Lisa's bitterest enemy, Mona Louisa, to provide the knowledge and skills to save herself. If you haven't been reading this series, you don't want to start with this one! It would still be an interesting and different read, but you would miss all of the broad scope that's packed into such a small novel. The back cover states that Sunny's series will appeal to fans of Anne Bishop and Laurell K. Hamilton, and I agree with that. But I would add Sherri L. King, Laura Anne Gilman, Jennifer Rardin, and fans of C E Murphy's 'Shaman' series to that list. There's not as much sex in this book as in her previous, but the heat is still pretty darn high and in many ways I think this book rides that line between romance and erotica because of the number and 'kinds' of sex portrayed. I'm hooked on this series and look forward to each new book...so yet another for my groaning keeper shelves.Rating Of Books Mona Lisa Darkening (Monère: Children of the Moon #4)

In the conclusion of Mona Lisa's story, we have her taken to Netherhell via a blackness that falls upon her while she is Basking. In Netherhell, Mona Louisa's essence in her is much stronger, enough so that they are able to shift back in forth between them, body and mind alike. Together, they try and find a way out of Netherhell, and realize that although they are very different in personality, together they make a good team.I very much wanted there to be another book after this one, as theSunny's 'Mona Lisa' series is a fascinating, dark fantasy filled with otherworldly creatures that are quite a bit different from the usual paranormal fare.

It's weird, I liked this one better than the last but I still can't rate it higher than a 2. The beginning was interesting but the end was incredibly disappointing and lame.Mona Lisa and her group are basking on the night of the Vernal Equinox and a dark light flashes across the moon. Mona Lisa disappears and reawakens in NetherHell; a separate realm worse than normal Hell. Once in NetherHell, Mona Lisa is taken to a gargoyle warlord who becomes incredibly interested in her because he wants to
This series has a major theme common with the two Laurell K. Hamilton series: a tough on the outside, loving on the inside magically powerful heroine and her relationships with many different men who are mostly cool with sharing her. Ridiculous? Absolutely. Really interesting if you like complicated relationships, YES! There's some interesting action and alternate realities thrown in too, which I like.Premise of this fourth installment in the series: Mona Lisa gets accidentally sucked into
I enjoyed this volume, but I feel like it should have been split up into two separate books. I wish that the events in Netherhell were extended to a longer period than the brief 24 hours. I wanted to learn more about those characters and the location. There seemed to be much more about them than the glimpse we were given. With the continued perspective changes from first to third person, I would have also really enjoyed reading about the friendship between Halcyon and Gryphon and all of their
The Monere series by Sunny has always fascinated me. The idea of a species of people who are ruled by their own queen and need the moon to survive was genius on Sunny's part. And to add it onto that, this book is surely to please fans of later Laurell K. Hamilton writing; Mona Lisa is definately a girl who is not afraid to have more than one lover.However, this book in particular fell short for me. The initial plot was fascinating; Mona Lisa, while basking in the light of the moon, is suddently
Reviews like this (and more) can be found on Ambrosia Books Oh, Mona Lisa. You were the love story of my early twenties. I wanted nothing but to be like you. Men who fought for your honor (sexy men, at that), connection to the moon, sex for power. That was the life...After years hiatus of continuing this story, I finally picked this up and read it, so full of nostalgia. I was shocked, utterly shocked at what I read. I'm so upset to say this and it truly brings tears to my eyes, but Mona Lisa....
