Reads fine as a "romance"; falls flat as "urban fantasy" By missusjonz In a perfect world, there would be a clear divide--a mile wide one, at that--between "urban fantasy" and "paranormal romance". Unfortunately, an awful lot of books from the two genres receive both tags, which muddies things terribly for readers who are shopping for one but really don't like the other.For romance readers, this is a perfectly passable example of the genre: hot, mysterious men and beautiful, troubled women; pages and pages of sex; and, oh yeah, shape-shifters. And some magical stuff that happens, mostly so that the main characters can have sex some more.As an urban fantasy, this book falls short. The characters are stereotypes rather than living, breathing people, as if the author broke out the old standard cookie cutters for the hero, the buddy, the damsel, and the villain. The only real dynamic character--the only character who learns & evolves as a result of the happenings in the plot--is a relatively minor one. The dialogue has some clever moments, but even then it seems to be a case of clever-for-the-sake-of-cleverness rather than contributing to character-building or plot development.The plot, after a promising beginning, pretty quickly becomes predictable. . . and secondary to the aim of getting the two lead characters into bed. The author's world/culture building is minimal, relying instead on overused stereotypes of what a werewolf society is about. The only truly original concept Rogers brings to the table is the existence of "Seers" (misnamed, since they are apparently just shape-shifter magic users & not particularly gifted with "Sight" or any such other power); and, again, the Seer characters are either so one-dimensional (the evil villain, insert wicked laugh here) or so underdeveloped (a visiting character who makes little more than a cameo appearance) that the concept does little to distinguish Rogers' book from all the other paranormal romances out there.Don't get me wrong, reading this wasn't a complete waste of my time, or I'd not have read it through to the predictable ending. It was an okay little piece of brain candy. I just wish other readers would not equate this and other romance novels with urban fantasy just because there's werewolves & magic & stuff.

For some reason I went into reading this one expecting a plot heavy on the romance and was pleasantly surprised to find that this book is just as heavy on the action, plot, and character building. I love it when an author surprises me.The story is about Mackenzie who is on the run from some crazy shifters looking to use her for her body. While on the run she falls into a web of really cool people who convince her the supernatural is real and give her an unexpected support system. Jackson Holt takes a liking to her immediately and will do whatever he needs to keep her safe.The story arc is reminiscent of a paranormal romance.... girl is in trouble, our hero must use his super powers and super friends to save her. But, in this story our heroine isn't weak or waiting around to be saved and our hero doesn't expect her to sit back in a safe corner and wait it out. I found the characters to be honest. The dialogue between them was easy and free flowing. The relationship was realistic, a nice mix of playful flirting with sincerity. Jackson is funny and sexy, protective without being overbearing.The plot of Crux builds quickly. The book is action packed and I had a hard time finding stopping points so I could get some much needed sleep! There is an atypical twist in the plot three quarters of the way through. After it I thought for sure we were getting an ending and the "Big Bad" would continue to haunt us in the next book, but instead the story keeps going! Because of this small twist in plot sequence, the story loses a bit of momentum and I felt the true ending was smidge anti-climatic. Not overly so, and definitely not enough for me to dislike it.In Crux Moira Rogers has built a strong supernatural world with an exciting plot and realistic characters. With as much as I enjoyed the interactions between Mackenzie and Jackson, I am looking forward to the next books in the series! There were so many intriguing side characters introduced in this group of friends... only more good stories can come after this!

Aleo Moira Rogers' Crux was one of those books I picked up on a whim: offered for free, first in a series, urban fantasy/romance, which is a genre I liked. I didn't have a lot invested in it, and while it was a decent read, it didn't reach my all-time favorites list.Mackenzie Brooks is on the run from a crazy ex-boyfriend who told her she was destined to bear his child, which would save a race. She ends up in New Orleans working at a bar, where the owner is friends with Jackson Holt, a PI with paranormal leanings: He's a spellcaster. Mackenzie has to come to the realization that magic is real (and the paranormal is all around her) when Jackson looks into her past and finds out her ex-boyfriend knew more about her past than she did.I said Crux was a decent read, and by that, I mean the romance was fairly believable, and the action kept moving. There are some cute nods to previous paranormal and urban fantasy lore, and the cast of characters is varied.The reason it makes my "meh" list is that it felt a lot like reading a fanfic. Mackenzie is a total Mary Sue: unaware of her extra-special past, capable of amazing things, everyone thinks she's incredible but she's totally clueless, etc. The trope of binding someone with amazing and unique special powers is getting overused (at least three books I've read in the past year in the PNR/UF genres) and Mackenzie's stumbling entry to the world of magic is complete Mary Sue. A strong heroine she's not, and that's disappointing. I prefer a book where the princess saves herself and slays the dragon rather than needing a man (or men) to show her the way to her "inner strength."This review appeared previously on Goodreads.
