Awesome book!

Someone is determined to stop the prostitution in the French Quarter, unfortunately, they are going to extremes to do so, killing all the ladies of the night. The serial killer's style makes it apparent that when the state executed a killer, they killed the wrong man. A slayer who years ago terrorized the city is back, giving JD Damascus a new chance to avenge the wife and children he lost in the first spree.This new rash of slayings also brings Holly Jones to town, determined to rescue her best friend from the night life she herself escaped. Her quest brings her and JD together, in more ways than one. It also threatens to reveal Holly's dangerous secret. She is on the run for her life, and her new lover is the man who can set her free to begin a new life... if she continues to live, that is.***** From page one, you will be on the very edge of your seat. Thrilling is only a mild word to describle this one. Holly could easily be one of the top ten heroines of all time. Her scars have made her a force to be reckoned with, without detracting from her feminity. JD is the kind of man who makes you think of Harrison Ford or Mel Gibson. If BAD MOON RISING fails to be a best seller, the public will really be missing a bet. Reviewed by Amanda Killgore.

Bad Moon Rising is a Fantastic Read!

This is one of Ms. Sutcliffe best yet!

Couldn't Put it Down!!

This was my first Katherine Sutcliffe book and boy did i love it. It had everything I look for in a book and the only problem was didn't want to put it down but I had to!Holly Jones is back in New Orleans after four years of living on the run to help her best friend/foster sister Melissa escape a serial killer who was targeting prostitutues. Supposedly the serial killer was captured, tried and put to death for the killings but suddenly, two prositutes have turned up dead and the serial killer's signature style is to strong to dismiss.[...]P>If you like romantic suspense and/or Katherine Sutcliffe you will love this book. The chemistry between Holly and J.D. absolutely sizzles. The mystery of the killer's true identity (and many other secrets) is kept until the very end--there were so many possibilities but not one clear choice. The secondary characters are well defined and written into the story. I highly recommend this book--hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

Katherine Sutcliffe Rising

"Darkling I Listen" intrigued me with its eery atmosphere and compelling characters, and now "Bad Moon Rising" has made me a loyal fan of Katherine Sutcliffe. Sutcliffe portrays her characters so passionately that the reader not only understands the forces that drive them but feels their hurt. Holly Jones best friend is in trouble. Nothing else would draw her back to New Orleans. With noone left to turn to in the city from which she had barely escaped a few years ago Holly calls burnt out attorney J. D. Damascus. Damascus is fighting his own demons since the brutal murders of his wife and beloved children by the notorious French Quarter killer four years earlier. He reluctantly comes to the aid of this mysterious and beautiful former prostitute when he realizes that they might have a common goal- to find and stop the psychopath who murdered his family and several of Holly's former associates. The same person might now have abducted Holly's missing friend. Although a despicable child molester has been sentenced and put to death for the crime, Damascus is certain that for political purposes the wrong man has been punished. In the process of searching for a killer these two scarred souls find far more than they wanted to, but will their hidden secrets jeopardize their budding relationship as well as their lives? Here is a story that is as well plotted as it is beautifully written. I was sorry to leave these characters. I certainly look forward to the next book by Katherine Sutcliffe.

Another hit by Sutcliffe...
