Howling success

With her follow-up to Killing Moon, Rebecca York continues her exploration of the world she has created and expands upon it. The main focus in this book is on police Detective Jack Thornton and a beautiful woman who reported her roommate missing - which roommate is later found dead, killed by a vicious serial murderer who is now focused on Jack's new-found love. I hate to say more so as to avoid ruining the suspense, so I'll leave it at that - just add my accolades. The pacing was terrific, the plot keep me turning pages and the characters were well-written and believable. I plan to keep going on this series as I can. It is terrific.

bang-on paranormal tale by talented writer

I think I have read everything Rebecca York wrote for the Harlequin Intrigues line - and continue to do so - and she's never failed to keep me turning page after page. However, with her Moon series for Berkley, she crafts stunning tales of werewolves with a skill that provides goosebumps! Graphics designer Kathryn Reynold's neighbour vanishes, but she is beginning to see this is a sinister patterns for others has gone missing, too. An old lady, then a child, later a teenage boy. What could their disappearances have in common? However, when she meets detective Jack Thornton, she has other things on her mind as well, because the attraction to him is nearly overwhelming. And the attraction is the same on Jack's part. He thought he was responding to a routine call of a missing person, so he never expected to run into the wall of emotions evoked by Kathryn. The dreams they begin sharing are so intense, they nearly shatter his control. But as the dreams intensify, he comes to sense another presence, one who is manipulating both Kathryn and him. As the cat and mouse game whre a killer is upping the odds, Jack fears Kathryn might be the next victim. It's tense, dark and brooding and right on target!! Second in the Moon series for York and is a must for paranormal fans.

Oh yes!

Werewolves are hardly the most frightening denizens of the night. Far more sinister beings have haunted the mortal world from time immemorial. In EDGE OF THE MOON, Rebcecca York reminds readers of that.As people begin vanishing, Detective Jack Thornton, from KILLING MOON, investigates. Meeting Kathryn Reynolds sends something tingling through his senses. Time stops as they are drawn to one another. Their lives and dreams begin to intertwine, but those same dreams could pose a danger to them. Forces from beyond this world are seeking entrance, and two lovers are the only thing that stand between a dimensional collision and all Hell literally breaking loose.***** Though this book is a sequel to the previous one, it stands alone easily. With high sensuality and suspense, Ms. York continues to build an enticing world of strangely familiar and altogether new myth. ***** Reviewed by Amanda Killgore
