A Big Disappointment
Rating:
1 / 5
why is this the second book in a werewolf based series? ross was only a suporting charater and really only a tool the author used to bridge the gaps in the story so she could get back to the smut.. as a werewolf fan and not a romance fan i wished i just skipped this book and gone straight to the 3rd book. i've read all 3 books already and you can safely skip the second book and go to the 3rd and not miss much at all. the 3rd basically fills you in enough about the second book that even if she writes a forth with charaters from the second book you could still understand everything.
So-so paranormal romantic suspense...
Rating:
2 / 5
There is a woman missing, and Detective Jack Thornton has taken on the job to find her. He hadn't anticipated all of the strange things that occur after he takes on the case. There seems to be more than meets the eye. He also hadn't anticipated falling for Kathryn Reynolds -- the missing woman's landlady. Things become all the more complicated when Jack protects Kathryn from a demon who has chosen her for a ritual sacrifice that will enable him to have supernatural powers beyond imagination. People have gone missing, and Jack has to find the demon responsible for the disappearances while fighting intense feelings for Kathryn. There are some twists throughout the novel.
Edge of the Moon is better than Killing Moon in that there are more paranormal elements in this one than in the first novel. However, this novel, like the first one, has also failed to spark my interest. The plot is romantic and suspenseful, but the paranormal side of the story comes across as filler at times. Perhaps I got that impression because I am used to reading flat out sci-fi/fantasy novels and not novels that throw in said elements as a subgenre. The novel would have been great had it been a simple romantic suspense. Werewolves, demons and magic work well when the storyline in general is centered on said things. I know many romance writers use supernatural subplots to add pizzazz to what would otherwise be a standard, run-of-the-mill story. Some authors pull it off because they are able to blend all genres well together, but York is not one of them. York fans will probably hate this review, but I am always honest about the stuff that I read, even if others don't agree with me.
I liked it!

This is the first time I have read anything by this writer. A friend gave me this book as a birthday gift. I liked it. It is a little different genre than I am used to but like I said, I liked it!
