Customer Reviews

Fascinating characters

One of my favorite of the Moon series. I have read others say this book was underdeveloped, but I disagree. Yes, the main characters, Johnny Marshall (one of my favorite of the Marshall men), and Olivia Woodlock, fall in love quickly. Has no one had love at first sight in their books? Doesn't intense situations seem to make emotion heightened? What can be more sensitive than the theft of an artifact that can heal a family - or break it apart? And the villian... this is a truly twisted villian, with just enough realism to make you wonder if someone like this is next door to you. I enjoyed this book and I think most others will, too.

Couldn't put it down!

It was hard to put this down and go to sleep in the middle of the night, but I made myself. It was nice having more of it to linger over the next day. This is the best of York's wolf books so far. Don't miss it!

Crimson Moon is a great read

Crimson Moon focuses on the 'black sheep' of the Marshall family, a 'reformed' troublemaker who now supports environmental reform with his talents as a master thief. If you love bad boys and werewolves, the hero in this book is to die for. A great read, suspenseful and exciting. I stayed up until after midnight to finish it.

Romantic suspense at its best

The fourth book in York's werewolf series, Crimson Moon not only lives up to the first three books but surpasses them. The reader is treated to a well-balanced blend of romance, suspense, and the paranormal--and York makes it look easy. A terrific read.

An enjoyable werewolf romance

In Baltimore werewolf Johnny Marshall drinks in a seedy bar when he gets into a brawl with bikers. He wakes up in the hospital with only pain reminding him he still lives. However, he overhears several bikers discuss framing him for killing one of them though he is innocent. Instead of waiting around he flees westward changing his name to Sam Morgan and vowing to do good deeds. Sam becomes an eco-thief causing problems for environmental abusers. His current target is lumber baron Wilson Woodlock who is devastating Washington State. At a party Wilson hosts that Sam crashes, he meets his target's daughter Olivia who somehow can sense his presence even when he uses his werewolf powers to hide. When Sam goes to commit an act against Wilson, Olivia and her brother Colin catch him. They hire him to find a stolen artifact that if not returned to their family means death for the Wilsons. As Sam begins his assignment, he knows Olivia is his soulmate, but to persuade her of that will prove difficult once he reveals his true roots. This is an enjoyable werewolf romance starring two likable protagonists though Johnny's conversion from bad dude to heroic eco-avenger seems too quick and easy. Still the story line is loaded with action, suspense and an especially enjoyable romance as Sam has to find a way to convince Olivia they belong together after he reveals his animal nature. Sub-genre readers will appreciate this fine paranormal tale and hope for a sequel starring an interesting secondary protagonist. Harriet Klausner
