Excellent Were Novel

I have been reading and collecting vampire/lycanthorpe novels for years, and I really enjoyed this story. It's pretty much a romance novel. Ross Marshall is a private investigator and a werewolf. While working on one of his investigations, he is badly hurt. He makes it home, but passes out. Megan Sheridan is a researcher that Ross has hired to run some genetic tests. She has no idea that these genetic tests concern the fact that Ross is a were. Megan makes a quick trip to Ross' home and discovers him unconscious on his floor. She helps him to recover and during this time feels a growing attraction to him. Ross, while also attracted to Megan is afraid to get close to her due to problems in the werewolf gene. At the same time the case Ross is investigating is becoming more dangerous and getting too close to Megan. I really enjoyed this story and the characters and I would highly recommend.

Paranormal Romance at it's Best

York has been a long-time asset to the Harlequin Intrigue Line, giving good tales for over a decade. But she really shines in a trio of "Moon" tales for Berkley. Killing Moon is sharp, fast paced and very involving, a fresh look at an old genre. Each of of the tree is amazing! Ross Marshall is a Private Investigator with the instincts of a blood hound, his abilities are beyond the norm. As Ross is tracking a serial killer, and nearly dies for he gets too close. The trail brings him to Megan Sheridan, a scientist into genetic research. She is drawn to the sexy sleuth, with no idea of his "special" talents stem from him being a werewolf - or that werewolves like wolves mate for life (hey didn't she read Susan Kinnard's books? lol). They must fight their inner worries, their fears and stop a serial killer.With vivid characters York has gone Light Years beyond Light Street and crafted a marvellous paranormal tale that keep the reader spellbound.

Yes!

Ross Marshall is both blessed and cursed by the same thing. Being a werewolf allows him to use his enhanced senses to have a successful PI career. At the same time, this genetic disorder tortures his soul. He feels that love is something that is forbidden to him, for he saw the hell it made of his parents' relationship.Meeting genetic researcher Megan Sheridan brings a dilema into his world. After Megan saves his life when he is wounded by a serial killer suspect, Ross finds himself falling for the lovely doctor. He does not want to, fearing she will be destroyed either by being caught in the crossfire of his detective work or by his paranormal life.Nothing can deny the passion that takes root in their hearts from the first moment of their meeting. Not anger, not danger can keep Megan and Ross apart. There is, though, a killer who is determined to try.***** With the suspense that drew fans to her for years writing the Light Street seris, Ms. York creates a whole new facet to the ever increasinly popular werewolf genre. Ross is not a lapdog, as some wolves turn out to be, nor is this world built on a stronly clannish system of the pack. Urban and unique, this series stands apart. ***** Reviewed by Amanda Killgore.

Killing Moon by Rebecca York

I just finishedreading "Killing Moon". Figured that it couldn't behalf bad from an author who wrote the "43 LightStreet" series (My extra special favorite series). Well this surpassed that series triple time. The setof Moon books will always have a place of honor on myshelf. This was a very exciting, fast moving and memorable book. The feelings and thoughts of the characters comes right out at you and you understand how hard it is for them to make the right decisions. I look forward to reading the rest of the series.

More twists than a corkscrew

I've been reading romance and romantic suspense for a long time, and it's gotten very difficult to surprise me. KILLING MOON, however, kept me guessing, zigging every time I thought it would zag. This is the kind of book that makes you talk to the characters out loud: "No! Oh, don't do that!" Not because they're doing something dumb, but because you know the guy with the knife is just around the corner.Then, of course, there's the romance. Ross and Megan are great characters who struggle for the happy ending they eventually find. I closed it with a happy sigh -- the very best kind. The werewolf aspect of the story is well-handled. York makes it the heart of her strong, logical romantic conflict.In all, I'm looking forward to the other books in this series. -- Angela Knight
