Moon Shine

by S.L. Thompson

Emily Thomas has learned to accept her reality. She is a widow. She is alone. And, her life, carefully constructed so that she will never, ever run into Josh's memory again, is just fine that way. But, as Emily will soon find out, the past has a way of sneaking back in and forcing its way into the present. On her way to drop off an order to her best friend's company, Emily discovers the first of several grisly murders. All horrific. And, all eerily similar to Josh's tragic demise. Five years ago, Josh's death had made headlines in her tiny town. Murder in Prattville was rare but usually easily explained. A jealous boyfriend. Drugs. Money. Something. Josh's death had been shrouded in mystery, surrounded by flimsy theories and no proof. Emily had been left with questions, and, terrifying as the recent murders were, if there was a chance that they could be linked to Josh, she was taking it. What Emily didn't count on, and couldn't have predicted, was her unusual attraction to Samuel Bennett-the out-of-town investigator working the case. Sam is charismatic, unforgettably good-looking, and a complication that Emily doesn't have time for. Determined to ignore him and confused and guilty about her feelings for someone other than Josh, she forges ahead with her investigation, certain that she can find the killer on her own, or at least enough evidence to take to the police when the time comes. But the last thing that Sam wants to involve is the police. His involvement in the death investigation is a carefully guarded secret and Emily's hell-bent desire to find the truth on her own will make it very difficult for him to capture the beast that roams the streets of Prattville. A terror-filled visit to the scene of the crime pulls the two of them together and thrusts Emily into a supernatural rabbit hole filled with her worst terrors. When Josh returns to the party, straight from his own fresh hell and hinting at a reunion with his living wife, Emily must make a choice-should she go back to her husband or join with Sam and his band of hunters to confront the monsters that stalk her town? But Josh has his own agenda and until Emily finds out exactly what that agenda is, any choice that she makes could lead her down the wrong path, dooming her, the town, and the man she now loves.
