THE BOOK: Son of the Moonless Night, The Turning Stone Chronicles, book three Genre – Urban Fantasy, Paranormal Suspense Romance Heat Level - Sensual THE BLURB: Owen Todd Jordan Riley has a secret. He’s a shape shifter who has been hunting and killing his own kind. To him the only good shifter is a dead shifter. Revenge for the death of a friend motivates him, and nothing stands in his way . . . except Katrina Romanovski, the woman he is falling in love with. Deputy coroner Katrina Romanovski has a secret, too. She hunts and kills paranormal beings like Owen. At least she did. When she rescues Owen from an attack by a werebear she is thrust back into the world she thought she’d left. Determined to find out what Owen knows about the bear, she begins a relationship meant to collect information. What she gets is something quite different-love with a man she suspects of murder. Can she reconcile his deception and murderous revenge spree and find a way to redeem him? Or will she condemn him for the same things she has done and walk away from love? THE EXCERPT: A crash in the alley stopped Katrina Romanovski mid-stride. Like the October mist swirling in off the lake, her gypsy blood stirred sending her intuition into high gear. Something unnatural was happening. THE REVIEW: This was definitely an interesting, suspense filled story with plenty of side characters, and twists and turns to keep you entertained for an afternoon or evening of reading. I enjoyed this paranormal story from C.D. Hersh. They dropped me into the action right at the start and I found myself curious as to where Owen came from and wanted to know more about what he was trying to accomplish throughout the story and why. Kat (Katrina Romanovski that is) is a great counter part to him, with her FBI background and her quick thinking. The fact that she's a hunter doesn't hurt either, especially considering the fact that she falls for one of the supernatural beings she's supposed to be hunting. No problem. Right? Owen isn't your typical supe though. He's on a mission of revenge for whoever killed his buddy Roc. So in a way, he's hunting things too. Things a lot like him. You'd think he'd be primal to a fault, but he's not, most of the time. And he's so sweet with Kat (what criminal cleans and returns the things they've stolen?) that I smiled many times over during their interactions. I'm not surprised she found herself tripping head over heels for this guy. I liked the fact that the story wasn't just about Kat and Owen, also. There are plenty of people to get attached to in Son of the Moonless night, and plenty of questions to keep you guessing what's what and who to trust throughout the book. Thanks to C.D. Hersh for a complimentary copy to read and review.
