"This series is a definite keeper!"
This is the third novel in the series, though there is a
short story, Red Moon Rising, in an anthology called
Stroke
of Midnight. In Dark Moon we meet another of the Jäger-Suchers, but
this
time Dr. Elise Hanover is not of the kick ass type as her
predecessors though she does possess a dry wit and sharp
mind and she is keeping a dark secret. Dr. Elise Hanover has been working on a antidote for
werewolfism for years and when FBI agent Nic Franklin, the
man she loved and left years ago, shows up asking
uncomfortable questions, her lab is firebombed and a very
dangerous test subject escapes. The only way to save Nic
and herself is to head for Fairhaven Wisconsin, where the
Jäger-Suchers, Jesse and Will Cadotte (Blue Moon), and
Leigh and Damien Fitzgerald (Hunter's Moon) are currently
investigating some strange disappearances involving lots
of
blood but no bodies. Nic Franklin is full of questions regarding Elise's work
and why she disappeared all those years ago and is not
inclined to be run out of town by Edward even when Nic's
FBI superiors call him off. Something strange is going on
and Nic is determined to stay with Elise until he figures
it out. When Elise is forced to reveal her dark secret, it's met
with understandable suspicion from most of the other
members of the team, and once again Elise feels like an
outsider. Elise never stopped loving Nic and when things heat up
between them Nic discovers the depth of the feelings she
had for him and her reluctance to admit him into her life
again. This series is a definite keeper, terrific witty repartee,
interesting plot lines, well developed characters, some
really funny lines and well done intimate scenes,
excellent
continuity, just an all over great book in a great series. Courtesy: Eternal Night
