Dark Moon by Lori Handeland


This is the third instalment of the Moon series by Lori Handeland.
This time we get the story of the rather cold and aloof Elise, briefly shown in the previous books. She is a hardcore scientist trying to find a cure for the werewolves.
Now we will know more about her, understand her story and her troubled past, as well as her relationship with the boss, who turns out, is more to her than just a boss. And of course, very early on in the novel we understand that she is a werewolf herself. No wonder she is so hell-bent in finding a cure!

Just as she meets after several years her long lost love, NIck, her compound is blown to bits and she has to run for her life. Nick, now an FBI agent, acompanies her to Fairhaven, where her boss and other team members are located currently. Fairhaven is the place where suddenly a lot of people go missing, with no traces at all, except for some blood on the floor, so the Jagersucher team is searching for clues...

If you've read the previous two novels, you will be on very familiar grounds with this novel, as the stories sort of repeat themselves, for the series veterans there are no major surprises. But if you have never read the series, I recommend you pick it up, even starting from this book. Each book is standalone and you don't need to have read the previous ones. However for the sake of continuity in the storyline and to understand better the interaction between the people, I recommend you start from the first book, Blue Moon.
