Ghost Moon

The scenes concerning the evil-doer are almost too much to take. I admit to needing to skip them after the second one. Admittedly, for me personally, children or animals in peril are anathema. For those who are squeamish like me, you can still enjoy and follow the plot without reading the gruesome bits. The main story line of coming home again and reconnecting with family is wonderful. I have read several Karen Robard's books now and find she excels at relationships. Also, at writing creepy antagonists so well you cringe. This one read very smoothly. The romantic interest wasn't rushed. The dialog is crisp and the romance sultry. I agree with one other reviewer about a rushed ending. I actually checked out how many pages I had left at one point wondering how they could wrap it all up. It is still a most satisfying read, rushed ending and all. I really like the two young children and the main character Olivia's interaction with them. Gave the story a little something extra than the usual romance plus suspense equation. It concludes with a "puts a smile on your face" wonderfully mushy ending.

After reading two of Karen Robard's books, I was not completely sure if I would like Ghost Moon , or not. To me, though, it was reminicsent of some of the Phyllis Whitney books I used to read so much. It was an excellent read!! I applaud Karen Robards on this fine story. I just wish all of her books were that enjoyable.

Author Robards ("The Midnight Hour" and "The Senator's Wife") has penned her most macabre epic to date with this set in Louisiana tale of Olivia Morrison's return to family home and fearsome foes. In addition, unexpected emotions are reawakened when she confronts Seth, her older stepcousin, to whom she is once again drawn. Reader Dean Robertson is appropriately chilling as he relates the 20 year old murders of little girls the same age as Olivia's daughter.

I loved this book! Olivia and Seth's love story blew me away! I thought Sara, Olivia's daughter, was a delight, and I really liked the way she bonded with Seth. When the mystery began to involve Sara, it was spine-tingling! The end was so suspenseful that I stayed up until three a.m. finishing the book, when I had to get up and go to work the next day! Give me more like this!
