Recent Reads: Killing Moon

Book: Killing Moon by Rebecca York
Genre: Paranormal Romance
Book Count: 9
>>>> Didn't I say I've been severely behind in posting my Recent Reads?

So this was the second book in Ms. York's Moon Series that I've read. Awesome. I liked it even more. This one felt even more real, more like this world could really exist within our own.

This one follows the story of Megan and Ross. Ross is Sam's cousin from Eternal Moon. Of course there is the romantic stuff, but the story of this one I found more compelling. Megan is a genetic researcher who ends up doing analysis on Ross's blood and finds far more than she's expecting. Ross is a private investigator working with the police to investigate the mysterious disappearances of several women in the area.

I don't know what about this made it more interesting for me, but although I have found that I like romances, this one felt less like a romance and more like a contemporary fiction with romance elements. Hmmm, maybe that's what Ms. York has done that's sucked me in . . .

Recent Reads: Eternal Moon

Book: Eternal Moon by Rebecca York
Genre: Paranormal Romance
Book Count: 8

I picked this book up along with Kiss of Darkness by Jennifer St. Giles. They both fall in the same genre, but feel so different. Again, I was a little leary of the whole alternate universe thing, but this is even less so than the world Ms. St. Giles has created.

Rebecca York's world is paranormal, but far more real than I expected it to be. Everyone's just like you and me, well, except some of them have powers and others turn into werewolves. In Eternal Moon, Renata is a reincarnated goddess working as a private investigator working on a case with the police to catch a murderer. The story was more than just romance and it wasn't far out enough for me to lose interest. Ms. York's work has actually pushed me to pick up another one of her books. More on that later!

So if you're interested in paranormal romance that isn't too far out there, I'd recommend starting with the Moon Series by Rebecca York. It's just enough without feeling too over the top. Imho, anyway.

Recent Reads: Kiss of Darkness

Book: Kiss of Darkness by Jennifer St. Giles
Genre: Paranormal Romance
Book Count: 7

I've recently found myself sucked back into the paranormal world. It started with some excerpts off of an agents blog and spun into my return into all things fantastical.
I've never really read romance . . . well some Danielle Steel here and there when there was an associated TV movie or something, but that aside . . . this was different.
Ms. St. Giles completely transports her readers into another world, all the while, still keeping you in this one. It was an introduction into the world of paranormal romance for me, and I have to say, it wasn't too shab. . .
