...if you want a paranormal romance with a decent plot line, a plucky heroine, and a gorgeous male who has some secrets to hide....then this is the book for you! It is number 7 in the NIGHTCREATURE series by Lori Handeland, but the first book that I have read by her. I got HIDDEN MOON ad RISING MOON, number 6 in the series, out of my local library, and if you plan on starting the series with this book then that is what I would recommend for you! If, however, you are continuing the series, then I would buy this book because it is an exciting read. It's a good mix of action, danger, mystery and romance.

The Heroine is the Major of a small town, her childhood home that she moved to the big city to escape. Something happens to her there though to make her come running back, and we find out what towards the end of the novel...needless to say she has every right to be a bit scared, and wary of men...her best friend is the local sheriff who help her with her investigations. Some Gypsies come to town to perform for the locals, and thus the Major and the hunky leader of the gypsies Malakai meet. Lust at first sight....
However, when people start going missing, and wolves start beeing spotted...trouble comes to town as well...

This novel could definitely stand alone, however I think you would benefit from reading the whole series, which starts with BLUE MOON.

If you looking for an original novel, then your going to be dissappointed, and would perhaps rate HIDDEN MOON only 3***...but I enjoyed as a good light read (despite the love and action scenes) as I was inbetween novels.
Does exactly what it says on the tin.
