EDGE OF THE MOON
Rebecca York
Berkley, Aug 2003, $5.99, 336 pp.
ISBN: 0425191257
Montgomery County, Maryland detective Jack Thornton works three missing people case in which he believes homicides have occurred. Graphic designer Kathryn Reynolds calls the police because her tenant Heather DeYoung has not returned home in a few days. Jack arrives to see if this disappearance is a boyfriend fling or part of his case. When Jack and Kathryn see each other for the first time, neither can breath. For Jack this is his first real awareness of a woman since a DUI driver killed his wife leaving him to raise their two preadolescent children on his own. For Kathryn this is a first.

Simon Gwynn uses many aliases and houses to incarcerate his prisoners until he is ready to sacrifice them in an ancient ritual that will soon enable him to control the energy essence Ayindral. He believes Kathryn will prove to be the key offering. As Jack falls in love with Kathryn he feels someone is playing them as puppets in a stage greater than this mortal orb, but what is he to do with the gut feeling that is almost as strong as his need to keep his cherished ones safe.

Though it takes an adjustment, readers will enjoy this paranormal romantic suspense. The story line combines fantasy with a police procedural wrapped inside a romance. The lead couple is a charming pair who must wonder if their love is real or the machinations of Ayindral. Simon is a powerful villain who cleverly hides his true identity while working on his final enchantment. Fans of a different type of tale will want to go to the EDGE OF THE MOON for an enchanting trip.
