In "Dark Moon" Dr. Elise Hanover spends all her time alone in a research facility trying to find a cure that would eradicate lycantrophy. Test subjects, volunteers from prison, are housed in the basement behind bars. Her most notorious convict is Billy Bailey, a vicious murderer. Along comes FBI agent Nic Franklin, an old boyfriend of Elise's. As they step outside to see why the caged wolves are howling the facility blows up. The adventure starts...
This book is fast paced, fun to read, and has a romantic slant. With Elise and Nic on the run, the chase is on away from the group who wants to stop the research and away from Bill Bailey who managed to escape and has revenge on his mind. The chase is also on for Nic who is determined to win Elise back.
Great continuation of this werewolf series. Dark Moon focuses on Elise Hanover the scientist briefly mentioned in the two previous books. The book explores her character and her relationship with Edward. Of course, the doom of werewolf apocalypse craziness is there too. A few steamy scenes but not quite as Skinamax as the previous books.
Currently 4/5 Stars.

Great book! Elise came across as an ice princess in the previous book, but here she's funny as hell and she holds her own alongside crazy Jessie and hard-core Leigh. Great ending, too.
I've read to books in this series and as I don't mind fluff....this is weightless fluff. Plot devices abound.....characters are about as deep as a puddle....I think that bothers me more than anything else. I love good characterizations.
