Book Review of Dead after Dark: Shadow of the Moon / The Story of Son / Beyond the Night / Midnight Kiss Goodbye

Dead after Dark: Shadow of the Moon / The Story of Son / Beyond the Night / Midnight Kiss Goodbye
reviewed Very uneven on
Helpful Score: 2


I am normally a fan of J.R. Ward but The Story of Son which I really bought the book for - is an odd, odd story with ends hanging all over the place - who is this guy's father? Why is the butler evil? Locked up for 50 some years???? By his mother???? It's strange for a lot of reasons plus really long hair on a guy is just off-putting for me. While this book is obviously placed on the "fringe" of her usual setting of Caldwell, N.Y., it is like a bad, fan fiction knock-off of her usual full-length novels.

The other stories are forgetable.
