THE MOUNTAIN'S SHADOW
Cecilia Dominic

Reviewed by Annetta Sweetko
Posted October 4, 2013

Romance | Fantasy Urban

Dr. Joanie Fisher finds herself without a job and a lover all in one fell swoop. Her boss and boyfriend, Robert did nothing to protect her when Cabal Industries was sold and her lab had gone up in flames. The rebuilding of everything that she had been working on in finding a cure for CLS (Chronic Lycanthropy Syndrome) would have been too expensive during the merger. An inheritance comes at the perfect time but in accepting she has no idea that she is about to face THE MOUNTAIN'S SHADOW, her past and her future.

Her best friend Lonna Marconi is a private investigator and there have been a number of missing children from the Crystal Pines area near the Manor. Lonna's plan is to help her friend settle in while secretly looking for the children. She would never believe the change her own life is about to take.

Inheriting her grandfather's fortune and Wolfsbane Manor came as a surprise and welcome distraction for the mess her life was in. The easy move Joanie planned gets hair- raisingly alarming as things get more complicated as the days go by. There is so much that she doesn't understand, so much she doesn't know and so much she must learn if she is to survive.

THE MOUNTAIN'S SHADOW is a complex, sometimes chilling paranormal. Author Cecelia Dominic has you so deeply involved in this story that you cannot put it down. The romantic moments are almost non-existent but what is there is sweet and not graphic. There are a lot of twists and turns to this storyline, and at a few points you find yourself wondering if there are any good guys to the plot. To be honest, I did find it a little too complicated for a quick read, but this is a good book from a different angle in the paranormal world. If you are looking for something different give THE MOUNTAIN'S SHADOW a try.

SUMMARY

Some mistakes can literally come back to bite you. The Lycanthropy Files, Book 1 First it was ADD. Then pediatric bipolar. Now the hot behavioral disorder in children is CLS, or Chronic Lycanthropy Syndrome. Public health researcher Joanie Fisher was closing in on the cause in hopes of finding a treatment until a lab fire and an affair with her boss left her without a job. When her grandfather leaves her his multimillion-dollar estate in the Ozarks, though, she figures her luck is turning around. Except her inheritance comes with complications: town children who disappear during full moons, an irresistible butler, and a pack of werewolves who can’t seem to decide whether to frighten her or flirt with her. Joanie’s research is the key to unraveling the mysteries of Wolfsbane Manor. However, resuming her work means facing painful truths about her childhood, which could result in the loss of love, friendship, and the only true family she has left. Warning: Some sexy scenes, although nothing explicit, and adult language. Also alcohol consumption and food descriptions that may wreck your diet.
