BETTER OFF UNDEAD is Book 2 in Cynthia Eden's Blood and
Moonlight paranormal trilogy. In this installment in
the
Blood and Moonlight series, an unidentified werewolf
appears to be the bad guy in need of being put to
justice. However, in this perilous paranormal world of
Cynthia Eden's, nothing is as it appears to be. The night
comes alive in BETTER OFF UNDEAD with all manner of
furred, fanged, or magical beings—both good and evil,
along with everything in between.
With an out-of-control werewolf using New Orleans as his
hunting ground, and a potential threat from a new
vampire, the excitement and level of danger is ramped up
to an insane degree. The third threat comes from Jane
herself, since she is a vampire-in-waiting and a possible
ticking time bomb. The tension waiting to see if
everybody's worst fears are realized about Jane adds an
interesting dimension to an already fascinating story.
With so many moving pieces and shady characters, I love
how Jane and Aidan can always count on each other for
unwavering love and support.
The bond between Detective Jane Hart and her alpha
werewolf mate Aidan grow even tighter in BETTER OFF DEAD.
As with the previous book, I am struck by how having the
story told from alternating perspectives adds so much to
BETTER OFF UNDEAD. Hearing Jane and Aidan's fears and
desires make them seem more real and make me more
invested in their story. Throughout the course of BETTER
OFF UNDEAD, it quickly becomes apparent how of one mind
Aidan and Jane are. Both Aidan and Jane are equally tough
and determined to protect the ones they love most. Both
characters also want total honesty in their relationship,
but both lie by omission for what they believe to be good
reasons. One thing I love about this couple is that they
don't sweat the small stuff and don't let these lies of
omission and their mutual efforts to protect each other
obscure the deep love they have. The all-consuming love
between Aidan and Jane makes this Blood and
Moonlight
series so spectacular.
BETTER OFF DEAD is ambrosia for any paranormal romance
junkie. In BETTER OFF DEAD there are almost as many
answers as there are perplexing new questions, and
intriguing new layers to favorite characters for the
reader to discover. I find well-meaning, but master of
poor execution, Garrison endearing and hope he fairs well
at the end of the series. I'm dying to see how Jane and
Aidan get their happy ending in the third installment.
Detective Jane Hart is just getting used to paranormal life
in New Orleans.
Monsters are real, and she’s the lucky cop who has to deal
with them on a
daily basis. Werewolves, vampires, witches, and demons—she
has to face
them all and keep their paranormal madness in check.
When a killer targets human men—and leaves their bodies
scattered in local
cemeteries--Jane suspects she may be looking at the crimes
of a werewolf
gone rogue. In order to hunt down the beast, Jane once again
teams up with
her werewolf lover, alpha Aidan Locke. But Aidan has been
keeping secrets
from Jane, dark secrets that will destroy her world.
Because Jane isn’t the hunter on her latest investigation.
She’s the prey. And
when a vampire attack leaves her helpless, the woman that
Jane was before
will vanish. She’ll become the one thing she fears most and
Aidan…
Her fierce lover may have to become her executioner.
