Fresh Fiction Review

Howl at the Moon

Fantasy Urban | Romance Paranormal

Noah Baker doesn't want to think that he's a man who would betray family and friends. But when the military gives him orders to collect data on The Others, Noah suddenly finds himself between a rock and a hard place. The rock being his commanding officers; the hard place being Samantha Carstairs. Samantha is PA to the Alpha of the Silverback Clan, the same group Noah is spying on undercover.

Samantha has more on her plate than she can handle when Noah arrives on the scene. Her best friend, Annie, has been doing research the results of which any number of groups would die, or kill, to acquire. Samantha has been sworn to secrecy regarding the data and against her better judgment, keeps what she knows to herself. Although she knows her Alpha will be furious with her, she gives Annie time to run a few last tests. When Annie disappears, Sam, not knowing that Noah is serving two masters, confides in him.

There are a number of paranormal romance series I really look forward to: The Breeds by Lora Leigh, Dirk and Steele by Marjorie M. Liu, Christine Feehan's the Carpathians, J. R. Ward, Catherine Spangler, Lara Adrian, Nalini Singh, Karen Marie Moning...okay, maybe quite a number of them! I added Christine Warren to the list after reading her very first book, WOLF AT THE DOOR.

HOWL AT THE MOON can be read as a stand-alone novel. There's enough backstory to bring a first-time reader up to speed, but you'll want to go back and pick up the other three. It's a series well-worth investing your precious time and cash.

SUMMARY

Noah Baker never wanted to betray The Others. But if his military commanders want him to covertly investigate a Lupine scientist—whose extraordinary research on sensory perception in werewolves could be used to develop werewolf-sharp senses in human soldiers—Noah must oblige. Even if it means deceiving the woman he desires the most.

Samantha Carstairs is the personal assistant to the Alpha of the Silverback Clan, and as best friend to the Lupine community’s most brilliant scientist, she is privy to its most dangerous secret. Noah knows that Sam will never leak the scientific research…so he must find another way to get it, while keeping Sam close. But someone else is after Sam’s secret. Who is the other spy infiltrating The Others? If their genetic secrets get into the wrong hands, all hell could break loose. Now Noah’s true loyalty is put to the test as he fights to protect The Others—and his beloved Sam—and find the imposter…before it’s too late.
