Blurb:
A midnight food run nearly gets 28-year-old Katherine O’Brian killed. She’s the only person to see the man who brutally murdered a local woman and the killer is hell-bent on making sure she doesn't talk.
Enrolled at the local community college, she meets Scott Mitchell; literally, tall, dark, and handsome. Scott left a broken engagement behind when he moved to Reno and the last thing he needs is more drama. But when he and Katherine are paired for a project, that’s what he gets. It can be very distracting when someone is out to kill your lab partner. There’s definite chemistry, but with a growing friendship and Katherine’s life in danger, romance will have to wait. Together, they’ll try to figure out what the police haven’t been able to—the identity of the killer, before Katherine is his next victim.
Scott and Katherine will face jealousy, misunderstandings, lust, and rivals, not to
mention attempted murder—and all before their first real date.
Donna's Thoughts:
Although this is book one
in MaryAnn Kempher’s Under the Moonlight mystery series, I had actually read
book two first as part of a review tour. I liked that book so much; I wanted to
read her others.
I enjoy Ms. Kempher’s writing
style; she weave’s the points of view from multiple characters throughout the
book. One of the things I like best is that the reader doesn’t always know who
the character speaking is at that point in the story. In this story, the reader
is aware of the two main characters Katherine and Scott, throughout the book,
however the other characters who have chapter’s intermingled remain a mystery
until close to the end of the story, unless the reader is able to piece it
together beforehand. This book was a great who’s who-try to figure it out
before the end story with a few twists that I really liked. What I didn’t love
so much is, having read book #2 first, I knew about part of the story line and
kept waiting for it to be told more fully, but that never happened. Not to be confusing,
but I don’t want to give anything away. Suffice it to say, part of the story
line in book two, I would have liked to see told more fully in book #1. I give
this book 4 stars and look forward to reading book 3.
