Thoughts:
Crisis Point, a popular true crime TV show is about to air
an episode on the case of Crissy Mellin, a girl who went missing three years
earlier and was never found. Beth Collins, a producer for the show, thinks Crissy
is only one of several women taken and that the perpetrator is motivated by the
Blood Moon, which is set to reappear in four days. Beth flies to Louisianna to meet
with John Bowie, one of the detectives on the case, and see if she can prevent
the next abduction.
John isn’t too thrilled with Beth at first, but he’s been
haunted by Crissy’s case and the incidents that happened around it. With the
spotlight on the case again, John’s corrupt boss warns him to keep his mouth
shut on the matter, but John doesn’t want another girl to suffer the same fate
and so he reluctantly works with Beth. There’s an attraction brewing between
them from the start!
I’ve enjoyed Sandra Brown’s twisty mysteries for some time now,
so I was excited to pick up Blood Moon. Romance and suspense combined in just
the right amounts to make for a thrilling read! Fast-paced, short chapters hooked
me from the start! Both Beth and John had to work against their respective bosses.
Beth is trying to put the brakes on the show airing because of the discrepancies
they discover, but John’s boss and henchmen held more of an urgent threat! I
listened, riveted until the end!
Kyf Brewer did an excellent job narrating the story! His
rough, masculine voice was perfect for John and I liked his performance of Beth’s
voice, as well! His narration definitely enhanced my enjoyment of the story!

Book Description:
#1 New York Times bestselling author Sandra Brown returns with a sexy thriller where an unruly detective and an ambitious tv show producer work against the clock to prevent another young woman from disappearing before the next blood moon—while trying to resist the attraction between them.
Detective John Bowie is one misstep away from being fired from the Auclair Police Department in coastal Louisiana. Recently divorced and slightly heavy-handed with his liquor, Bowie does all that he can to cope with the actions taken (or not taken) during the investigation of Crissy Mellin, a teenage girl who disappeared more than three years prior. But now, Crisis Point, a long-running true crime television series, is soon to air an episode documenting the unsolved Mellin case. Bowie has been instructed by his unscrupulous boss to keep to himself his grievances and criticisms over the mishandling of the investigation.
Beth Collins, a senior producer on Crisis Point, knows what classifies as a great story and when there’s something more to be told. After working on the show for seven years researching, fact checking, and editing dozens of episodes, Collins is convinced that Crissy Mellin’s disappearance was not an isolated incident. A string of disappearances of teenage girls in nearby areas have only one thing in common: They took place on the night of a blood moon. In a last-ditch effort to find out the truth, Beth leaves New York City for Louisiana to enlist Detective Bowie in helping her figure out what happened to Crissy and find the true culprit before he acts on the next blood moon—in four days’ time.
At the risk of their jobs and lives, Bowie and Collins band together to identify and capture a canny perpetrator, while fighting an irresistible spark between them that threatens to upend everything.
