Denise Vitola

I loved this book. It dumped me in the middle of futuristic London without explanation which is one of my favorite techniques. Narration is done in first person which allows the narrator to sass and give opinions. It worked really well for the story. It has a splash of gore, romance, and political shenanigans that make it fun to read.

I'll probably look for more books by Ms.Vitola

District Marshall Ty Merrick, afflicted with lycanthropy, and her partner LaRue return in this fourth book of 21st century gone awry. It is filled with lots of mixed metaphors, strange plotlines, and everything that normally would make a reader cringe--but Denise Vitola brings it all together in a dark, disturbing, and oddly humorous tale that leaves you wanting more.
I wasn't expecting to enjoy this as much as I did - just goes to show that you shouldn't judge a book by it's cover!
The show more book stands alone very well, but you would be missing all the earlier fun and adventures if you don't also read QUANTUM MOON, OPALITE MOON, and MANJINN MOON. show less

MANJINN MOON is the perfect blending of mystery and science fiction with a few paranormal elements sprinkled on top of the exciting story line. show less

This book was a surprisingly enjoyable find. The plot seemed a tad convoluted at times, but I found myself easily getting sucked into the dystopian world Vitola created. I will definitely be hunting for more books by this author!
