Since the death of her fiance, Leigh has avoided men and focused her attention on hunting down the white werewolf that murdered everyone she loved. show more But Damien awakens something in her that she thought had died with her former life. However, there is something about him that is not quite right. Leigh soon fears that Damien may be the thing she has devoted her life to destroy.

Hunter's Moon is the second book in Lori Handeland's Nightcreature series. The story is suspenseful with fascinating characters. Leigh is a strong, clever, kick-butt heroine. I enjoyed the tense relationship between Leigh and Jessie. I do feel like Damien was a bit short-changed as the "hero" in this book; the secondary characters, Jessie and Will (Jessie's sexy, bookish boyfriend), get about as much attention as Damien does. The story is full of sexual tension with very hot love scenes, but I wouldn't say romance is a big focus. Though part of a series, this book could be read stand-alone, but I highly recommend reading Blue Moon first to hear Jessie and Will's story. I really enjoyed Hunter's Moon, and I am looking forward to reading the next in the series. show less

I was expecting more out of this book because I liked the first one in this series (Blue Moon) so much. I think that this book had too much sex in it. I know there was sex in the first one also but it just seemed like this one went a little overboard.

That said I still liked the story. I liked the character Leigh, she showed what I think most powerful women feel, that there is a soft side to them also (no matter how much they try to cover it up). I liked that Jessie was still a part of this book. While we didn't get to read her thoughts I still like her as a character and was happy that she was in this book also.

I will be reading the rest of the series. I think that the author is great and even though this one was a little heavy on show more making love it was still well written. Great character development and good story line. show less

Leigh Tyler used to be a kindergarten teacher but on one terrible day things all changed. Everything she thought has changed and she's now spending her time hunting the supernatural and werewolves are her particular prey. She's been called to Wisconsin for something big, there's a lot of death being dealt and it looks like a werewolf. However now she has to face up to some of her issues and learn to live again.

It's not a bad story, doesn't really stand out from the herd for me, but isn't bad. Diverting but nothing that really made me go wow.

Ok, but seemed like a bit more of the same: tough chick and the guy who loves her enough to put up with her crap.
