More About the Author

Fiction may be a constant struggle, but I have no problem being a natural-born diva, as the picture proves. This is from my opera-singing days, when I was in the chorus of several opera companies. I was never good enough to be a star, but that was okay with me -- I was happy enough to be onstage, taking on another personality and even another language, and singing away with everything I could give it. This one's a lady of questionable virtue from La Boheme. Do ya just love the hat? Read more at http://www.cheriscotch.com

4.0 out of 5 stars Easy to Read and simple story, April 11, 2001

This review is from: The Werewolf's Touch (Paperback)

I wasn't actually sure if I should give this 3 or 4 stars.. This is acutally the second book of what appears to be a loosely linked trilogy. I haven't read the first book in the set "werewolf's kiss".

I found that as a stand alone novel this was well written. The author has a clear writing style and sticks to reasonalbly simple story lines. I also found it was quite lyrical and had a bitter-sweet ending.

It's the story of the "cursed" marley werewolves. The eldest child of each generation is cursed so that on the "night of their greatest triumph" they will turn into a werewolf and start killing. Andrew Marley is the 3rd generation for this to happen to and on the night of his ordination as a preist all goes to hell.

The cover somewhat does this book a dis-service. It looks like a dyed-in-the-wool romance, but the story is in many ways more of a tragedy than a romance and I was grateful I found I was actually reading a story and not a torrid romance that simply revolves around love saving the day and sex.

If you want a "light" werewolf novel that is quick and easy to read this is reccomended.

This review is from: The Werewolf's Touch (The Voodoo Moon Trilogy, Book 2) (Mass Market Paperback)

I am not in love with the book. Too much sex. Half of the book is only about 'close relationships'. But the whole book was okay. Nothing special. Definitely will not buy 1st and 3rd books.
