I have to say that I am a supernatural geek and I do love the genre, but you will find no “sparkly teenage angst filled” anything in this book. (Incase you do not understand the reference I am speaking of it is the dreadful Twilight series which I am sure has left more than a few readers weary of the genre.) Instead Nene Adams creates a supernatural mystery with a suggestion of romance in Barking at the Moon. The prose is engaging with unique dialects and witty one-liners that will have you laughing out loud, much to your own embarrassment. There is a sexual undertone rooted in the notion of soul mates and a possessive love. My only critique of this delightful novel is how short a read it was at only 156 pages, there are a few questions left unanswered. Presumably and hopefully they are left open on purpose for a sequel, which I would buy the moment it became available.
Annalee Crow is left to take up the role of Sherriff in her hometown after her beloved father is mysteriously murdered. Annalee has little time to spend on her father’s case as the body of well-respected preacher is found only a few weeks after his disappearance. The higher ups want answers, but the further she digs the more the facts draw her to the wolves that roam the woods. Through her investigation she finds lust, love, and a new family to fill the emptiness of her life. The novel promises, “love, murder, and things that howl in the night”, you will not be disappointed.
