In this sexy thriller from #1 New York Times bestselling author Sandra Brown, 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 boss to keep to his criticisms over the mishandling of the investigation to himself.
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, 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 enlists Detective Bowie to help her figure out what happened to Crissy and find the true culprit before he acts on the next blood moon--in four days' time.
With their jobs and their lives at risk, Bowie and Collins band together to catch the killer while fighting an irresistible spark between them that threatens to upend everything.

I’d never heard of her but now I’m her biggest fan. I actually read this during the day, when I should have been working. John and Beth are great characters, the story is compelling and the way it ends is positively amazing!!!
It was a Slow start but when it got started, it was a fast and heart stopping read. I really enjoyed Blood Moon.
Entertaining, a good story with a little twist.
Sandra Brown is an amazing, prolific writer with good characters and unique storylines. A series of young women are disappearing during “Blood Moons.” Jaded police detective Jack and true crime documentarian Beth have their hands full finding a killer in the backwoods of Louisiana.
Excellent read with a surprise ending. Characters are vivid, and the mysterious inclusion of the blood moon and numerology add a certain mystic to a crime story.

A bit of a slow start but a very enjoyable book.Sandra does not disappoint.Read it and you’ll see
I enjoyed this book. Kept you guessing. I like Sandra brown and hope to read more of her books soon
Interesting from the first. Believable characters, great plot with unexpected twists. Looking forward to more of this high quality soon.
Simply a fabulous storyline with unforgettable characters. The hunky hero is portrayed so well with a hot, sexy bod and attitude that this reader thinks Sandra Brown may have been a magical matchmaker in another life because he is the guy in my dreams. Enough said but try it, if you like a good romantic thriller then I recommend this one for you!
A great read. I have enjoyed reading all of her books.always a captivated from start to finish,enjoyed her books.read most all of tjem
Great quick read. Nice way to spend a few vacation days. OFf to the next Brown adventure! As this is my second one this week.
Brown will rope you in to this story immediately. Excellent characters and story. The evil in some people is unimaginable to normal folks. But, sociopaths don’t think like a normal person. Disillusioned, scarred, and angry cop. A production assistant who is determined to find out the truth. A sociopath who worships Luna. All these elements combine to make a compelling, powerful story that will keep you reading. Excellent story by Brown. She is a fabulous author.
Another great plot line, intrigue and romance. I really enjoyed reading this book. She is one of my favorite authors.
Great story. Twists and turns. Unexpected events. I have enjoyed all of her stories. She is a master story teller.
Great read. Hard to put down. It’s part mystery, part drama, part romance. I keep several books going but I kept coming back to this one.
Fun book with plenty of action and interesting characters. A good mystery satisfying resolved. A great read, good way to spend an afternoon.
There was a lot of twists and turns that I didn't see coming. She did a great job of making the book exciting right to the last chapter. I would suggest this book to anyone who enjoys mystery and love.
My first SB novel was Charade in 1995. I still remember the heart-racing, can’t put it down, all the twists and turns, need to get to the finish line feel of that story. I came to expect that same writing style through all of SB’s books I’ve read over the course of the last 30 years. The majority were hits; very few misses. Blood Moon was a very satisfying read, but lacked the heart-racing aspect and it took me some time to finish due to that absence. I enjoyed the storyline, the working/turned romantic relationship between the two protagonists, the didn’t see that coming aspect, and the satisfying result. It wasn’t, for my taste, one of the best I’ve read, but it definitely is one that should be read if you enjoy SB novels or thrillers.
3.5 stars rounded up. This was an interesting book. I enjoyed the two main characters and their chemistry. I liked the friendship between John and Mitch. I liked the suspense, but there was one plot point towards the end that I didn't like. (Won't mention so there are no spoilers)
Fast read and typical S. Brown, interesting concept and just enough boy meets girl to keep the story interesting. Can’t read to many of these but once is a while a great way to spend a day.
