Publisher's summary

Susan Michaels was once the hottest reporter on the Beltway Beat until a major scandal ruined her life and left her writing stories about alien babies and Elvis sightings. Life as she once knew it is over, or so she thinks until she gets a lead on the biggest story in town: The Seattle Slayer. She heads to the local animal shelter, expecting a tip on the latest rash of killings. Instead, she gets a story about the mayor feeding citizens to a ring of vampires. Yeah, just another day in her life.

Then she gets talked into adopting a cat she's allergic to. Her first thought is to neuter the cat. But when he turns out to be a gorgeous shapeshifting man who claims to be an immortal vampire slayer she thinks: not so fast. Next thought: seek professional help.

Susan doesn't know what to believe, but as she's drawn into a paranormal world, she comes to realize that the story that could bring her credibility is too unbelievable to expose. Now it's no longer a question of bringing the truth to her readers, it's a matter of saving lives and souls, and her only ally is a man she's allergic to.

In the world of the Dark-Hunters, it's always dangerous. But never more so than when one very human woman can shatter their entire world with just one story. The only question is...will she? Dark Side of the Moon is full of Sherrilyn Kenyon's trademark sexy humor and breathtaking imagination.

Love in vein: listen to another Dark-Hunter novel.

Critic reviews

"A delicious balance of suspense and sensuality." (Publishers Weekly)
"Poignant yet action-driven romance." (Booklist)

No point in buying half a book.

I love these books but I don't see the point in Abridged. Back when it would take 10+ tapes to do an unabridged book I could see it but now with audible and cds I dont see it why we should pay for half a book when you can read the whole thing your self and not miss anything. I bought this book because I wanted the whole set from first to last but now I see that I'm still missing half a book.

What a let down. I bought the abridged version because that was all I was able to find. The editing was terrrible. There were big gaps in the story. Not worth the money

Abridged? Butchered!

I realize this is an abridged title, but after having read the hardcover prior to listening to this selection, I can honestly say that there is a huge difference between "abridged" and "butchered." Too much of the story line was left on the cutting room floor! So many aspects of the story are simply not there. A shame to do this to such a popular author as Sherrilyn Kenyon. If I find any more of her work in audible format, I hope they will be unabridged!

Narrator sucks

Well all I can say is the story is great but I found the narration is not the best she was speaking well but didn't read the whole story it had been shortened very frustrating and disappointing

Should not have been abridged

Any additional comments?

I love the Dark Hunter Series, but there is simply too much detail in each of the books to abridge one of them. I was really disappointed with how much was cut out of the story, and the narrator wasn't nearly as good as the usual one, Fred Berman. I'd recommend that you read this one, and not waste time listening to the abridged version-you'll enjoy it so much more!

Do not like the narrator

Love the book when I read it. I also love the series, but just could not get past the narrator's voice, inflection and just did not enjoy her reading of the text.

Why in the World was this book ABRIDGED???????????

Would you try another book from Sherrilyn Kenyon and/or Maggi-Meg Reed?

Sherrilyn, yes, Maggi, no

What was one of the most memorable moments of Dark Side of the Moon?

One that was not included in the audio abridged version

How did the narrator detract from the book?

She had a very annoying voice

If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from Dark Side of the Moon?

Trust me, this book has been butchered enough, and anyone who follows the series would agree that integral parts were cut from the audio. As an editor, I'd put them back...

Any additional comments?

yes, PLEASE....Re-do this audio book UNABRIDGED, with Holter Graham or Fred Burman, who have done the rest of the series....

Don't bother, get the unabridged version instead

What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?

Give the whole book instead of parts and pieces that don't make any sense put together

What do you think your next listen will be?

the full edition of this book

Would you be willing to try another one of Maggi-Meg Reed’s performances?

nope

What character would you cut from Dark Side of the Moon?

None, but you need all the information on the characters that were cut out of this version

AHHHH

Sorry, maybe the worst book Ive ever started...deleted it...I shouldn't have downloaded it. Maybe for a different mind. Couldn't get into it

Ruined!

Ruined the book cutting out so much detail!!! Audible should get the unabridged version, don't even bother with the abridged!
