Everything can change in a heartbeat.Hunter Roswell thought she had left her past behind. But her carefully structured world starts to fall apart when a serial killer connected to her past emerges from the shadows and begins stalking her. Already responsible for the deaths of five women, the killer now has Hunter firmly in his sights. And he’s picked a target date - the night of October’s full moon - also known as the blood moon or hunter’s moon.
Sara Wilder, a psychologist and former FBI profiler, is brought in to help Hunter unravel the connection between her past and a ruthless killer. But as the search for the killer intensifies, both women find themselves struggling with an unexpected and undeniably mutual attraction. In a race against time, can they survive a killer who is willing to use anything - even love - to further his own agenda?

"Outsmarting the Serial Killer, Finding Romance"
Hostage Moon is a mysterious, fun, and engaging investigative drama. I was hooked by the punchy prose, whip-smart plotting, and strong women characters.
A successful, beautiful woman wakes in a dark alley in a pool of her own blood to learn that she is being toyed with and hunted by a serial killer from her past. She receives aid from an ex-FBI psychologist with problems of her own. The two find they have an undeniable mutual attraction. Will they be able to evade and catch the creepy psycho-villain, and find love at the same time?
An entertaining listen.
"Perfect story, perfectly read"
I had already read the book, but listening to it gave me a new appreciation for the writing and flow of this book. I absolutely loved it.
This writer had a mature, elegant vocabulary and the reader nailed it.
Perfect. Love her voice.
I highly recommend this book.
"Lacking"
I too was enticed by the beginning on the story but it quickly became mundane. Hunter was a character that I felt could have been developed into so much more. Sara was flat. Both characters were like able but neither made you want to go the extra mile. The pace of the romance was unrealistic and the backstory, felt contrived. I would give the author another shot because the premise of the book was good.
"Strong Beginning Wasted"
I was entranced by the first half of this audiobook. This was despite the characters inside this selection; outside of Hunter; were thinly drawn. Unfortunately the story collapsed under the weight of plot contrivances in the second part of this work. In the true nature of the romance writer the romance moves at the glacial pace that reflected an earlier era rather than the hook-up culture of the modern era.
In the end I can't recommend this selection. A.J. Quinn is a talented writer. However she needs to speed up the storyline if she is going to make a successful transition from Romance writer to the Mystery/ Thriller genre.
"Hostage Moon"
Probably not
The events leading up to the true identity of the stalker.
When the two lovers finally were intimate.
"Nothing to do with werewolfes!"
Way differant then what I was thinking it was going to be about!
I thought this book had great suspence and thriller parts.
reader was good, boys sounded like boys and girls sounded like girls.
I like the romance books, all differant kinds. Although this book was way differant than what I usually listen too. Girl on Girl, I do have to say that I was suprised, but a little interged about how it would all play out and how it would be differant from man and women to girl and girl. So I contiued listening to this book. In my opinion it was harder for me to get the visual in my head then it should have. Although I have listen to a book that was guy and guy. I would have to say that visual was even harder.
I spend my hard earned money on these audio books and find it very dissapointing that we as listeners are only allowed to return on a one time thing.
I try to keep an open mind on all the books that I listen to cause I can not return them.
I will say to myself and others make sure you read between the lines more closely or you will end up listening to something you really don't want to know about.
"not that good."
This story is kinda disappoint. Story line is boring and lack of the chemistry between two main characters. It doesn't interesting as it describes in synopsis.
"Great stalking mystery"
It was exciting. It builds background info on the characters and why they are they way they are
The tension and love between the two women.
fist read, but enjoyable
Yes, though it was very predictable and an easy read.
Easy read, predictable from the very beginning, but still really good.
rambunctiously soft spoken.
"Hostage Heart"
I am not a reader in general ,hence the audio books so I don't really have anything to compare this particular book with ,I enjoyed it very much, a little cliche a traumatized tormented woman ,battling her demons and though the dark haze Sarah a physiologist coming to her rescue ,will they wont they read it and find out ,
