Bitter Moon

The Huntress/FBI Thrillers, Book 4

De: Alexandra Sokoloff

Narrado por: R.C. Bray

FBI agent Matthew Roarke has been on leave, and in seclusion, since the capture of mass killer Cara Lindstrom - the victim turned avenger who preys on predators. Torn between devotion to the law and a powerful attraction to Cara and her lethal brand of justice, Roarke has retreated from both to search his soul. But Cara's escape from custody and a police detective's cryptic challenge soon draw him out of exile - into the California desert and deep into Cara's past - to probe an unsolved murder that could be the key to her long and deadly career.

Following young Cara's trail, Roarke uncovers a horrifying attack on a schoolgirl, the shocking suicide of another, and a human monster stalking Cara's old high school. Separated by sixteen years, crossing paths in the present and past, Roarke and fourteen-year-old Cara must race to find and stop the sadistic sexual predator before more young women are brutalized.

Good Read

Good story and GREAT narrator!! I loved the narrator mostly as he brought this story Alive!
Thank you! The story is true to life and makes the reader happy that this horrible wrong is being sought after by those who will risk their lives for the cause...!

Great read and great narration..

I wasn’t all that thrilled with the last book in this series, Cold Moon, but this one was my favorite so far. I wasn’t sure how I’d feel about the chapters being first about Cara then the next one about Roarke through the entire book but it turned out great. The Cara chapters were about the 14 year old girl and when she started killing, who she killed and why. Roarke’s chapters were him finding out little by little about what Cara’s friends, Ivy and Laura, who both died, and what happened. And his hunt for two partners who were rapists, and had been for 16 years.

This was a really great addition to the series. I’m moving on to book 5, Hunger Moon, supposedly the final book but you never know.

No sex and the F-bomb was used 24 times.

As to the narrator: R.C. Bray’s gotten better with each book. I enjoyed his voices, both male and female, and his emotions when he read.

Good Read and Satisfying

A good continuation of the series and a feeling of satisfaction at the end despite the horrible things It does.

Best to listen to this series in order written

The Huntress/FBI Thrillers series takes on the issue of child rape in a rather unique way. The protagonists are Cara Lindstrom, a victim who becomes an avenger, and FBI Agent Matthew Roarke. Bitter Moon is the 4th novel n the series. The novels in this series are stand alone in that none end in a cliffhanger situation, but each provides background important to the next one. Narrator RC Bray does a superb job which is the norm for him. I VERY HIGHLY RECOMMEND the 4 novels in this dark suspense series; however, I do not recommend this author's other novels.

Great background

It you have read the first 3 books, this one helps you understand the protagonist better. Also the authors afterward is worth reading.

Best yet

Number 4 of 5 and the best yet. Giving essential background info on Cara's teen years. Amazingly done as Roarke solves yet another puzzle.

Riveting Surprising Challenging on many levels. <br />

Fourth book in the Cara/Huntress series is compelling. I suggest reading the books in order for greater enjoyment although all merit as good reads as Stand Alone novels in themselves.

I love the mystery/thriller genre and am delighted to find intelligent clever writers - and assure you every one of the four books are just that and more.

All four books are well worth purchasing.

Monsters Are Real

A worthwhile series... The first 3 books were good, this one hit it outta the park... On the way to getting more insight on Cara and her evolution we are confronted w/ many coincidences between the present day and the past... We find ourselves wondering if Cara is actually delusional,schizophrenic, or perhaps tapped into some deeper truth and reality??? Whether gifted, disturbed, or something else all together... It's indeed tantalizing... The connections in time are well done, and the mystery is a dandy, keeping you guessing all along the way... Some sneaky red herrings and some teases to the continuing storyline keeps one's imagination at high rev, simultaneously disturbing w/ some very discomfiting social issues... Warning, if you have a problem w/ material concerning abuse and exploitation of children you might want to skip... Otherwise you'll be gripped and engaged fully... The narration is good, but to me doesn't quite fit the voice(s) of the story... Regardless though, it is good... Definitely worth the freight, and very much looking forward to the author continuing to improve upon the story;).

wonderful story of horrific tragedy

These 4 books have been spectacular reads. I barely was able to stop listening. Then there was the post script. Hard to hear and even harder to comprehend that such "people" exist. Go Cara.

Excellent addition to the Huntress Moon series...

This is such a good book, I am actually a little surprised. Based on the description I really wasn't sure what to expect. To me the description sounds like there is some sort of communication between the past and present. There's not.
Anyway, the actual story is that Matthew Roarke, (the investigator on leave because of Cara) begins an in depth look into her beginnings trying to get a clear understanding of her past. At the same time he's doing this you get the narrative of her her past in her words as he discovers her reality. The two converge towards the end. I will not spoil this for anyone, it worth the listen.
For people who are fascinated with this series as I am, this book is very enlightening as gives much background info how this woman's personality was formed.
For anyone who has never read/listened to any of the Huntress Moon series I would recommend that they be listened to in order. Each book builds on the previous and there is carryover from one to the next that can't be appreciated otherwise.
R C Bray narrates this book as well as the others in this series. If you've never listened to him before he is GREAT! I initially found this series when searching for books that he narrated.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
