The grisly murder of a diplomat’s son in Central Park draws NYPD Detective Gerald Meeker and FBI Special Agent Andee Trakes into a twisted and confusing investigation. Within hours, the evidence indicates the man was executed in the manner saved for werewolves. Andee Trakes is assigned to liaison with a history professor who is an expert on folklore and legends.

Professor Alwyn Lloyd, handsome, articulate, and successful, not only agrees the method of death was indeed an execution, he claims to be a werewolf. Andee is torn between the desire to date the man and the suspicion to arrest him.

From the initial killing in the park, a bloody spree is ignited that soon has Andee and Lloyd forced to work together to protect themselves and family members.

Exciting story, great narrator

I received a free copy of this audio book in exchange for an honest review. I really enjoyed the story. Iit was fast-paced with likeable characters and a really interesting storyline. I read along with the Kindle version of the book. The story is about an FBI agent investigating a murder in Central Park. There are supernatural twists in the story. The story flowed well. I did find the potential romance a little frustrating with the back and forth. But I was rooting for them. I hope there is a follow up book. .I read / listened to this straight through and stayed up way too late. I had to know how it turned out. I liked the narrator and thought he did a good job with both the male and female voices. The pacing and narration added to the overall enjoyment of the book.

Interesting take on the werewolf genre

What made the experience of listening to Shadow of the Moon the most enjoyable?

Not knowing where the story was really heading was definitely enjoyable and held my attention. The narrator was really great overall.

Which scene was your favorite?

I would have to say any scene with the niece was the best! Perhaps there is a story there??

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

There were frustrating moments and funny moments!

Any additional comments?

I would have given this story five stars but I had some issues with it. One was that they revealed some things in the end that had already been revealed. I blame that on editing. This story felt fresh, and I would recommend it!

Great narration for this romance/urban fantasy

While felt like more romance than urban fantasy, the focus on relationships wasn't limited to the romance. Other important relationships featured include mother and son, surrogate uncle and niece, friends who become like sisters, a neighbor who becomes a friend, a woman and her dog, and more.

Excellent narration. I love McSorley's range and rumble.

Good, creative story

Enjoyable story, subtitle says it all. Good protagonist. A female angle on a werewolf story for sure. I recommend it. Narrator was particularly good.

Didn’t want to stop listening!

I would recommend Shadow of the Moon to anyone who likes Crime/Fantasy books. Paul J. McSorley narration was excellent there was just one character’s narration I didn’t care for.

The story was great, fast paced and kept me hooked. I would of liked more character development but that would require the book to become a series (which would be amazing).

Paranormal Romantic Thriller

I love when authors combine multiple genres like Kwen Griffeth did in this book. This whole listen was absolutely captivating from the first minute to the last. We get a combination of romance with werewolves and law enforcement as well as a rogue. All the characters are very well written and we get a good background on them. This author is new to me, but I would love to listen to more of her work because this book really impressed me. Great writing and storyline, we get twists and turns throughout but everything ties together nicely; there isn't much of a cliffhanger.

The narrator did a wonderful job in this performance. I think he really captured the tone and intensity of the characters. His voice make this excellent story into a full blown masterpiece.

Can't wait for more by this author and narrator. This one was impressive.

I received a review copy at my request and voluntarily left this unbiased review.

Shifter tale with real depth

I like shifter romance-thrillers, and this one did not disappoint. The characters and situation had real depth to it. I won't give any spoilers here, but they went into areas of a shifter society I hadn't thought about. This sure did make it interesting. It was also very unique because I hadn't seen a lot of the things done in this book in other books. The writer did a great job

The narrator also rocked. Each character sounded distinct, like a real individual. His work definitely jacked up the emotional level.

Wolf Up!

This was my first werewolf audiobook. However, not my first Kwen Griffeth book. Nor was it my first audiobook by narrator Paul J. McSorley.

This book is extremely well written and extremely well performed and produced. It took me 2.5 days to finish this one. I was wrapped up in its romance, crime and of course, werewolf folklore brought to life by the words written and performance given.

One thing...why let Miranda off the estate so often? It’s just a mess when she leaves. Lol

Many, many thumbs up! And...Wolf Up!

Wow

I did not expect to like this book and was I impressed! Fast paced, great story, and so happy this will be a series!! Both the narrator and writer did a great job to keep me from putting this down. I loved it!!

Great, Captivating Story! Great Listen🎧

“Shadow of the Moon” is a great novel, it is interesting and well written. The author, Owen Griffeth, is imaginative and creative. He is detail orientated and brings the reader into the world he is creating and captivates their mind until the very end. There is great character development and storylines. A great mixed bag of fantasy, paranormal, crime drama, mystery, suspense and romance. A fascinating take on the old werewolf legend, he kept real too. I highly recommend this book, it is enjoyable, entertaining and keeps you thinking. I hope this is not the last we hear of Andee and Alwyn, Miranda too. Owen Griffeth, thank you for this great read!

I listened to the Audible edition, Paul J. McSorley is a fabulous narrator. He performs all the voices, giving each character a distinct sound. He sets a perfect tone and pace, adds the right amount of dramatic flair to the story. He brings the story and its characters to life from the pages to your ears. Thank you for the great listen.
