Reed is at his best when describing a scene in such vivid detail that the reader is transported into the story. He does a particularly good job of this in Blue Moon when describing the Italian cuisine served at the cafe - he had me salivating Pavlovian-style.
I loved the perfect blend of culinary delights, eroticism, suspense, and terror. While the plot does not always go where you expect, I was able to anticipate the next immediate event most of the time; this didn't detract from my enjoyment at all though - the ending in particular was a pleasant and unexpected surprise.
There was only once that I encountered one of those "bad slasher movie moments" as I thought, "OMG - there's a full moon! Why are you going out tonight after what's happened so far? Can't you wait until next weekend?" But my reaction was more one of comic relief - I needed a break from the suspense!
All in all, a great read worth checking out if you like sex or food or werewolves - and who doesn't like ONE of those?

Definitely a different kind of book.
There was definitely a tone of romance in this book, but it was certainly not in the forefront. It actually starts with the gritty description of a murder, from the murderer's POV. Then switches to a nonsens romance between a 20+ young man, Thad, and the mature restaurant owner Sam who recently relocated to the neighborhood.
Sam is not quite who he seems, never being quite truthful to Thad. As bodies pile up Thad starts to question Sam, their relationship and the sanity of both himself and his best friend Jared.
Neither of the characters
The story ends as a somewhat HEA, but there's still the uncertainty of a HFN.

A lot of twists and turns but I still kinda guessed who the killer was pretty early..
