The Heat of the Moon Audiobook

" I'm giving this four stars because it was one of the better free Kindle books I read. "

" Page turner. Keeps you guessing and not turning pages too quickly until past the middle. "

" This is psychological fiction and it was ok, but not as gripping as these kinds of books should be. I was interested enough to keep reading and find out what was going on but not enough to care about the characters or be shocked by the outcome. Also I thought the ending went on too long and then didn't seem like a reasonable end when it was over. "

" Disappointing. I know it won an award, but to me it read like a romance novel, not a mystery. The characters never really came alive. About halfway through, I started speed reading--never a good sign. "

" This is really an outstanding first in the series. Can't wait to read book 2. "

" Interesting storyline, thought I knew the answer to the mystery but I was wrong. The ending was unexpected. "

" Didn't like the ending...a personal response "

" I wanted to like this book. The storyline was interesting but I do not feel the characters were fully developed. The ending was rushed and a bit trite. The reader did an excellent job. Not sure I would have finished it if I had been actually reading the book. I may give her second book a try. "

" When Rachel experiences a flashback of her sister crying in the rain, she's confused, but can't leave the mystery alone. What she uncovers will shatter her family and her understanding of who she is. Tense and taut, The Heat of the Moon draws the reader on to a climax that surprises and satisfies. "

" At best an okay "mystery" - abducted children, repressed memory and a dissatisfying ending. "

" Loved this book, it hooked me from the very beginning and kept my interest all the way through~ I enjoyed the characters and the story line very much. The ending was exciting and kept me on the edge of my seat~ Highly Recommend, I was lucky enough to pick this up FREE on pixelofink.com. "

" Decent story. A little tedious in the middle....it takes too long to get to the punch line. "

" Quick and painless "

" Truthfully, I didn't finish this. I tried, but just couldn't get into it. I picked it up and put it down (very willlingly) over 10 times. I was actually very surprised as it was very well written and I was looking forward to reading it. Hopefully the next review will be better. "

" Very suspense filled, intriguing mystery featuring a veterinarian with an evil mother. I actually read the third in this series last week and had to get this title asap to find out the backstory. "

" Read for mystery book group. Interesting look at psychological domination and control within a family. "

" I read the fourth book in this series first, and enjoyed it so much I wanted to go back to the beginning and read the first three books. Well I was not disappointed. This book was a suspenseful ride from beginning to end. I loved it and can't wait to get my hands on the next book! :) "

" I'm not usually a fan of psychological thrillers but this one was one of my "best books" of 2007. "

" Interesting mystery with a female narrator and lots of family drama. Might read another by this author. "

" Really, really liked this novel. Have downloaded two more titles in this series and have placed the second novel on reserve at the library. "

" Follows the search for the main characters past and identity, Found it interesting enough to keep my attention going and was able to complete it in a day. "

" Amazing for a debut novel ! Sick or not ( damn my sinus and ears ! ) I could not put this one down . I loved Parshall's abilty to draw me in and hold me there , while I held my breath ;-) "

" Excellent psychological thriller. "

" I liked the book very much. It was quite good for a first novel. "

" I don't usually read mysteries, but this author came to our library in September so I figured I had to read it. I was very pleasantly surprised to enjoy it so much and to NOT figure out the mystery early on. I hope to read the others in the series too. "

" Veterinarian Rachel is hurled back in time, in memory, when a little girl cries "Mommy! I want Mommy!" But what's the rest of the memory? "

" This was a fairly decent mystery, but the writing is stilted and awkward. No desire to read the next in the series. "

" Good psychological drama, and a good ending. "
