DRAGON MOON (ISBN: 978-0425230985, Berkley Sensation, October 2009).
Slave to a fearsome master, Kenna has come to our universe to prepare for an invasion. When she meets werewolf Talon Marshall, she longs to tell him her terrible secret and enlist his help. But every time she tries to reveal her mission, a lightning bolt of pain stops her words. Can she find a way to communicate with Talon before it's too late for our world?
Blurb #2 from Goodreads.com comes from book back cover..
As a werewolf, Talon is no stranger to secrets, and he can sense that the psychic Kenna is keeping something from him. But Talon is powerfully drawn to the mysterious stranger, and the urge to claim her is just as strong as the instinct to keep himself guarded. With impossible secrets keeping them apart and the threat from the other world drawing near, their fate hangs in the balance—unless they can learn to trust each other.
Dragon Moon is the 9th book in the Moon Series by Rebecca York if you go to her listing on Amazon.com or her web page. It is book 11 in the series according to Goodreads.com. Regardless of it's status in the lineup it was the latest book released in October of 2009 chronicling the Marshall Clan of Werewolves and their stories. Dragon Moon is the wonderfully suspenseful story of Talon Marshall and Kenna the female from a universe parallel to ours who was sent to spy for a being so evil and vile that even reading about his cruelty made me feel ill. The story takes the reader through all the wonder Kenna feels at living in a place and time where life is so different in every way to that in the world she came from, a world where an evil being is the lord master and ruler of all he calls his including people who are little more to him than disposable goods!!!
We follow Talon and Kenna's journey to finding out they are life mates and their personal struggles to both accept this and to learn to trust each other fully despite the way in which they were thrust together. In the case of Kenna being forced to come to the world Talon lives in and to not be able to reveal her true mission not only causes her immeasurable guilt but extreme pain when she tries very hard to break free of her evil master Vander and reveal all to the man that she has come to love more than she ever knew was possible. The fact that he is a werewolf amazingly enough is not a problem because in the Universe in which Kenna grew up Werewolves were normal beings right along with Psychically gifted humans...
Talon being a typical Marshall male at first resists heatedly the thought that he has bonded with Kenna, he loses the battle when he discovers her being threatened with death and from that moment on she becomes his top priority to safeguard and care for...In the midst of the journey we are brought together with the rest of the Marshall clan who unite to help Talon and Kenna rid both worlds of the evil Vander. As a side drama the man who tried to kill Kenna and torch Talon's lodge because of his involvement in turning in stolen money the man had buried on Talon's property was also killed and left in the alternate universe where he had followed the group to get his money back.
We are taken for a thrill ride where once again the Marshall men and their Lifemates must all put aside their personal differences and become the cohesive Pack unit we have slowly grown accustomed to seeing throughout the series. I was happy to see the neatly woven tale take us from beginning to end and culminate in the HEA that I have come to expect for each Marshall male and his new Lifemate. I am also excited to find out that later on in 2010 there is a new book coming out which will be about the pivotal 2ndry character introduced to us named Ramsay Gallagher and the book is to be called "Day Of The Dragon"

{What am I working on now? At this very moment, I’m writing a new kind of book
for me--featuring a dragon hero.
In Eternal Moon, readers met Ramsey Gallagher, a powerful shape-shifter who helped the Marshalls save our world from Vandar, a monster from an alternate universe. In DAY OF THE DRAGON, I tell Ramsey's story. In the battle with Vandar, Ramsey was badly wounded and lost most of his powers. He's angry and frustrated with the being he's become. But at the same time, he has the opportunity to work with archaeologist Madison Dartmoor to discover the secret of his origins. When Ramsey discovers Madison is in danger, he vows to save her from the evil forces determined to destroy her and her work.
DAY OF THE DRAGON will be published by Berkley Sensation in October 2010.}
As I said after reading Eternal Moon I am a long time fan of this series and it is to me my "written soap opera" where I am allowed to follow each characters individual story and also the corresponding stories of all the other characters introduced in past books as well.. I look forward to what ever else Ms. York pens. You can also check out what else she offers readers More about Author Rebecca York Here .
