Summary: Entertaining, but....
Review: An entertaining thriller. In the sleepy little town of Moonfall, the St. Gertrude's Home for Girls hides a centuries old evil. Two people who once narrowly escaped that evil are back seeking answers, Sara Hawthorne who was once a resident at the school and whose best friend committed suicide; and John Lawson, now the town sheriff, who is haunted by his own childhood memories of his younger brother's death. Sara has gone back to teach at St. Gertrude's to look for answers. Together their hunt for the truth takes them deep inside the secrets and exposes them to the hidden dangers of St. Gertrude's.This is not great literature, or even a particularly haunting tale. There were elements of the plot that seem contrived and forced. This is particularly evident in the light treatment the writer gives the rape of one of the female protagonists. Throughout the book female sexuality is treated in a shallow and used only for sensationalistic effect. This distanced me from the characters and kept me from being drawn into the story. Still, the book does manage to entertain, much like a good B-movie. There are worse ways to kill a rainy day.

Review: As with all her novels you don't want to put it down. It keeps getting scarier. Why doesn't she write more?

Summary: Moonfall/Not quite a full moon
Review: I absolutely loved Haunted by Tamara Thorne and thought it deserved six stars if possible. Unfortunately, Moonfall is not as good. There are many similarities to the book Wither by J.G. Passarella. Flying demon gargoyles, school based terror, and good witch vs. bad witch are a few of the common themes. I did however,enjoy reading this book and would recommend it for almost anyone. ALL the characters are well developed and very interesting, especially Minerva the good witch and Lucy the "Nun". I wish Ms. Thorne would write a sequel to this so I could know how everyone from the story is doing. I wish she would write anything more, I truly enjoy her talent. Not quite five stars but a good book nontheless.

Summary: A devilishly good book!
Review: I am a horror novel fan and this one was very good. While it lacked the depth of a Koontz or King novel the story moved along very well, with no unnecessary sub plots. The story takes place in Southern California in an area know as "Apple Hill", where bakery and pie shops sell homebaked apple goodies. This was quite amusing to me as I go to Apple Hill in Northern California every fall. After reading the book I will never look at an apple orchard or a mincemeat pie in quite the same way. This is really a great book to sit down with and realx with. I will be on the lookout for more of Ms. Thorne's books.

Summary: Tamara Thorne hasn't disappointed me yet!
Review: I can't say enough good things about Tamara Thorne. The first book of hers that I read, "Haunted", remains one of my favorite books of all time. Moonfall delivers another great story, a compelling account of St. Gertrude's (better know as St. Gruesome's), a Catholic girls' school that isn't at all what it seems, complete with terrifying nuns, local legends, witches, gargoyles that come to life in the night, and nasty, evil secrets. Thorne (a pseudonym) is one of the better modern horror writers out there, and deserves far more attention than she receives. Unfortunately, the horror genre is the least popular of all genres in the U.S., (a puzzle I still haven't figured out), so she's in a tough market. Why she hasn't won a Stoker award is beyond me, because she certainly deserves one. Her stories are original, well-written, and entertaining from word one. I recently bought the rest of her books (Eternity, Candle Bay, and Bad Things), as well, and can't wait to read them. I highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a good, solid and highly entertaining horror story but shies away (as I do) from the too-intense, too-dark tales of King and Barker (though both King and Barker are undeniably fantastic authors). The entertainment factor is simply off the charts!

Summary: Would Make A Good Movie
Review: I have read this book twice and will read it again. I get something new each time I read it. I love her characters and would like to see them on the big screen. Any movie made from this book should follow the book completely. I am very picky about what I read and this one is great. Very hard for me to put down. I can't even think of a boring part in it.

Review: I just love Tamara Thornes writing! Her other book Haunting is the best book ever. I have been looking for "Body House" for years now, is it ever coming out? If you like to be scared these are the books to read.
