Mrs. Robards is useing the plot of a sicko abducting little girls too much. As original as most of her books are it looks like she could come up with a new plot. She has also used the supernatural far to often. The ghost ruse was good in Walking After Midnight but I just got a feeling of been there done that in Ghost Moon. All in all Ghost Moon is not a bad book just a perdictable one.

I found the characters superficial and the descriptions of the serial killers antics not really frightening. And there was no real connection or explanation as to how he got away with his murders for so long. Sorry to write such a downer when everyone else's comment were so glowing, but there just wasn't enough depth to the characters to make me really care about them.

Rating: ![5 stars](http://www.reviewfocus.com/images/stars-5-0.gif) Summary: Great read Review: Okay, so this is my first Robards novel, but I have too say this was great. It had me frightened to know who or what the killer is. It had a sick ending but I think the shock factor was better than letting it fizzle out. This would make a great movie. AND FOR the sceptics: This novel is not about brutalizing women, it is about women being strong enough to fight off anything that threatens them. It was about a woman overcoming her fears to become a stronger person, and life sometimes makes throws in a horrible difficult task. Olivia and Sara will be stronger women for the tasks they had to take over in this novel.
Rating: ![4 stars](http://www.reviewfocus.com/images/stars-4-0.gif) Summary: great book, but disappointing end Review: The book was very, very good, and I enjoyed reading it, until I got to the final chapters. The author tried to resolve everything in the last few pages, and it wasn't very delicate. Plus there were a ton of characters, and it went on and on about Seth's kakhis. You'll have fun reading it, but it'll leave you feeling disappointed. Ms. Robards should have made the ending longer.
Rating: ![4 stars](http://www.reviewfocus.com/images/stars-4-0.gif) Summary: Very good! Kept my interest! Review: The only thing preventing me from giving this book a 5 star rating was: way too many characters to try to keep track of. (Leading lady, her daughter, her dead mother, step aunts and uncles, step cousins, step cousins daughter, step cousins fiance and her daughter,maids....etc) She could have cut back a few of the characters in my opinion. The other thing that really started to annoy me was that she must have mentioned at least 30 different times that Seth was wearing Kaki pants. Too descriptive of clothes all the time. However, the plot was very good and held my interest!

Karen Robards ability to combine family and romance and danger into one book is incredible. Olivia and Seth make the perfact couple!

It starts out with the mystery of a stalker and then moves to the story of a young women 30 years later. The author then intertwines these two plots and it makes for a great read. The character Olivia, is strong and loveable as is her stepbrother, Seth. You fall in love with these two, laugh and cry with them and discover what love is all about with them. I encourage you to read this book because it is a wonderful masterpiece. Robards should be highly praised for it.
Rating: ![4 stars](http://www.reviewfocus.com/images/stars-4-0.gif) Summary: A Keeper Review: This book was packed with suspense and plenty of it. The romance between the two characters sizzled. Olivia goes home after leaving nine years before. She had a heated battle with her cousin and her Uncle about leaving home to elope with a roaming cowboy. She and her daughter are invited by her "Aunt Callie". "Aunt Callie" has cancer and wants to get her unfinished business in order. Seth, Olivia's "cousin" by marriage and Olivia have strong feelings for one another that were pushed aside until now. The couple remain forever in my heart and the book goes on my Keeper Shelf. The only reason I gave this book 4.5 stars instead of the five is because of the suspense portion of the novel. It was a tad too grusome for my tastes. The end did suprise me. The chemistry between Seth and Oliva was fantastic.
Rating: ![1 stars](http://www.reviewfocus.com/images/stars-1-0.gif) Summary: DISTURBING Review: This is a bad read. I am usually a great fan of Robards but lately, her books have taken a sick turn. They all seem to revolve around men preying on little girls, which leaves me wondering what has been going on in Robards life. I don't understand this new trend of romance writers writing contemporary pseudo-romances that focus a little too much on gruesome crimes against women/little girls. Don't read this book. I am all for romance and mystery but draw the line at supporting books (and movies) who's main focus is brutalizing women.
