Rating: Summary: Katherine Sutcliffe Rising Review: "Darkling I Listen" intrigued me with its eery atmosphere and compelling characters, and now "Bad Moon Rising" has made me a loyal fan of Katherine Sutcliffe. Sutcliffe portrays her characters so passionately that the reader not only understands the forces that drive them but feels their hurt. Holly Jones best friend is in trouble. Nothing else would draw her back to New Orleans. With noone left to turn to in the city from which she had barely escaped a few years ago Holly calls burnt out attorney J. D. Damascus. Damascus is fighting his own demons since the brutal murders of his wife and beloved children by the notorious French Quarter killer four years earlier. He reluctantly comes to the aid of this mysterious and beautiful former prostitute when he realizes that they might have a common goal- to find and stop the psychopath who murdered his family and several of Holly's former associates. The same person might now have abducted Holly's missing friend. Although a despicable child molester has been sentenced and put to death for the crime, Damascus is certain that for political purposes the wrong man has been punished. In the process of searching for a killer these two scarred souls find far more than they wanted to, but will their hidden secrets jeopardize their budding relationship as well as their lives? Here is a story that is as well plotted as it is beautifully written. I was sorry to leave these characters. I certainly look forward to the next book by Katherine Sutcliffe.
Rating: Summary: Could have been a 5 star book, Review: Had, Bad Moon Rising, by Katherine Sutcliffe, been a little more "romantic" and a little less "street," I would have rated this book 5 stars! This is a terrific story and I know most people will think the same after reading it.

Rating: Summary: Heartfelt, Memorable, Touching Review: I enjoy books like, "Bad Moon Rising" by Talented writer Katherine Sutcliffe. The plot is exciting and the characters are easy to care about. I was hooked from the first page of "Bad Moon Risin" and I know you will be too! If you haven't had a chance to read any of this writer's fabulous stories well then today is your lucky day! This is the perfect book to start with. (Bad Moon Rising is a highly recommended novel!) I give it two-thumbs way up!
Rating: Summary: A Good Book about Redemption Review: I was attracted to this book because of the fact the characters weren't your usually ones. They were both suffering. Holly from being a former hooker and J.D. from losing his family. They found hope and a second chance with each other. What made me want to read the book more was the fact that it was a romance suspense and I love trying to figure out who did the crime. The book wasn't as good as Darkling I listen in my opinion but it was worth reading.
Rating: Summary: Good, But not 5 stars Review: I was fortunate enough to be able to read this book while in New Orleans. I really liked it overall. The dynamic between the 2 protaganists is good. I found the scenes where John is dealing with his families death to be very real. I had a hard time beleiving that in New Orleans they would be buried below ground and not entombed, but other than that it was beleivable, and that is why I gave it 4 instead of 5 stars. There are very few places in the state where you can have a below ground grave, and I had just done several cemetary tours. I also really liked the way they dealt w/the fact that Holly had been a prostitute. KS did not make it seem like it did not matter at all, and the way it was handled was great. The murderer was obvious after they 1st interaction w/him. It was practically spelled out and delivered to you in the 1st 15 pages. This had some steamy love scenes, and I would consider it to be a romance and not a "mystery" or "romantic suspense". I felt that it could have been longer and gone into more depth w/Patrick the nephew of John. He was set up by KS as a possible suspect and given a ton of mental and emotional problems that I did not feel were dealt with. I would say overall it was a good book, and would read other books of hers, but it was not great. If you like this type of book, I would read Erica Spindler (alot more depth) and Helen Myers (also has things conveniently happen, but good reads)
Rating: Summary: 4.5 stars - GREAT READ! Review: I was so intrigued by the emotionally-damaged, yet strong characters and gut-wrenching plot, I didn't even notice the evening go by. Sutcliffe harnesses her talent in this tightly-plotted, twisted tale with a dash of undeniable attraction between two characters who have suffered great tragedies and come out stronger.
