Summary: With the death of her husband, Daisy Ellis can finally live the life she desires, one with freedom to do as she pleases. Until suddenly a series of mysterious murders come knocking on her door causing her to narrowly miss being attacked by a creature thought to be lore: a werewolf. This causes her to fall into the arms of someone even more mysterious for safety: Ian Ranulf. Ian tries to live his life hiding from society, almost in a hermit like nature. He is the Marques of Northrup, but there are times when it seems as though he wishes he could be of a different heritage.
But the murders that are sweeping through London are threatening to expose his deepest secrets he longs to hide. Ian and Daisy work together to quickly find the source behind the dreadful murders: the identity of the werewolf. As they do so and are in close proximity to one another, they being to fall in love. Although both are hiding things from one another, could those secrets be more dangerous to each other than the terror that threatens the night? Daisy's sister Miranda and her husband Archer (formerly a good friend of Ian) know the secrets Ian is desperately trying to hide. Could their knowledge expose Ian to Daisy before he is ready to reveal who he truly is?
Review: This is a novel I won from a giveaway at Goodreads; and I have to say if I did not win the novel I would have gone out and bought it. I went out and bought her other novel Firelight right after I read this one. Callihan takes us into the darkest streets of London (hence the series name duh). Both of her main characters have a secret and their own horrid past they are desperately trying to hide from the world and in turn each other. Ian, himself, fights a daily war with himself regarding his secrets and his past. But could that be his ultimate downfall?
The plot to the story was rather interesting in itself. Murders being done by a werewolf we have seen before in different formats. Werewolves are nothing new, and I admit I thought "not another werewolf story." She takes something so familiar and changes it into something of her own, and makes it seem new. In "Moonglow", this werewolf's motive is simply killing women who have the same scent. One that he is drawn to for one reason or another (and no I won't tell you because that just takes away from you reading it). It was well written and well thought out, she stands her own ground in this genre and does a phenomenal job at it.
The story she creates captivates her audience from beginning to end, and then leaves them wanting more. She had added to my addiction to not only reading, but also paranormal romance. Once you open the book you step into a new world, or rather a new London. I enjoye reading this novel and suggest it to others and look forward to reading more of her work.
