Signed Paperback copy of Bad Moon – Book 4 in the Elizabeth Cage series

The major revelations in the previous book, Long Shadows, continue to have repercussions on everyone but Elizabeth Cage, who doesn’t understand why Michael Jones is now afraid of her, and Melek and Iblis are more protective than ever. She has other problems, too. There is blood on her doorstep every morning, and she can’t quite recall what happened last Christmas, although it is right on the edge of her memory. She just wants a nice quiet life, but things don’t seem to be heading that way. She and Michael set up their supernatural investigation business and soon encounter a very angry and murderous ghost. And that is the least of their problems. An evil force stands by, ready to destroy them all. The wicked Dr. Sorensen is still in the picture, but in a different way, and Elizabeth will go back through all the experiences of her recent past, trying to find out who is on a mission to destroy her. Elizabeth starts to come into her own in this fourth book in the series. Without giving away spoilers, I can say she finally gets a clear picture of her life and abilities and tries to make steps forward. There are some very scary moments in this book, but also fun and light-hearted ones. The banter between Elizabeth, Michael, and Iblis will bring a smile to your face. Elizabeth is getting more independent, and I love the way she loves her shiny, new red scooter. The evil in this book is oh, so evil, but the author also finds ways to make us laugh in the middle of it, even though we’re also covered with goosebumps of fear. There is a depth of feeling, even for the most vile characters. There is one ghost who completely creeped me out, but I also felt compassion for her, and that is the genius of Jodi Taylor’s writing. I don’t classify this as horror, but I would say it’s a mashup of paranormal, fantasy, and thriller, and I loved every minute of it. This series is best read in order and the entire series can be found here. I received a free copy of this book from the publisher via Netgalley.
