review 1: I was aware that the book was #5 of a series, but many times I can still follow the storyline enough to enjoy it, and may even go back to start the series from the beginning. Hunter of Shadows, however, was a disappointment. First off, there was too much gratituous sex for my liking. Also, even though the main character was a shapeshifter, he never actually shifted *at all* except for occasional eye color and long fingernails (claws). A disappointment for any werewolf fan. But I think the most annoying thing about the book was the names of the characters. Each character seemed to have multiple names (full names, nicknames, pseudonyms, etc) which made it very difficult to determine who was being talked about at any given time. For example, the main male character was ... moreSilas MacCreedy, but he was also called Silas, MacCreed, Mac, Creed and Detective or Detective MacCreedy. A friend of the female lead was Charlotte Caissie who also went by Charlotte, Lottie, Cee Cee and even Chili Pepper (her exotic dancer name). It made things too complicated and I spent so much time determining who was being discussed that I couldn't really enjoy the plot. I definitely won't be reading the rest of the series.
review 2: I hadn't had the chance to review the previous books but I had read them but this is the first of Nancy Gideon's Moonlight series I have reviewed. In Hunter of Shadows we get to meet a new hero in this series, Det. Silas MacCreedy. He is on a secret mission to get his clan place back to their the place in the Shifter world. But like every great novel things do not always go as planned. Silas meets a mysterious assassin who is about turn his world upside down. I haven't discovered a heroine like Monica Fraser before. She is all that and more.. Its only fitting that Silas is the only one that can bring Monica out of the danger she's been through all her life. Somewhere along of the lines they both realize their missions intertwined. Monica and Silas must discover just how much they stand to lose if they don't work together. And of course this book can't go wrong with Max and CeCe along for the ride. I have to say every time I read a new novel in the Moonlight series by Nancy Gideon get even better than previous. It sure as hell gets me all happy and giddy when I start to read a new book by Ms. Gideon. And no offense to the previous books but this one, Hunter of Shadows is quickly becoming a new favorite of mine. I very much look forward to reading the next book in this series, Seeker of Shadows Moonlight #6I can't help but rate this a 5 star rating for Hunter of Shadows. less
