Genre: Fantasy/Romance/Mystery/Mythology
Description:
“Some say the moon is for lovers, but wise folks know to fear it.
Kinley Dorn must be strong for her family in these dark times.
Sometimes she feels she’s all that’s holding them together. But when the
frightening Moon Man attacks and bestows a burdensome gift upon her, Kinley
might have to do more than simply help her family. She will have to battle a
god, but which one? If it’s the sly man hunting her in the astral plane, Kinley
might not make it out alive.”
Author:
“Christine Rains is a writer, blogger, and geek mom. She has four
degrees which help nothing with motherhood but make her a great Jeopardy
player. When she's not reading or writing, she's going on adventures with her
son or watching cheesy movies on Syfy Channel. She's a member of S.C.I.F.I. and
Untethered Realms. She has one novel and several novellas and short stories
published. Her newest urban fantasy series, Totem, is almost complete at nine
books.”

Appraisal:
This addition to the series centers mainly on Kinley and the myth
about the Moon Man. Ms. Rains has done a wonderful job building her myths in
this series. The plot moves fast as Christmas is approaching and the bear totem
looms closer than ever. So why has the Moon Man chosen Kinley to terrorize?
One thing I really enjoyed was a larger role for the local vampire,
Bert Ellsworth. The Dorn sisters are building and designing Bert’s new home in
the wilderness. Ransom, Kinley’s boyfriend, is also Bert’s personal assistant. His
help becomes dire for Kinley and I hope to see more of him in the future.
Descending
Moon is action packed and full of tension with a shocking ending on more
than one level. That fact alone makes book eight exceptional. I’m not sure how
they are going to manage getting all the tokens to put the totem pole back
together to save all shifters in one more book. However, I am looking forward
to finding out.
FYI:
Descending
Moon is book eight in the TOTEM series. It is important to read this
series in order as events build, and characters grow from other books in the
series.
Be warned about sensitive adult topics and there are several F-bombs.
