This is a short, novella length story of about 70 pages.The Ritters are a tight knit family. Close, loving and protective they use their difference as a way to protect the innocent. Unlike most of their kind, they have a choice to make, will they join in the family business taking on the life of a were, or will they play a supporting role and stay human.Janet lives her life carefully. She is a registered nurse working in the E. R. of a local hospital. Not wanting to draw too much attention to herself, she keeps a low profile. Accustomed to dealing with both the mundane and the unusual in her job she is not easily rattled or surprised. Until her emergency room plays host to a man found naked and unconscious. While that in itself may not be all that rare, the fact that he is well fed, well cared for and amazingly good looking is.Max has been on the hunt for a killer. Having joined the family business several years before he is not surprised when he finds himself on the receiving end of trouble. What is different, for him, is to wake up naked in the hospital with an attractive nurse about to insert a tube in him. A very attractive woman at that.But Janet is in danger. Her life is about to become something she had not planned. She now has a stalker and needs protection she both wants and is repelled by.With lot's of action, a bit of mystery and a family saga that is compelling, Before the Moon Rises is fun, romantic and mysterious. A great beach read, or a good short read on a lazy afternoon.Karen Bryant Doering,Parents' Little Black BookMistBlueEeyore@gmail.com
