An Exhilerating Thriller

4 out of 5 stars

Going into this I didn’t realize it was the continuation of a series.  But I didn’t have much trouble diving right into it.  Sokoloff Had a way of writing a continuation without making newcomers feel completely lost.

Hunger Moon revolves around a slew of campus “vandalizations” revolving around the rape culture that has continued to exist on college campuses in the US.  There are threats and suddenly men start to go missing from their frat houses.  The FBI has a suspect but she couldn’t have been everywhere that these were happening.

The story itself started off a little rocky for me.  I think part of that was because I was coming into a developed storyline and characters 4 stories deep.  As I mentioned above, I think that Sokoloff did a good job but it took me a little while to get caught up.

The intro where the main character had to get out of town and went to a reservation was probably my favorite part of the entire story. The law and disorder that she was helping solve really made the vigilante part of my brain happy. But the story itself was good.  About halfway through I told my wife that she would probably really like it (that’s when I looked into the entire series to figure out if they were all similar).  I might consider going back and seeing where this story started out.

What can I say about RC Bray that hasn’t been said already.  He always adds a lot to a story even when most of the characters in it are female.  I obviously enjoyed his narration as I always do.
