York's latest werewolf tale has a touch of the supernatural

Fans get to meet yet another Marshall boy in Rebecca York's latest novel about the werewolf clan, "Shadow of the Moon" ($6.99, Berkley Sensation).

This time it's freelance reporter Lance Marshall and he's scented out a story on an very exclusive D.C. establishment that he's heard rumors about, the Eighteen Club. While lurking outside the club one night in wolf form, Lance spots another lurker, Savannah Carpenter. Savannah is caught taking pictures of the club's clientele as they enter the building.

Lance, against his better judgment, helps her get away from the guard and rescues her confiscated camera. In human form, Lance tracks down Savannah, curious to know what she was doing outside the club.

Savannah's sister is in the hospital in a coma, but unlike the police, Savannah doesn't think her sister wound up that way by accident. Savannah knows Charlotte had a secret and she knows her sister frequented the Eighteen Club. What she doesn't know is how exactly Charlotte wound up in the coma.

But she intends to find out. In the meantime, Savannah seems to have acquired a stalker and she's not so sure she can trust Lance.

Eventually, Savannah and Lance decide to team up to check out the club.

What they find is something they won't be able to handle on their own, so Lance will have to ask his family for help. In a family of alpha werewolves, that's not so easy to do.

As if werewolves, psychic abilities and lifemates aren't enough, York adds yet another element to her werewolf series in "Shadow of the Moon." It makes for excellent reading.
