A review by durwood
The Blue Moon Cafe by Rick R. Reed
4.0
Reed is at his best when describing a scene in such vivid detail that the reader is transported into the story. He does a particularly good job of this in Blue Moon when describing the Italian cuisine served at the cafe - he had me salivating Pavlovian-style.
I loved the perfect blend of culinary delights, eroticism, suspense, and terror. While the plot does not always go where you expect, I was able to anticipate the next immediate event most of the time; this didn't detract from my enjoyment at all though - the ending in particular was a pleasant and unexpected surprise.
There was only once that I encountered one of those "bad slasher movie moments" as I thought, "OMG - there's a full moon! Why are you going out tonight after what's happened so far? Can't you wait until next weekend?" But my reaction was more one of comic relief - I needed a break from the suspense!
All in all, a great read worth checking out if you like sex or food or werewolves - and who doesn't like ONE of those?
