SHADOW OF THE MOON is a contemporary whodunit mystery with a touch of romance and is my first book by author Kwen Griffeth.

FBI Special Agent Andee Trakes is on the hunt for a killer. The trail takes her to a history professor, Alwyn Lloyd, who knows a hell of a lot more than Andee bargained for!

This is a relatively "clean" romance (no sex), it just gives us that tease of what could be between Andee and Alwyn. Andee is my favorite kind of character...badass and unapologetic about it! And Alywn...well he's the "Unum", the head alpha so he's pretty badass too but also loyal, devoted to his family and full of respect for his history. They were both so stubborn in their own ways, I felt like Alywn and Andee made the perfect pair!

I truly enjoyed the storyline. I thought it was a great take on an old trope and I loved the mysterious threats that were twisted in the plot. The only thing that kind of distracted me from the story was the stilted dialogue. I'm not sure if it was intentional or not but I sometimes felt like the banter was a little TOO formal and stiff. But overall, it was a good first read from Mr. Griffeth! Maybe we'll see more from these enigmatic characters in the future?? Told from various POVS with a happy ending.
