Product Description

Love. Magic. Terror.

Sara Sawyer is swept from her feet by the Indian traditionalist known only as “Hawk.” Mysterious and mystical, he enshrouds her in a world of magic...until one day, with little explanation, he returns to the forests that had formerly been his life.

Two years pass. Sara, a reporter, is sent to cover an unusual killing–a man has been found dead with a look of screaming terror on his face. Sara senses there’s more to the killing than meets the eye but rejects the notion that repeatedly suggests itself: that the actual cause of death was something supernatural.

That night, at the height of a fierce storm, Hawk returns, bringing with him the disturbing tale of a skinwalker: a dreadful spirit creature he claims is responsible for the killing. But in rejecting a supernatural premise, Sara is forced to face the possibility that Hawk himself may be the killer.

A page turner
Forget vampires, werewolves, and Jason and Freddie. Helen Montgomery's skinwalker is more evil than all those combined. Folklore at its best. The story is a well-written murder mystery and the characters strong and well defined. A definite page turner!

Wow! Don't Miss This One!
Skinwalker Moon is the story of Sara Sawyer, a young woman whose life is defined, even controlled, without her knowledge by people she doesn't know. Not even her name is her own. When she finds love with an unusual man named Hawk, he is blamed for a series of grisly murders in a small South Carolina town. Events spiral out of control, and Sara and Hawk are driven to save each other, not only from the people who seek to control her life, but from the skinwalker as well.

It's a compelling idea beautifully executed, with characters so carefully drawn I feel I know them. Montgomery's perfect pacing, combined with easy-to-read dialogue and rich descriptions, draws the reader through the story to its frightening, inexorable end. Her skinwalker is the most terrifying character I can remember reading, and one that will make me listen carefully--and sniff often--when I'm walking in the woods.

I've met Ms. Montgomery, and she's such a very nice person, it's hard to believe the bad things that happen in this novel could have sprung from her imagination. But they did, and my reading world is all the better for it. This woman can really write, and Skinwalker Moon is a treat to be savored!

Skinwalker
In "The Princess Bride" they say that nothing can keep true love apart. But they never ran into the skinwalker. Hawk returns to claim Sara, his true love, but man is not the only thing blocking his path. What starts out feeling like a romance novel quickly transforms into a fast paced horror adventure. Montgomery's strength is her ability to give her characters depth while at the same time keeping the tension high. It's a page turner.
