SYNOPSIS

With a traumatic year of fending off a serial killer behind her, Arista has settled contentedly into her temporary home with Auntie in Sedona, Arizona. She enjoys her new job selling all things metaphysical and even has her eye on the hot security guard, Dakota, after her recent breakup with Shane.

But a series of new fainting spells has her worried, and when Auntie witnesses one, they decide the answer lies in her home of Boulder Creek. However, returning means not only dealing with her breakup and its heartache but also the possibility of drawing her bloodthirsty Uncle Fergus to her once safe haven in the redwoods. And this time he has recruited an even more dangerous alliance.

Arista's closest bonds will be strengthened, but the mounting tension of a death in the desert, a stalker on the streets, and the relentless pursuit of Fergus puts her in dangerous territory, and escaping sorrow proves impossible.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Sherri L. Dodd was raised in southeast Texas. Walking barefoot most days and catching crawdads as they swam the creek beds, she had a love for all things free and natural. Her childhood ran rampant with talk of ghosts, demons, and backcountry folklore. This inspired her first story for sale, about a poisonous flower that shot toxins onto children as they smelled it. Her classmate bought it for all the change in his pocket. Shortly thereafter, her mother packed the two of them up and headed to the central coast of California. Since that time, she has worked corporate, married, raised two sons, and now writes full-time creating atmospheric paranormal fiction. Her debut novel – Murder Under Redwood Moon – shot straight to #1 on Amazon, holding firm as a Best Seller in the Occult Supernatural genre.

REVIEW

Moonset on Desert Sands by Sherri L. Dodd is a great mystery that keeps a reader enthralled from beginning to end. There is a great mix between the mystery and magical elements in Arista’s story. I found that the blending of both worlds, the other-natural and reality, was done so well and in a way that caused the suspension of disbelief to be quiet easy for me.

It was very easy to become enthralled by and into this story as Dodd’s writing is captivating with its characters, the story’s suspense, and and overall enchanting feeling portrayed in the tale. There are no short-lived moments in this work, as there is action that starts from the very beginning and grips the reader by truly keeping the reader guessing as the tale unfolds.

This is the second book in the series, Murder, Tea & Crystals, and I definitely recommend reading the first of the series becore continuing onto this one. It’s absolutely worth it.
