Product Description

From Booklist

Three years ago on a hunting trip with his brother in Canada, Jason was bitten by a wolf. Now a werewolf, he is forced to leave his career and family behind as he searches for a way to break the curse. When Tala Soaringbird encounters Jason, she thinks he is a "sica," or bad one, but after Jason defends Tala from two other werewolves, she realizes that he's different. Even though it is forbidden, Tala brings the wounded Jason back to her tribe to heal him and help him learn how to control the changes that the moon brings. Hidden away with a Native American tribe who have kept themselves apart from civilization for centuries, Jason must not only fight his urge to give into the call of the moon, but also his growing attraction for Tala. After first exploring the werewolf romance with Rick Donavon's story "Secret Serenade" in the anthology After Twilight (2001), Thompson returns with another sexy contemporary paranormal flavored with a hint of mysticism.

1.0 out of 5 stars Could not hold my interest...slow first half..., Dec 24 2003

By	Detra Fitch (USA) - See all my reviews (TOP 50 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)

Jason Donavon was cursed. The only way he knew to lift the curse was to find the werewolf that had bitten him and then kill it. The wolf within him was getting stronger. Jason feared that he would soon lose his humanity forever.

She was called Tala Soaringbird by her people. She was "the chosen one". She was granted the powers to protect her hidden people from "the outside world" and from the Sica (A.K.A. the werewolves who feed on humans). As Chosen, Tala's duty was to seek out the evil ones and destroy them. It was during such a confrontation that she met Jason.

By rights Tala was to kill Jason. But she could see that Jason was still in pure form. He had not yet given in to the beast or tasted human blood. And Jason did not know it, but Tala already owed Jason a debt. In order for Tala to repay the debt, she risked everything.

* The plot sounded so wonderful and I had enjoyed the story of Jason's brother in a previous story. However, this book simply could not hold my attention at all. The characters never became real to me. I found myself getting bored and putting the book down often. As much as I enjoyed this author's previous work I can not recommend this one. *

4.0 out of 5 stars The second half is better than the first., Jul 28 2003

By	Chadwick H. Saxelid "Bookworm" (Concord, CA United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

It has been three years since Jason Donovan and his brother Rick were attacked by a wolf that was more than a mere wolf. Three years spent by Jason searching for the creature responsible for cursing them to answer the call of the moon. Once he finds it, Jason hopes to kill it and release he and his brother from their prison, so that they may be fully human again, not half wolf.

Then Jason is attacked by another werewolf and rescued by Tala Soaringbird. But when a second werewolf shows up to attack Tala, Jason instinctively leaps to her defense. He awakens to find himself her prisoner in a secret tribal world hidden deep inside the woods of Canada. There the mystery of who changed him and how he must learn to live with his new identity is revealed.

Drive-In Movie critic Joe Bob Briggs has a routine where he complains of "Way too much plot getting in the way of the story." Call of the Moon suffers a tad from that. Less time is spent on the romance between Jason and Tala and more on Jason learning the ropes of his environment. Granted there is a reason for this, but one would hope for more romance in a romance novel. There is some nice humor and the twists are credible, so the book is not a complete wash-out. Four stars might be a tad over generous, but the book left me hoping the author would revisit her characters. Tala's brother especially, who is in need of a strong woman. Recommended strictly to werewolf fans.

1.0 out of 5 stars Yawn!, Mar 1 2003

By	Nusper "Stuff" (New York, NY) - See all my reviews

This book was dry and boring. If you can finish reading this then good. The story that lead to this book was so good and this book was just blah.....
If you like weird and bazaar this might be for you. If you like werewolves read Bitten. This was not that book.

3.0 out of 5 stars A nice book
I found this book to be a good read. But it did not hold my interest. I had a hard time getting in the charaters' minds. I kept wishing that Tala was stronger. Read more
