FROM A FUNFEST...
Each year, the residents of Pine Deep host the Halloween Festival, drawing tourists and celebrities from across the country to enjoy the deliciously creepy fun. Those who visit the small Pennsylvania town are out for a good time, but those who live there are desperately trying to survive...
TO A BLOODFEST
For a monstrous evil lives among them, a savage presence whose malicious power has grown too powerful even for death to hold it back. Only a handful of brave souls stand against the King of the Dead and a red wave of destruction. Daylight is fading and a bad moon is rising over Pine Deep. Keep watching the shadows...
Bad Moon Rising is the conclusion to the Pine Deep trilogy. Picking up soon after the second book ends, this is the heroes from the first two books find themselves in the ultimate battle for their lives and humankind. This books doesn't work well as a stand alone as it assumes you have read the rest of the series before this one.
I thoroughly enjoyed this one. It was gory, creepy, and good old fashioned horror. There was one particular scene in the cellar that was just disturbing. The story had everything that I wanted in a final battle between good and evil. It was just the right length and not everyone was safe. Yes, one of my favorite characters didn't survive the battle. The rest of the book leading up to the Red wave was equally as enjoyable and fast paced. I loved learning more about the mythology behind the werewolves and vampires. It's a unique take on the genre.
The final book was the best out of the trilogy. Looking back, I still think that the first book could have been shortened a bit. But it's a horror trilogy worth reading. There are a few short stories that take place in Pine Deep and I will be seeking those out.
