Description

When Lark Cavanaugh’s life in New York City falls apart, she’s left reeling from a staggering betrayal. She escapes to Cape Cod, where a distant relative has left her an old house with a tragic past. Rumors of a haunting presence plague the abandoned home, but Lark doesn’t believe in ghosts…until she has no choice. 

 

After completing his military duty, veterinarian Jesse Holt returns to his small hometown to take over his father’s practice. He soon finds himself drawn to the alluring redhead now living next door, but she has made her intentions clear—she’s moving back to the city as soon as possible. When frightening events threaten her safety, though, he can’t deny his protective instincts. 

 

Unable to fight their feelings, they give in to desire…but another battle looms. Lark’s arrival has awakened a decades-old mystery, and the truth of what happened at Holloway House will only be revealed when it claims yet another life.

When Lark Cavanaugh’s life in New York City falls apart, she’s left reeling from a staggering betrayal. She escapes to Cape Cod, where a distant relative has left her an old house with a tragic past...

This sexy and spooky 5 star story will have you up well into the night.
I am a huge fan of Ms. Knight and her writting style. She has a unique ability that allows you to feel connected to her characters while drawing you into her heart pounding stories.
I absolutely loved Ghost Moon, I immediately fell in love with Lark, Jesse, Bosco and Benny, their bond is so strong and so beautiful. I love how one minute I would be gushing over the love story and the next minute my heart would be pounding trying to figure out what happened to the ghost.
I would highly recommend this story
Thank you to Netgally and Ms. Knight for allowing me to express my honest opinion of this story.

Lark Cavanaugh arrives at her inherited house
in Cape Cod. It is called the Holloway House.
Upon arrival Lark notices a vague figure in one
of the windows but finds the house empty. Lark
has her cat, Preston with her but the cat refuses
to leave the carrier.
Then Lark hears sounds, thumps, a picture frame
falls off the wall, a book opens to a certain page
when it falls from a bookshelf then the most
scariest problem occurs....Lark is found in the
wooded area of Hollloway House in a dream like
state. It is like someone is pulling her through the
woods to the water below. Once could be she was
sleepwalking but several times?? Whose ghost is
inhabiting the Holloway House and taking control
of her body??
As she starts to investigate it looks like the spooky
phenomenon is from a decades old mystery. The
description of the area and the history will hold the
reader attention throughout the beach k.
Add a good looking Veterinarian with two fun dogs
and the plot thickens.
Suspenseful, steamy, well written read.
A Highly Recommended Read.
I volunteered to read Ghost Moon. Thanks to the
author and publisher via Net Gallery. My opinion
is voluntary and my own.

For a short ghost/romance story this one hit all the marks. I liked the main characters Lark and Jesse, there was nice chemistry between them.
As for the ghost story it was good, the atmosphere was very good and I enjoyed it a lot. I would say I would have liked the mystery of the ghost to have been drawn out more but only because I was enjoying the writing so much.
This review is going to be posted also on Goodreads.com and the Arc was kindly provided by Netgalley.

If you're looking for a supernatural mystery mixed with feel-good romance, this standalone ghost story will probably hit the spot.

As the book begins, Lark is moving to a new town and a house she's inherited--after losing her job in New York and catching her fiance in bed with her best friend. (Let me pause here and say the deets on her boyfriend aren't revealed until more than halfway through the book, but the hinting is so heavy-handed, you could figure it out in chapter one.)

Anyway, she knows before she ever steps foot inside that the place is rumored to be haunted. And sure enough, it is. Thank goodness for the sexy and super-sweet vet who saves her cat and just happens to be her next door neighbor. Jesse is a former soldier and is there for her from the get-go. Of course, she falls for him, despite her fears about giving her heart to another man. They work together, trying to figure out who is behind the haunting and what is driving them.

The ghost mystery was pretty good, and the atmosphere in the house was suitably creepy. The romance was a little easy, and like I said, the backstory on Lark was kind of obvious, but I liked Jesse and I liked the two of them together.

Overall, I found this an engaging and easy read. Would pick up another book from this author.

Ghost Moon was absolutely the best book I have ever read!
The characters were easy to connect with and immediately love. You very quickly wanted to know what was going to happen to them and wanted to see them get their happy ending!!
The story itself is full of imagery and it easily comes to life right off the page and I could visualize everything as I was reading it. I could see Lark and Jesse and I felt as though I was living the story with them! Not all authors are capable of bringing the story to life like that, but Kathryn Knight definitely does!
The romance was real, it wasn't rushed, nor did it seem faked. As I said, it all came off the page and the romance scenes were STEAMY!!
I have been a fan of Kathryn Knight's for a long time and I can easily say out of every book she's written, this is by far her very best one!! This book will not disappoint you!!

Thank you for the arc, it was an OK read. I found it a bit dull, the usual damsel in distress and big strong man to save her.

A good spellbinding mystery romance that was awesome. I really liked the plot and enjoyed the romance. Great job!

Rating 4.5/5*

This is a contemporary romance with a ghostly, life threatening twist and a fantastic book to escape into!

After Lark Cavanaugh inherits Holloway House, in Cape Cod, she didn’t expect to be visiting it so soon. However, life has conspired against her in New York and she escaped to the old home which has been abandoned for a decade not expecting to have any problems even though she has heard that it is haunted. Talk about things going bump in the night! This is an eerie, haunting story in which Lark is forced to revise her opinions about ghosts….. and will only survive with the help of local veterinarian, Jesse Holt. As events unfold the two become closer but there’s a mystery to be solved and danger to be faced before they can have any chance of a HEA together!

This is a really atmospheric read, one to make your hairs stand on end as more is gradually revealed. I thoroughly enjoyed it and found it to be a real page turner and have no hesitation in highly recommending it. It is a very different story involving family history, secrets, ghostly encounters and, of course, romance but the path of true love doesn’t always run smoothly……

I requested and was gifted a copy of this book via NetGalley and this is my honest review after choosing to read it and thoroughly enjoying doing so.

This was a riveting mystery/romance and I loved it!

The book was expertly written to keep you on tenterhooks the whole way through and I thought that the plot was excellent, it was full of romance and heartache to do the right thing and I loved the way that the book was written to bring the characters to life – it all worked brilliantly for me.

I thought that the characters were strong and gelled together to make a good team and their interaction was great, it was a real page turner and it is 5 stars from me for this one – very highly recommended!

Thoroughly enjoyable. Somewhat predictable, but the character development more than made up for it.

I also loved how the animals were important characters in their own right, not just, “oh they have a pet that you’ll never see again.”

Literally just finished Ghost Moon and wow!

I'm new to the stories and mind if Kathryn Knight and now that I've read Lark and Eva's story I can't wait to delve into Knight's previous books.

At the %25 point I had to STOP myself multiple times from reading ahead so I could figure what in the world was actually going on.

Phenomenal world building with excellent characters and a well built storyline.

Lark is incredibly strong for a woman that finds herself living with a ghost... Or maybe two. Her desire to get answers made me love her more and the fact that Jesse doesn't stop her makes him a perfect partner to not only help Lark reclaim herself, but find out what the heck is actually going on in her new, but old, family home.

3.5 Stars. This is the second book I've read by this author, and I enjoyed it. The plot is suspenseful, riveting, and just plain scary at times. I found the characters of Lark and Jesse to be likeable individually and a great match as a couple. I loved the animals and the role they play. One of the things I like best about this author's books is that they are the perfect length to develop the characters and tell the story without getting bogged down in excessive internal dialogue or unimportant events. If you like paranormal suspense with a little romance tossed into the mix, then give this one a try.

Thank you to NetGalley and the author for providing an ARC for review.

Ghost Moon by Kathryn Knight Reviewed on May 14, 2020

An old haunted house on Cape Cod got my attention. I am not a big fan of “Romance, Sci Fi nor fantasy but I am okay with ghosts.
Lark Cavanaugh inherits the Holloway House in the town of Truro on Cape Cod. She has lost her job in New York also her fiancé. She has nowhere to go so packs up her cat, Preston and figured this is a good a time as any to check out her inheritance.
Everyone believes Holloway House is haunted. Lark agrees it looks a bit creepy but she doesn’t believe in Ghosts…Hmmmm…
Kitty Preston gets sick and Lark has to visit the Vet. There is an immediate attraction. No doubt dreamy Dr. Jesse Holt has great appeal ~ his two awesome dogs Bosco and Benny ~ that everyone loves~ are a nice addition.
But the local ghost soon demands Lark’s attention. Yep! Dr. Jesse comes to the rescue

Note from me: The reviews on this novel are amazing, everyone loves it. However, I should have guessed from the cover that it might have more steamy sex than scary ghosts.
I went from ~ “Hmm” to “okay this isn’t terrible” ended with “actually a quick kind of fun read “. Certainly not a 5 star read for old fuddy-duddy me. However, I can understand why those who follow steamy romance with some secrets and yes mystery would love it.

I may try another author, Kathryn Knight novel now that I understand her style!

Want to thank NetGalley and Blacklit PR for this ARC granted to me in exchange for an honest professional review. Opinions expressed in this review are my own ~ which I am sure you figured out!

Love, deception, mystery, murder. It doesn't get much better then this. I couldn't put it down, I was reading into the early morning hours. Give it a read you'll, be glad you did.

. Ghost Moon is my second Kathryn Knight paranormal romance and I just find them irresistible. Her books hit the right note for BOTH the romance and the spooky paranormal which is hard to do. Usually one aspect is lacking but Knight deftly intertwined the two elements giving the reader both chills and heat in equal measure.

This novel finds our heroine, Lark, escaping to Cape Cod and Holloway House a property she has inherited from a distant relative. With no family left and a newly broken engagement, Lark is hoping to take a break and sell the house to start fresh. One fateful night, Lark’s beloved cat becomes ill and Lark takes him to Jesse, the local hero veterinarian. Not only is he hunky but kind too. Strange occurrences, ghostly visions and more things that go bump in the night bring these two together. Without any spoilers, I loved the mystery and chemistry between our characters. Highly recommend for paranormal romance readers.

I’M TELLING ANYONE WHO WILL LISTEN ABOUT THIS BOOK

I don’t often tell my husband the details of a story that I’m reading. This one (and many of the books I read from Kathryn Knight) was an exception. The best part is that he is always attentive when I do describe her stories.

Lark’s first meeting with Jesse invokes hero worship as the town veterinarian saves her ill cat. Still, she’s trying desperately to guard her heart. She believes she has reason to never trust another human being again.

I loved Lark’s slow and measured unfolding in her new town. I loved the instant attraction, but slow to develop relationship. I loved that neither Jesse nor Lark believed in ghosts in the beginning, but they each were willing to believe in the other intrinsically.

I think what made this the most exciting was that the ghosts are not hundreds of years passed. The mystery is modernly traceable.

Note: While I received this book as a gifted ARC via NetGalley, my opinions are my own and are given freely.

This was my first read by Katherine Knight. Overall, it was a good read. I liked the main characters and the origin of the ghost was interesting. However, I feel like it was a bit too short. I wanted to have more of the haunting experiences to darken up the story a bit, but that's just a personal preference.
