'Moonlight' Blurb:
When eighteen-year-old Winter McCall is offered a chance to leave her life of poverty behind on the streets of London, she reluctantly accepts, and moves to a remote part of the south west of England. Here she takes up the job as housekeeper to the young and handsome, yet mysterious, Thaddeus Blake.
Warned that he has some curious habits, Winter soon realises that not all is as it firsts appears at the remote mansion where she now lives and works.
Blind to the real danger that she is in, Winter finds herself becoming attracted to Thaddeus. With nowhere to run and no one to turn to, she slowly succumbs to his strange requests. But none of them are as strange as his requests for her to stand  each night in the moonlight. mpire Hollows (Book 5)
 
I devoured this book in about 4 hours flat!  I am a huge fan of anything Tim O'Rourke, he has such a vivid imagination and such a unique way of translating that to paper that you can't help but love his works.  What I like most about O'Rourke is his nack for a lack of main characters but, an abundance of storyline and intrigue. 
 
We spend the majority of this book with Winter and Thad, and that's about it.  Boring you say? Oh hells no!  The story is engrossing and I found myself anxiously turning each page awaiting what secret would lie on the next.  Winter is very young and very trusting, ignoring that inner voice that keeps screaming stranger danger.  Thad is slightly older, extremely secretive and largely eccentric; slowly but surely trusting Winter and sharing more and more of himself with her everyday. 
 
The chemistry between these two is not immediately evident or in your face but, it's hiding there under the surface, waiting to be released.  All the while these two are "getting to know each other", there is the underlying story of a series of horrific murder's plauging London.  Oh, and, there might be some Vampire's and Werewolve's running amuck.
 
I give this one 5/5....... but, that's just my two cents!

Tim has graciously offered up 5 Prize Packs, this giveaway is International as well. Up for grabs for 5 lucky winners.. ebook copies of the entire Kiera Hudson collection. Series 1&2.. that is 9 books total!
