Editorial Reviews

"Long Night Moon is compelling and delicious, one of those amazing novels that lingers in the heart and brain long after you've savored the final sentence. Filled with intriguing characters, heart-stopping situations, and exquisite descriptions, this book stole my heart and my sleep. You can smell the piñon smoke and simmering chile and feel the chill of winter's perfect moonlit nights. From the village of Esperanza's gnarled cottonwoods to the foggy hills of San Francisco, the authors use landscape to shape the characters and inform the story. Although this is the long-awaited final installment in an award-winning trilogy, the story stands on its own. I am honored to recommend it. Well done!"—Anne Hillerman, author of Rock with Wings
