Wolf Moon Rising

By: Lara Parker

Narrated by: Lara Parker

In Lara Parker's Wolf Moon Rising, when a portrait is lost that has maintained Quentin Collins' youthful appearance for over a century - and has also kept his werewolf curse at bay - Quentin begins to dread the full moon.

Meanwhile David, the 16-year-old heir to the Collins fortune, has fallen in love with Jacqueline, a young girl living at the Old House who is the reincarnation of Angelique. David and Jacqueline are swept back in time to the prohibition era of the '20s, where David uncovers the dark secrets of the Collins family history.

Most threatening of all, Dr. Nathanial Blair, an expert in the paranormal, has come to Collinwood because he suspects they are harboring a vampire. Fortunately, Barnabas Collins has returned to his coffin after a disastrous flirtation with life as a human. Nevertheless, what Blair discovers places the entire Collins family in jeopardy.

Another fantastic book by Lara Parker

I wish Lara Parker had a chance to write more novels, while she was alive. She is truly a gifted storyteller. I enjoyed Wolf Moon Rising so much. We get to spend time with many beloved (and hated) Dark Shadows' characters in this novel: Quentin, Barnabas, Julia, David, and even Elizabeth and Carolyn. We learn a lot about the Collins family history. We get vampires, werewolves, witches, seances, and even time travel in this novel.

I would be lying if I said that I did not feel the length of this novel a bit. It could have been a little shorter, but still, I thoroughly enjoyed Wolf Moon Rising. I like how short Dan "Marilyn" Ross's Dark Shadows novels are. I can easily finish them in a day or two, but I absolutely love Lara Parker's prose, and I feel that the characters really come alive in her novels.

Mesmerizing

Really enjoyed this. Differently a story worth reading or listening to.
Lara Parker pushed the limits on this one. Loved it!

NOT true to, or consistent with the actual series

Way too much license taken to vary from the original story line. disappointing. And this, from an original cast member! Has Ms. Parker forgotten that she, herself, played Angelique in the 20th Century? Oh, come now!
