About The Full Moon:
Kathy and her sister, Samantha, have always been a team. Throughout
their time as witches, they've taken out more than their share of bad
guys. But after Kathy meets Will, who she learns is a demonic Dark
Knight, her loyalties begin to change.
Meanwhile, Samantha doesn't trust Will or his intentions. Still, Kathy can't help but feel tempted by the dark side as she falls deeper in love with Will. Crossing over would give Kathy the freedom to do whatever she wanted with her magic. No rules. No limitations. It would also mean breaking the bond she has always shared with her sister, who has made it clear that she wants nothing to do with the dark side.
When Will proposes they take over the underworld, Kathy loves the idea of having power. But it also leaves her with a choice that will change her life: abandon her family and the life she has always known, or give up the love of her life forever.

Excerpt:
The two were so consumed with each other that they didn’t hear the
splashing of the water. It wasn’t until Kathy felt a slimy hand on
her leg that her attention was brought back to reality.
She landed with a thud on the pier as something pulled her into the
water. The water was up to her waist by the time Will had hold of
both of her arms and pulled her up. The splash of the water hid the
creature from sight, which Kathy was grateful for. She didn’t want
Will to see. She might be able to still pass this off as her being
clumsy.
Once she was safely on deck, Will asked if she was all right. She
barely had time to nod before Vepar lunged from the water and
landed on the edge of the pier. He hissed at the couple, spraying
them with water and slime.
Kathy put her hands up and froze both Vepar and Will. She needed to
act quickly. She knew there would likely have been people in the
hotel or farther down the pier who had seen or heard the commotion.
She searched for her purse that held the potion to kill the water
creature, but she couldn’t find it. She must’ve dropped it in the
water when he first pulled her in.
She needed to get Will away safely without exposing who she was. If
that was even still possible. She could easily have unfrozen him
and ran, but then she would be facing twenty questions about what
happened. She wasn’t ready for that conversation with him yet.
Before she could think of anything, her magic wore off and both
Will and Vepar unfroze. The creature swiped at Will with his claws,
tearing his blazer. Kathy pulled off her shoes and drove a heel
into the creature’s back. She saw the point of the knife she’d
stabbed him with the week before and knew it wouldn’t stop him. He
turned and pushed her. Landing on the edge of the pier, she moved
to get up, but when she shifted her weight she lost her balance and
began to topple into the dark water. She gripped the bollard on the
edge of the pier to keep herself from falling in.
Looking up at Will, she saw him charge Vepar, and a large sword
appeared in his hands. Swinging it sideways, he tore through the
creature’s flesh and its head dropped to the dock. He kept swinging
until pieces of Vepar scattered across the end of the pier. When he
was done, he stood and admired his work, huffing and puffing. Kathy
could see blood sprayed across his face in the moonlight. The sword
in his hand disappeared, and he reached down to help lift Kathy
back onto the dock.
He looked at her and said, “Grab the other end of the net over
there and help me round up the body before anyone sees.”
