Skinwalkers: Bad Moon Rising (SO KEWL)

This is the first time that I've read anything by Lorraine Kennedy, and  with Skinwalkers I'm presently surprised.

In this book, the paranormal is based on Native American lore; the Navajo to be exact. This is the second book I've read with a Native American slant, and I'm finding that I enjoy the mystical edge that it gives the story.

Mya wants to become a policewoman and goes to Arizona to spend the
summer with her uncle Donny to gain practical experience. When the killing started, her uncle started telling her about Skinwalkers, Sinapo, and Dineh; all connected to the Navajo reservation.

Mya is having a hard time handling her uncle not giving her straight answers to her questions. When Donny says anything to Mya about the murders or about her own life, it always seems to revolve around their small town and the legends of the Navajo.

Knowing that her life is about to change in a dramatic way, Mya wants to get information from David. David is mysterious and illusive, and somehow connected to the legends as well. However, David keeps giving her the run around too. Mya is confused about a lot of things, but
she knows that David is connected to her and whatever is going on with the murders.

Mya's confusion about who she is, what she has to do with the murders, and her connection with David is starting to get to her, and with what Trent has told her, she is starting to think she may finally get some answers.

David knows exactly who Mya is and what she means for him; and he knows that staying away from her is going to be impossible. He has a sacred duty that he must uphold or the people will suffer. But sense Mya is more like her mother, does that change the prophecy?

Mya is supposed to be killed, but will David allow that to happen regardless of what the prophecy says?

I enjoyed the way this story was told. They're quite a few twists that are well placed within the story to create shock, anger and an undying love. I only noticed one or two typos. Other than that, the book was great.

If you like the paranormal and Native American lore, then you will enjoy this book a great deal. Lorraine, you've done a great job.
