Yes, Luna ends on a cliffhanger so if those drive you crazy, you may want to wait for Naomi, the third book of the series.
I don't mind the occasional cliffhanger because I'm enjoying Jane's darkly evocative writing. These are not the sexy, seduce then bite type vampires. Her vamps are feral and quite messy. They read more like serial killers than mythological beings. The push-pull dynamic between androgynous rock star Raiden and his unwilling vampire acolyte and actor Gabriel continues. Gabriel has a lot to learn about being a vampire, and Raiden is stuck teaching him. Partly unwilling of course...or not. It was rather hilarious when Gabriel turned up his rarified nose at having to feed at the vampire version of McDonald's.
What makes this story stand out is the fact that if there was no paranormal element, it would still work. Raiden and Gabriel both had enough issues as human beings since they were in thr public eye. They're more anti-heroes than heroes. Then again, their attitudes and behaviors make sense considering the nature of the business they work in. The erotic tension is perfectly mixed with the horror.

Whenever I lose myself in a book, it's a great experience.
First of all, the sexual tension is at an all-time high, and it's almost unbearable at times to read about the various suggestive encounters between beautiful Raiden and masochistic Gabriel.
More than sex, there's a real plot. I never know what to expect when reading one of Jane Bled's stories, and Luna is no exception. She has a keen wit and realistic dialogue. Her characters are flawed, and real. Sometimes angelic, often evil, her protagonists live within shades of grey. Gabriel, and especially Raiden, are both likeable and detestable.
The writing style is sensual, darkly humorous, and at times tongue-in-cheek. Jane Bled has a unique voice. I've caught myself repeating a sentence or two of the book out loud, because it has a rhythm to it.
Very intriguing. I have high hopes for Naomi.

The characters have me feeling not to sure about them. Raiden is becoming increasingly more offensive, but it might be because he doesn't want to have any feelings for Gil. And Gabriel is so whiney. I know why they act the way they do, but I don't think I like them very much. Which might make it a more interesting story for some, but I just get frustrated. Which in turn can be a good thing.....but I've read stories about characters that were anti-heroes and I liked them very much. I find much not to like about Raiden and Gabriel. So much back and forth, it can become tedious...it was for me. I'm going to go out on a limb here and say...I'm just tired of them both and don't care to read further about their story. Bringing a third person back didn't help either as I don't like females in my M/M interactions. It just seems to me like their story in being stretched out as oppose to their story building.
