I'm so glad that I've been reading this series in order. Unbelievable that they actually worked together, still not sure about Vera Sinclair.. They really need this break and time off. Harold might make an Agent some day. Logan is a good guy, just don't hurt the innocent. Gardy is even coming around.
Yes Harold you are the best IT GEEK Agent. Watch out Gardy he's coming for your job. The who upper crust FBI is corrupt, they are all about themselves.

Excellent Book !!
This was my absolute favorite book of the series ! The ending was amazing and I can’t wait to read more. If you have not started this series, you should definitely go take a look of this one and all of Dan Padavona’s work as he is an amazing author ! I have read all of his books, and I have never been disappointed !

I just finished an advanced reader copy of Dan Padavona’s latest Scarlet and Wolf book. This is book 15 in the series, and we have come to a new crisis point. It would really be helpful to have read back at least 4-5 books to appreciate how the author had tied up so many loose story lines. The trio of Gardy, Scarlet and Harold continue on the run, led by Wolf; trying to evade the relentless pursuit by a hyper focused Agent Vera Sinclair, hellbent on a lethal ending for the fugitives. The tenuous bond between the fugitives is sorely tested and they start to doubt Wolf and his mission, wondering if he is truly a “lone” Wolf. As they hunt for the elusive Gentleman serial killer, who is reprising previous infamous killers while taunting Wolf himself, young students are being murdered under the noses of the campus police. An agonizing escape into the freezing woods puts Harold at risk of dying, after Wolf leaves on his own again. Will Wolf make good on his promises to save them? This is a pivotal book in the saga as dire circumstances are crashing to an uncertain end. Can this finally be the demise of the fugitives? Very hard to put this book down for a break. You will definitely enjoy this most intense novel and loose ends may come together....or will they?

A definite must read book and series!!!
WOW! I did not see that coming! Lol!
Ok, now that I got that out of my system I can begin with this book. It was a very intense, complex, and suspenseful thriller that began years ago when Logan Wolf was still a Profiler for the FBI. He initially profiled this unsub, was gathering all of the evidence, witness statements, and had narrowed down the list of possible unsub's, until his boss ultimately shut down his investigation. As we've learned, Wolf is not one to give up easily. Now this serial killer is back with a vengeance. However, so are the FBI Agents who are tasked with capturing Wolf and his unconventional team. It's certainly going to be interesting to see who, if any, actually gets caught.
I would definitely recommend this book, series, and exceptional author.

Blood Moon Rising - a review by Rosemary Kenny.
I have always enjoyed the thrill of the chase between the fugitive FBI profilers Logan Wolf and Scarlett Bell, Agent Neil Gardy, and IT/tech genius Harold - and their boss, Vera Sinclair.
In Blood Moon Rising by Dan Padavona, one of Wolf's chameleon-like former opponents resurfaces to taunt him, while leaving a trail of mutilated victims.
I found Blood Moon Rising to be completely riveting and I also really wanted to know if there was any way back for Scarlett and the others, which is revealed in the final chapters.
Absolutely unputdownable, this book will grip you firmly by the imagination throughout - go get it today!

I find it AMAZING that 2 of the FBI agents that died in the previous book (one by decapitation) are BOTH alive and well in this book. This is a "series". What kind of idiot author kills off 2 characters (by decapitation and gutting no less) only to bring them both back in the very next book? I guess they found his head, reattached it, then brought the other one back to life after having been gutted. GIVE ME A BREAK! This author had ONE BOOK that wasn't a complete waste of time. EVERY BOOK IS THE SAME! Do yourself a favor and skip this author and this series, you have better things to do with your time!!!

What an ending!!! Blood Moon Rising was incredible in my opinion. Dan Padavona gave me one heck of a rollercoaster ride. Fugitives solving crimes, being persuade by FBI Scarlett, Gardy and Wolf have their hands full trying figure out who is copying some of the most prolific serial killers. Blood Moon Rising was full of suspense, action and darkness. Dan Padavona gave me the ending I've been hoping for sense about book 10 or so. If you've been reading this series from the start, I think you will love it. I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced reader's copy.

Suspenseful
This one was tense not took me a while to finish it because it created heart palpitations. I had to start and stop. But as I finish it, I'm relieved at the outcome because the possibility that the story going the other direction was what was stressful. The writing of Dans is so descriptive that its impossible not to feel a part of the story.

the saga continues
The game of cat-and-mouse between Agent Sinclair and the fugitives continues to New York, where a homicide piques Wolf’s instincts with clues indicating a past serial killer - profiled years earlier by Wolf - has thrown down the gauntlet once again.

Unbelievable
Waited with bated breath that seems to have taken forever. I would read every book in hope that the truth would finally be revealed. Hoping the next chapter brings more truths.

The Hunt is Over
The Scarlett and Logan books are by far the best series I’ve ever read. The suspense and horror that came with hunting serial killers and the loyal to one another made these books so intense. A MUST READ!

I loved this book and think the series has just got better and better. I'm really hoping there will be more. Love the characters and how they've developed across the series with of course Scarlett being my favourite... or is it Wolf idk. I did hope at one point for a romance between S and W...

you just over know!
You think you have read the best ever and the making comes another. I hate to think this series will end after book 16. Is this true?

I really love this series and enjoyed this book immensely but i'm confused as there is no explanation as to how Agents Price and Alvarez came back to life after being killed in the last book
