Ruth earned a B.A. in American Thought and Civilization from George Washington University and an M.A. in American Studies from the University of Maryland. Although she always wanted to become a writer, Glick was convinced that her lack of spelling skills meant that her goal was unattainable. As a stay-at-home mother, she took a community college course to help her choose a career. The course made it very clear that writing was her primary interest. Glick began writing articles for newspapers and magazines, but after several years decided to try writing fiction. Her first book, a kids' science fiction book, was finally purchased by Scholastic Inc..
Since then, Glick has become a highly successful author of over 50 romantic suspense and paranormal novels. Many of her novels are published under the Harlequin Intrigue line, and in June 2003, she became one of the first authors published under Berkley's new Sensation imprint. Before 1997, she often collaborated with Eileen Buckholtz and Kathryn Jenson.
Glick also is a highly regarded author of cookbooks focusing on healthy eating. She sometimes hires trained chefs to test the recipes that she creates, and makes sure that every recipe is tested at least three times before it appears in one of her cookbooks.
Glick is the head of the Columbia Writers Workshop. She and her husband, Norman Glick, live in Columbia, Maryland, where Ruth collects rocks, and enjoys cooking, walking, reading, gardening, travel, and Mozart operas. They have two grown children, Elissa and Ethan, and two grandsons (Jesse and Leo).

I've read other books by this author and I know she can write. The premise for this book, however, was so strange that I never really got past being distracted by it. Here's the plot: . Seriously?
Maybe it's because I jumped in at Book 7. Still, nothing I read made me want to find 1-6.

While on a mission to find a safe place for her pregnant friend to hide out in, the heroine stumbles upon a ghost in the woods. The man may be invisible but he is certainly physical as he wraps his arms around her and proceeds to touch her very intimately. She doesn't know if she is terrified or if she is turned out but she knows she much concentrate on her mission. She promises the ghost she will return and with great reluctance he lets her go.
The hero has spent the last 70 years since his murder longing for human contact and now he has it. The woman from the strange world can hear him, can touch him and the thought gives him a new life (pardon the expression). When she leaves him, he cries out in mourning. He's been lonely for so long, he can't stand the idea of not being with her. But when she travels back into the portal, back into her world, he can't follow. It's this desperation to be with her that makes him remember about his wolf. So, he changes and goes through the portal with to just in time to save her from an attack, her and her friend. But back on Earth, the heroine is still confused about her feelings for the ghost. Yes, when she's in his arms she feels safe and loved but how can a woman and ghost have a future? Plus, he's seeking revenge against the family that killed him and she's taking her friend to stay with that family-awkward.
Then, one night the hero calls the heroine to him and shows her the disturbed earth when 2 men have just buried a man alive. She's not in time to save this man but the hero is in time to pass that soul on the way to the other world and be granted possession of the body left behind. Now, disoriented and confused, the hero wakes up and can feel the pain and weight of being on the mortal plain once more but.... he can't shift. The loss of his wolf is enough to sense him into chaos and the connection between his soul and the body begins to fray. The heroine, terrified at the thought of losing him, brings him to a special healer (this scene was sooooo bizarre, I can't even tell you. Basically, the healer made the heroine arouse the hero and to bring him back she entices him with the heroine's bodies. She says, don't you want to sleep with this body again?). Anyway, the hero returns only to remember that the body he's not controlling was murdered because he discovered a terrorist plot and now the hero and heroine must rush to save the world.
This book was laughably strange and very disjointed. At first, I was really loving the passion between the hero and heroine even though it was weird to have the ghost hero basically fondle the heroine that first encounter in the woods. I mean, the pour guy hasn't had contact let alone female contact in 70 years, cut him some slack. But the heroine was just confusing as she frequently judges him and can't make up her mind whether he's a good guy or a bad guy. In fact, she couldn't make up her mind about a lot of things. She had this habit, a lot of characters did in the book, of always pointing out the negative too little and no reason. She would say to the hero, you stole this body-when the man she loves has a body and he's telling her that the man was already dead. She annoyed me to no end. The plot of also pretty haphazardly put together and didn't have much direction until the terrorist plot was discovered and then I found myself wondering how in the hell this is relevant to the story so far. It was bad enough to have a werewolf ghost but to have the heroine come from another dimension and be fleeing though who want to hurt her friend- together it seemed like all the plots of a few books mashed together. I just wasn't into it. The writing style was basic and very inspiring and I found myself rolling my eyes in exasperation at some the things these characters talked about. Over all, a 2 star if very generous and I'm beginning to wonder if Rebecca York is related to Amanda Ashley in some fashion......

This book is about Quinn, a freed slave girl we are introduced to through York’s short story in Elemental Magic. It probably isn’t necessary to read the short first but it will help in understanding who Quinn, Zarrah & Griffin. Quinn seemed very weak to me. Granted she was once a slave so I can understand her bending her desires based on others but it was overdone at times. Caleb, a werewolf turned ghost turned militia man…. (yup – lots going on with him) was unlike any of the other Marshall men we’ve met and not necessarily in a good way.
We did get to see the Marshall men come together to save the day. It was nice seeing them again but I wish I could remember more about each of them as well as their mates. It has just been too long since I read the previous books.
I also liked that we got more glimpses of the alternate universe where Rhinna first came from. I think it adds a unique spin on what could otherwise be a very cookie-cutter story.
I didn't enjoy the short in Elemental Magic at all and this one wasn't stellar. I'll give the Moon series one more book before I call it quits - but it's not looking too promising at this point.

In fairness, I didn't know this was the 7th book in a series. I also wasn't aware when I packed it for my camping trip, that it was the 2nd novel about werewolves.
I think I would have liked the story better if the ghost had spent more of the story as such. I had trouble understanding the two universes, but I think if I had read the previous 6 stories, that might have felt more connected. To me, it just seemed like it was added without reason, but again, I think if I had the background the previous 6 stories offered, it would have made more sense.

it's established that i like werewolves. But a werewolf who is a ghost , who becomes who a man again, only to find himself stuck in human form? Genius. I really like the flow of rebecca york's story telling too.

Supernatural, werewolf tale. I like the series and it’s gotten more interesting with the addition of a parallel universe. Not often that you get a mix like this.

I tried it again with this author even though I said I wouldn’t. It sounded weird but I was going to give it a try. Clearly it’s never going to work out. It’s just too weird and disturbing.
I hated the opening in which Caleb and his cousin were fighting over a "flirtatious brunette." Aden killed him without really meaning to, then dressed his naked body back up in his clothes.
I did like that the males in the Marshall family only admitted their wives and kids into their packs. They live alone until they're mated.
I was so grossed out and turned off when Caleb—who is a ghost and invisible—grabbed Quinn from behind and started fondling her. Idc if you’ve been a ghost for thousands of years—and he hasn’t—you do not grab a woman like she’s a sex toy and start having your way with her. It’s not her fault you’ve been hard up for a woman because you were killed and have been a ghost ever since and no one can hear or see you. She doesn’t have to satisfy your desires. That’s not the reason women were put on earth.
She asked what he wanted with her and he said “I want . . . company.” Ew. That was so lame and pathetic. He sounded like a total loser. He started touching her breast and running his hand over her face and I had to put the book down before it went any further. There were so many things wrong with this. Namely, consent. He didn’t ask her if this was okay, he just grabbed her and started taking what he wanted. He said he wasn’t going to let her go because she would run away....Sound logic there. I’m totally on his side..
I can’t read her books. They’re too out there. The alien, other-planet thing with adepts removing a chip in her arm or something, and him taking a dead guy’s body, were all too much for me. Too weird, too gross, which is a problem I had with another of hers that I tried to read and had to stop. I got further with that one but had the same problems with crude, gross, and disturbing elements and it not being romantic at all.

November 3, 2014Book review of Ghost Moon by Rebecca York.
From goodreads.com
York delivers the seventh novel in her paranormal Moon series. A freed slave from a parallel universe, Quinn has come to this world on a mission, but she's interrupted by the ghost of Caleb, a seductive werewolf who had been murdered by the ancestors of Quinn's dearest friends.
Leona's Review:
To be honest, I needed a Y for my author's challenge of reads and found this at my library.
Quinn is from another world and has gone through a portal to the world of her friends.
Caleb was killed by his cousin 75 years ago and is a werewolf.
This book held my attention even though it is not usually the type of book I read. The author kept my interest to the end.
I did not care for the sexual language in the book but liked the relationship of the characters. As the reader, I became familiar with the characters, good and bad.
The book is fast moving and quite detailed in descriptions so the reader is not lost with the many characters and different worlds. I think they author has done a great job and I did enjoy the read. I am giving it a 4 star only because of some of the language.

Three stars. I have read all of the full sized novels in this series up to this point, but admittedly I skipped the short novella from Elemental Magic because I was having trouble getting my hands on it. I have a feeling that was part of my problem with this book. Now, York's books are never groundbreaking brilliant. But they are, normally, crisp and quick stories with likeable characters. The Moon books surround the men of the Marshall family, so they tie in together and we get to see many of the same characters throughout--I know for me that's a big plus.
The plot of this book is a bit complex to explain. You have a ghost werewolf (Caleb Marshall) haunting these woods in what is basically the universe as we know it. He was killed by his family in the 1930s and has remained in ghostly limbo in the vague hope of seeking revenge. Then you have Quinn, who is from an alternate dimension. She's working with the Marshall's (Rinna and Logan, who's story is in New Moon) to bring a pregnant woman over to our universe in order to save her from violence and political turmoil taking place in the other universe. Quinn encounters Caleb and is the only human in a long time able to see and feel him--a romance develops and Caleb begins to believe that she is his mate. But Quinn's friends and Caleb's ghostly nature threaten the fragile connection between them.
Now the good things about this book are plenty. I like the plot quite a bit, especially at first. And York maintains an ability to create intense and dynamic meetings and interactions between her couple. The first time that Caleb and Quinn meet is remarkably erotic. I liked Quinn a lot--she demonstrates intelligence, will, and strength.
Caleb on the other hand ended up being quite unlikeable. For some reason, rather then the strong steadfast Marshall man usually presented in these books, we are left with the emotionally challenged near comatose wreck that is Caleb. I understand that what happens to him is traumatic and madness inducing, but in my opinion he spends far to much time in the crazed, self hating, not really wanting to live stage. That or he's angry at everyone but those who really deserve it. He's frustrating and he brings the book down. The other negative for me, as I touched on briefly above, was that I wasn't able to read the story in Elemental Magic, so I missed out on the story of Quinn's best friend and how she fell in love. As such I wasn't emotionally attached to her and other than Quinn's concern for her, no real care what happened to her. So I would advise reading that one first if possible.
I still like this series a lot, though I wish it would get back to the basics as far as the Marshalls and their struggle. I would recommend starting with Killer Moon if you have not already.

Caleb Marshall is a ghost limited to the area where his cousin buried him after they fought over a girl. The area happens to be along the path that Quinn has to take from the alternate world portal to Rina & Logan Marshall’s house in the Maryland woods. Logan is a descendant of the cousin.
When Caleb finds out Quinn can see and hear him he does all he can to attract her attention. They are attracted to each other, but being he’s’ ghost creates a lot of problems. Then something happens that changes all that, but can Caleb cope with his new situation.
I love how each story brings all the Marshalls together in way that doesn't feel contrived. At first I didn’t like the paramilitary problem, but then as it started to fit into the story it became very interesting. And the interaction between the two worlds is starting to feel right, through its still inconvenient.
Quick Thought: 1) I wish this would get back to the Marshall wolves in our world and not so much SciFi of the alternate world.
Fave Scenes: Caleb’s first meal, guards & the gun, Pamina bringing Caleb back and Quinn & Olivia’s plan.

Number 7 in the Moon series. First off, the sex is HOT. Second, the storyline has a neat twist to it that I wish had been explored further. Additionally, there's lots of action, intrigue, paranormal romance although I wish the paranormal had been explored further regarding the abilities in the other universe, and lots of characters. I'm sure that if I had read the other books in the series already then I'd have an idea of who some of these other characters were; on the other hand it's kind of annoying when you read a series book that takes up a ton of pages explaining ALL the "in previous episodes" information. Overall this was a pretty good book and I'd be willing to read more in the series.

If you like werewolf stories this is a good series. York has a somewhat different take on the traditional werewolf theory and deviates from tradition but in a good way. She makes it work. Bringing the family together and making it possible to fix their genetic problems makes an interesting read. Adding the parallel universe is a good touch and adds another dimension (pun intended) to the story line. I have read the entire series to here and plan on reading the next one and any she may add. Would recommend.

Very odd & yet cogent with a female heroine of strong identity and backbone if not sense of personal will & empowerment. I think if I'd read the prior novel featuring the heroine, this story would have been more emotionally satisfying.

Another book in the Moon series that i just couldn't put down. Finding myself closer and closer to the most recent book in a hurry. Loving the characters and even how you are learning about new members of the Marshall family, previous members from earlier books make reappearances. So great!
