Phantom Moon
When a hunt becomes a nightmare
Lotte barely settled into her new life as an ICRA agent when an executive order sends her on a mission to Berlin—the latest location of a vamp serial killer no one seems to be able to catch.

The evidence laid before her is irrefutable.
Only it doesn’t make hunting a loved one any easier.
Can Lotte go through with her job? Or will her bias allow a killer to walk free?!

Absolutely wonderful reading as always. The main character and storyline were just a perfect match together. I can’t wait for the next one.

Lotte was a werewolf who 9 months ago attained demon powers. The Leshy she chased now with her fellow agents was extremely powerful and cast illusions all around them to confuse and befuddle. After leaping through a blazing fire that wasn’t real, Lotte closed her eyes and pulled on the power of her other-sight, allowing her to “see” him, to sense his presence, even though confusing, distracting illusions still surrounded her. Her other-sight continued to hold true on his image. She approached and threw a demon-fire orb at the Leshy before he knew what she was up to and killed him. Turning to race to a shed that held 3 humans, a vamp, and a half-Leshy, probably the dead one’s son, she was attacked by all of them as she subdued the half-Leshy she was ordered to capture alive. The witch who would have helped her was delayed, so the vamp clamped onto her throat as she fought one-handed, still holdling the half-Leshy by the neck. By the time the witch arrived and tossed the vamp across the room, a bloodied Lotte sunk into darkness and let her werewolf body heal itself.
Lotte, still a rookie, was still settling into her life as an ICRA agent, responsible for capturing human and supernatural criminals, when Superintendent General Gabler singled her out and sent her to Berlin to locate a vamp serial killer, not just as part of the team but as the lead! This new case, however, is troubling to her personally. A vampire, or perhaps two, is killing victims, draining them of blood, ripping out throats, and carving magic-based symbols on their chest and abdomen. When Senior Agent Roth tells her who they suspect as the rogue agent responsible, Lotte cannot accept that -- Isa Vogt was her mentor who would never do this. Lotte was brought into the case because they believed Isa would allow no one else but Lotte to come near her! Now Lotte is ready to search for Isa -- while also looking for the real killer!
As expected, this author gives us another exciting book with a story line that won’t slow down! The characters are well-portrayed, and the mystery and intrigue keeps the reader fully invested in the fast-paced story. Grab your copy and see whether Lotte can prove Isa innocent and find out what is going on here! Corruption within their organization may go higher than they realize!

I just love this series especially Lotte. She is written as such a strong heroine.
Overall the story is very complex with twists and turns with just enough steaminess to fit in with the story and detract from it.
When I read this series, it is constantly challenging my mind to solve the mystery. Gaja writes the story so well and reveals little clues just like peeling an onion. I am still surprised when the mystery is solved, but instead of being content that it is solved, I find myself wanting to read what is next in the saga of Lotte.
It was also great to see characters from the nightwraith series appear in the story.
Overall everytime I get notified by Gaja of a new upcoming book, I can hardly wait to get my hands on it.
Gaja Kos is one of my favourite authors and a no brainer to buy on amazon.
The world that she builds is believable and captivating to read.
A note to Gaja - please don't make me wait too long for the next installment of Lotte.

Our heroine is part of the supernatural law enforcement agency and is tasked with finding a killer in Berlin. But the evidence points to a friend, so now she doesn't know where to turn.
This is book four in the series, but it works well as a standalone. You will be missing some of the background, but are the essentials are covered pretty quickly.
This is a paranormal story with a murder mystery vibe. The story is solid and well written, with a good strong plot and well developed characters that draw you into the story. I really liked our heroine who is tough and smart and knows not to take everything at face value. There are several twists and turns along the way which will keep the reader guessing and engaged in the story. Overall, I really enjoyed it and look forward to going back to the earlier stories.
Highly recommended.

This fourth book in the Lotte Freundenberger series by Gaja J Kos was a supernatural and paranormal reader's dream as it had werewolves, demons, witches, and vampires, as well as half-bloods for good measure. At its heart, this was a very erotic romantic suspense thrill ride as one of the major characters, Lotte, a half-werewolf and half-demon, played sexually with both males and females. And of course, those encounters were described in vivid and erotic details by the author to add some spice to what otherwise would be a very dark and depressing story about the battles between the IRCA and the creatures practicing dark magic. The hunt for the truth and the battle that ensued made for a graphic and gory part of the story. This is a voluntary review of an Advanced Reader Copy of this book from Booksprout.

This is book number 4 in this series.
I never read a book in this series before and it said you could read it is a standalone. You can.
It does give you advance when you do read the other books first I think, so you know who is who around Lotte.
Lotte is a werewolf and part demon.
For her work she has to trace somebody she knows and for a crime she didn’t think Isa would have done. So Lotte plays along and goes searching not only for Isa but also for the truth.
A great read full of action.
A bit different since it is playing in various German cities, which I did like.
Lotte is a clever and smart woman who knows who she can trust and how to fight.
Really liked this a lot and I certainly want to read more from this writer.

What a brilliantly well written book. Lotte is such a fantastic character, strong, sassy and snarky and whilst she is a new agent she is very good. She is a free thinker and that is quite a good thing. But what will her reaction be when someone she trusts and loves is accused of a heinous crime? Can she catch a killer and clear the name of Isa? The author takes us on a journey jampacked with action, intrigue and wonderfully crafted characters. The plot is well thought out and perfectly executed and the author's writing style is easy to read and captivating.

“Don’t try to deny what you feel, even if it doesn’t make sense to you at the moment.”
Lotte didn't set out to become an ICRA agent, but now that she is one she's going to do the job as only she can, with determination, the help of trusted friends... and on her own terms.
One of the greatest strengths of this series is that it not only remembers past events, but Lotte faces the consequences of past actions and has to deal with the repercussions of past choices and missions.
In every way possible she is growing and evolving, as an agent, as an adult with her personal relationships, and as a supernatural being.

This book wasn't straightforward. The characters were deeply depicted as being flawed, a realistic approach to something fantastical. The story is well written and after my initial puzzlement thoroughly enjoyable - however it did take me a whole to lose myself in the plot. It was worth persevering as it was certainly a four star read, losing one star due to the time it took to lay the story.

Elements of the Shadow World reveal themselves to her in new ways, and conflict there and in her IRCA pack reveal themselves and promise further challenges and developments
Intense action adventure and psychological drama

Action-packed 4 ½ stars - As expected, the story is full of action. It delivered an exciting plot that includes mystery, steamy sex, supernaturals and badass heroine. Awesome read! [I received an advanced copy of this book and voluntarily chose to review it.]
