She has to elude her husband, the police and find the girls before the deadline runs out.

Rating: - Non-Stop Action
What a unique and multi-dimensional character Mr. Douglas has created in Sara. I found myself drawn into her life right from the start. She is a strong female lead, who solves her problems herself. She doesn't go to some man to find her kidnapped niece and some man doesn't come to the rescue when she gets in trouble deep. Sara takes matters into her own hands and all I've got to say is that the guys who got between her and her kidnapped niece got what they deserved. This is a great story with a great ... Read More
Rating:  - Maybe too Intense
This is a very intense read. Sara Hackett is racing across the Australian Desert with her sister as navigator, she wants to win the race, but her car breaks down and she has to come back to America early, where she discovers her husband has left her for a young woman's he's made pregnant. Then she finds out her niece, who she had been raising has been kidnapped. Then her house is burned down and a man is found burned to death in her bed. Now the police are after Sara, but she can't worry about that, because ... Read More

I finished the book Desperation Moon and I have mixed opinions about it.
I think it all depends on what a person is willing to read. I did find the language a bit vulgar, but it was meant to be that way. It didn't bother me too much because English is a 2nd language for my dad and cursing is his first. Even so, he is everyone's PaPa in our old neighborhood.
I had a hard time with Rice wanting to rape and touching Paige especially because she was a teenager. I think it could have ... Read More
Rating: - A Book I Could Not Put Down
This is a fast paced book about two little girls who are kidnapped and how they elude their captors, while a desperate woman goes the extra mile to try and save them. I read this book over two nights and loved every second of the sleep I didn't get.
Rating: - Mucho Desperation in this Finely Tuned Thriller
In DESPERATION MOON Ken Douglas provides his readers with one of the most despicable bad guys I've come across in a long time. I'm talking about Rice, the aids infected kidnapper of two young girls, who somehow doesn't think he's a pervert, when he so obviously is. Rice is hired by Huntington Beach police officer Clay Tredway to kidnap his wife Sara Hackett's niece along with the daughter of a wealthy software developer.
Sara is a racecar driver and when she comes home early from a race in Australia, ... Read More
