Boulder Girl: Bad Moon Rising is Cynthia L. Clark's sequel to Boulder Girl: Remember Me When the Moon Hangs Low. Lana Ross's depression while mourning the death of her fiance had taken its toll on her life. She was thankful that Leon Alvarez was in jail after she discovered that he had been stalking her. Despite Vincent's death, his parents still accepted Lana as family and allowed her to spend time with Vincent’s son Jacob. Meanwhile, Leon had taken on the identity of Les Alverson. He was a man on a mission, calling in favors from his friends and family. He started a disastrous string of fires to cover his tracks. Leon obtained a truck with a camper shell, a GPS tracker installed, and a drone with a night vision camera. Lana's life brightened after an appointment with a doctor, but this also created an opportunity that Leon could not resist.
Cynthia L. Clark built suspense from the very beginning. I feared for Lana’s life as Leon’s obsession with her grew. His determination to watch her was astounding. I found it interesting that he knew about the different technologies that could aid him. Lana’s emotions and thoughts were realistically portrayed. Her family’s reaction shocked me. The details described allowed me to envision the snowy weather in the mountains of Colorado and the sound of the motorcycles as they revved up. The unpredictable plot turns made it difficult to stop reading. Leon’s actions were not logical, which showed how twisted his thoughts were. The transitions from one person to another were effortless, and it was easy to follow the timeline of events. I would recommend Boulder Girl: Bad Moon Rising to readers who enjoy independent women facing difficulties in their daily life with the added danger of a stalker.
