Lunatics is tacky, silly, a bit smutty, but absolutely wonderful. A good read. (

Every full moon, the goddess Lilith, she of the sumptuous body, black wings and chicken feet, descends to earth. Initially, she was drawn to Jack to help him recover from the loss of the woman he loved. But when Jack's friends become concerned by his peculiar behavior (getting naked in the full moonlight, to begin with), Lilith can't resist "helping" them with their own love lives. What ensues is sweet and sexy, romantic and hilarious. I can't believe I waited this long to read it! (

Denton craziness. In this case, our hero is in love with Lilith, goddess of the moon who he meets by perching naked once a month outside his home in Austin. The novel is actually about his circle of dysfunctional friends and their efforts to tap into his magic to help them survive. (
