Synopsis
When the moon changes its shape, temptation and terror become one...New Orleans is known for sinful pleasures and strange magic, but for cryptozoologist Diana Malone it offers one irresistible attraction. For over a hundred years there have been whispers of the wolves around the Crescent City, and the recent discovery of bodies in the nearby swamps hints at a creature even more dangerous...one that could make Diana's career and fortune, if she lives to capture it.Adam Ruelle is a reclusive former Special Forces officer, the last of the mysterious Cajun family rumored to be cursed, and the only person skilled enough to guide Diana in her search. Rugged and captivating, he fills her nights with desire...but by day, Diana is plagued with doubts. Adam clearly knows more than he's telling, but is his aim to protect her or to distract her? Something is stalking its prey in the Louisiana bayou, and every step towards the horrifying truth brings Diana closer to a centuries-old enemy that lives for the smell of fear and the thrill of killing, again and again...
Review
A cleverly written book that combines a sensible start with fantasy fiction of warewolves and voodoo spirits - not something that is expected but Handeland has really taken into consideration old myths and legends and their origins when writing the book, and blended them with the modern day so well that it makes the reader feel that running around chasing warewolves could infact be a perfectly normal activity!
A book that will no doubt be popular given the recent Twilight mania, however not one for younger readers as there are some fairly graphic love scenes involved.
I will definately be reading more by the same author.
