Lori Handeland

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.

Our heroine, Anne Lockheart, is a young private investigator, a tomboy, bright and feisty. Her sister disappears and, following the trail of a photo she has been sent anonymously, Anne goes to the Rising Moon bar in New Orleans to find her.

The story is set in a steamy, smelly, sultry New Orleans, complete with jazz and voodoo. The atmosphere is palpable, brilliantly described.
