What is so interesting about Cheri Scotch's series is that she manages to combine so many different elements in relatively short books. These books have it all. We have mystery/detective work; historical background and sweeping drama; we have several love stories; supernatural, including voodoo and of course, werewolf folklore; interesting backdrops of New Orleans, as well as other interesting places. We also have interesting personal relationships: parent/child; lovers; revenge; friendship....But most of all, good triumphing over evil. Oh, did I mention the religious storyline? You name an element, it is here.
These books manage to combing countless characters, most of which are included in all three books; and countless storylines without being unhinged or confusing. Holt manages to go back and forth in time periods with different characters and pull it all together in the end.
I liked Cheri Holt's take on how one becomes a werewolf. Her ideas were very different than I have read. I also liked the way she dragged voodoo in and made it part of the wolf-lore. The details of voodoo were as interesting as the wolf details.
I am not going to go into the plotlines of these books, because frankly, I don't think I could. They are all just too complex to describe...and believe me I tried. I was trying to sum it up for a friend and failed miserably.
What I would like to know, is where is Cheri Holt? Why did she write three great books almost ten years ago people are still raving about and then disappear? And where are the book publishers? Hello!! Can we say reprint here? There are still buckets off money to made with her wonderful books...
Sincerely,
