Product Description

Review

"Danger, excitement, and chills leap off the pages, no one delivers better thrills than Handeland." Romantic Times"

Product Description

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 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 a mysterious Cajun family rumoured to be cursed, and the only person skilled enough to guide Diana in her search. Rugged and captivating, he fills her night 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 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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Handeland Has Mastered the Werewolf Tale, 1 Jun 2006
By K. Montgomery "http://lurvalamode.wordpress.com" (Columbus, GA) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
The fourth in Handeland's Moon series (with this installment it's changed to the Nightcreature sereis) is a spectacularly engrossing read. Hooked from the first page till the very last, it was difficult to put the book down till I'd finished it. Handeland's talent just keeps rising and rising and "Crescent Moon" surely will land her in the paranormal romance hall of fame.

Diana is a cryptozoologist hired to find a wolf rumored to be terrorizing the swamps surrounding New Orleans, a place where no wolves are supposed to be. Thrilled to have a chance at proving the impossible to the world, she accepts and is soon immersed in The Crescent City's world of danger, intrigue and murder. Something is definitely killing the locals and though no one wants to tell, Diana is determined to discover this deep dark secret. She's in need of a guide for the swamps and when her first is inconviently disposed of in walks local Adam Ruelle to take up the slack. Rumor has it his family is cursed, deranged....mad. What Diana finds is a sexy and mysterious man that burns up her nights and he vows to protect her from anything she might find. But is he for real? Or is hiding something of his own? Strange beginnings on her trip to the Crescent City just keep getting stranger and Diana soon knows without a doubt that she is headed for danger.

This installment is without a doubt the most solid of the series to date. Emotionally engaging, witty and unique characters, from the hero and heroine to the spunky voodoo priestess Cassandra, ensure readers will love this book for that aspect alone. Diana's character was strong, level-headed and reading her dialogue was so much fun. Adam's mysterious allure was the perfect ignitor for the puzzling circunstances surrounding the wolf (and his obvious sex appeal didn't hurt either). The plot was enthralling, with so many twists and turns and it kept me on the edge of my seat, wanting to know, no, needing to know what happened next. This installment could almost stand alone, but some characters from the previous title, "Dark Moon", do make a guest appearance and their inclusion enriches the story nicely. The previous titles are good reads as well, but "Crescent Moon" lands the entire series on my keeper shelf. The great news too is there will be more books after this one and all I cannot wait to read them all! Five very enthusiastic stars!

4.0 out of 5 stars NEW SERIES FOR HANDELAND, 1 Mar 2006
Diana Malone, four years widowed and a discredited cryptozoologist (ie, seeker of new species), is hired to investigate stories of wolves in the Louisiana bayou, where they are supposedly extinct. She sets up camp in the derelict Rouelle Mansion, and is soon involved in a passionate affair with Adam Rouelle. Life is complicated, however, by the number of bodies piling up in the swamp- including her guide, and a local woman who tells her about the curse on the Rouelle family. It gets even more complicated when she meets the recently dead walking around and, er, snarling.
Confused by the contradictory evidence regarding wolf attacks, haunted by premonitions and strange dreams, she seeks the advice of a Vodoun priestess, Cassandra. There is some fascinating lore on Vodoo, and Diana also discusses the ambivalent relationship between her and Adam. One minute he is a tender, sexy lover, the next, he wants her to leave the swamp. It is soon clear that Adam is protecting the secrets of the swamp. The next question is, is he protecting her? Or lining her up as the next victim?
Whilst this is supposed to be a new series, it inhabited the same world as the previous 'Moon' books. Unlike many recent paranormals where werewolves are superhuman shapeshifters and often very sexy, Handeland's werewolves are soulless killers you do not want to meet on a dark night. Whilst the story generally flows well, I did have some criticisms. I was a little irritated that Diana took so long to solve the 'secret' of the swamp when it was obvious to me much earlier in the story. Also, I found Adam's 'accent' an annoying distraction, and less than convincing. Frankly, I think this could have been a better book if it had been a bit more vigorously edited, but that aside, I did enjoy reading it, hence the four stars, especially the bits involving Cassandra- I hope she features in future books as she was such a strong character.

3.0 out of 5 stars Luna loon fun, 22 Jun 2009
Ludricously silly plot; CSI meets werewolves, meets Nancy Drew meets Pride & Prejudice in a modern world. If you are happy to accept that this is the "silliest, silliest thing" you should enjoy it immensely. Not quite as laugh out loud silly as some very similar books I've read, but still most amusing. I for one gobbled it up with a grin on my face from start to finish. Not sure I will be actively seeking out further titles though.
