Rising Moon (Nightcreature, Book 6)
Private eye Anne Lockhart has been her own client since her sister disappeared. A photograph leads her to New Orleans and jazz club musician John Rodolfo. With his haunting music and irresistible allure, Anne finds herself falling under his spell. But questions arise in the shadows and lore of the French Quarter, mysteries that speak to something sinister and not strictly human. What makes the latest in her Nightcreature series (Midnight Moon,2006;Crescent Moon,2006) stand out is how Handeland paints such a vivid portrait of the Big Easy and its inhabitants. The city itself is a character, not unlike its real-life counterpart, and the characters, human or wolf, are some of the sultriest, most wicked, and amazingly disturbing beings to play across the pages of a romantic suspense novel. Her gift to skillfully repel and attract commands the reader's attention to the very end and will lure genre readers enamored of paranormal romance or mysteries.Nina DavisCopyright © American Library Association.
