Synopses & Reviews
An ancient evil hunts by the crescent moon--
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.
And desire may be a fatal mistake...
Adam Ruelle is a reclusive former Special Forces officer, the last of a 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 distract her? Something is stalking its prey in the Louisiana bayous, 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...

About the Author
LORI HANDELAND decided she wanted to be a writer when she was ten years old and was struck with the sudden fear that she might read all the books in the world and be left with nothing interesting to do.

Since then her books have spanned the contemporary, historical, and paranormal genres. She is the recipient of many industry awards, including the PRISM for Dark Paranormal romance.
Lori lives in Wisconsin with her husband, two sons, and a yellow lab named Elwood. She can be reached through her Web site: www.lorihandeland.com.
