Cryptozoologist Diana Malone has spent the last four years attempting to prove to the world that her deceased husband was correct and that werewolves exist. His name would no longer be laughed at, but so far she hasn’t been able to prove a thing. She accepts a job from a guy with a lot money, but physical impairments, to trap a werewolf he’s pretty sure exists in the swamps near New Orleans; many people have gone missing or were killed by animals, yet natural wolves don’t exist in Lousiana. A mansion on the edge of the swamp and owned for generations by the Ruelle family, is rented out to her to use as a base. And the owner, Adam Ruelle, who hates the memories in that place and doesn’t live there, is both mysterious and sexy as hell. They’re both immediately attracted to each other, but with all of the strange things happening, she’s having doubts about just what he is. We’re introduced to Cassandra, a white voodoo priestess who owns her own shop and immediately befriends Diana and attempts to help her find answers. This provides a level of humor between their actions and dialogue. Cassandra gets her own story in the next book, Midnight Moon. I’d read this book when it first came out and I have to say I enjoyed as much this time as I did the first time, even knowing how things pan out. It’s easy to slip into Diana’s feelings with both the attraction and uncertainty she feels for Adam, the need to find the truth and letting go of the past. And we’re given some pretty intense scenes. The mystery twist was definitely surprising the first time I read the story. This is the first book I read in the Nightcreature series, so it was a bit difficult for me to pick up on some of the finer continuity points - but overall, I think it was an excellent introduction to the series (and I was able to go back and read the prior books without having my enjoyment of them spoiled by reading Crescent Moon first, which is always nice). nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
Appartiene alle SerieNightcreature (4)
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 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 toa centuries-old enemy that lives for the smell of fear and the thrill of killing, again and again...
