Blue Moon Nightcreature Book 1 Lori Handeland 9780312949396 Books

Werewolf murder/mystery with a wonderful h, she is tall but not beautiful, except to the H. The story combines native American mythology, with Nazis and seemingly ageless Nazi hunters, werewolves with a mix of current day issues, like racism, body image and the conveniences and challenges of modern technology. The story is takes all of these elements and weaves this with romance. The h is wonderful, very humble and struggling to work out who she could trust, all while she was falling in love with the gorgeous H. She just can't believe that he could be attracted to her, but she is also very honest with her feelings. I loved this wild ride.

Blue Moon Nightcreature Book 1 Lori Handeland 9780312949396 Books Reviews

Read this several years ago. I love all the Nightcreature novels, but this is my favorite.
I love all of Lori Handeland books. When reading her books you feel like you are there with the characters. I recommend her books.
Blue Moon is a fascinating story. I liked the first person presentation and the use of humor. This is a genre that is new to me, but I really enjoyed it. The book was well written and flowed easily. I'm now interested in reading more of Lori Handeland's books.
It really was a fluke ordering "Blue Moon" by Lori Handeland. I don't usually read "paranormal suspense/romances;" don't read "horror" stories or books; Stephen King movies (on the rare occasions that I have watched one) scare me to death and generally I have found the realism sorely wanting in these subjects.

That said, I absolutely loved this book. I urge readers who don't normally read this type of book to give this one a try.

"Blue Moon" introduces Miniwa, Wisconsin cop, Jessie McQuade, who thrives at her job in this small town that is overrun with tourists each summer. A rather plain loner, Jessie is smart, witty, and great at her job, and...lonely. Life is going along at its same somewhat boring pace when a teacher hits a wolf and is attacked. Suddenly the town seems to have a vicious pack of wolves within their midst.

Jessie discovers a wolf totem at the scene of the accident and wears it for safekeeping when she realizes that she can no longer trust those around her. Mandenauer,an old German Jager-Sucher is brought in to kill the wolves and a mutual respect develops between them. Accompanying him, Jessie becomes a hunter of these wolves as she tries to protect the town and prevent the impending ritual set to occur during the next blue moon.

Jessie encounters Prof. Will Cadotte - a Native American activist while tracking the first wolf from the car accident and later discovers that he is an authority on the subject. Their romance not only brings passion, but lends itself to realism when the issues of prejudice from both of their ethnic groups are confronted.

Credibility; realism - that is what worked for me with this book with both the supernatural and the romance. Lori Handeland does not ask the reader to simply accept the rationale of werewolves. Her storyline provides a completely plausible and believable scenario for the mutation of these wolves.

"Blue Moon" is suspenseful, romantic, and BELIEVABLE. I couldn't put it down. It was THAT good and I have just ordered Handeland's next novel, "Hunter's Moon." Great writer; great concept. I have become a fan.
At first I was afraid this would be just another Twilight, werewolf, teen angst rip off. NO. It's scary, exciting, and keeps you guessing until the very end. It's full of action with a very likable female police officer and a sexy Native American college professor. Jesse isn't a girly girl and wonders why gorgeous Will shows an interest in her. Along the way there are surprise twists and turns, and not until the very end do you finally find out exactly who the bad guys are. The characters seem very real, even though they are facing werewolves. The dialog sounds natural and the author sets the scene in small town Wisconsin surrounded by mysterious forests. The love scenes are hot without becoming cringe-worthy. I read this book straight through, and I will definitely be reading more of the series by this author. You won't regret trying this book.
