Officer Jessie McQuade has seen much in her job as a policewoman, but strange things have been happening lately. The normally subdued wolves in the area are striking out, attacking humans for no apparent reason. As she investigates deeper, more and more leads don’t tie up, and many doubts surface. Everything comes back to the huge, lone black wolf she keeps seeing everywhere. Will Cadotte is an expert in Native American mythology and the logical person for her to turn to when an animal totem charm is found. He has a lot of answers, but even more questions are raised as he helps in her investigation. The things he talks about are unbelievable to Jessie, things that just cannot be.

As things grow stranger and the time for the full moon, a rare Blue Moon, draws near, danger is more imminent and Jessie doesn’t know what to believe. All of the evidence is pointing to something she can’t even begin to comprehend or accept. Is it really something supernatural and therefore beyond her control? And what about Will, is he friend or foe, incredible lover or deadly enemy, man or man-wolf? Want to know the answers, then drop everything and read this book!

Wow! This story packs a punch! If readers want an incredible werewolf story with a twist, then Blue Moon is one that must be read. Welcome back to the paranormal genre, Ms. Handeland! This story is one of the best this reviewer has read in quite a while. The plot leaps and bounds forward, like the running wolves, but is not in the slightest bit confusing or disturbing. One will become entrenched in the story from the very first line. The Native American mythological spin on the legend of the werewolves adds depth to the story, making it all the more intriguing for the tantalizing glimpses into those beliefs.

This story is absolutely incredible and the only bad thing about it? That it can’t go on forever! Have no fear readers, there are already at least two more books in the works to extend this foray into the otherworldly. Ms. Handeland has a breakout hit with this series! This reviewer is one fan who will be impatiently awaiting the next chapter in the saga.
