Crescent Moon (Nightcreature #4) by Lori Handeland
[(Crescent Moon)] [By (author) Lori Handeland] published on (February, 2006) - Lori Handeland

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 to a centuries-old enemy that lives for the smell of fear and the thrill of killing, again and again…

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I've only read a few books in this series but the ones I have read are fantastic.

Its not hard to follow along with the books even though I haven't read the full series straight though because Handeland makes it easy to follow along her characters journey right from the start.

I love her take on the supernatural, its fun, its exciting and heck its sexy. I can't deny Adam can get you humming right along with the down south of his bad boy personality word for word.

You get some romance, you get some mystery and you get a whole world of paranormal to enjoy.

I actually look forward to getting into this series from the first book all the way to the newest one sometime soon.

und dabei knistert die luft auch noch vor lauter erotischer phantasien... ;)

ich bekomm schon kopfweh von den vielen infos, dem ganzen input... *bäh*

We are nearing the end of Wedding Seaon! Let's attend so far out nuptials to close it out.

 

In these Romance Novels, wedding or weddings are at the center of the plot  in Paranormal, Science Fiction or Fantasy Romance. 

 

My lists are never in any particular order. Enjoy!

 

1. Don't Bite the Bridesmaid by Tiffany Allee

 

Alice Shepard needs one thing: a date for her sister's wedding. And not just any date. A hunk who will make her fiancé rue the day he left her for her best friend. Her drop-dead gorgeous neighbor fits the bill—even if he is a bit quirky and never comes out during the day—and Alice has downed just enough appletinis to ask him. But she makes it quite clear that there will be no funny business.
 
Spending a week on a cruise ship full of humans while sleeping close to his sexy next-door neighbor sounds like a helluva bad idea to vampire Noah Thorpe. But his friends need time to get him out of a shotgun wedding—a vampire bonding that will tie his fate to a female vampire he's never met. And Alice's offer comes at just the right time.
 
What could possibly go wrong?
 
 
An "ordinary" wedding can get crazy enough, so can you imagine what happens when otherworldly creatures are involved? Nine of the hottest authors of paranormal fiction answer that question in this delightful collection of supernatural wedding stories. What's the seating plan when rival clans of werewolves and vampires meet under the same roof? How can a couple in the throes of love overcome traps set by feuding relatives---who are experts at voodoo? Will you have a good marriage if your high-seas wedding is held on a cursed ship? How do you deal with a wedding singer who's just a little toogood at impersonating Elvis?
 
3. Death's Angel by Heather Killough-Walden
 
As the former Archangel of Death, Azrael has always stood apart from his brothers. Cursed to rule from the darkness, he is not only one of the four favored archangels, but the very first vampire, and king among his kind. Sophie Bryce is a woman scarred by the dark secrets of her past. Though she is overwhelmingly attracted to the brooding archangel, she simply cannot believe that she is the one fated to be with such an extraordinary being. But Azrael has known differently from the moment he laid eyes on Sophie and he will stop at nothing to win her heart - even if he has to fight an army of unimaginable evils to do so...
 
4. Possessed by a Warrior by Sharon Ashwood
 

A dazzling dress is wreaking havoc—and costing lives… 

 

The violent death of her uncle sends Chloe Anderson reeling—and rushing to his estate. As coexecutor of Jack's will, she assumes that he has left her something. What she doesn't expect is a bejeweled wedding gown with a note warning her to trust only his business partner—dark, mysterious and sexy Sam Ralston. 

 

Chloe's been burned in love, but never bitten, and there's something about Sam that keeps drawing her in, despite her fears. The attraction is mutual, intense, and it takes all of Sam's willpower to hide his fangs. With Chloe's career at stake and murderous thieves hot on their trail, the vampire vows to protect her. But can he save her from himself?

 

5. Gaze by Viola Grace

 

Gaze has recently discovered the joy of vision and the scientists gave her every type that they could think of. She is partnered with the Blue Fairy, and together, they retrieve Guardians in diplomatic service and drop them at their next destination.

Shiver is a multi-shifter who knows his ideal woman when he sees her. Too bad she has no idea what he truly is or has she seen straight through his disguise and his armour.

The Blue Fairy is a perky and helpful ship with her mind on getting her pilot a mate and keeping him in good working order. Work. Work. Work.

 

6. Always the Vampire by Nancy Haddock

 

t's not easy being a dutiful maid of honor when you're a vampire in the Sunshine State... 

Cesca Marinelli has been slacking on her duties as a vampire princess, but she will be the best maid of honor ever for Maggie's Victorian wedding. However, when her mostly-human honey, Saber, falls ill due to a magical construct called the Void, she knows she'll have to go beyond the call of bridesmaid duty... 

The Void is affecting every supernatural being in Cesca's afterlife, including her shapeshifter ex, Triton. To counter the Void's reign of terror, Cesca must fully summon her vampire powers-which may lead to her own doom.

 

7. How to Marry a Millionaire Vampire by Kerrelyn Sparks

 

So what if he's a bit older and usually regards a human female as dinner, not a dinner date? Yes, Roman Draganesti is a vampire, but a vampire who lost one of his fangs sinking his teeth into something he shouldn't have. Now he has one night to find a dentist before his natural healing abilities close the wound, leaving him a lop–sided eater for all eternity.

 

Things aren't going well for Shanna Whelan either...After witnessing a gruesome murder by the Russian mafia, she's next on their hit list. And her career as a dentist appears to be on a downward spiral because she's afraid of blood. When Roman rescues her from an assassination attempt, she wonders if she's found the one man who can keep her alive. Though the attraction between them is immediate and hot, can Shanna conquer her fear of blood to fix Roman's fang? And if she does, what will prevent Roman from using his fangs on her...

 

8. The Eldritch Conspiracy by Cat Adams

 

Celia Graves was once an ordinary human, but those days are long gone. Now she strives to maintain her sanity and her soul while juggling both vampire abilities and the powers of a Siren. 

 

Not every bride needs a bridesmaid who can double as a bodyguard. But Celia's cousin Adriana is no ordinary bride: she's a Siren princess, and she's marrying the king of a small but politically important European country. She's getting death threats from fanatics who want to see the whole Siren race wiped out-including Celia herself, who is half Siren.

 

Luckily, Celia is on duty when a trip to a bridal salon is interrupted by an assassination attempt, so everyone survives. When Adriana returns to the Siren homeland to try to prevent a coup, Celia is free to hunt for the terrorists and the vile mage who is helping them (while keeping her eyes open for the perfect maid-of-honor dress). 

 

Assuming the bride and groom both live to see their wedding day, this will be one royal wedding no one will ever forget.

 

9. Happily Never After by Jeaniene Frost

 

Isabella Spaga is about to reluctantly walk down the aisle with Mr. Dangerously Wrong…but not if dashing vampire Chance has anything to say about it. As a favor to Bones, Chance has come to derail this wedding of beauty to the beast. Now if only he can keep his hands off the bride. From New York Times bestselling author Jeaniene Frost’s Night Huntress world, it’s the wedding of the season…that everyone wants to miss.

 

10. Tall, Dark & Hungry by Lynsay Sands

 

A British lass who falls hard for a tasty immortal in-law she meets when she crosses the ocean to attend a cousin’s New York wedding.

 

Did I miss one? Let me know!

Excellent Story, Excellent Trilogy
Smoke on the Water (Sisters of the Craft) - Lori Handeland

**I received an ARC of this story in exchange for an honest review**

Willow Black is a patient in a mental health facility. She is there for attempted murder and for a terrifying fear of water. When she looks into water, she tends to see the future against her will and when she saw a man she had a vision of killing her, she tried to kill him instead. Only, nobody believed her. Sebastian Crane is the new administrator of the mental facility that Will is a patient of. He’s also the man she has had in-depth visions of a future and life together since she was 12. Unfortunately, while he is drawn to Willow, he doesn’t have the same gift of sight and feels he’s breaking the rules by wanting her. When strange things keep happening when Willow is around and with another patient, Sebastian keeps getting drawn back to her.

This the third book in Lori Handeland’s Sisters of the Craft trilogy. In this one, we meet Willow, the sister that neither the ghostly parents nor the other two sisters has been able to find. Unlike the other two sisters, Willow’s life was filled with bouncing from foster home to foster home and a less than good life. It starts roughly 2 months before the first book. When she finally meets her sisters and learns of her heritage, it’s a little harder for her with the acceptance and adjustment. She’s also tasked with a bit more of a challenge in getting Sebastian to see that they were meant to be.

This book was a great wrap-up to the trilogy. The author did a great job with this book and with the entire trilogy. She was able to embed a huge overlapping storyline while giving the couple in each book their HEA. There was a nice wrap-up of some of the side characters, like Owen’s mom, that I really liked. Highly recommend.
