Under the midnight moon, dark secrets are revealed—
Cassandra thought she had the perfect life until she suffered a devastating tragedy. Now she has a new identity as Priestess Cassandra, owner of a New Orleans voodoo shop, and a new purpose. A research trip for a paranormal secret society leads Cassandra to Haiti, where rumors fly of a sinister voodoo master, Jacques Mezareau, who can resurrect the dead. Fortune hunter Devon Murphy agrees to guide Cassandra there safely, but his sensual appeal promises danger of a different kind…
and desperate hungers must be satisfied…
As Cassandra and Devon make their way to the eerie jungle village, their attraction explodes into an intoxicating desire, and Cassandra begins to question her resolve to never let another man into her life. Her attempts to resist Devon become more and more impossible. But when she succeeds in learning Jacques’s macabre ritual, her new powers may have come with a terrifying price. Now, haunted by violent dreams that grow more vivid as the midnight moon approaches, Cassandra must uncover the shocking truth about an ancient curse before it leads her to destroy herself—and everyone she loves… |
 RRAH's THOUGHTS AND PONDERINGS: 
As always, the latest Handeland Nightcreature Novel provides a great adrenaline rush only to be followed by the absolute downer of it being over. There is a memorable, admirable heroine, and a luscious leading man that surpass all others. The dialogue is excellent, and the plot is put forth in the first person so the heroine's experience is the reader's as well. In other words, it's awesome.
I don't have much else to say about this one because I pretty much sum it up in the first paragraph. I will only add that Handeland seems to be able to only write stories that are always great to visit... but so sad to say goodbye to.
