I can absolutely get behind werewolves infiltrating WI and lusty Native American professors helping out the local policewoman with her investigation -and such (wink, wink). Entertaining airplane reading. ( )She's a detective looking into lost people and he's a Native American activist, with a very shy big dog, honest. More and more of the locals are starting to behave strangely and they have to team up to investigate. They both have their own secrets and it looks like they are running out of time. They also have to decide what they are going to do with each other. And then the Jager Suchers turn up. Heroine is a HUGE sarcastic, smart-ass. I loved her. Other than the Anne Rice Vampire chronicles I have never really gotten into supernatural fiction, and I don't think I've ever read a romance novel. So I didn't have high expectations for this book, but I was very surprised at how much I liked the book. Mrs. Handeland really has something with this book. I was instantly captivated by the action that takes place at the begining of the book. The main character, Jessie, was very relatable. I could see myself in her shoes and her thoughts and dialogue was something I could hear comming out of my mouth. As the story progresses you begin to share the doubt that Jessie has and as new bits of the story come together I found myself trying to figure out who was the Wolf God. Overall I think this was very well written and I will definatley be getting the next book in the series. The only reason that I didn't give it a 5-star rating is that I don't see this book as being something that I would re-read. But I did like it and found myself for a few nights reading until I couldn't keep my eyes open, simply because I didn't want to put this one down. Not your typical werewolf novel. A few twists on the traditional storyline, well drawn characters, and a nicely paced mystery all make for a few hours of fun reading. I'll definitely read more of Handeland. no reviews | add a review
Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0312949391, Mass Market Paperback)Miniwa, Wisconsin is under siege, but not by the usual summer tourists. The area's normally shy wolf population has begun stalking human prey, and their victims have been disappearing...or worse. Something is happening in the woods. Something brutal and primitive... Officer Jessie McQuade has seen plenty in her years on the force-but nothing as intriguing as the gorgeous, naked man she encounters while tracking a rogue wolf. Professor Will Cadotte is a Native American activist. He's also the only man capable of distracting Jessie from her work. And for a cop, distraction-no matter how pleasurable-can be deadly. It's against Jessie's better judgment to accept Will's help in her investigation, yet she soon finds herself doing exactly that-and more. Will's dark, penetrating eyes see into a part of Jessie's soul she never knew existed. It's exhilarating...and terrifying. Now, as a town's deepest secrets come to light, no one is safe: not friends, lovers, or strangers. And as Jessie follows a bloody trail to the shocking truth, she'll have to decide who she can trust when the moon is full...
