Great story by a great author. Love how she doesn’t give me a straight path, and leaves me guessing. Diana and Adam have plenty of sparks and really like Luc, Adam’s son. In the bayou near New Orleans, so plenty of magic and voodoo. Highly recommend this book and author. Used to her stories up north so was fun to read in a new place.

Diana had been spending her life fulfilling a vow to a dead man that she had loved with all her heart. Diana was a zoologist by trade a cryptozoologist by choice. If Diana had followed her training she would be holed up in a zoo. Instead Diana traces mythical animals and try to prove they exist. Most cryptozoologists try to find undiscovered species or evolutionary wonders- real animals. But not Diana. Diana had loved her husband Simon and made the vow when he was dying in her arms. The only thing Diana had ever believed in was Simon. Then Frank Tallient called Diana at 3a.m. Frank had never met Diana but got her number from Rick who was the last guy who had told Diana she was fired. Rick was a lawyer who seen something big in the lake when he was camping with others and then got a hold of Diana Diana’s were very wealthy but stopped speaking to Diana when she married Simon. There was legends there were wolves in New Orleans but there isn’t any wolves suppose to be there. But disturbances when they happened were always during a crescent moon. Frank would have loved to come with Diana but he was not well. When Diana finds the wolf he wants Diana to trap the wolf and call him. All Diana wants to do is prove is Simon wasn’t crazy. Frank wanted Diana to find a werewolf Diana didn’t believe but would look Growing up there was no magic allowed in Diana’s life: no Santa Claus or tooth fairy. Then she fell in love with a man who dreamed magic. It had been four years since Simon had died. Originally Diana was suppose to have Adam Ruelle as her guide but he wasn’t where he was suppose to be. Diana had almost slipped off the dock into a gators mouth. A man had caught her and then he seem to disappear. The next day Diana went back and had a different guide named Charlie Wagner. The Ruelle place had been a mansion at one time but could now use work done on it. Diana asked Charlie to take her there and he did. Then Diana talked to frank and asked him to rent the Ruelle Mansion for her base of operations and he does. Diana’s original guide died and Adam offers to be Diana's guide as he was now dead as many believed. The more time Diana spends with Adam she worries that he may be the werewolf. Adam has a lot of secrets. Diana digs into Adam’s family and secrets are revealed. Also someone wants Diana to stop digging and Diana started seeing Cassandra - a local voodoo priestess and is trying to make sense of everything Also Diana is feeling things for Adam she hasn’t felt in a long time.
I loved this story it was a great story. I have been to New Orleans a couple of times it does have a sense of something other wordily. This had an awesome plot.There were a few times this story got a little slow but it didn’t seem to take away from the overall story. This story kept you guessing so there help to keep your attention for sure. I also love learning more about New Orleans history. There was so much in this story: zombies,magic, danger, adventure, voodoo, swamp curses, voodoo priestess, werewolves, dead bodies, romance, lust, mystery, suspense, and so much more what else could you want? I loved the characters and how they interacted. I loved the twists and turns of this story and I highly recommend.
