When the wolf population of Miniwa, Wisconsin begins to stalk human prey, officer Jessie McQuade enlists professor Will Cadotte, a native American activist, to help in her investigation. Something very strange is going on and as Jessie follows the trail to the shocking truth, she'll have to decide who she can trust when the moon is full.
In Mimiwa, Wisconsin, police officer Jessie McQuade investigates a car accident between Karen Larson and a wolf that apparently bit the teacher. As Karen is rushed to the hospital, Jessie searches the woods until she runs into a naked man living in a nearby cabin. He offers her nothing new on her case except a desire to make love with him. Jessie does find a small totem at the accident site. The next day Karen goes berserk at school forcing Sheriff Clyde Johnston to kill her. Jessie realizes that rabies takes three months to incubate in people so wonders what really happened. On a hunch she takes the totem to Mimiwa University where she meets visiting expert Will Cadotte, the naked man from the night before. He is stunned by the totem who says he belongs to the wolf clan that uses these artifacts, but this one is different. It is that of an auwishuk, an evil Manitou. As Jessie struggles with a supernatural evil truth, she and Will fall in love, but as the evidence piles up she wonders if she can trust the professor. BLUE MOON is an exciting werewolf romance starring the ultimate disbeliever and the ¿perfect¿ counterpoint to prove that sometimes there are strange phenomena beyond the norm. The who-done-it is cleverly drawn enhanced by deep secondary characters, some of whom are on the wrong side of the American law (who knows what the law is on the other side). Still, it is the match up of the lead duo that makes for a howling time for those who read this entertaining paranormal police procedural romance. Harriet Klausner

I really loved this book. Lori Handeland did such an amazing job. If you really love werewolves, then this is the book for you. It can be read as a stand alone work, but you'll love it so much, you'll want to read the others.

I'm not much into vampire/werewolf hunter books since Anita Blake got carried away with those, however the dialogue and imagery the author uses is excellent. and I only read the sample, I'm gnawing for more!

Jessie McQuade, is a straightforward 'shoot-first, ask questions later' kind of personality. Self-depreciating, she doesn't feel she's the best looking gal but knows in heart that in other ways she's definitely the best for the job. I hadn't planned on picking up this book considering I haven't read 'just for fun' in quite some time but since this one had attracted my attention when it first debuted I thought I'd go ahead and grab it - and I'm glad I did. While tracking an assumed injured wolf after a collision on the highway, Jessie is shocked to find instead of her quarry a gorgeous naked man hidden within the moonlit trees. Drawing forth sensations she long believed couldn't exist within her, she returns to the accident scene where she stumbles across a small wolf shaped totem. The web unravels from that point on, making the reader wonder who or what could be the reason behind the rash of missing persons and random killings in the area. Could it be the hot professor, William Cadotte, who keeps her mind filled with lustful images? The strange Jager-Sucher from the DNR who forces her to confront her own beliefs? Or, could it be something much more sinister? Blue Moon is an interesting work that puts a new spin on a old myth. By pitting a professed skeptic against a 'woo-woo' believer and further supporting it by a clever secondary cast, it makes the reader want to believe in the unbelievable. Overall, it was an entertaining read. Nice job, Lori! Review by Author, Dehanna Bailee

Well written story with an engaging and spunky heroine. Reminds me a little of the early Laurell Hamilton vampire hunter novels. A good read with an appealing hero. I look forward to the next installment, Harvest Moon.

Overview
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 ...
