Beschreibung des Verlags
A free shapeshifting dark romance, and winner of the RITA® Award, from the voice of New York Times bestselling author Lori Handeland.
When darknessfalls, another world comes alive . . .
The summer I discovered the world was not black-and-white but a host ofannoying shades of gray was the summer a lot more changed than my vision. Call me Jessie, or better yet, Officer McQuade. On the night thetruth began, our usually shy wolf population near my hometown of Miniwa,Wisconsin attacked. At the scene of the first crime, I found a wolf totem,which lead me to Professor Will Cadotte, an expert in Native Americanmythology, particularly of his tribe the Ojibwe.
From day one, he annoyed me. Tall, dark and gorgeous, he's also funny,smart and nearly as sarcastic as I am. I felt things when I looked athim. I wanted to keep feeling them longer than was healthy for awoman like me. I know what I am. Better off alone.
Nevertheless, we began to work together in an attempt to determine whatwas rotten in Miniwa. We were getting nowhere until the arrival of EdwardMandenauer, a self-proclaimed werewolf hunter.
Sure, I laughed and then one of our dead bodies walked out of the morgue.
After that . . . things got really strange.
Now a rare Blue Moon approaches, making me wonder: Who can I trust whenthe moon is full?
Fans of Jen L. Grey, Tessa Hale, and V. Vaughn will be enthralled.

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Sassy, wisecracking policewoman Jessie McQuade, the book's first-person narrator, takes readers on a thrilling hunt through the forests of smalltown Miniwa, Wis., in search of a mythical predator in this lively paranormal romance. No-nonsense Jessie has never believed in magic or other supernatural "woo woo," but when she sees schoolteacher Karen Larson turn rabid in the classroom and attempt to bite one of her students shortly after being bitten by a wolf herself, she begins to realize that the world is not just black and white but "a host of annoying shades of gray." Before long, she's tramping through the forest with a self-professed werewolf hunter by her side and lusty thoughts of gorgeous professor Will Cadote, an expert in Native American mythology, racing through her mind. The enigmatic professor may be able to help Jessie figure out why the onyx wolf totem she found on the road near where Karen was bitten is so important, but it's possible he may be a werewolf himself. Handeland (The Husband Quest, etc.) sets a feverish pace, thrusting Jessie into one dangerous situation after another, and she keeps readers in delicious suspense over Will's motives. What makes this book so compulsively readable, however, is Jessie's spunky narration, acerbic wit and combustible chemistry with Will.
