After surrendering to the touch of her dashing lover, Lucien, Sylvie discovers the strange and haunted world of the werewolf, but their promise of eternal love is threatened by the arrival of Lycaon, the evil first werewolf. Reprint.
I grew up in both Dallas and New Orleans. Not knocking Big D, but New Orleans was more fun. One of my early memories was my dad taking me and my brother to the tomb of the great Voodoo queen, Marie Laveau, and telling us to make a wish. And people wonder why I write about the supernatural. Now I live in Salem, Massachusetts with a couple of haughty cats. (Although that's Gatsby the Chow in the picture.) Naturally, considering where I live, I've written three books on witchcraft under the name Lilith McLelland.
Third of the author’s trilogy about the Louisiana loups-garous. Returning from the previous books are Apollonius and Zizi, Sylvie and Lucien, and Achille the cop. Also playing a major role is Walt, Sylvie’s brother, who has just fulfilled his dream of becoming a werewolf, and Giovanni, a man of the church made a werewolf against his will. All of them must deal with the evil machinations of Lycaon, the first werewolf, who wants them to abandon killing for justice and instead slaughter indiscriminately, as he does.
Like the first in the series, ‘The Werewolf’s Sin’ follows a disparate cast of characters and jumps back and forth in time as we learn about their histories, which makes it feel a bit all-over-the-place (though not so much as the first book). However, they do at least have a common enemy in Lycaon, giving a more coherent plot. I’d say this is better than ‘The Werewolf’s Kiss’, but not as good as ‘The Werewolf’s Touch’.
