Cycles of the Moon

French Quarter Mystery #9

by Eric Wilder

The sun illuminates all things, the moon nothing but the shadows of our minds Paranormal investigator Wyatt Thomas awakens from a vivid dream in his French Quarter apartment. He finds an antique double-moonstone pendant placed in his hand by the ghost of a voodoo mambo. One of the two moonstones is missing, and both gemstones are needed to make the pendant magical. There are other problems. The rightful owner of the pendant is a supernatural fairy named Maurelle. Someone chopped off Maurelle’s wings and buried her alive in the ruins of a French Quarter Creole townhouse. A mystical beast still haunts the grounds of the estate. Now, the fairy’s lifeless body lies in the archaeology department of the University of New Orleans. To raise Maurelle from the dead, Wyatt must travel back in time to Antebellum New Orleans, find the lost moonstone and then return safely to the present. Will Wyatt survive the journey or become an unwitting foot soldier in the Slave Insurrection of 1811? He could lose his head and have it displayed on a pike in Jackson Square if he does. Cycles of the Moon is Book 9 of Eric Wilder’s intoxicating French Quarter Mystery Series set in that ‘exotic, erotic Mecca known as New Orleans.’ Read Cycles of the Moon and find out why one reviewer said, “Wilder’s novels are like an ice-cold Hurricane slush on a hot and steamy Louisiana day.”

Insurrection..

Eric Wilder weaves his spell once again in this entry of the New Orleans series. He is right to give warning that some of the book is unpleasant, but also historically accurate. Can't wait for the new one, Vodou Nights. Also love the introduction of Jake the Cryptid Hunter.

I’m really enjoying Eric wilders French quarter mystery series

I’m loving this series and book nine did not disappoint! Moved along at a brisk pace and kept my interest. Too many heads on pikes for my liking but history can be gruesome I guess. I listen to the audiobooks while I read these books , Eric this for you, please consider using human voice actors instead of virtual voice, it would really elevate ones reading experience I believe. 😏😏
