On the night the truth began, our usually shy wolf population near my hometown of Miniwa, Wisconsin attacked. Circumstances led me to Professor Will Cadotte, an expert in Native American mythology, particularly of the Ojibwe.Tall, dark and gorgeous, he was also funny, smart and nearly as sarcastic as I am. I felt things when I looked at him. I wanted to keep feeling them longer than was healthy for a woman like me. I know what I am. Better off alone.We were getting nowhere until the arrival of Edward Mandenauer, a self-proclaimed werewolf hunter.Sure, I laughed. Then one of our dead bodies walked out of the morgue.After that . . . things got really strange.Hunter’s MoonBeneath a hunter’s moon blood turns from crimson to black . . .Once upon a time they called me Ms. Tyler, Leigh to my friends, a kindergarten teacher who dreamed of love, children and that cliché picket fence.

Werewolves.Distractions can be deadly and Damien Fitzgerald, a drifter with a questionable past is the ultimate distraction. When I gave up love, I gave up sex. Damien makes me wonder if maybe, just maybe, that was a mistake. However, people who hang around me too long wind up dead, and I can’t live with any more souls on my conscience.Dark MoonAs the moon goes dark, secrets come to light . . .The bronze nameplate on my desk reads Dr. Elise Hanover-Virologist. I’ve made it my mission to cure lycanthropy. My life depends on it. I am a werewolf too.I’ve been holed up in a secret Montana compound for . . . what year is it? Let’s just say it’s been a while.But when the compound blows sky high and the biggest, baddest, craziest werewolf of all escapes, I’m thrown together with FBI agent, Nic Franklin. Unfortunately, he’s the man whose heart I broke once upon a time, and he hasn’t forgotten, or forgiven, me yet.My boss, Edward Mandenauer, is just waiting for a reason to put a silver bullet in my brain and the way things are going, downhill at epic speed, he may have found the perfect excuse.The worst part? I love Nic again, or maybe I love him still, and a weakness like that is certain to get both of us killed.

I DNF’d this because I couldn’t get over the fact that the h had a shorn head. I don’t know why. Just couldn’t do it.

What's next

The whole way through this set of books I kept thinking, what's next.
I was finding ways to sneak away to read it as every time I put it down I just had to go back to it again.
The story started off curious enough.
But then it goes on with references to WW2, current times mixed with Native American history and lore all the way through.
The way even love coming in to it, and you have to remember this story us about werewolves.
Awesome storyline.
I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Loved it, couldnt put it down

The story was intriguing and the characters drew me in. I wanted to be part of their stories and see where they were going. Thoroughly enjoyable. With all the amateurish books floating around i was delighted to find this one well written and although has sex scenes they dont dominate the book or appear more times than the actual story, which i am finding with a lot of authors now days. Looking forward to the next one.

First Book was fairly entertaining. The plot was well built and the characters has some bone. Even the male character had some personality aside from being insanely gorgeous and prancig naked at every occasion. The female character was extremly horny , but again retained some charm and personality.
So tried the scond book. Well the best parts were when the previous main characters appeared, here sex appeal and horniness absorved the plot.
I had no courage to read the third book

what an adventure

These books are such great reads…
What a ride.. Talk about twists and turns…
Oh and surprise villains, although some not so much, but some where just …Whaaat???
A really great series….
I was reading every opportunity I could, often well into the evening - when I should have been sleeping...

Love Lori’s books.

Lori writes stories that won’t let you put them down until the end and even then you find yourself wishing there was another chapter! I love a good paranormal with action, drama, and a little love thrown it. Lori always delivers!
Thanks.

Interesting read

I always like shape shifter type books. Great place to get away from life and explore fantasy. I've enjoyed these books! You are never sure how it will go with the characters. Add some love and it's a great read!

3.5 from me. Good paranormal romance, well-written, just (for me) a bit light on the emotional aspects. Enjoyed it though and would recommend.

DNF

I tried! But wow the setup was bad and slow and became predictable. I gave it 1/3rd of the way through book 1 before I lost the will to care and wanted her to get eaten.
