The supernatural war is heating up in New Orleans. Just days after helping put down a coup to overthrow the city’s vampire leadership, Juliette de Grammont—voodoo priestess and magic-using vampire—is summoned to the scene of a grizzly double ritual murder. There is a dangerous new supernatural enemy targeting vampires and their human lovers to reap their souls. As Juliette races to discover the identity of the necromancer, she is forced to recon with her own weaknesses and an ever increasing body count.
Working with the local werewolf pack and the Gatekeepers—a shadowy group of mages dedicated to keeping the paranormal world secret from humans—Juliette seeks to keep New Orleans safe for all who dwell within its borders.

About the author
Tracie Provost
3 books9 followersTracie Provost grew up all over the US, rarely staying in one place for more than a year. She dreamed of becoming an author but decided that that career path was not secure enough so she got a Ph.D. in European History. Despite the odds, that actually was more secure, landing her a job at a small southern college. Tracie never forgot her dream however and began writing again.
Still teaching full time, Tracie divides her time between academic and fiction writing. There is a surprising amount of carry-over between the two. In her spare time, she reads, watches bad TV on Netflix, and is ruled over by her numerous feline overlords. The common joke is that Tracie writes to keep her cats in good kibble.

Under the Harvest Moon is the second book in this series, but the author does a great job filling you in on the events of the first book. I hadn't read the first book when I read this one, but I felt like I knew the world of the characters, the struggles they were dealing with, and the events that had shaped their emotions up to that point. The world of magic and vampires is unique and intriguing and made for a fascinating read. The book ends on a cliffhanger of sorts, but not in an unsatisfying way. I look forward to the next book in this series!

I greatly enjoyed the first book in the series, so it was lovely to be back in New Orleans with Juliette, centuries old vampire thaumaturge.
This book picks up only days after the last book, with Juliette still reeling from the coup that saw her made leader of her coven. I loved how the different threads were wound together and expanded on. The new cases of the murders plaguing the city were exciting and I loved how Juliette used her magic at each scene. The constant dark cloud of the blue moon hung over the characters, hinting at an exciting resolution of the overall story to come in the third book. I also loved how Juliette and Josh’s relationship developed in this book.
Juliette is a great character. I really like the idea of the vampire mage, and Provost’s world building is great. I loved learning more about the types of magic, as well as about the vampires, gatekeepers and werewolves. Despite it being a crowded genre, the author manages to bring something new to the vampire clans of New Orleans.
As with the last book, there are lovely touches of humor and plenty of fun pop culture references.
The main story for this book is exciting and Juliette’s foe is suitably formidable and threatening.
Despite this being the second book in the trilogy, there is still some form of resolution, however there is a lot left up in the air for the third book. I’m even more excited than before to find out what will happen when the blue moon rises in December.
Thank you to the author for providing me with an ARC. I’m voluntarily leaving an honest review.

This 2nd book in the series was a fun read. Looking forward to future works and more of Juliette's story.
