Why oh why do most paranormal writers use the first person? Despite the ‘I’ style, however, Handeland’s ‘Moon’ series is excellent. While you can read them out of order, it is best to read them in sequence—Blue Moon; Hunter’s Moon; Dark Moon; Crescent Moon—since characters move from novel to novel. In ‘Blue Moon’ Officer Jessie McQuade discovers there is more to her quiet little town than she has ever suspected. The wolf population is growing, and becoming strangely aggressive. Dead wolf-bitten bodies are disappearing from the morgue. Jessie finds Will Cadotte, a gorgeous [naturally] Native American activist, naked in the woods. Everything pints to werewolves, but Jessie is too smart to believe in those . . . or so she thinks until she finds herself wondering if Will could be one of those creatures she doesn’t believe in. As Jessie investigates a town’s deepest secrets, she has to decide who she can trust when the moon is full.
This book is beautifully written, intricately plotted, with snappy dialogue. The only problem I have with it [apart from the use of first person, of course], is that if you read the first two novels one after the other you find that the female characters are virtually indistinguishable. True, Jessie is tall and voluptuous and Leigh, in ‘Hunter’s Moon’, is small and petite, but as characters they are one and the same. This is a small criticism for two very good books. If you’re into werewolves, you should enjoy these novels
