When a freak thunderstorm blazes through Lake Bluff,
Georgia, Sheriff Grace McDaniel and her deputies have their
hands full. When she's run off the road and injured, Grace
thinks she's imagining things when she sees a wolf and
hears the wings of a Hitchcockian collection of birds. When
she runs into Ian Walker in the middle of the storm, she's
sure she's hallucinating, until she meets him in town the
next morning. Ian, the new doctor in town, blends modern
medicine with traditional Cherokee cures and is an instant
hit in the small town, though Grace is wary of his
presence. Her suspicions of Ian increase when the
terminally ill in town begin dying at an alarming rate.
Having recently dealt with werewolves in Lake Bluff, Grace
has a healthy respect for the unexplained. When the victims
are examined and found to be missing their hearts, she
doesn't need convincing that the supernatural has again
returned to Lake Bluff. Grace has to wonder what part Ian's
arrival plays in the unnatural deaths. Ian knows much about
Grace's history and encourages her to embrace her heritage.
Unaccustomed to sharing that part of herself with anyone,
Grace struggles with the untamed wildness that's a part of
her. When the evil that's stalking the residents of Lake
Bluff changes the rules of the game, the only hope for
survival of the town and the man she loves is for Grace to
embrace her heritage and the power it gives her.
Lori Handeland's THUNDER MOON is my favorite of the
Nightcreature novels. Grace is a kick-ass heroine, Ian
mysteriously dangerous and the evil simply terrifying. The
story is original and well-written, the running joke
throughout is hilarious (who would have thought Chuck
Norris was funny!) and catching up with old friends is an
added bonus. Ms. Handeland has a gift for creating and
sustaining a mood throughout her stories that keeps the
reader eagerly turning the pages. This was a hard-to-put-
down thriller.
Practical, skeptical Grace McDaniel was not looking for
romance. The Sheriff of Lake Bluff, Georgia, and the
granddaughter of a Cherokee doctor, Grace’s hands are full
with the daily trouble of small-town life. Arriving in the
wake of a freak storm is Ian Walker, a mysterious stranger
who blends modern medicine and traditional Native American
cures.
Even though she is wary of his ideas, Grace cannot resist
what his touch awakens in her. But Ian is hiding a
terrifying secret. And only he knows the truth about a
creature stalking the citizens of Lake Bluff. A creature who
preys on the dying…and then on the young, the living, the
vibrant…Now, to save her people, Grace must put her faith in
Ian’s haunting power and succumb to her wildest
passions—before the rumble of thunder fills the air, and a
relentless evil strikes again…
