Philadelphia P.I. Anne Lockheart's sister, Katie, went missing three years ago and now Anne has a clue to her whereabouts -- a picture of Katie in front of The Rising Moon, a New Orleans jazz club. When Anne gets to New Orleans, however, no one knows anything. So Anne takes a job at the club waiting tables, hoping to learn something that will lead her to Katie.

The owner of The Rising Moon, John Rodolfo, mysterious and dark with a tortured soul, is everything Anne finds attractive, though she knows nothing could ever happen between them. After all, she's not the type sexy, drop-dead gorgeous men are drawn to. But John seems to be. Then again, he's blind -- or is he? And is the air of mystery around him a sign that he's not what he seems? Why are people disappearing, and are they tied to the rash of animal attacks in the city during certain cycles of the moon?

RISING MOON is the latest in Ms. Handeland's Nightcreature series about the Jager Suchers and the monsters they hunt. It has a great plot, wonderful characters and a setting to die for, along with some pretty hot sex. I loved RISING MOON and hated for it to end. You gotta pick this one up. A very good read.
