wow
This isn't the first time i read this book, but it was the first time i made the connection between the book before it and this one. SPOILER. I hadn't realized that the main guy in this book was the evil grandpere' of crescent moon (was that its name). It gave me a new outlook on the novel as a whole and i appreciated lori handeland's writing all the better. i forget the characters name (grandpere) was so evil in the first book and there was not a lot of sympathy for him, but in this next book he appeals to you and you feel bad for his suffering. plus the romance between him and his PI was really steamy. I really enjoyed it, and like everyone else said, its really cool to see how far handeland's come as a writer..
Score: 4

An amazing book with crazy plot twists
Lori writes a fantastic adventure, once again. I read Rising Moon in one sitting, though I do that with many books. This was a page turner in every sence.
Philly PI Anne Lockheart recieves a picture in her mail, of her long-missing sister standing outside a New Orleans jazz club. It takes her about five seconds to pack up and leave, ariving in the French Quarter the next day. She not only gets a job and an appartment at Rising Moon, the Jazz club owned by a blind sax player, but she also checks out the police, finding out that her sister Kaite is not the only one to dissapear at Rising Moon.
Long, long time resident and club owner John Rodolfo imediatly captures Anne's atention, but it seems, though his body says yes, he want's nothing to do with her. Anne continues investigating her sister's murder, and John gives in to temptation...more than once! But also after her affection is homicide detective Conner Sullivan.
While the two men, and John's friend and bartender, King, continually butt heads over Anne and Sullivan's increasing suspicion that John's behind the dissapearances and murders, Anne gets more questions than answers.
Later, men start growing fur, a certian sight comes into play, and Anne keeps seeing her sister...or who she thinks is her sister.
A stimulating read that keeps you up at night, Rising Moon is an almost-perfect five.
Almost only because I'm a greedy reader. I hate when good books end - why can't they go on forever? The ending was a little abrupt for me, but still enjoyable and entertaining.
You'll love it if you're into fast-paced paranormal with a little sex on the side.

Gives a whole new meaning to Hot Suspense
Ms. Handeland has delivered a terrific, well-plotted story one more time. Can't wait for the next one. Brava!

New members of the Jager-Sucher Team!
Anne, PI extraordinare, has come to New Orleans in search of her sister, Katie....missing now for three years without a trace. Her only clue is a photo that she has received, of her sister in front of the Jazz Club, Rising Moon. Inside, she meets the blind, sad and talented musician John Rodolpho (surprisingly who is related to another Jager-Sucher)who she feels an immediate sexual attraction to.
Partnered with Detective Sullivan, who is also investigating a number of strange deaths/disappearances in the area, Anne looks for clues that will lead to her sister, and she begins to discover that what she once thought was fantasy and make believe (i.e., werewolves, magic, witches, etc) are real and can harm you. Faced with not one suitor, but two (a lonely detective and a blind musician), Anne must juggle love and find her sister.
I loved this installment in the series! I finished Midnight Moon and Rising Moon within 4 days. Both were quick and exciting. I can't wait for the next one.

great
Handeland had definitely improved with age. Her Nightcreature books only gotten better with each serving. Not only that, they each could be a stand-alone and still be enjoyable.
In Rising Moon, the reader returns to New Orleans during the Mardi Gras season. Anne, a regular plain Jane, is drawn to the city by a picture sent to her of her missing sister (gone for three years) standing in front of a jazz bar. Upon arrival, no one has seen or heard of her sister, but the owner of the bar, a blind musician, has definitely caught her eye. Anne in pulled in by Conner (the homicide detective from previous books) to keep an eye on John-the bar owner-because he is suspected of the missing persons/murders occuring in the Crescent City. Stranger and stranger things begin to happen.
I have to admit, I normally can guess what is going on at least 1/2 way through a book. And even though I knew certain people had something to do with the problem, I soooo did not guess the ending of this one. I would recommend Handeland's books to anyone who likes the romance, action, and fast-pace she delivers. Even though, each book is a stand-alone, I would suggest you start from the beginning just so you can get the full effect.
Score: 5
