Crave The Moon Night Creature Novels Lori Handeland Books

Even though Gina is just barely keeping her family ranch afloat by offering 'dude ranch' experiences to city slickers, she is completely unwilling to entertain a request from moldy old archaelogist Professor Mecate who wants to dig on her land - there are just some secrets there that need to stay buried. However the persistent - and not at all moldy - professor will not be foiled. The Colorado location offers Matteo (Teo) Mecate the last hope of proving his deceased mother's crazy theory that a special being associated with the Aztecs really existed, so Teo decides to make his plea in person - but Teo is so desperate that he ends up as presenting himself not as himself but as a guest looking for a Colorado ranch adventure.

I am a sucker for a hunky but geeky hero and Crave the Moon's leading man Teo is just the right mix of gorgeous, capable, and clueless (when it comes to dealing with people). I actually liked the instant connection that he forms with the heroine, Gina, who also a bit of a square peg and it helps that both have common ground of guilt and loss associated with their parent's deaths. And I thought that their chemistry together was really good. I also really liked the Aztec mythic elements that were the foundation for the creature part of the story - that part reminded me of a bit of Nightkeepers' Mayan lore - and I also liked the way that Handleland tied this into a Ute curse to give the story a home in Colorado. So, with all of this good stuff going on, I would have ended up loving Crave the Moon if I hadn't been a bit disappointed by the part of the story that followed the reveal of the 'nightcreature'. After reading Moon Cursed, I was all ready for Handleland to take on mythical creatures from all over the world and the creature in Crave the Moon - or at least its minions - felt too much like ones from earlier books in the series.

Despite my expectations, I still did end up liking Crave the Moon and I am happy that Handleland is still branching out and tackling new lore but haven't given up hoping that Handleland again takes her show on the road - there is a whole world of mythic creatures out there who need love too.

Crave The Moon Night Creature Novels Lori Handeland Books Reviews

I absolutely love the Night Creatures series. I have a preference for "Earth's" mythologies, and Lori Handeland explores those deeply to create exceptionally captivating stories that have kick ass heroines tackling the beasts of legends. A the beasties provide sexy entertainment too! Well written, exciting, interesting. I am only disappointed that there seems to be no more of the Night Creatures series forthcoming....but, read them all, starting with Blue Moon. Do read them in order though, as the stories build upon the previous novels.
Lori Handeland was the 1st paramomal Author I read, and she,remains my favorite many years later! The stories she tells come alive in these pages, the charectors are well thought out and the writing style both unique and top quality. Crave the Moon is no exception! Lori Handeland remains a Word-Smith of the Finest Kind! I highly recommend this and all her books!
The delivery of this book was spot on! It arrived on the exact same day they said it could come in, the book, however is only okay. It has a lot of mystery and some action in it. I didn't mind how the romance/sex didn't take place a lot as it has in other nightcreature novels.

Anyway the action felt very M. Night Shyamalan-ish. It gears you up, keeps you reading, the creature does some damage and when the climax is about to happen...bam! It's over and done with. But other than that it's not bad, not the best in the series. But if you like curses, werewolves, and good characters, then go for it.
As a recently retiree with a drastically reduced income, I tend to stay in the $.99 category of books, but I read the sample of this book and had to have it. I had given up on finding books that were plotted, with good characterization, story arc, etc., and especially books that had been edited carefully before publication!

This books really gave me back the thrill of reading. Crave the Moon is well-plotted, has well-defined characters who jumped off the page and made me care about them. When it appeared that the book would end with the the to protagonists worse than dead, I was devastated. The situations were believable, so much so that I even believed in the Nuahua while I was reading. (I love stories that can make me suspend my disbelief).

There were no sentences that ended in the middle, leaving me hanging as I wondered whether I had skipped a page or what, words so badly misspelled that I wondered what the author had been trying to say, nothing to mar my immersion in this story, or to interfere with my enjoyment of this wonderful book.

Congratulations Lori Handeland on one of the best books I've read in a long, long, loooong time.
Gina O'Neill needs cash to pay the mortgage or lose her Nahua Springs Ranch that she and previous generations of her family have lived on for ages. She believes her best solution to earn money is more paying guests at her dude ranch.

One persistent potential customer is archeologist Matteo Mecate. He wants to excavate a section of her ranch in search of an Aztec tomb his mom told him about when he was a child. He believes her stories about a sorcerer buried on the O'Neill ranch. She plans to say no to the moldy ancient academic so is stunned when a young hunk arrives to make his case in person. As they fall in love, they awaken a dormant shapeshifting sorcerer with a thirst for revenge against the descendants of those who incarcerated this evil werewolf.

The latest Nightcreature urban romantic fantasy (see Moon Cursed and marked by the Moon) is an exhilarating thriller starring two intriguing individuals especially the archeologist whose letters the heroine rips and tosses out are written in stilted intellectual English. The story line is fast-paced as sometimes you get what you wish for and he does twice on first sight he wants sex with his hostess and second is the dig that gives hope of escape by a malevolent monster. Lori Handeland has another engaging Moon tale.
