Cassandra travels to Haiti so she can track someone down to show her how to raise a zombie. And what better place to go than the land of voodoo? With the help of sexy Devon Murphy, she tracks down a bokor rumoured to be able to do just that. Mezareau is scary and powerful. He also seems to control more than just zombies. And when he agrees to share the secret so she can go home and help Diana and Adam Ruelle, Cassandra gets more than she bargained for.

Yes, this is yet another Night Creatures novel, and it really shows a change in both writing style and in the general set up of the series. No longer are we really concerned solely with the Jager Suchers, but instead with paranormal creatures and their defeat by the hands of powerful men and women who happen to fall in love and have way way WAY too much sex all over the place. I will say I really enjoyed the plot—set in Hati, with a voodouin priestess searching for a master to teach her how to r...more
I thought I'd give Lori Handeland's Nightcreature series another go and try an earlier book. I really liked the blurb about the book.

I read this book the fastest so far in the Nightcreatures series. From the very beginning it starts almost like a folk-lore story. The story is written smoothly and was so hard to put down. Priestess Cassandra, who practices voodoo is working for the Jager-Suchers. She is sent to Haiti hoping to find out how to end the Curse of the Crescent Moon. Once in Haiti, Priestess Cassandra hires a guide to take her up into the mountains to find the evil Sorcerer who will teach her how to raise the d...more

Fortune hunter Devon Murphy agrees to guide Cassandra there safely, but his sensual appeal promises danger of a different kind
So far my favourite book of the series - might have something to do with that it's the first I read in english. The first 4 books I read in german and though I already liked them, I enjoyed this one much more. Maybe there was a lot lost in translation - again *rollseyes*. I just loved the humor in this book - the banter between the protagonists is exactly the kind I like to read. And I think the "vodoo story" was quite nice also
This book is again much better than the previous one. I was very disappointed with the previous books in the series.
This book is about the voodoo priestess Cassandra. There is a lot of voodoo to be told and you realize that the author has researched well. The book is exciting and looks more like an adventure novel than a fantasy novel. Werewolves play also a subordinate role. A little scary and fantasy is of course included, a lot of excitement and magic. The Voodoo Master Jacques is a f...more

2&1/2 stars
I can accept werewolves, but I can't accept a mother who wants to raise her daughter from the dead. What mother would want to see her child as a brains-eating-partially-decayed zombie? Only crazy ones. I don't know how Lori Handeland wants me to believe her main female character is anything but loony.

Loved the characters in this book and because of the element of magic and voodoo it kept me riveted from beginning to end.The Night creature series is easy reading for me an I have enjoyed every book on it's own merit so far.
SPOILERS:
I find Lori Handeland's books entertaining, but the characters dont endear themselves to me. In this one, continuing a series, it didn't quite gel. I found Cassandra's obsession to bring her daughter back to life, unconvincing and I kept waiting for her to see sense. As a matter of fact, unlike in the earlier book when she was a minor character, I found Cassandra to be a less interesting and sympathetic character in this, her own book. It took a lot to make myself care a...more

This book and the one before this book I've actually liked the female characters. They are not as rude as the other 2 from the first two books.
Good addition to the series. With the requisite hot scenes.
From one of my favorite series.
Devon Murphy & Cassandra
Another new setting - Haiti - adds a new aspect to the series. Interaction between the leads is great, and the back to New Orleans ties in with the other beautifully. Really good read.
I loved this latest Handeland book. She does such a good job of integrating native American legends with the Nazi horror. She's a good writer, with an interesting take on the werewolf stories.
Cassandra is such a interesting character. Her desire to learn more about Vodoo is so well done and the way in which she turns into a werelepord is brilliantly done. The passion is hot, the sex scenes well written. I enjoyed this book.

Book #5 (follows Crescent Moon) I liked the main characters (Cassandra AKA Priestess) and Devon. They develop and interract well together. Most of this book takes place in Haiti and there is black magic (bad voodoo), zombies, etc. There is a very sad element in this book that pertains to the loss of a child.
Lori Handeland Midniht moon is a must read.
It's an entertaining adventure, but it's kind of predictable and the series is really becoming formulaic. I hope the author finds a way to keep the material fresh in the following books.
This is one of Lori Handeland's books that I consider a favorite. Loved the byplay between Cassandra and Murphy as they traveled into the jungle and back again.
I enjoyed the story, however I never really cared for Cassandra or (Devon) Murphy. There were some good lines.
Better than #3, but not as good as #2
